an: yay! I managed to drop a post for christmas, this is a word vomit since I decided to make this after getting some free time :')) am i the only one who didn't make a christmas post? *wails*
"may I ask what that is?" riddle pointed to the tray that contained what you would call 'your juiciest cookies' but riddle thinks of it more as some sort of poison.
"It's a cookie!" you raised the tray and pushed it closer to his face and riddle swears that he could smell the scent of death wafting to his nose-
but he couldn't tell you that, not when you have the proudest look in your eyes and the biggest smile on your face- how could he say that your cookies sucks right in front of you? he admits he's ruthless when it comes to criticism but he would never say such horrible words to you.
"ah, well.. I see that but why would you make it? I appreciate your efforts but Trey had already made a batch of cookies for this year's christmas party." riddle put on some mittens as he took the tray out of your hands, he could see how your arms were starting to wobble after-all.
"erm, I wanted to at least contribute something for this year's christmas party.." you looked down at the ground in shame, you knew that the cookies you made weren't the best and you know that lilia could probably make cookies better than you but you at least wanted to help or contribute something for this year's christmas party..
"you have already contributed enough, you helped with making the decorations and putting it up and displaying it, you had helped us get some ingredients and do other tasks when everyone was so busy and for that me and the rest of us are grateful for your efforts. you probably think that your actions were just basic chores but no one else would've done it and we wouldn’t have such a smooth party if it weren’t for you and your efforts to help us.” riddle blurted out what was on his mind, he scooped out the ‘cookies’ out of the tray and placed it on a clean plate as he went to the sink to wash the tray but you were too stunned to move.
Did riddle just comfort you? You looked up and saw his back, you could see the clear rosy tint of his blush spreading throughout numerous parts on his body, his neck and ears and maybe his face too was beet red but you decided to not comment on it, the boy might suddenly bolt out of here if you notice the flustered state he was in so you decided to look down again when he turned around to face you.
“Thank you riddle-” you decided to lift your head but riddle was nowhere at the sink, your head turned to the side and there you saw him. His mouth was open wide and his brows furrowed, it was as if someone was feeding him poison and you can’t help but laugh at his expression.
“Are you seriously going to try it out? It doesn’t even look edible at all, lilia’s cookies would’ve been more acceptable than that.”
“Well, you did make it and I wouldn’t want your efforts to be wasted.”
you can't help but smile at his words, appreciating the fact that he wanted to atleast try what you made instead of immediately dumping it in the trash.
"seriously, don't try to eat that riddle or you'll suffer a painful stomach ache later."
