Taste Test (Kaminari Denki)

Kaminari Denki:

The cooling cake on the rack was the thing that had drawn his eyes to the kitchen in the first place. The dark-colored sweet tickling his nose with its sweet scent and almost asking him to take a bite and enjoy it.

Kaminari licked his lips as he rubbed his hands together, wanting to have a small piece before he went back and tried to do his homework once more. His blonde hair turned to the other male who was sitting in the living room.

"Yo Satou!" He called to the sugar-loving peer. "Can I steal a piece of your cake?"

Satou blinked, looking at the male with a curious look. "What cake?"

Kaminari laughed, pointing to the cake next to him. The most fluffy chocolate frosting covering the white cake underneath of it. It was simple... but it looked so tasty and Kaminari hadn't eaten since breakfast. He had forgotten his lunch money this morning... and unlucky him, none of his friends got food he liked for lunch... so he was practically starving now.

"The one right here, bro!" He called, pointing to the pastry once more.

Satou saw the cake resting on the counter, and shrugged. "It's no mine, so I can't give you permission."

Kaminari blinked, touching his chin with a hand. Who else aside from Satou would make a cake? And who would just leave it sitting here by itself in a dorm filled with twenty teens who would devour it in a heartbeat?

"Oh! There are you Denki!" A familiar voice called from the staircase. "I was just trying to find you."

Kaminari turned to see his cute little lover smiling brightly at him as they came down the steps from where the dorm rooms were located. He waved back at them, his own smile shining brightly. They came forward to him, giving him a short but sweet kiss on his cheek.

"Hey, babe," Kaminari spoke, kissing her nose back. "You were looking for me?"

They nodded happily, pointing to the cake he had been staring at for the last five minutes. Kaminari's eyes rose as the realization began to set in... and his stomach screamed at him to get out of theirs.

"Yes! I know you didn't get lunch today, so I made you a cake!" They reached into a cupboard above them both, taking out an empty plate. "Let me cut you a slice right now!"

Kaminari swallowed a lump into his throat, fearing for his life. There were a few unspoken rules in class 1-A: don't piss Bakugou off, if Midoriya goes into fan mode then let it run its course and so on. But by far the most agreed upon and known fact to everyone except for (Name) was to never try her cooking.

Many future candidates had... and all had nearly thrown up their guts afterward. And since no one wanted to break (Name)'s heart since they always seemed happy when they were baking. And so... everyone just politely declined or threw away their treats when they were not looking.

But right now... in front of them... Kaminari was holding a plate of their cake... made specifically for him. He smiled in a broken way, trying to think of a way out of this. But those eyes of his (Name) were making him want to give it a try.

How bad could it be? Maybe they could make cake correctly? Maybe it would be the best damn cake in the world! And besides... love conquers all right? That had to include food poisoning too, right?

"Well?" They smiled brightly. "Go on and give it a taste!"

Kaminari nodded slowly, darting a quick glance to see if Satou could somehow save him. But it seemed like upon hearing the cake was made by (Name), he ditched the living room to get away from possibly being dragged into having a slice too.

"O-of course... I'm sure it'll taste great, babe." Kaminari laughed awkwardly.

(Name) watched in awe as Kaminari put the cake in his mouth and chewed. He nodded to them, giving a thumbs up. And then... when they least expected it, he collapsed onto the ground.

Poor thing must have liked it so much he couldn't handle how tasty it was.
