Kanaya opened the oven to pull the snickerdoodle cookies out, the timer had beeped. Rose, sitting across the room reading a book, eyed the kitchen mischievously. She had smelled the delicious cinnamon cookie smell when Kanaya had put them in.

Kanaya had taken to baking lately, and she knew that Rose loved to eat whatever she made. However, Kanaya tried to keep Rose from eating anything before it was completely done, which meant until these cookies cooled. Rose was always trying to sneak treats beneath Kanaya's notice, but she hadn't succeeded just yet.

Rose crept toward the kitchen, abandoning her book, and trying to avoid her girlfriend's keen stare. Kanaya was smart, and could detect other people just as Rose could. Rose darted into the kitchen, grabbed a cookie, and shoved it into her mouth all at once.

Kanaya whipped her head around with a shocked expression. "Rose!" She scolded. Rose was chuckling gently and felt no remorse about the stolen cookie. "What have I told you about my baked goods?" Kanaya said with a burning stare.

Rose burst into full-on laughter, and stumbled forward near Kanaya, chewing the delicious cookie. "It was just a joke, darling. I promise I won't do it again." Rose said after she had finished chewing, "I have accomplished my mission, and shall be content with the spoils."

Kanaya tried to stay angry with a serious stare, but her eyes softened quickly. She was unable to stay mad at someone so cute. And so close. Rose's face was mere inches from hers. Her eyes glanced down to Rose's lips, and Rose chuckled again.

"I saw that." Rose said with a smirk. Kanaya rolled her eyes and said, "You are forgiven. But I want a taste of that cookie." A mischievous smile played across her lips. "Oh?" Rose grinned fully now, leaning into Kanaya, whose back was pressing against the kitchen counter. "And in what way would that be possible?"

She pressed her smiling lips against Kanaya's, and wrapped her arms around her waist. "It's impossible to stay mad at you." Kanaya mumbled into the kiss. Rose grinned even wider, and deepened the kiss.

"...should I come back later...?" Dave said, standing in the doorway to the kitchen with an uncomfortable look. Kanaya and Rose jumped away from each other immediately, both flushing immensely. Dave started to laugh. "I just wanted some cookies." he started to move toward the oven. "Not so fast, buster." Kanaya swooped in front of her precious creations like a protective lusus.

Rose half-smiled at her girlfriend's stubbornness, and began laughing gently.

"Hey, Rose got one!" Dave pointed at the crumbs on his sister's face. He narrowed his eyes behind the shades.

"Well, she has perks. Get over it." Kanaya said, scooting back toward Rose. She snaked her arm around Rose's waist and they leaned their heads in close.

Dave walked away in defeat, muttering "Matesprits..." While shaking his head, albeit with a smile at Rose's obvious happiness.
