Sugar Cookie

55

"Should we also make a dessert?" You look over at the other managers in the kitchen.

Kiyoko smiled. "I think we should. They deserve an extra reward after working so hard."

You nod, gathering ingredients to bake cookies. "I'll take care of baking the cookies. The rest of you can do whatever you want."

They watched as you started making the cookie batter. You remained focus, knowing you've made these cookies many times before. You knew that Sugawara would recognize these cookies the moment he bites into one of them. After all, these are his favorite cookies.

Yukie looks over your shoulder, curiosity gleaming in her eyes. "Whatcha making?"

"Sugar cookies." You don't even look at her as you replied. You gave making these cookies all of your attention.

Yachi looked over at you. "I didn't know you could bake, Y/n-senpai."

You nod, still not looking away from what you were doing. "I've been baking since I was in middle school. It was suggested to me that I try baking, instead of cooking all of the time. According to Koushi, I make some of the best sweets that he's ever had."

Kiyoko grins. "Oh? So Sugawara has already had a taste of your desserts?"

"Yes. Though, it's been a few months since I last made a batch of cookies for him. I think he'd he happy when he tastes these. But I'm not really gonna pay attention. I'm just making food for everyone, there's no special meaning behind my actions. And I know what all of you are thinking. You can get those thoughts out of your head."

Kaori sighed. "Man, Y/n. You're an amazing girl. But why are you not being more excited about making stuff for the boy you agreed to marry?"

You stiffened. "I'm in a relationship with someone else for the time being, due to me losing a bet. I'm not gonna focus all my attention on Koushi until after I'm out of this relationship."

Kiyoko sighed, leaning up against a wall with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "I don't see why you're sticking with this bet. You obviously don't like Oikawa in the way that he wants you to. Just let him know you don't love him, and that you never will. It's clear as day that you have feelings for Sugawara. Don't try pushing those down. It'll hurt you when you're able to start dating him."

You pause what you're doing, looking over at the other manager. "Kiyoko, I don't expect you to understand my situation. It's true I don't like Oikawa, but I'm respecting the fact that he and I are in a relationship, whether I wanted to be in one or not. I'm not gonna act terribly to him just because I would much rather be in a relationship with Koushi. I'm trying to be fair. I lost a bet, so I need to live with the penalty. That's all there is to it."

Kaori shook her head. "Being in a relationship shouldn't be thought of as a penalty, especially not for losing a bet. If you don't like him, let him know before it's too late. He might try to make another bet to keep you with him even longer. Don't let this go on much longer. Be honest about your feelings. It might make you feel better."

You sigh, going back to baking. "I know. I plan on making sure Oikawa knows where my feelings lie. I just don't want him to try to desperately make me fall in love with him."

"How mature of you." Kiyoko smiled. "I trust you'll do the right thing at the right time."

You nod, no longer speaking with the other managers. You just wanted to focus on making these cookies without any more distractions. You continue on with the baking process, none of the other managers getting in your way.

Once the last batch of cookies was out of the oven, you placed them neatly on a large plate by the rest of the food. It would be easy for all of the guys to grab, and there should be plenty for everyone to have as much as they'd like. Some of the managers were already looking at the cookies, ready to take one to try right now.

You sigh, turning to them. "Fine. You each may have one cookie right now."

They cheered, quickly grabbing a cookie each. The smiles on their faces grew so wide the moment they tasted the sugar cookies.

Yukie hummed happily. "These are the best cookies I've ever had!"

You smile at her. "Thanks. Just, make sure to leave plenty for all of the guys. They earned this little treat."

They all nod at you. "Right."

Soon, all of the guys came into the cafeteria for dinner. You watched as they all looked at the cookies, their mouths watering. When you saw all of the guys of the training camp there, you raised your voice so they all could hear you.

"I made these sugar cookies for all of you, as a reward for all your hard work. Please enjoy."

You watched as these guys started fighting each other to make sure they each got a handful of cookies for themselves.

When Sugawara grabbed a few, he immediately bit into one and looked at you. "As always, these are my absolute favorites, Y/n."

You nod. "I know. Go ahead and enjoy your food, I'll be over there in a little."

He nodded and walked to the table where all the other Karasuno members were sitting. They all happily ate their food, enjoying the cookies most of all.
