Chapter Text
Chiyo grinned proudly as she put the box on Nozaki’s desk. “Ta da!”
Nozaki glanced up from writing his outline of his next chapter and glanced inside it. “Bunny cookies?”
“Yeah,” Chiyo said as she held one of the smiling bunnies. “I made them in cooking class today. Aren’t they cute?”
The whole thing had been a challenge, especially getting the white icing just right, but adorable end result was worth it.
“The blue bows are a nice touch,” Nozaki said.
“One of the other groups had extra candies we were able to use for it,” Chiyo said as she beamed and blushed. “I haven’t eaten one yet because I thought..it would be nice if you got the first taste.”
“Oh,” Nozaki said with a soft smile. “Thanks, Chiyo.”
Chiyo squealed internally.
“But I can’t eat these,” he said sternly.
Chiyo’s heart dropped. “What? Why?!”
“They’re too cute,” Nozaki said as he pointed to his cookie. “I mean, it would feel like a crime if I broke one of them.”
“But they’re just cookies,” Chiyo said as she held it up. “Look it just has a little smile, and the tiny black eyes with their cute little paws....”
She trailed off as she tried to imagine breaking this sweet work of art and ruining this dainty little face forever.
“Oh...” she said quietly. “I don’t think I can either.”
“Right,” Nozaki said as Seo walked up to them. “It’s probably better to take a photo of them and-”
“Hey, you guys got cookies,” Seo said with a smirk as she snagged out of the box. “Thanks for the snack!”
“Wait, Seo-”
But before Chiyo could stop her, she chomped off the bunny’s little head.
“Mmmm,” Seo muttered as she chewed and let the crumbs fall to the floor. “These are good...What’s with you two?”
Nozaki and Chiyo just stared at her darkly.
“Murderer,” they muttered.
Seo blinked, shrugged and went for another cookie. She might as well be a serial killer.
