S3C Chapter 57: Just For Us

Let me first say: Happy (early) Valentine's Day. I had a bit of trouble writing this chapter, mixed with my self-imposed two week deadline for a chapter, and that led to me spending basically all afternoon until all the way until the morning to get this chapter finished. I'm sure there are mistakes I've made here and I'll fix them, but I literally hit publish on this chapter and immediately got off my computer to pass out. I hope you all enjoy it nonetheless. Thank you for reading.

Veronica POV

Veronica's eyes were staring straight forward, eyeing down the focus of her attention.

Her focus was broken by the sound of a quacking sound from the alarm she had set.

Veronica smiled as she stopped crouching down and stood up straight, opening the oven to take out the tray using the oven mitts she already had on.

She carefully set down the hot tray so she could let it all cool down.

She smiled at how the cookies she had carefully baked this morning, though before she could truly be satisfied, she needed to taste them to see if they tasted as well as they looked.

Veronica picked up one of the cookies, careful not to burn herself before taking a bite of it, fanning her mouth at the heat still given off by the cookie before her eyes lit up.

Veronica: Perfect!

She said as she pleasantly held one hand to her cheek while holding the rest of the cookie with her other hand.

(Y/N): Thank you, I try my best.

Veronica turned her head to see (Y/N) walking up while rubbing his eyes with a tired look.

Veronica giggled at his statement.

Veronica: Not you, but I am glad to see you are finally awake.

(Y/N): Tell me about it. I didn't expect to sleep in this late. Better yet, I'm surprised no one interrupted my sleep to wake me up for once.

Veronica: That is probably why you slept so long. Your body is trying to make up for all of that lost sleep.

She said with a smile as he raised an eyebrow.

(Y/N): Last I checked, you do your fair share of waking me up as well.

Veronica: Maybe, but I at least try to only do it when you sleep too late.

(Y/N): Which makes today quite the exception. You actually let me sleep in so it took whatever you're making in here to wake me up with that delicious smell.

Veronica shook her head with a smile.

Veronica: Well, you are just in time since what you could smell in my sleep was actually this tray of cookies. I spent all morning making sure it would be perfect.

(Y/N) walked up closer to see the cookies, causing his expression to grow hungrier.

(Y/N): They do look perfect.

Veronica: Give them a taste!

(Y/N): Don't mind if I do!

He said as he took one and nearly devoured it, but still savoring the flavor.

(Y/N): And the taste matches.

He said as he finished the cookie.

(Y/N): But why did you get up so early to do this today?
