3rd person POV

It was just another day in Stolas' castle and, as usual, the day started off with Stolas trying to calm down his wife and explain the situation and Stella loudly arguing back as well as throwing around the various different plants that reside all over the palace, her father not seeming to be upset by the destruction of the flora he had spent so much of his afterlife caring for, Octavia, who was at the table eating her breakfast while trying to drown out the bothersome and nearly constant arguments  with equally loud music, read over old texts from her friends' group chat, trying her darnedest to ignore the surrounding commotion.

When she was finally done eating Octavia groaned as the mind numbing dispute was still ongoing and went back to her room, not wanting to put up with her parents' squabble, the dark and messy space not distracting her enough from the shrieking cries of her mother, you'd think a castle would have at least some decent insulation but this being hell most demons don't have such pleasantries, even so, her family was quite rich so why the fuck was the sound insulation so shitty?

With a groan she flopped on her bed a ping interrupting her music and when going to check what it was she noticed a text from her best friend (y/n), smiling at the screen as she read the short message "Hey, you wanna come over and make cupcakes?" replying with a quick "Sure" she got changed and called the limo driver.

Timeskip

A knock came from (y/n)'s door not long after, her rushing to open it, bursting with excitement, she hadn't hung out with Octavia in a while with all of her family problems but she was finally gonna be able to have a nice afternoon with the owl-demon, when opening the oak wood door she swung it open so hard it almost came off it's hinges.

"Um... hi?" Octavia stood on the other side of the nearly destroyed door, a bit startled by her best friend's eagerness, sure they hadn't hung out in a long time but the owl girl hadn't noticed just how long it had been "Come in, come in!" the (h/c)ette said, excitedly ushering her in, and telling her to leave her things on the couch and wash her hands, the black haired (feathered?) demon complying with her friends request and then heading into the kitchen where she'd disappeared to a minute ago.

"Hm? you ready?" the (f/a) demon asked with a hum, the other girl nodding only to get an apron shoved a little too close to her face, she'd almost forgotten how hipper and slightly aggressive her friend could get when left alone for too long, grabbing and taking a closer look at the article of clothing she noticed it was a lilac Kuromi apron with black lace and bows and pink details.

"You're not seriously gonna make me wear this right?" The owl demon asked, trying to sound nonchalant, knowing full well that (y/n) either got her this to embarrass her or she genuinely thought she would like it "I mean, you could always just use this one" she answered, turning around to reveal her white and blue polka dot Cinnamoroll apron with pastel blue lace and pink details.

"Uh... I'll pass" Octavia replied with a sigh, putting her apron on and helping the (h/c)ette with taking out everything they needed, with all the ingredients out, they got cooking, (y/n) mixing the many drys and wisking them together adding each ingredient with a hum and a wave of her measuring spoon to get some of the powder off while Octavia worked on the wets, careful to not get any egg shells in the mix or to add too much vanilla, when they were both done with their part they mixed both of their bowls' contents, adding a cup of buttermilk, spilling a smidge of batter here and there when mixing it once more.

When the batter was nice and smooth they brought over the muffin pan, with six cute (f/c) liners ready to go, filling them 3/4 of the way with the chocolaty batter each and placing them in the already warm oven, (y/n) swiping a finger on the side of the bowl to pick up a bit of the leftover batter and sticking it in her mouth with a delighted hum declaring it was perfect, a few minutes later their chocolaty treats were finished and ready to cool, (y/n) carefully took the tray out of the oven and placed it on the counter along with her oven mitts, the aroma of freshly baked pastries filling the room and, soon enough, the whole apartment.

While waiting for them to cool they sat in a comfortable silence in (y/n)'s living room, reading books while enjoying a cup of fresh cinnamon tea, soon adding their freshly baked cupcakes to the menu, the now orange and pink sky bathing the room in it's warm and calming glow the hot liquid warmed Octavia's hands as she firmly held the patterned mug, occasionally taking a few sips, the cinnamon tea leaving a pleasantly bitter aftertaste that stuck to the top of her mouth.

Her fuchsia-sclera-d eyes combed through the words on her new novels pristine pages, the story and characters slowly unraveling in her head, their struggles and accomplishments resonating with her, each cliffhanger at the end of a chapter enticing her to continue reading, disregarding the passing hours, the plush couch and warm atmosphere lulling her to sleep over time.

That afternoon even if it was only for a little while, hell didn't seem so hellish.

So! I was able to finish this one in the nick of time! It's a bit short but I hope you enjoyed it! I feel like this was less of an x reader much less an angst and more like just a random cute little story, even so I really enjoyed writing it!
