A/N: I took up a challenge on LJ for 25 Christmas pieces, and I am writing mine dedicated to SoraxKairi. I decided to post them here so you all can enjoy them too. I hope you will like them! Theme: Cookies
Baking
She had a way of making the most perfect sugar cookies that he could never duplicate, no matter how hard he tried. The boy would follow her handwritten instructions to the letter precisely, but no matter how well they turned out, they could never compare to the ones she made.
It always amused her to no end when he appeared at her doorstep, coated in snow with a pleading look on his face. He could see the way that her bright lavender-blue eyes would sparkle with hilarity before ushering him in out of the cold. After hanging up his coat, he would follow her eagerly into the kitchen where she got to work at once, assembling the ingredients and her tools, then pulling her fiery locks back into a ponytail. He would sit on a stool at the counter, his sky colored orbs watching in fascination as she worked and chatted with him in her usual cheerful manner. As was tradition he would try to sneak a taste of the dough and she would smack at him with a wooden spoon, which he always dodged. But she would then give in, taking a morsel out and presenting it to him with a laugh.
In no time at all the smell of warm sugar would flood the kitchen and she would slide the first tray out and carefully set the cookies on the cooling racks. He would then proceed to frost them- something it seemed was impossible for even him to mess up. After all the cookies were finished, they would take a plate and glasses of milk to the couch to watch a show or the snow falling.
He always savored the first bite, aware of her watching him as he did so. The sweet taste on his tongue was heavenly, and he closed his eyes to savor the moment, hearing her giggle.
"My cookies aren't that good, Sora."
"Course they are," he would tell her. "They're just like you."
