Yuki nods along as Dave mixes the ingredients, stopping him once or twice because he was putting too much of the dry mixture into the wet at one time, but otherwise not interfering.

"Now we just need to put them in the oven and they'll be done! Then you've made your first batch of cupcakes!

[isur2ndprincess]

She nods, a determined look on her face, "I don't mind baking even if I'm not the best at it. I don't really like foods that are that sweet so it'll be one less person eating. I just want to make the others happy..." he voice trails off a bit.

At his wink she blushes a bright red, "Maybe just a little."

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki turns when she hears another voice in the kitchen, "Oh Koharu!" she smiles at her. Her Koharu is better at baking than she is, so maybe this Koharu is just as skilled!

"Are you planning on making something?"

[knightime]

Dave finally pulled his PDA so he could say something to Yuki.

we get to decorate them right???
i mean
shows and shit always show those fucking diabete inducing adorable cupcake designs
im just curious
i kind of want to make some specifically for my friends
is that weird???

Also, Yuki might get to see the curious blond staring at the oven as the cupcakes bake. He's surprisingly patient for his age though.

[shootingforpeace]

"Maybe!" Koharu hesitates and then opens the fridge a little wider so Yuki can see and perhaps help.

"Something to cancel out the cupcakes and things. Just finger foods. Maybe little sandwiches...?"

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki giggles softly at how into it he's getting, "We can decorate them if you would like, I'm sure your friends would appreciate custom cupcakes!"

[wakingsavior]

Dave's already gone by the time John comes in. Hilariously, John is actually trying to find Dave, and failing miserably. Because sending a text and saying 'dude we need to hang, park your butt someone and tell me where' is apparently overrated.

He stops when he sees Yuki baking, though. It sparks a series of memories that all lead back to-- nothing. Okay. So one of his missing memories apparently involves baking. And given how heartwarming and special baking scenes tend to be in movies both good and bad, he feels like he's probably forgetting something important.

It's kind of depressing, actually.

...yes, Yuki, there is a short, kind of gawky teenager standing in the doorway of the kitchen looking a little lost in thought.

[isur2ndprincess]

Oh that's a good idea! Yuki made a bunch of sweets that she won't really eat, so it would be nice to have something to nibble on during the sleepover. Yuki peers over her shoulder into the fridge, "We can make cucumber sandwiches, and there's probably lunch meat somewhere. I really like your idea, Koharu, a lot of people don't like sweets."

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki was just about to wash a cupcake tin so she could reuse it a little later when she notices John, seemingly lost in thought. She let's him stand there for about a minute before she speaks up.

"Hello?" a meek voice says from the kitchen. If John snaps out of it and looks at her he'll find that Yuki has decided her feet are very interesting right now.

[knightime]

Shit. She's probably giggling at him. Maybe he shouldn't have asked. Now he's a little embarrassed.

He settles down in one of the stools, so he can rest his chin on the counter. He's looking at Yuki most of the time, but it's near impossible to tell which way he's looking with his shades. He's sure John and Jade would appreciate the cupcakes.

[isur2ndprincess]

She didn't mean to embarrass him, she just thought it was nice that he wanted to make something nice for her friends. It also makes her decide that she should make something special for Sora and Koharu, even if they aren't her Sora and Koharu.

Yuki feels like he's watching her but isn't sure, so she takes extra measures to not be clumsy as she's cleaning the bowls again, "We just need to wait for them to cook and we can decorate them!"

[knightime]

Anything he does that ends up uncool is embarrassing. It's just how he is.

Dave glances at the oven. Waiting was a pain in the ass at times, but he guesses it isn't so bad. It's the first time he's baked anything ever. So he's willing to wait. Plus, he could decorate his cupcakes however he wants. He could do something phallic, but that would be terrible.

As tempting as it is.

But then he tilts his head curiously. What do you put on them???

[has_soothing_bells]

Reimi was minding her own business when she smelled food. Delicious food. She had to stop herself from drooling a little as she came up to the kitchen.

"W-what smells so good, if I may ask?"

[relentless_sentinel]

"Well, that was the plan, yes. I was thinkin' bout makin mah cookies. My siblings back home like em a lot, so I was thinkin they'd be perfect."

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki would be very embarrassed if Dave chose to make something phallic. It comes along with the general fear of males.

While the cupcakes bake, Yuki begins to make the icing, even pulling out some food dye so she could section off some icing and make different colors. If he wanted to make finer details she would put the icing in a bag and show him how to pipe it.

"What colors do you want?"

[isur2ndprincess]

"What kind of cookies?" she smiles a bit, "Did you have many siblings?"

[isur2ndprincess]

"Oh!" she turns to face the other girl, there is a bit of flour on her clothes and face, "I'm making cupcakes, some are already done though. Would you like one?"

[mrdickery]

"Hey, cooking's all about the heart. If you've put all you've got into it then there should be no complaints, right?" The comment is made lightly as he focuses on setting his fruit to dry before selecting a strawberry to chop up.

"Guess it's a good thing I picked parfaits." Of course, the fact that parfaits are light, hinted at with sweet, a healthy alternative and a female favorite wasn't considered when he was deciding at all.

[isur2ndprincess]

"Well... heart doesn't always make the food good," and she's speaking from experience, learning to bake wasn't the easiest thing, especially since it was all too sweet for her anyway and she didn't really taste anything to adjust it.

[mrdickery]

"Didn't say it made it taste good." Lord knows Yuri's got enough experience with heartfelt food and bad taste. "I just said there shouldn't be any complaints." His correction made, he tosses the a scoop of the complete assortment of fruit into the glasses and starts going for the yogurt, ready to spoon in some of that too.

Actually, thinking about Flynn? Sometimes Yuri would really prefer he'd leave his heart out of it and just follow the recipe. Then again, how many people did you meet in one lifetime whose cooking was that lethal?

[shootingforpeace]

"Well sweets are sort of traditional for parties like this. So it's no wonder people would go to making those first. Hmn, cucumber sandwiches. Let's see what meat and cheese there is and we can just make a big plate with a bunch of choices."

Koharu pulled out turkey, a bit of hamn and whatever cheese she found stashed in the fridge. She contemplates the fridge a little longer before snagging a thing of preserves.

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki nods, "That's true, there is nothing like food from a friend who tried very hard on your behalf." She just watches as he puts together the parfait, not having much to do since her cupcakes were in the oven.

[isur2ndprincess]

"It was smart to consider more nontraditional things as well. We should leave the construction of the sandwiches up to the guests though, they might want more of something or less of another."

Yuki felt a bit odd working with, or besides, Koharu. Things were a bit awkward between them, the difference between their worlds seemed much more severe than their own against Sora's.

[shootingforpeace]

"I suppose." She gazed at the sandwich things and snapped her finger.

"Well we need a tray. And a few types of bread. And maybe a little bowl to put some preserves in? Do we need condiments as well?" Koharu immediately starts bustling around this part of the kitchen, pulling out a tray.

[mrdickery]

A scoop of yogurt in each, thin layer of fruit, light sprinkle of sugar and repeat until he's at the top of each glass later, Yuri finishes off with a sprinkling of granola at the top and smirks as he caps off the yogurt container again. All that done, he quickly ducks down and goes digging through a drawer, finally coming back with two spoons... and a little martini umbrella for Yuki's.

The umbrella gets popped open with purposely dramatic flare and placed with exaggerated care into one of the parfaits before he carries it over, placing it before her and setting a spoon down next to it.

"Well, hopefully this is almost just as good as something made by one of your friends."
