Day #12: Baking / Cooking Together

Oz and Milo moved in together in this little flat above a bakery after finishing high school. The bakery had always been a bit run down, so it was no surprise when it closed two years after they moved in. However, Oz had a hard time letting it go.

So, using the fortune he's been saving up for centuries, he bought the bakery and started his own business. It was slow at first, purely being a passion project, but slowly his little bakery started to gain more popularity.

To support the new customers, Oz found himself waking up earlier than usual. He wasn't too bothered by it considering he has always been a morning person, however, a certain grim reaper couldn't be more upset.

Milo would avoid waking up early at all costs, considering they have always been a night owl. So, when their boyfriend started waking up at 6 AM to open up the bakery downstairs, they weren't too fond of the arrangement.

They missed their boyfriend and considering the couple both worked two jobs, the two barely had time for each other. The morning was the one guaranteed time they had to hang out, but that got stolen away by that bakery.

So, slowly but surely, Milo started to wake up earlier and earlier to hang out with their boyfriend. Oz was surprised at first considering he has never seen his partner wake up earlier than 11 AM before, but he wasn't exactly complaining about their company.

However, he doubted the reaper would follow him today. He had so many orders to get through that he had to wake up at 4 AM to complete them all. He quietly made his way downstairs after a quick breakfast and got to work.

He first had to make some cookie dough for the bakery, which he has renamed, 'Fearfully Delightful'. Milo actually came up with the name, which Oz immediately fell in love with. The memories of Milo and him throwing out name ideas late at night started flooding back, which made Oz's morning just a bit better.

After realizing he was going to need more dough than expected, Oz summoned some of their phobias to help out with the other tasks. Right when the fearling was getting into the zone, he heard a creak from the old, wooden floors upstairs.

He glanced over at his watch, realizing it was only 5:30, which caused the fearling to smile to himself before returning to work. Not a moment later, Milo walked down the stairs holding some coffee with way too much sweetener in it.

After setting said drink down, they hugged Oz from behind while watching him start cutting out some of the cookies, before whispering into his ear, "You're such a jerk..."

Oz laughed at the sleep-deprived enby before kissing the top of their head real quick before continuing to cut out the cookies.

"I'm sorry hun," Oz whispered, which led to Milo immediately relaxing at his voice. "I have so many orders today, I had to wake up early to just have a chance to get them done."

Milo didn't respond, they just nuzzled themself closer into Oz and left a couple of light kisses on his neck. Oz couldn't help but relax into his partner's embrace while working on his craft, nearly getting distracted if it wasn't for the daunting task ahead of him.

"What do you have to work on?" Milo asks after a moment of silence, and Oz takes a minute to recall his to-do list before responding.

"Well," Oz starts. "I have to make around four batches of sugar cookies for pick up, a couple of loaves of banana bread, five boxes of macarons, and I believe two cakes and pies... not to mention making sweets for walk-in customers."
