a kind of spark // licorice cookie x red velvet cookie

4 ~ small talks.

They were both looking each other in the eyes. Exploring them.
Suddenly Licorice snapped back to reality.

When Red Velvet kissed him.

—

Licorice's heart has blossomed for Red Velvets, for sure.
But after the so called kiss, it was extremely awkward between Licorice and Red Velvet.
Whenever Licorice got ordered by Pomegranate or someone else to go to the cake tower and run some errands, he wouldn't even look at RV because he would just go red. From embarrassment only tho!! It's not like he's actually in love with red velvet or anything..

Red Velvet didn't deny his feelings for Licorice, he's completely lovesick for him. Like a high-school girl who fell in love with the football teams leader or something. It was quite funny, he would sit in his soon and get lost in thought just thinking about Licorice.

One day, when Licorice was ordered by Pomegranate to go to the cake tower as usual - she said to just talk to RV. How did she know he wouldn't talk to him?
"Hold on, since when did you know I wasn't talking to him?" said Licorice, concerned Pomegranate was stalking them or something.
"RV told me." She said, of course. Of course rv told her.
Well then, it was just better to do it. He couldn't just not talk to his co-worker. It wouldn't get him anywhere anyway.
There was something he wanted to tell him.
They couldn't possibly like- be "friends" without red velvet knowing Licorice was transgender.
Licorice had been on testosterone for about 1 year now, so it wasn't noticeable anymore that he was born a girl. To say the least, he'd almost transitioned fully.
As he walked to the cake tower, his heart was beating quite hard. It's like he was nervous. Which he has, in this case. Technically, he thought he shouldn't be worried. Especially since he told every cookie of darkness already, a long time ago. But still, he was nervous.
When he reached the cake tower, he hesitated. Why was he scared? There was nothing to be scared of. But what if RV dosent want to work with him after he has told him? Oh god, now this is more nerve-racking.
He entered the cake tower, he didn't even notice his eyes were tearing up. He looked up, trying to find Red Velvet.
Huh, where could he be? He wasn't in sight. Maybe he's in his room?
Alright, even more walking, nice.
Walking up to Red Velvets room, Licorice needed to stop a bit to think. Did he really want to do it? Was it that necessary? Yeah, he thinks so. Just keep going, nothings stopping you except yourself.
There he was, standing in front of Red Velvets door, he lifted up his hand and hesitantly knocked the door.
Waiting.
And so the door opened, and there stood the slightly taller Red Velvet.
"Oh hey Licorice, what's going on?" Red Velvet said as soon as he saw Licorice standing in his door frame.
"I need to talk to you, about something." Licorice said, looking down. There's no going back now.
"Alright then, come on in then!" Red Velvet said, holding out his hand in a welcoming way.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you-.. well.." Licorice stuttered, geez, why's this so difficult.
"Take your time, i'm not in a hurry or anything." Said Red Velvet, in a calming matter. That made Licorice feel safer, his heart fluttered a bit from that.
"I wanted to tell you that i'm actually transgender, and I was born a girl. I'm almost done transitioning but- yeah.." said Licorice. Hip hip hooray, he said it!!
"I see, trust me Licorice, I don't see you any differently. You're still the same person you've always been to me." Red Velvet said, smiling warmly.
Licorice threw his arms around Red Velvet, without thinking. Licorice hadn't gotten a hug for a while, even tho he loved them.
Red Velvet hugged him back. It was quiet for a while, until Red Velvet spoke again.
"About,, eh, yesterday. I'm sorry about that, I didn't know what I was thinking." He slightly mumbled.
"Oh please, don't worry about that. Maybe I liked it." Licorice said, half snickering. Of course he was flustered about the whole thing too, but now that Red Velvet brought it up it wasn't so bad anymore.
"Hah, funny. But hey, we really should dance again sometime." Red Velvet said, more seriously this time.
"Sure. I wouldn't mind.." Licorice said, burying his head into Red Velvets shoulder.
It was silent now, until Licorice slightly broke the silence.

"I love you.." Licorice whispered.
