Cupcakes, Friday 6/24, 2nd period

“It’s our last class today,” Stark said. “I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves. And your cupcakes. Even with the strange ingredients that kept appearing. Some of you enjoyed those more than others, I think.” Summer.

“This week I brought something from every week. All of the colors so far, and the rainbow ones. You can choose from all of it, if you like.”

He opened the first box in front of him. “For yellow I have lemons, and bananas, pineapple, yuzu, and,” Stark sighed a little, “ corn.”

He moved on to the second box. “For orange, oranges, orange soda, orange juice, carrots for carrot cake, mango, cantaloupe and for some reason still curry powder and sweet potatoes.”

“For white,” he said, opening the third box and hoping the garlic and onion weren’t there, “we have…onion and garlic.” He sighed and shook his head. “Unfortunately. I was hoping we wouldn’t. I was hoping for just other things. Like marshmallow that I forgot last time. And white chocolate, coconut, cream cheese, egg whites, macadamia nuts, and mayonnaise.”

“For pink we have…oh no. Why. We still have the Pepto Bismol. Even though it isn’t even food. And the shrimp. Of course we do. And the smoked salmon.”

“And there’s pink grapefruit, pink lemonade, dragon fruit, pink Starbursts," rose water and rose petals, pink cream soda from Canada, rhubarb, pink salt and pink peppercorns."

“I’m almost afraid to open the rainbow box,” he admitted. “In case there are new horrors contained within it. Maybe it will just be the rainbow trout? Which should not be combined with any other seafood. Or anything else.” Summer.

“I have candies again, rainbow candies. rainbow Nerds, and Skittles, M&M’s, rainbow sprinkles, and rainbow belts. Both of the rainbow cereals are in here. Food coloring, of course, and the rainbow carrots. And,” another sigh, “mixed vegetables. Again.”

“So many things to choose from. Please make good choices.” Yes, Stark was absolutely looking at Summer when he said that. He didn’t have high hopes but he had to try. “And have fun. I'll be making more rainbow ones. I liked the rainbow ones.”

Oh no, the consequences.

"Yeah, I noticed." Vi was very definitely thinking of Powder, back when she was still a grubby little toddler, and nothing else as she absently licked her thumb clean. Just older sibling instincts, that was all.

Because that was the defining characteristic of their relationship, yes. Very sisterly. Right.

Steph wasn't watching the smudge of icing disappear from Vi's thumb with any kind of fascination or anything as she said, somewhat dazedly, "Thanks for looking out for me, then."

Platonic gals who were pals, that was them.

"Any time," Vi said, swallowing heavily. Because of the icing, obviously.

Obviously. What other reason would there be?

Steph didn't even mean to make a big thing out of it. She just brought her own hand up to clean a few more smears of icing off of her own fingers. Slowly, but for no real reason.

None at all.

Just like there was no reason for Vi to have any incredibly vivid thoughts about anyone's fingers being in anyone's mouths.

She coughed and turned back to her ingredients. "So what are you making?"

No reason for Steph to clear her throat and wonder why it felt warm in here all of a sudden, either.

"Rainbow cupcakes, obviously, but I was thinking of --" Her brain was not in control of her mouth right now. "I don't know, maybe a pink Starburst one with rainbow Nerds on top?"

For sprinkles, she meant. That should be obvious, right?

It was completely obvious that's what Steph meant, it was all on Vi if she took it the wrong way.

"Yeah, that should work," she managed. "They'd probably melt if they were on the bottom."

"Probably," agreed Steph, spotting a small dab of icing on her finger and licking it off, and not at all taking that in a wrong way that prompted some very specific visuals of its own. (Why would she? Oh god.) "Might make an interesting flavor combination, though."

Re: Listen to Stark / Bake!

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-06-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Why would she, indeed?

"Yeah, I think so." Of course Vi was thinking a lot of things that she probably shouldn't so her judgement was suspect.

"Guess we'll find out, huh?" asked Steph with a slightly strained smile as she finally looked up at Vi.

Just... don't mind the way her cheeks were kind of flushed.

Vi would ignore Steph's cheeks if Steph ignore the way her eyes didn't leave Steph's mouth.

"Guess we will." At least when it came to the cupcakes, since anything else Vi was thinking about was clearly never happening.

Odds were good they were the same kinds of things Steph was also thinking about, which of course meant said things were definitely never happening. Right? In the meantime -- Steph was just going to swipe a piece of grapefruit and pop it into her mouth, smirking, then wink at Vi.

She should probably go back to working on her actual literal cupcakes before her mouth got her into any more trouble, huh?

Nope, not happening at all. Ever. Which was totally fine. Yes.

Given the way Vi was gripping the edge of the bench like that was the only thing keeping her from flinging herself at Steph, that may have been a good idea.
