Yozora had come to the conclusion that baking was nice, it was a lot easier than cooking. At least to her it was. The measuring and mixing was simple, and all they'd needed to do was put it in the oven once the batter was done. So long as they remembered to rotate the cake halfway through it's cooking time, it shouldn't burn. The chocolate cake had smelled delicious as it cooked, the girl could only hope that it tasted as good as it smelt.

Now that the cake had cooled down, it's smell wasn't as strong, but it looked all soft and fluffy in the pan "How do I get it out of the pan?" She inquired, it wasn't like she could just scoop pieces out.

"Run a butter knife around the edges to loosen it, then quickly flip it over and tap the pan" Saguru offered, it wasn't really a strong suit of his since Kaito did most of the baking.

"Okay" Slate narrowed with focus as she did exactly what Saguru told her to do. Yozora frowned, feeling disappointed when she lifted the pan to see that the cake had come out in two halves "I broke the cake..."

Saguru just smiled "That's okay, we can just glue it back together with icing" It's what he always did whenever he messed up "Kaito really likes icing so it's completely fine"

Yozora nodded, feeling relieved "That's good" She was glad that she hadn't ruined the cake.

"Kaito sometimes intentionally breaks the cake in order to justify putting extra icing onto it" Saguru added, he was in a great mood and really hoped that Kaito would be able to eat the cake... Even if he wasn't maybe he'd allow the magician just this once to eat something that he shouldn't.

The girl giggled at the information "Are we using chocolate icing as well?"

Saguru hummed in thought "Maybe vanilla, to make it different" Chocolate on chocolate was something that Kaito ate a lot, so using vanilla icing would be a nice change. He felt the cake, checking it's temperature "It should be cool enough to apply the icing on" They'd waited a decent amount of time and it was a somewhat cool day. They'd made a single layered cake to prevent the magician from trying to eat too much of it.

"Since Kaito likes to break the cake, should we break it a bit more?" Yozora inquired, eyeing the cake.

The blond shook his head "No, the cake is already unhealthy enough as it is" They should have made plans for a nice healthy supper instead. Yozora had asked to make a cake though, so they were making a cake. He grabbed a container of french vanilla icing and put it onto the counter next to the cake "Do you want to do it?"

"Yeah, it seems fun" She was going to use as much icing as possible! That way it would be extra delicious.

Gold softened "Have fun, I'm going to air out the house to prevent Kaito from trying to find the cake as soon as he wakes up" The house smelt like chocolate cake, it was a nice smell. Unfortunately it would ruin the surprise if Kaito awoke to such a smell lingering around. He left to open all the windows.

Yozora grabbed the butter knife that she'd used to free the cake from the pan, she then opened the icing and started to glue the cake back together. It turned out to be an easier task than she'd expected so she was able to start actually coating the top and sides with a thick layer of icing.

When Saguru eventually came back later to check on her, he paused. The container of icing was empty and the small single layered cake looked quite a bit taller and wider than it should. It would be nauseatingly sugary. Kaito would love it "It looks nice" Saguru stated truthfully, the sides and top were almost perfectly smooth. The overabundance of icing must have made the task easier.

The girl smiled, feeling proud of her work "I really hope that he'll like it"

"Oh he'll love it" Saguru assured. He'd be having a very small slice of it himself. Normally he wouldn't, but he didn't want to hurt Yozora's feelings. He checked the time "We should put the cake in the fridge, then figure out what dinner will be" It would need to be nutritious, high protein. Fish would work if it weren't Kaito. He turned towards Yozora "What do you think about having spaghetti?"

Yozora frowned "There's a vegetarian version?"

Saguru shook his head "There is but I want Kaito to get the nutrients from actual meat, thankfully we should have some frozen beef in the freezer" At the girl's confused look he continued "We got it from a farm that ethically raises their animals so Kaito's fine with eating it"

"I'm curious about what unethically raised animals means but I also don't want to know" She wanted to try a lot more foods.

"You don't want to know, just enjoy the food that you eat" The blond offered, he'll always regret how he'd turned the magician off of most meat products "Kaito likes meat but he'd feel guilty eating most of it due to the knowledge that he has" Saguru checked the freezer and pulled out the frozen beef that he'd been talking about. It was nearing their normal dinnertime, so it wouldn't be too bad if they had to wake Kaito up to eat...

"I can prepare dinner on my own if you want to go and do something else" Saguru offered, that way Yozora wouldn't feel obligated to stay and help "The longer preparation time should give Kaito more time to sleep" He was in no hurry to get dinner made. Their lunch had been a bit late so he wasn't too hungry yet.

"I'll go play with fluffy then" The kitten didn't really have any of the calming drugs in her anymore, so attempting to snuggle wasn't an option just yet. It would be one day, just not now.

Saguru smiled "Alright, have fun" Once Yozora was gone, he started to work on getting dinner prepared.

Me: I like icing, but there is such a thing as too much of it...

Yozora was cute child in this chapter >~<

Comment? ^-^

I  decided to try to eat pepperoni pizza yesterday since my mouth was less swollen... Only minimal strain to put spoon in mouth!

It was so tasty QAQ the grease was amazing, I'm so glad to have mastered the art of swallowing half chewed food

I just swallowed when I got to the extra crunchy bits instead of continuing to chew(after having my saliva moisten it). Didn't want to risk a sharp part hitting where my wisdom teeth were

And I overheard my mom tell my aunt that I wasn't prescribed pain meds, I thought that was what the ibuprofen was for °3° do people get prescribed other things too besides ibuprofen, amoxicillin (antibiotic), and nasty mouth wash?
