Third Person.
Daniel's eyes furrowed in concentration as his eyes scanned over the instructions to bake the cake.
"Alright, how about 3 of us start the cake and the other 3 make the icing?" Daniel announced, looking at them for confirmation. The group split into two; Zach, Melody, and Daniel making the cake while Conan, Ashton, and Jack start the icing.
"Alright, let's get started." Zach rubbed his hands together and Melody cracked some eggs into a bowl.
"I thought you could get sick from eating raw eggs." Daniel frowned. "They're literally being cooked, dumbass." Zach face-palmed, "Sheesh, and I'm the high school drop out."
Melody laughed and shook her head at the two boys. "Should we add food dye?" Daniel asked as he put in the suggested amount of butter. "Why would we add dye if it's already red velvet?" Melody questioned as Zach rushed to pour some water into the bowl.
Daniel cut himself off from answering Melody's question to scold Zach, "Why would you pour the water before we even added the mix?!"
Zach just shrugged, but the attention quickly moved from him to the other three when a dramatic scream could be heard.
"She put the icing in my hair!"
"Well, you were getting on my neves!"
"God, you guys are such children." Daniel groaned, going back to adding in the cake mix, as Melody walked over to the icing to see how they were doing. "Why is it brown?" She frowned. "Jack added too many different food colorings." Ashton answered as she glared at Jack, who just shrugged in reply.
"Well, it's a good thing we have store bought icing to write on it with." Zach stated, hugging Melody from behind. Melody smiled and looked at him, "God, I'm so glad we bought other icing just in case."
The group spent another 2 hours baking/decorating the cake until eventually they sat Corbyn at the dinner table and lit the candles. Daniel and Conan began recording with their phones as Melody began walking out with the lit cake.
"Happy birthday to you," They all sang in usion, all in a different key, as if almost all of them aren't musicians. Melody began walking towards corbyn with a smile on her face as he laughed loudly, at both the way the cake looked and how oddly they were singing. "Happy birthday dear Corbyn, happy birthday to you." They all finished singing, clapping as he blew out the candles.
"That cake looks so fucking bad, holy shit, I love it." Corbyn laughed loudly and they laughed along just as loud. Melody sat the cake in front of Corbyn, Zach kissed her cheek and sat down right before Daniel stopped recording. And of course, Daniel being Daniel, posted it right to his instagram story without thinking anything of it.
The rest of the group sat down at the table as well and Conan began cutting the cake. "It may look like ass but I promise this shit gonna taste like heaven." Zach nodded and Melody laughed a bit, grabbing paper plates for them.
The cake was covered with brown icing. "We luv corb", "big dick besson", and "happy birthday bestfriend" was written on the cake with blue icing while sprinkles were poured all over it.
They all ate the cake with smiles on their faces, making conversation amongst each other. "Tonight has been really fun." Ashton sighed happily as she finished her slice of cake. "Yeah, thanks for inviting us over. Jokes aside, all of you really are my best friends." Jonah beamed a smile at them. They all returned the smile and Melody nodded, "No cause, you guys mean so much to me."
"Alright, enough sappy shit, I love yall but I'm tired." Ashton smiled and started throwing the plates away. "Hm, yeah. Me and Melody are probably gonna head to bed." Zach yawned and Melody nodded in agreement.
"Man, that's not fair. We all get sleeping bags and you get a bed. This shit is favoritism." Daniel huffed causing them to laugh. "Yep, guess I'm just lucky like that." The youngest boy grinned, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
They all finished setting up their sleeping situations and began turning off the lights. "Goodnight, guys." Melody smiled, holding Zach's hand as they walked to her room. They all said goodnight and got comfy in their sleeping bags.
As soon as They stepped into her room and closed the door, Zach grabbed her by her waist and smashed his lips against hers. The two shared a passionate kiss until eventually they pulled away.
"Sorry, I've just been waiting to do that all night." He clarified with a smirk before getting in bed. Melody laughed, "Trust me I could tell. You're very touchy."
"Nah, that's just me." He retorted with a big smile as he pulled her closer by wrapping his arms around her after pulling his shirt off. She smiled at him and gave him a soft kiss, getting butterflies when she felt him smile against her lips.
"Goodnight, angel." He hummed and kissed her head once they pulled away. "Goodnight, Zachary." She smiled and turned off the lights.
"Sleep well, okay, baby?" He rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb, soothing her into sleep.
"Okay, Zachary." She mumbled with a smile.
