closed for @hellrisings ( kai & beck )
the afternoon sunlight spills through the windows of kai’s bakery. he takes a breath, inhaling sugary sweetness as he checks the front door for any sign of him. beck has unknowingly become a part of kai’s daily routine, woven into every moment. he tries to focus, hands busying themselves with kneading dough, but his thoughts drift away. then - - the bell above the door chimes and kai’s heart nearly jumps from his chest before he can stop it. golden curls catch the light, and a giddy grin pulls on kai’s lips. he moves too quickly, too eager to greet beck that his elbow knocks a tray of brownies he’d left on the counter to cool. they clatter to the floor but all kai can do is smile at the other, flour dusting his cheeks. “beck, hi,” beams as he steps over the brownies, “i baked you some more cookies. did you…” rubs the back of his neck nervously, “did you like the last ones?”
