Day 26: Cooking/Baking

"Why am I on baking duty?" Asked Haru as he pulled out the flour from the top cabinet.

"Because you can't seem to break your habit of only cooking mackerel." Replied Rin.

"That's not…" Haru began but stopped. He grimaced as the kids giggled at him.

"Cheer up." Chuckled Rin, placing a swift kiss on his cheek. "You get to make strawberry shortcake."

"I want to help!" Cheered Kiyoko, her pigtails bouncing as she jumped up excitedly.

"Me too!" Agreed Hikaru, raising his hand up high.

Rin smiled at the energetic pair, taking note that Narume hadn't followed their lead. "You don't want to bake?" He asked her.

"No I want to help you make the ramen instead." She smiled up at him.

"Okay then, looks like we have our teams." Rin smiled at Haru.

"Alright then." Haru smiled back at him as he ruffled Hikaru's hair lightly. "Let's get to work then."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The Matsuoka-Nanase kitchen party had started off smoothly. Rin had his set up with Narume up on a a stool, stirring the pasta as it boiled while he chopped up the vegetables to the side. Meanwhile, Hikaru easily measured the ingredients for the cake while Haru tried to teach Kiyoko how to crack an egg.

However, after Kiyoko dropped three eggs on the kitchen floor, as well as bumping into Hikaru who then littered flour everywhere, they finally gave up and went to watch cartoons, planning to return to decorate the cake instead.

"Daddy?" Called Narume from her stool.

"Yes sweetheart?" He said as he mixed the vegetables all together in one bowl.

"Can I go watch cartoons with Kiyoko and Hikaru?"

"You don't want to help anymore?" He grinned.

"But I already helped a little…" She mused, rocking her ponytail back and forth.

Rin laughed. "Okay okay go have fun." He picked her up, kissing her hair once, before setting her down and taking off.

"Looks like our teams left us." Smirked Haru.

"Yeah." Chuckled Rin, as he stirred the vegetables in with the rest.

"I'm just happy I got to put the cake into the oven without another accident." Haru sighed, wrapping his arms around Rin's waist as he nuzzled into his neck. "Oh look now I have all this free time while I wait for it to bake."

"Oh?" Smirked Rin, as he reached for the lid, placing it tightly on the pot. "However will you spend your free time…" Rin mused as Haru began kissing the crook of his neck.

Haru turned Rin around, walking him until his back hit the wall. Rin smiled mischievously at his husband, threading a hand in his hair as he looked up at him. He craned his neck up, leaning down to lock their lips together.

Haru kissed him back eagerly, their lips moving softly as their tongues sought entrance into the other's. Haru's hands moved down Rin's chest, circling back around as he lifted his shirt up slightly, drawing circles on Rin's lower back with the tips of his fingers. Their lips parted for a second and Rin let out a slight moan, reaching down to tightly grip Haru's ass.

"Rin!" Gasped Haru, smacking him lightly. "What if the kids-"

"The kids won't- OH SHIT!" He shouted running over to quickly take the lid off of the overflowing pot. "God dammit." He muttered, stirring the ramen as it went back down. "This is why you shouldn't distract me while I'm cooking." He teased.

"I can't help it." Chuckled Haru. "You just look so handsome while doing it." He smiled, tugging at Rin's shirt sleeve.

"Flattery will get you nowhere." He smirked.

"Fine." Said Haru, raising his hands up in defense. He walked around Rin, stopping to pull himself up on the counter. "I'm going to sit right here and just watch you."

Rin smiled. "That's just even more of an invitation."

"Is it really?" Haru smiled, looking suggestively at him.

"Okay you know what I'll just leave the lid halfway, it shouldn't spill like that." He stammered. "Okay come here." He smiled, standing between Haru legs as he wrapped his arms around his waist. Haru quickly pulled Rin back to his mouth, kissing him hungrily as he dug his nails into Rin's shoulder blades. Rin knew they couldn't go past making out at the moment, but he could feel his self-control wavering the moment Haru wrapped his legs around him, pulling him closer.

"Shit." He thought to himself. Haru really knew how to drive him crazy. But no matter what he knew he'd have to wait to finish the rest until after dinner.
