"Now just put them in the oven and they'll be done"

"What is it this time?" your loving boyfriend Nijiro asked you. "It's cherry danishes with cream cheese." you replied.

You and Nijiro had been dating for 3 years and living with each other for 2 years, and you both couldn't be any happier. was the total opposite of what was expected. Nijiro did all the cooking while Y/n did all the cleaning. It was 50/50. But there would be rare occasions where Y/n would decide to bake, and lord was she good at it. At every family event she would attend, she would always be asked to bring some type of dessert, making her the official family baker.

Now this wasn't a problem for Nijiro, though. In fact, he looked forward to the days where she would bake because she would always have some leftover for the two of them to share. Don't get me wrong though, Nijiro is also a really good baker, but when it comes to trying to impress his beloved girlfriend, something would always go wrong. Wether it be eggs going everywhere to having flour on the ceiling, Nijiro always found a way to screw up so he left it up to Y/n.

A few days later Y/n started baking again. " Who are they for?" Nijiro asked you looking at the cookie recipe on your phone. "Hmm? Oh, they're for us. I'm craving something sweet." You replied.

"Let me help you."

"No it's ok. I'm fine."

"I'm helping."

"Alright then. First wash your hands."

"Ok, what's the first step" he asked you. " Well first we need our ingredients. We need 2 cups of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, a stick and a half of butter, 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and some strawberry jam" you read off the list.

After you both had gotten all the ingredients and preheated the oven to 350 F, all you had to do was prepare the dough. "Ok, hit says 'In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt'." "Done" Nijiro said as he put the flour and salt in the bowl. As he did so, flour went everywhere including his and yours faces.

"..."

"..."

You both stared at each other, faces still covered in flour. Nijiro was worried that you thought he was bad at this and that he messed everything up, but instead you laughed. Your laugh instantly brightened his mood, and made him feel better.

After that the rest of baking was a breeze. After the tension and awkwardness was broken from your laughter it was a lot more easier for Nijiro to relax. The two of you had fun and even took a few pictures of your flour covered faces before washing the flour off.

"Ok now press your thumb in it." you said once to cookies were rolled into balls. "Won't that ruin the cookie though?" Nijiro asked you. "You'll see." you simply replied. He did as you said, and you did the same after on the opposite side making a heart shape.

After you had finished making hearts in all of the cookie dough, you put strawberry jam in the middle to fill the hollow empty heart space. "Now all they need to do is sit in the oven for 12 to 10 minutes. Fun." you said.

As you waited, the 12 minutes felt like eternity. When they were done you took them out to let them cool. The smell of the cookies wafted through the apartment making the whole house smell savory, good, and sweet. "These better be good." you muttered to yourself.

Finally when they were cooled, you called your beloved over to look at your creations. The heart shape had gone a little wonky but, other that that they looked good. "Alright, time to try one." Nijiro said.

As you both lifted a cookie to your lips, you guys counted to three. "One, two three!"

Your expressions said it all. Nijiro's face had a smile, but you could see the pain behind his eyes due to how bad the cookie was and he kept chewing, and chewing, and chewing refusing to swallow that awful cookie. Your face also had a smile, but this one was a forced smile

"Who needs cookies anyways?" You finally said after swallowing the dry dog biscuit of a cookie.

"You have some crumbs on your face." Nijiro told you. "Let me get them for you."

As he leaned in closer to get the crumbs of your face, he gave your lips a light peck.

"Hm, your lips are sweeter than any cookie." he said while you stood there, face red.


Loved this one. Was this based off of me baking yesterday? Yes and no. Unfortunately I had no hottie (Nijiro) wipe crumbs from my face. How sad. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this one, and if you didn't that's cool too.
