Big thanks to MionSnojkorn for giving me an idea for the tattoo Eyeball designed!The day before Ace and Eyeball's anniversary Y/N made sure that Ace wasn't home. She tricked him into driving into the city, and luckily their parents weren't home either, so nothing could get in the way of the plan she'd made with Eyeball.
The ingredients Y/N had chosen for the cake were already neatly lined up on the kitchen counter when he arrived, and they got started right away to make sure they would be done before Ace came back.
"So, did you finish the tattoo design?" Y/N asked.
Two days before Eyeball had shown her a first draft, but he hadn't been quite satisfied with it yet and said he'd work it over again.
"Yeah. I just hope he won't think it's too sappy..."
She snorted. "Ace is the epitome of sappiness, Rich. So if it's a little sappy that's all the better. Trust me, he'll love it."
Eyeball let out a deep breath and started stirring the dough as she cracked the eggs into it. "Thanks, Y/N. I really don't know what I'd do without you."
"Burn the kitchen down, probably."
"Yeah, that's for sure," Richie laughed.
An hour and a half later the cake was out of the oven, and after spreading the strawberry-raspberry-paste and adding a layer of molten chocolate on top, Y/N shoved it into the fridge.
"Let's hope the chocolate dries quickly so we can add the white chocolate heart on top... If it takes too long you'll just have to take the cake home like this and do it alone. Should be easy enough, even for you."
They used the time while they waited for the chocolate layer to harden to clean up the mess they'd made of the kitchen, and when that was done Y/N decided the chocolate was solid enough, as long as they were careful.
She took it upon herself to heat up the white chocolate until it melted, then she handed it over to Richie.
"Don't mess it up."
"You really know how the be encouraging, Princess..."
Everything went well, and in the end there was a big, easily recognisable, albeit a bit wonky, heart on the cake.
"Wonderful. I knew you could do it." Her face said she had been convinced of the exact opposite. "Now put it back in the fridge so it can dry a little before you take it home."
"I won't have to keep it in the fridge over night, though, right? Because—"
"No, Rich. I just want the chocolate to cool down faster. I know you'll have to hide it somewhere in your room."
Y/N watched from the window as Eyeball walked home with his cake. He had just disappeared from sight when Ace's car rolled into the driveway.
Phew. That was close.
But luckily he had come from the other direction than the one his boyfriend had left in, and was none the wiser.
"Why does it smell like strawberry cake in here?" he asked when he came into the kitchen, and Y/N shrugged.
"I don't smell anything. Did you get your stuff?"
"Yeah. And yes, I also got the book you wanted. That's what you really wanted to know, ain't it?"
