Another chance Book I - Y/N

Chapter 44: Cookies.

Izana brought you back to the cemetery where you first met, and as you dismounted his bike, preparing to say goodbye, he leaned forward, his voice a whisper in your ear. "You're really interesting.", he muttered before swiftly driving off, leaving you standing there, stunned with mixed emotions.

.

.

What the hell was that?!

'You're really interesting', huh?!

What does he mean?! How does he mean it?!

Oh god... .

You think overwhelmed, stills standing stunned at the same spot for minutes now.

While you stand there frozen in place you realize that you have to go home to bake the cookies for the other Toman members. It takes a few minutes for you to get home.

Deep in thoughts you walk into the kitchen to prepare the dough for the cookies. You're still thinking about Izana's earlier words that you don't notice Emma walking into the kitchen.

Emma, seeing your troubled expression, greets you happily. "Hey, Y/N. Didn't know you were home already."

You flinch slightly at her voice, shifting your attention to her. "Oh Emma, hi.", you mutter lowly, before your attention flows back to your thoughts and Izana.

Emma narrows her eyes, feeling that something is wrong. Then she remembers that you mentioned meeting someone earlier at breakfast. The way you looked worried is still in her mind.

Gathering her courage, she asks you carefully. "Is everything alright Y/N? You know that if something's troubling you, you can always talk to me, right?"

You freeze at her question, a slight smile appearing on your face before saying. "Everything's okay. Sorry for making you worried, Emma." Taking in a deep breath you try to stay calm before changing the subject swiftly back to the cookies.

Emma nods and helps you gather the ingredients and leaves the earlier topic for now. After you gathered everything you need, she leaves the kitchen to give you some space. "I'll be in my room now. So, if you need something Y/N, just call me, kay'?"

You nod happily before continuing your cookie dough.

Once again lost in thoughts, Mikey suddenly appears beside you and tries to snitch some cookie dough from your bowl.

You're startled by his sudden appearance and try to stop him. And because you were deep in thoughts, you almost dropped the bowl.

Reacting quickly, Mikey saves the bowl from falling. Relieved, yet frustrated you scold him annoyed. "Why did you do that! I nearly got a heart attack, idiot. Oh god, imagine the bowl would have dropped! The whole cookie dough would have been ruined! Please be more careful Mikey."

"Sorry. But it looked so delicious.", Mikey apologises sincerely while you continue your baking. You heave a sigh while he watches you calmly, observing you and your troubled expression in silence.

A few moments later the cookie dough is ready. You're relieved that everything worked out in the end while the cookies bake slowly in the oven. There's still some cookie dough on your face from earlier. Noticing that Mikey, grinning mischievously, steals a bit from the corner of your mouth before playfully licking his fingers.
