𐙚₊⊹ frat!gojo (re)baking cupcakes with shy!reader | part 1.5 to this fic but can be read alone, fluff, crack, he’s kind of a freak like once, they’re oh so whipped for each other (get it?) (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)
you contently slept in satoru’s comforting embrace for what felt like an eternity, feeling so secure and warm in his arms while he cradled you like you were something precious—completely forgetting about why you were spiraling earlier in the first place.
on the other hand, gojo feels like.. as if he’s forgetting something. but he can’t put his finger on what though..
then, a sudden alarming scent wafts through his nostrils, and finally gives it away.
‘oh my god, there’s something burning in the oven.’ his body shoots up from the couch and he darts to the kitchen with you in his arms.
the sudden movement startles you awake—you stir in his chest before peeking at satoru, as you’re met with his mortified cerulean eyes.
“satoru..? what’s wrong?” you mumble in his chest.
“did you forget to turn off the oven?” he yelps with genuine fear.
in that moment, your heart just sunk to the bottom pits of hell,
how could you be so reckless? you nearly burnt down your entire apartment because of your sudden need to stress bake.
you slap your palm to your face before freeing yourself from his grip—quickly ushering to the oven afraid of what you might encounter.
you scan the room for oven mittens, grabbing a random pair that are probably mismatched, but will do to prevent potentially getting a third degree burn as you quickly put them on and slowly, but carefully open the oven.
you carefully take the burnt cupcakes out from the oven, flinching at the oven heat wave before placing the tray on top of the stove.
“oh my god.. they’re practically rocks,” you frown embarrassedly at how the what was once a cupcake, is now a fossil that makes a loud thud! noise when dropped on the marble counter.
“i’m sorry satoru, i baked these for you so you could eat them after class.. but i forgot about them and they burnt to crisp. i nearly caused a fire from my recklessness. i don’t even know how the fire alarm didn’t go off..”
“baby no no no! don’t apologize, if anything, this was the best case scenario. most importantly, i’m glad you’re okay. i’m just glad that the oven didn’t burn the whole apartment complex down.. ” he teases light heartedly.
“—hey, i really appreciate you for being considerate and thinking of me.” he laces his hand through yours and reassuringly rubs his thumb over your knuckles. “how about this, we rebake the cupcakes together.”
“really?” your ears perk up, and soft lips return into a gentle smile.
you open the cabinet and grab a store bought box of cupcake mix and frosting to make chocolate flavored cupcakes.
satoru hums a familiar tune as he gets up from the stool—reaching for an apron as he brings it over your neck, wrapping it around your waist and ties a messy bow on the back—then planting a gentle kiss to your neck and grabs himself a matching apron.
you open the bag of batter and pour it into the bowl and quickly peek over at satoru, where he’s licking frosting off of the lid.
“the frosting isn’t going no where,” you tease.
“yeah yeah, whatever! want some?—wait! you should totally lick it off of my fingers.” he flashes a boyish grin and wiggles his frosting covered finger in front of your flustered face.
“ew! stop being perverted and do your job,” you swat your hand at him and giggle.
“worth a shot!” he shrugs.
you notice frosting on the tip of his nose and your heart melts at the sight, reminding you how much you truly adore satoru.
“you’re staring baby.” he tilts his head and bats his snowy lashes at your love-struck face.
“uh.. yeah sorry, you have something.” you press your lips together and wipe the tip of his nose with your finger. gojo’s smile reaches his ears at the thought of the fact that he’s being gently touched by you—he quickly peppers kisses all over your face.
“hmm?” you fight back a large smile.
“just showing my girl how much i love and adore her!”
“.. i love you too satoru.” you smile shyly at his confession.
“what was that?” he leans down to your ear and smirks.
“i love you satoru,” you whisper.
you an satoru spend the rest of the time playing with flour and feeding each other raw batter. he licks the batter off of the spoon in a “seductive” manner—which you then end up scolding him because he’s nearly about to finish a whole bowl of raw batter.
you’ve always loved domestic moments like these, just the two of you being silly and careless with each other while doing something together in the apartment no matter what it is. it’s a nice familiar way to ground each other, since he’s always busy with his frat stuff, and your nose is always stuck in books.
after occasional hip bumping, shared laughter, and throwing flour at each other, he helps you clean up and puts the cupcakes in the oven to bake.
and this time they don’t burn to crisp.
the sweet comforting cozy scent of chocolate and brown sugar lingers throughout the whole apartment as you sit on the kitchen stool in front of satoru—telling you about his day while you listen attentively before getting interrupted mid sentence by the sound of a ding! coming from the oven.
he claps his hands together as he bolts up from his stool. “oh my god.. these smell amazing.” —moaning exaggeratedly as he reaches for oven mitts and opens the oven.
you set the piping bags on the counter as satoru places the tray of freshly baked cupcakes on top of the stove—allowing the chocolatey flavored cupcakes to cool down before taking each individual cupcake out of the tray.
you both begin to precisely pipe each cupcake with frosting—but as you’re focused on your own cupcake, satoru stops mid pipe and and admires how you look so effortlessly pretty when focused on something small. like decorating cupcakes.
his cupcakes actually came out decent looking for what they are. he let you have the first cupcake bite of approval—watching your face light up in delight before taking a bite himself.
it’s safe to say you’re both proud of how the cupcakes came out after a very dangerously failed first attempt..
