Soft, upbeat music could be heard, along with the sound of laughter, from the kitchen in Itadori and Megumi's apartment. So far, their task to make a cake for Nobara's birthday party was going smoothly.
"Okay, Yuji, half a teaspoon of baking soda?"
Megumi adjusted his apron and peered over at Itadori, who had the recipe in hand.
"Yep, and half a teaspoon of salt with that," Itadori replied.
Megumi serenely measured the ingredients into the bowl, slightly distracted by the ruckus coming from the pantry.
"What are you doing, babe? Can you get started on the wet ingredients? We don't have much time before th--"
Megumi was interrupted by a loud, resounding fwump from behind the pantry door.
"Oops..." Itadori said, while walking towards the counter.
His once black t-shirt was now covered in flour, along with his jeans. In fact, the whole front of his body appeared to be dusted with it.
Megumi dropped the teaspoon he was holding and brought his hand to his face with a groan.
Without a word, he grabbed a wet paper towel and walked over to Itadori, who was grinning sheepishly.
"Sorry Megs... I was getting the new bag of flour down from the top shelf and... it kind of fell," Itadori explained.
"It's okay," Megumi said, "and besides, I guess you look kind of cute like that; all covered in flour."
Itadori smiled and ruffled Megumi's hair, with an outburst of discontent from Megumi,
"Hey! Don't get it on me, too!" to which Yuji simply smiled mischeviously, beginning to wipe his flour-covered hands on Megumi's front.
Retaliating, Megumi grabbed a handful a flour from the bag, laughing, and threw it towards Itadori.
After plenty more flour attacks, they finally collapsed in fits of laughter, leaning against the counter for support. Each of them was covered head to toe in flour, the bowl of ingredients long since forgotten.
"I guess we'll have to tell Nobara we'll be a bit late," Megumi said softly, cupping Itadori's chin in his hand.
"I'm sure she'll understand," Yuji said, leaning in to close the distance between their faces with a soft kiss.
