Cake And Kisses

Himiko was sleeping peacefully.

Empasis on was.

Himiko was standing in empty corridor. A figure leaning over their stomach was further down the corridor. Despite her better judgement, she approached it.

No... The figure was familiar. So.. So dreadfully similar.

"Tenko...."

She whipped her head around as a noise shattered her eyes behind her. She noticed the figure on the floor, almost wanting to puke.

"A-... Angie..."

Himiko bolted upright in her bed. "Hhhh.....hh...." Her palms and forehead were severely sweaty and her breath was shaky and worrisome.

She felt the heat coming off Tenko beside her. Seems like someone forgot to turn on the aircon. Himiko looked at the bed. There was only Tenko. This didn't really make her that worried though, because their was a light coming from the small kitchen area of their apartment.

She rolled herself out of bed, fearing to go back to sleep. She didn't even know if she could.

Angie was in the kitchen. She smiled as she saw the sleep deprived Himiko enter.

"Aha, glad you could come out!" Angie welcomed her. "But why aren't you asleep?"

"Couldnt sleep...." Himiko mumbled. Angie walked over, at first bouncy but then turning much more sincere. She held her arms out, waiting for Himiko.

The young mage ran into her arms, hugging the artist tightly.

After a long hug, they let go. "What are you even doing up so late? Whats the time even?"

"It is... precisely 3am! And I'm hungry." Angie replied.

"What are you eating?" Himiko asked.

"I might bake something..."

"Bake? I've always loved baking! Let me help!" Himiko enthusiastically begged. Angie laughed, agreeing.

Angie scrolled through phone recipes online with Himiko looking over their shoulder. "Maybe we should try brownies?" Himiko suggested. Angie agreed. Brownies sounded really good right now.

But apparently the two had run out of cocoa powder, even if none of them remember even using or touching it.

"Let's bake cookies then! " Angie suggested.

"We don't have any chocolate chips..." Himiko explained.

"Oh."

Himiko leant her hand over Angie shoulder and pointed to a cake recipe. "Whats lemon cake?"

"Dunno. Let's find out." Angie clicked the recipe, yawning. She also had eyebags. "It sounds so so good! Atua says we should bake it."

"I mean, if Atua says so..." Himiko looked netrual, even if she was excited about the cake.

They baked it, gathering up all the ingredients and making a mess of the counter. Himiko held her hands up to Angie showing all the mixture that had got on her hands during mixing.

"Are you sure I'm meant to mix with my hands? That's not really what the recipe says." Himiko stated, her hands covering in white caramel and soft lemon mix.

"Angie believes that cooking with your hands will channel Atua's strength into the mixture!" Angie replied, busting setting up the oven and constantly forgetting the heat coming from it and accidentally burning herself multiple times.

Himiko shrugged and continued mixing.

"Oh... That smells good!" Himiko opened the oven and pulled out the now cooked cake. Angie walked over, pausing her switch console to check the consistency of the cake and help Himiko with the icing. They were both very tired, and the eyebags only grew as they continued working. But they were happy

"What the heck are you guys doing..?" Tenko was standing in the doorway as Himiko and Angie sat on the bench eating cake.

"Cake. Have a try!" Angie insist. Tenko rubbed her eyes not fully awake still.

"What time is it?" Tenko glanced to the clock on the wall. "... 6.. You guys have been working for 2 hours.."

"Three actually" Himiko corrected her before instantly falling asleep.

"We were very lazy the first hour haha." Abgie explained, gesturing for Tenko to sit next to her.

Tenko sat, and ate a piece.

"This is so good, what the heck is it, i want more!"

Angiw laughed at her enthusiasm. "We can cook more later. I have a day off today."
