Flashback (Patton's POV)

(Wow! No trigger warnings! Amazing!)

7 months ago

I put the finishing touches on the last of the cupcakes. An extra gummy snake for Deceit, another pinch of edible glitter for Logan, a few more pieces of sugar paper for Missy and Pranks.

"Salutations Patton," a voice yawned.

"Oh, good morning, Logan!" I chirped, hiding my slight blush. I cleared my throat and grabbed one of the space themed pastries, "You wanna cupcake?"

He seemed a bit taken back, "Um, thank you Patton, those look absolutely exquisite. May I ask what the occasion is?"

I giggled, "there's not really an occasion."

"Then why did you make them?" Logan asked.

I shrugged, "cause I wanted to?"

Logan nodded and peeled back the paper and took a bite. His eyes widened.

"Wow, Patton, this is... amazing." He said when he finished his bite, "I greatly enjoy the chocolate filled center."

"Aw, thanks Logan," I smiled.

Virgil walked into the kitchen, a heavy frown on his face. He plopped down in one of the chairs and hid his face in his arms, sighing.

"You okay, kiddo?" I asked.

"Princy stole my headphones again." The gloomy trait growled.

"I did not steal them!" Roman shouted, also walking into the kitchen, "I merely borrowed them-!"

"You took them off my bed-!"

"I only needed them for a moment-!"

"You could have asked first-!"

"Then you wouldn't have let me-!"

"Cause you have your own-!"

"I couldn't-"

"Guys!" I yelled.

They stopped their little shouting match and looked at me. I held up a Nightmare Before Christmas cupcake and a Disney cupcake.

"Now, no shouting or no cupcakes." I said.

I handed them their respective cupcakes. Roman immediately took a huge bite out of his, loving the gold sprinkle filling.

Virgil, however, licked all of the frosting off before eating the cake.

Roman nearly dropped his cupcake, "You monster! How DARE you defile a cupcake like that!"

"What? Does this annoy you, Princy?" Virgil smirked, taking his other cupcake and, once again, eating all the frosting first.

"You're a nightmare," Roman scoffed.

"Yeah, yeah," Virgil said.

I giggled. I wouldn't be surprised if they had matching soulmate tattoos. Speaking of which, soulmate week is only a month away! I have a feeling this year is going to be super exciting!

"Woah, Dad, you made cupcakes!" Pranks exclaimed, sliding into the kitchen.

"Hey there kiddo, what's the rush?" I asked.

The oldest kid laughed, "I pranked Missy and now he's kinda chasing me- ooh are those cupcakes!"

I smiled, picking up one decorated like a party popper, "Yep! Here you go, kiddo."

"PRANKS!"

Pranks jumped, grabbing the cupcake, "thanks Dad, gotta run!"

The teen vaulted over the table, nearly knocking over Logan's tea, and ran off. Seconds later, Missy stomped into the room soaking wet and covered in glitter and colourful feathers.

I couldn't help but laugh at him. It was just so funny! But I'll have to tell off Pranks later.

"Hey kiddo," I said, still laughing a little, "wanna cupcake?"

Missy grumbled, "sure."

I handed him his cupcake, also decorated like a party popper. He bit into it and his face lit up.

"Wow! Dad these are amazing!" He said.

"Thanks kiddo!" I laughed.

"Did Pranks have any?" Missy asked.

"Yep!" I replied, "he took one already."

"Can I bring him his other one?" The boy said slowly, a mischievous smirk crawling onto his face.

"Sure!" I said, handing it over.

"Thanks Dad!" He said, continuing his chase, going around the table where Logan, Virgil, and now Roman sat.

I laughed and shook my head. Two more people had to get their cupcakes. Imaj and Deceit.

Well speak of the devil and he shall appear! The pair walked in the kitchen, Imaj leading the way with a skip in his step.

"Hey kiddos!"

"Morning Dad!" Imaj said.

"Bad evening Patton..." Deceit whispered.

"Would you two like some cupcakes?" I asked.

Imaj nodded enthusiastically. I handed him a Steven Universe themed one and he squealed in delight.

"Do you want one Deceit?" I said, turning to face him.

He hesitated for a long time, seeming to debate with himself, before responding, "...N-no..."

I smiled brightly and handed him a greenish-yellow frosted cupcake with gummy snakes on it. He flashed a small smile and took a bite. His eyes widened in delight.

"These are disgusting! Absolutely awful!" He exclaimed.

It took me a moment to process what he was actually saying, but then it clicked.

"Oh... Oh! Thank you!" I giggled.

"Will you make cupcakes again?" Imaj asked, already on his second cupcake, even though Logan told him not to cause it would spoil his breakfast.

I shrugged, smiling, "Maybe."
