The kitchen was a mess of spilt flour and powdered sugar, egg shells and chocolate chips littered the counter. In the center of the mess was MC hard at work, frantically stirring the batter bowl in her hands before her fiance returned from work. It was the beginning of a three-day weekend, and she was determined to surprise him with a sweet treat after work. She knew all his favorite flavors of cupcakes from the bakery between work and their home, and MC had been secretly hoarding recipes for today’s surprise. She poured the batter into their respective tins and placed them in the oven. After setting the timer, she took in her surroundings. She was normally much neater when it came to cooking, but the excitement of making Akiyoshi something she knew he’d love made her work hasty. Laughing to herself, she swept the litter from the counter and into the trash. She wet a rag and wiped down her work surfaces, leaning down to check the oven every so often. All throughout her work, she hummed a simple melody with a smile on her face.
“What exactly are you up to?” a familiar voice ask, dripping with amusement. MC spun around to find Akiyoshi leaning in the doorway to the kitchen, his arms folded and a smirk plastered on his face.
“How long have you been there?” she asked, flustered that he had ruined the surprise. He had already discarded his jacket and tie, his sleeves rolled up to expose his strong arms. He laughed and ran a hand through his dark locks.“Only about five minutes” he replied with a quiet smile. Pushing his body off the doorway, he strode over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. With a quick kiss to the forehead, Akiyoshi could smell a mix of something achingly sweet. His lips quipped into a lopsided smile, and he looked past her to the counter.“Are you making dessert?” he asked, already knowing the answer. He looked back at her just in time to see her cheeks glow red. “It was supposed to be a surprise” she murmured, looking absolutely crestfallen. He couldn’t help but laugh as he cupped her cheek and have her a sweet peck on the lips. “I’m sure it’ll taste even better if we do it together”.
So the two of them got to work, mixing and stirring away in the kitchen in a synchronized pair. Their moves were so precise with one another, it was almost as if they had practiced every step. Whenever MC ran out of milk, Akiyoshi was there to pour. When he needed eggs for the batter, MC already had them out of the fridge. They were a perfect team in the kitchen, aside from one single task.The two of them stood, fresh cupcakes fresh out of the oven and ready to be decorated. MC rested her hands on her hips and stared at the unsuspecting desserts like she was studying for an exam. Akiyoshi has to bite back another laugh at her serious expression.“You know” he whispered, standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist, “they’re cupcakes, not the Manhattan Project”. Giving her a soft kiss to her temple, he swayed from side to side with her in his arms. She laughed and leaned back into his broad chest with a smile.“Stop distracting me! I’m trying to think” she said between chuckles. Despite her protests, she rested her hands on top of his and swayed with him for a moment. Her head lulled back and her eyes slid closed, and for a moment Akiyoshi feared she would drift off to sleep. Before she could get too comfortable, her eyes flew open in realization.“I forgot the sprinkles!” she yelped, running to the pantry. Akiyoshi chuckled and shook his head before lending a hand. The two of them began decorating the sweet treats, with containers of colorful frosting and sprinkles. Akiyoshi found it endearing how seriously MC took it, and after finishing off the last cupcake, he reached out and wiped a bit of pink frosting onto the corner of her mouth. Her brow shot up in shock and she took a moment to collect herself before dipping her finger in the blue frosting and doing the same to him. “Gotcha” she said, not even bothering to hide her giggle. He gave her a mischievous look and leaned in closer, wrapping an arm around her and pressing their lips together. He nibbled on her lower lip and she gasped, giving his tongue entrance to explore her mouth. She tasted of frosting and spun sugar, and his lips quipped into a smile as they parted. With one final peck on the lips, he pulled away and gathered up their finished desserts onto a plate.“Let’s eat these, but I like the taste of you better” he said with a wink. Her blush made his heart throb, knowing that nothing she could bake would ever be as sweet as she was.
