Suprisingly, im in a good mood. Despite it being as hot as hell outside, plus my hair, I was able to get the limited SSR character I've been wanting to get, and I still had some left over steamed rice from last night's raid (wich we won). Today's classes went suprisingly smooth. I failed a pop quiz from Professor Trein, and I didnt meet any of the extraverts.
I was walking towards the Ignihyde dorm mirror when Trey Clover bumped into me.
"I'm truly sorry!" The green haired man said. "Oh... It's fine..." I said in a quiet tone, there was some flour on my jacket. I looked back at him, he seemed to be holding a bag of flour and baking soda?
"Ah! Idia" The man with glasses exclaimed "I'm sorry to bother you but can you please help Malleus bake cookies? I promised him that I would help him, but Riddle gave me some errands to run" Trey requested
"Erm... im sorry but..." I decided to look at my tablet to see if anythings going on right now so I can escape this quest, The baker had caught a glimpse of my schedule. "Oh! You dont have anything to do right now. Malleus is at the laboratory just down the hall!" He handed me the ingredients he was holding earlier
"Ah! no.. I really dont!"
"Thank you so much Idia-san!" He said running off I just looked at him, shocked.
Should I just go back to my room and forget about this? No! I mean, that would be rude, Malleus is waiting. How come I was the one he bumped into. I started to remember the memories of baking together with my Mother and Ortho, it used to be my favorite time of the day, now we barely spend time with eachother, giving college and stuff... I remember when I used to throw tantrums when my mother wasn't able to come home and bake with me, ugh, cringe memories, abort...
"Fine!" My hands tutned into a fist. "Limited event, Baking with Malleus Start!" I say to noone
------------------------------------------------------------
I arrived at the laboratory. For some reason I ran all the way here, my har sticking to my forehead, and panting "Mr. Malleus! Im sorry!" I coughed, Malleus seemed caught off guard, not expecting me. "Trey couldn't come so I...." I gasped breathing for air "I came in his place" placing a hand on my chest I heard a chuckle. "Pay no mind Shroud, I'm quite content with you being here" Mr. Malleus said with a smile I walked beside him, and layed down the ingredients on the table. I started fiddling with my fingers "Um, should we start?" I asked him "Yes" He replied, his voice going soft
------------------------------------------------------------
The cookies we made, well Malleus made, weren't exactly the best. My tray looked fine, perfect i would say. I looked at Malleus' tray "Um, Well, it's the taste that matters! If it even tastes like a cooki" I tried lifting the atmosphere. I looked at Mr. Malleus, it was obvious he was upset, he looked at his 'cookies'. To be honest, it looked like a kindergardener tried to draw a tiger, but instead drew a pool of blood, I'm not being mean! I'm just telling the truth! Well, Maybe I am... "I'm sorry I couldnt help you that much"
"No, not at all, I quite like them" He said looking at me with a wide smile
Cute. Wait! What was I thinking! Scratch that!
I blushed and grabbed one of the cookies I made "You can try mine if you like" I held it out to him Next thing, Malleus was biting it. I mean ofcourse he would bite it! It's a cookie! But he ate. Ate from my hand!! I looked up to him shocked. He seemed to quite enjoy it. He was closing his eyes, really tasting it.
"Its quite good, I like the way its soft but not very soft to the point it has no crunch. And i like the way that the sugar is balanced, not to sweet, and not bitter. It's perfect" He proclaimed munching on the half-eaten cookie, eyes widened I chuckled, "I’m glad you like it Malleus-shi…" I said smiling widely.
