A/N: Domesticy fluffy cooking segment get.
I got super stuck for no reason on this chapter. All I had to do was talk about making cupcakes, but hey writers block is weird sometimes.
Guest: Hey man thanks! I really appreciate the help! I'll make sure to shout out if I need any more! Thank you!
Cner: I've answered this question in the authors note of chapter 9 so check that out if you want a full length answer but tldr; It's a cool ship and I understand why people like it, but Sukko owns my soul. I don't think I'll ever write a dedicated Diakko fic, but there are already plenty of those to go around so It's not that big of a loss.
DuwangChew: Sucy is super mega gay and loves her clumsy waifu. This is 100% canon. Thank you for the review friend!
A Potato: Hey friend! Yeah that's a pretty good assumption. Yuri!Sucy is basically just that, the super gay Sucy. She squeals just as much as you or me when that top tier gay shiet happens. Thank you for the kind words my friend!
I hope you enjoy this nice fluffy cooking chapter my friends!
"Settle down ladies!" Badcock called, taking her position at the front of the room. A hand rose to adjust her glasses as she glared at each young witch until they were silenced.
She cleared her throat, folding her arms behind her back. "Today you shall be evaluated on your ability to utilize tools and ingredients- magical and otherwise -in an efficient manner to create a dish within the time limit."
Picking up a stack of paper from her desk, Profesor Badcock maneuvered around each of the tables to hand them out. "You are to designate a dish from your textbook as today's goal; list the ingredients required and the implements you will be using. Only then may you begin."
As soon as the worksheet touched down on their desk, Akko got to work, frantically writing down the name and page of the most delicious thing she could find. The alchemist stood at her side, holding the book open to the correct page while looking around the classroom.
She met eyes with Lotte who gave her a kind smile as she filled the same role for Amanda, keeping the page from curling back. Over time, Sucy came to appreciate the girls' attempts to push her relationship with Akko. She certainly wasn't forging ahead of her own accord, and the little girl inside her head had resigned to simply fawn over her dearest.
"Okay Sucy!" The brunette spoke up. "Can you get a mortar, a nice big bowl, and uhh..." Akko paused, leaning over to reread the steps. "...A kiln plate. It doesn't have to be a big one."
Sucy smiled, letting the book fall shut. "Look at you, taking initiative." She hummed, placing a hand on the girl's head and thumbing gently.
Beaming brightly at her dearest's praise, Akko picked up the sheet and skipped up towards the front of the room; not even Badcock's scowl could dampen her shining smile.
It took a few moments of watching the brunette's retreating form before Sucy remembered the task she had been given, jolting from the hypnotic state she had fallen into.
The storeroom was a tad cramped, but Sucy- even with her recent tamer attitude -could easily create enough pressure to make the crowd part. She quickly found the things Akko had asked for, stacking the bowl on top of the kiln plate and putting the mortar and pestle inside.
There were a few more things on their table when she returned to it: flour, two purple eggs, what looked to be a jar full of teeth, milk from some sort of mammal, and many other small vials of powder.
As she waited for Akko to come back with more things, the alchemist carefully relegated their books to the floor as to give them more space to work. In the corner of the table she placed the kiln, making sure it was inactive and ready to be etched.
The brunette returned as Sucy was opening the bag of flour; in her arms she carried a cupcake pan, a pink brick of something, another smaller bowl, and a vial of white flowers.
"Speedy girl." Sucy commented, bring a hand to her chin in mock thought. "I could use a pack mule while making my potions."
She leaned forward a bit as Akko placed the bundle down carefully on the table, gently touching the girl's cheek. "You'd want to help me out wouldn't you?" Her half lidded eye bored deep into the brunette's, pulling a blush up from her heart.
"Well, of course but..." Akko trailed off, averting her eyes from the viper's smoldering gaze, a light tint of pink staining her face. She suddenly took a side step, picking up a measuring cup and the flour bag. "We need to get started on the cupcake mix!"
A giggle ripped forth from Sucy's throat. "You're cute." She squeezed her love tight, pressing a kiss to her cheek .
"Alright tell me what you need. We should have all the stuff right here." Enough time had been wasted on flirting, they needed to get down to business.
The first steps of the recipe called for the mixing of dry ingredients; flour, salt, and baking soda. On Akko's command, Sucy handed over one of the two vials, shaking the other rapidly. Crystallized dryad tears had the unfortunate property of sticking together in clumps when left to their own devices, but a forceful jostle was enough to rectify that.
When Akko had measured the approximate amount correctly, they traded vials, allowing the brunette to add a half teaspoon of the glittering blue crystals.
"Pass it here." The alchemist sugested, taking the large measuring cup and pulling out her wand. "I'll mix it while you do the next step."
As Akko cracked eggs and sliced butter into the bowl, Sucy twirled her wand around in circles, causing a small whirlpool to open up within the cup of powder and mix it thoroughly.
'Ahh...' The child in her head swooned, laying in the warmth of the sun. 'Cooking something side by side with your lover dearest...' Sucy could do little but agree, the domestic nature of it all brought back memories of her many dreams; married life, love, happiness. 'Some day...'
"Okay! Next we need to crush the pixie teeth." Akko announced, picking up the small stone pestle and mortar. "Pour me a few? I think the book said around twenty for a quarter cup. We need two."
Pixie teeth were a notoriously effective sweetener in the magical world, and the Pixies knew it, sometimes intentionally knocking their own teeth out to sell for extra cash. Sucy chuckled, remembering Akko's face when first introduced to the concept. "They grow back right?"
Five at a time, the brunette used her abnormal strength to crush the teeth into powder, shaking as much sugary dust as possible out of the little bowl and into the big one while Sucy stirred.
"It says till light and fluffy, is this fluffy?" The alchemist questioned, pulling Akko's head to press their cheeks together. It looked pretty fluffy, like a small dog or woodland creature but purple; the girl's decided that was good enough.
Next, with Sucy still stirring the bowl, Akko alternated between pouring the dry mix and splashing in milk, turning it from a fluffy paste into a viscous syrupy goo. This goo was quickly poured out into the cupcake tin and placed atop the kiln plate.
"Do you remember the right etching?" Sucy checked as Akko carefully dragged her wand around the magic circle. "You promised me something sweet, I don't want charcoal." She plonked her chin on Akko's shoulder wrapping her arms around the girl as they leaned over the table together.
"It'll be fiiiine!" The brunette reassured. "Just get out the smaller bowl for the icing." No one was reassured.
Though when all was said and done, much to the surprise of everyone around them, the girls had a plate of purple and white cupcakes.
"Very surprising Miss Kagari." Badcock raised an eyebrow, writing down their completion with a smirk and taking a cupcake for herself. "It seems Miss Manbavaran is a good influence on you. Well done ladies."
Successfully graded and left to their own devices, the girls each picked up a treat and brought it to the other's mouth.
"Mmm." Sucy hummed, chewing through the deliciousness and swallowing. "Sweet, just like you promised."
The brunette beamed at the praise, nodding before shoving another purple cupcake into her mouth.
"We certainly make a good team. Perhaps dinner can be a job for both of us."
That was a nice thought. Tonight's dream would be lovely indeed.
A/N: Gud feed eachother. Yes.
Another four days, more fluff.
I quite like it when you have other people commenting on how well our two lovebirds mesh. Maybe I'll incorporate that into the next chapter hmm.
Anyway my dear friends tell me how it was and I'll see you in a few days with more gay!
