Dan Gao (A YiZhan One Shot)

Wang Yi Bo can already see his future. There is none. Why? He forgot his mother's birthday!

Stupid skateboard competition. Why do you have to be on the same day as my mom's birthday! I'm so screwed. My mom will kill me for sure. Cake! I need cake. I need flowers. Yi Bo, you're stupid! It's almost midnight! There's no way on Earth a cake store will open up just for you.

Wang Yi Bo was racing on his skateboard on the empty, almost dark streets of the city, trying to find a cake store in the middle of the night.

I will be double dead if I buy something off of a convenience store.

He turned to a corner of a big street. And like a ray of sunshine on his dark, dark night, a storefront has it's light on full blast.

CAKE! CAKE! CAKE! CAKE! CAKE!

Wang Yi Bo stopped in front of the store and started knocking. He could knock the door off its hinges if he wants to, if not restraining himself. It's almost 11 in the evening, he is the only one on the street, but the lit-up bakery gave him hope.

"Do you have cake?" he repeated countless times, not giving up hope. "Hello? YOU REN MA? (Are there people there?) Do you have cake?"

An annoyed Xiao Zhan walked out of the kitchen and into the store, he saw this guy continuously knocking on the glass window of the door, with a skateboard on his left hand, a big backpack on his back and a huge ass trophy peeking out of his backpack.

"Stop knocking already! The glass will break!" Xiao Zhan walked to the door just looking at the guy on the other side, not unlocking it. "What do you want?" he asked, still annoyed.

Wang Yi Bo smiled. "Hehe, do you have cake?" he asked.

"No, this is a computer shop, we don't have cakes."

With a puzzled look on his face, Yi Bo looked around the store. The display, the glass windows and the store sign, they all have drawings of cakes. The cake fridge even has actual cakes on them. He examined the guy on the other side, he was wearing an apron with dust of flour and smears of butter. His face looks like he wrestled a pastry and lost.

"Hey, you do have cakes," he said pointing at the fridge.

"Then why do you even ask? Stupid." Xiao Zhan said under his breath. He crossed his arms.

Wang Yi Bo smiled again. "Sorry. I want to buy a cake."

"We're already closed. Come back at 9 in the morning," Xiao Zhan said and immediately turned around and started to make his way to the kitchen.

"No!" Yi Bo yelled. "Please! It's a matter of life and death!"

"Then don't count me on it, I enjoy living."

Xiao Zhan is not being an asshole, he was just being cautious. He doesn't know the guy, for who knows what this skateboard dude wants. He can't help but curse at his assistant who didn't roll down the security door. He was working on a cake that will be delivered tomorrow night, that's why he was left in the kitchen, too busy to know what was happening in front. His assistant might have thought that Xiao Zhan would still go home (his home is close by) after he finished his work. There's a back door, damn it!

"Please," Yi Bo continued to knock. "Please I am begging you. My mom will kill me."

Xiao Zhan stopped on his tracks. He turned around and looked at the guy outside his store. "What cake do you want?"

"Strawberry cake," Yi Bo smiled from ear-to-ear. Finally, there is hope.

Xiao Zhan looked at the fridge. "We're out of strawberry cake."
