The succulent scent wafted into Yuki's nostrils.
Something smells really good.
She walked into the kitchen to see Kaien Cross in his pink apron mid pirouette. On the counter was a tray of cupcakes arranged in the shape of a heart.
"What are you doing?" asked Yuki, curiously.
"Oh, nothing," he said dreamily as he began to wipe flour from the table, humming quietly to himself.
Yuki grabbed a beautiful chocolate-iced cupcake from the tray. She took a small bite and grimaced.
Hearing the crumbs fall to the floor, he spun around, his apron whipping behind him, causing flour to fly around the room. He flailed his arms wildly, tears streaming down his face as they descended into a pool of depression and pain.
"No! I can't give them to him now!" Kaien ran back to his office, his face in his hands.
The door swung open and Zero strode in.
"Why do you always barge in like that, GOD," Yuki said, annoyed.
"Where did you get that?" he asked, pointing to the cupcake in Yuki's hand.
She gestured to the tray on the counter.
"But they taste terrible," she said before she spat the pastry of Kaien's love into the sink.
"I heard that!" Kaien exclaimed distantly between sobs.
Zero retrieved a cupcake from the heart shaped display and DEVOURED IT WHOLE.
"You're right, it's godawful."
Kaien emerged from his office, his clothes drenched in his own salty tears.
"Okay, Yuki. I have decided to forgive you for the immense pain you have caused me so that we can remain a happy- WHAT?" He frantically looked toward the tray, now missing two cupcakes, and then to Zero's icing covered face. "Zero, what have you done?" He crumpled to the floor in a heap of misery.
"Zero, we should head out. Goodbye, Headmaster!" said Yuki, as they awkwardly backed out of the kitchen.
As they neared the exit, Yuki felt a hand grab her leg.
"Call me Father!"
