Chapter Text
Sasha held her breath as she placed the tray of cookies in the oven. Once placed, she slowly closed the oven door as if it would somehow ruin them.
She sighed in relief, she’d been trying to make these god damn cookies all day, but something must’ve been wrong with whatever recipe she was using.
“Gotta just wait 30 minutes then done. Hopefully for good.” Sasha mumbled, gathering up everything used and putting it all away. She glanced at the clock: 2:15. She had 45 minutes plus the time it took for Mikasa to get home. Giving her enough time to clean up and let them cool.
Sasha got to cleaning right away. She wanted to do something special for Mikasa, just as a thank you for putting up with her bullshit. She really hoped these would come out good. The last two batches looked like they weren’t even cooked.
As 30 minutes passed, she took them out of the oven and,, they looked terrible. Like the last few batches, they looked uncooked and gross. “Oh fuck.” She said, placing them on the counter as she sighed in defeat.
She heard a soft click and the sound of the door opening. “I’m home!” a voice called. Oh shit. Sasha thought as she walked out into the hall, oven mitts still on.
“Heyyy Mika.! You're home early!” She tried to act as if nothing happened, but she easily saw through her lies.
“Got off early. What happened?” Mikasa asked, “Were you cooking?”
“Yeah so um,, about that..” The taller girl sighed and passed by her, walking into the kitchen. Sasha followed right after her. “I tried making cookies but they may or may not have turned out terrible.”
Mikasa let out a small laugh “Yeah I can see, they don’t even look edible.” She smiled softly at Sasha. “Where’d you get the recipe even?” She turned and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
“Connie. They failed the first few times too so I asked if there was something wrong but didn’t get an answer.” Sasha sighed as Mikasa wrapped her in a hug.
“I’m off tomorrow, maybe we can find a different recipe and try again if you’d like.” She said as Sasha returned the hug.
“That’d be nice.” She responded, a small smile on her face.
