Chapter 11: Chocolate Delight

The page seemed to glare at Rin as it sat in his hands, waiting, watching for any mistake that the half demon would make. With a scowl of his own directed at the book that the page was located in, Rin placed it back on the counter and reached for his apron, slipping it on and tying a knot at his back.

Here I go.

Cake.

He had to make sure it was baked properly and all of the flavors melted together well. The recipe called for flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, eggs, milk, salt, powdered sugar, and fresh strawberries.

Piece of cake. I can do it, just follow the damn recipe.

"That shouldn't be too hard." Rin muttered to himself.

With resolve hardening in his gut, Rin reached up for a mixing bowl and got to work. The flour and sugar went into the bowl first, followed by the baking powder and salt. After making sure the ingredients were mixed together, Rin reach up for another mixing bowl, this one a bit smaller than the other. The other ingredients went into it; Milk, vanilla, and eggs. Rin reached for the whisk and started beating the wet ingredients together, making sure that it was well blended. The eggs and milk made the liquid a little frothy at the top. With a nod, Rin brought the bowl over to the dry ingredients and slowly poured it into the larger bowl. When half of the liquid in the bowl had emptied into the other, Rin stopped and whisked them together, blending them into a thick batter. The second half of the liquid then went in, and Rin whisked it for a few minutes until the batter was completely smooth, and a lot less thick then it had been at first. Bubbles began to pop up in different locations. With another nod of his head, Rin double checked that he'd put all the ingredients that needed.

Okay, I got this... I got this.

"Where the heck did I leave those baking pans?" Rin wondered to himself as he glanced around for the most important part of the baking process.

I thought I put them next to the book when I got them out of the cupboard... Where the hell could they have gone off too?

Rin's eyes scanned the area around him until finally the dull grey pans caught his eye. They were on the other side of the kitchen, well away from Rin's working area.

"How the heck did you get over there?" Rin walked over and snatched up the pans with one hand, before walking back to his cake batter.

Carefully, Rin greased one of the pans with butter and dusted it with white flour, turning the pan to make sure that it covered the bottom and sides of the pan. With that done, he tapped the excess flour into the trash can next to him. After that, Rin picked up the batter and slowly tipped it into the pan, making sure that the flow was even and that it didn't go past the line he'd drawn in his mind; Three quarters of the way full. Half of the batter was left in the bowl. Rin reached over for the cocoa powder and scooped some into the bowl, whisking it until the yellowish mixture turned brown.

He left that alone for a second to grease and flour the other pan, and then poured all the chocolate batter into that one.

"Next time I'm going to put them together and see how they bake... damn that sounds better than this idea... Next year..." Rin talked to himself, shaking his head. Why couldn't he have thought about it sooner?

Damn, I suck with cake ideas!

Leaving the batter to settle in the pans, Rin went to get the chocolate that was going to be drizzled on top of the cake after being melted on the stove. On second thought, Rin reached for the strawberries as well, and then headed back.

Within moments, the oven was opened, pans placed inside, then closed again with a pot of water set to boil on the stove.

Finally.

"Clean up time, wonder where Ukabach headed off to?" Rin asked himself as he places all the dirty dishes in the sink.

He could so help me with the dishes!

Fifteen minutes later, all the dishes were clean, and Rin was carefully pulling the two cakes out of the warm oven. "Hot!" Rin hissed as he slid them onto the cooling rack on top if the counter.

Now to wait for it to cool. The water had been left boiling for a while but he wasn't sure that he should melt the chocolate just yet...

With a grunt, Rin lowered the heat and headed back to that thrice damned recipe book. After a few flipped pages, Rin found the one he wanted and needed.

How to keep Chocolate from Solidifying:

Melted chocolate will not stay melted after it has cooled. Chocolate must be kept in motion and heated to stay in liquid form because there is no actual water content in chocolate. If you are looking to keep chocolate in a liquid form, you should buy or make a chocolate syrup .

Make your own Chocolate Syrup:

Add a liquid to your melted chocolate. This will help insure that there will be enough liquid in the chocolate to prevent it from crystallizing when the chocolate is cooled.

You can add water, oil (helps cut the chocolate flavor), or cream (for a thicker syrup).

"Which one should I use... water, oil, or cream...?" Rin mused out loud.

::Cream! Rin, use cream! And then you should put some in a bowl for me!:: Kuro popped out of nowhere, surprising Rin a little. He hadn't expected to see the little Cat Sidhe in the kitchen this early in the morning.

With a chuckle, Rin agreed. "Do you even know what I'm using it for?"

::No, but cream is the bestest ever! Except for Sake! Sake is better than cream!::

Rin laughed outright at that, then thought of something. "You know, I have a little bottle of rice sake saved up... but since you already said you wanted to drink cream..."

::Sake! Oh please Rin! Sake, sake, sake!::

"Alright, alright! You deserve a little treat on Valentine's Day too."

::Yay! Rin, you're amazing! And what's Valentine's Day?::

While the cakes cooled, Rin went upstairs to his and Yukio's room to get his uniform on. He'd gotten up extra early in order to make the cake and a few bento boxes for lunch that day. As quietly as Rin could, he slid into the room and grabbed his blazer, tie, and book bag before creeping out again. Yukio was still asleep and Rin didn't want to wake him up.

Surprised he's still sleeping...

With a shrug at that thought, Rin headed back down to the kitchen, passing a semi-drunk Kuro.

::This sake is amazing! Rin, you should try some!::

"Don't worry about me, Kuro. You enjoy your treat." Rin couldn't help but chuckle as Kuro nodded in agreement and stuck his face back into the bowl.

Walking over to counter, Rin stopped to place his things just inside the kitchen, then headed over to the sink. Quickly, Rin washed and dried his hands before going over to the stove. Quickly, he placed the chocolate in a glass bowl and placed that on top of the boiling water. A few minute passed and Rin saw the outer parts of the chocolate chunks were already melted. He reached for the spoon and stirred slowly.

Should I put extra chocolate syrup in a bottle just in case?

Another minute passed and Rin went over to the fridge to pull out the cream. He splashed a little into the bowl and stirred some more. Once it was all melted, Rin turned off the stove and turned back to the cakes.

First, Rin ran a knife along the pans, making sure that the cakes were free of the sides, then he placed a round plate on top and flipped the pan over. He did the same for the chocolate cake and waited a few minutes.

Hearing two small plomps, seconds apart from each other, Rin lifted the pans off.

It was time to decorate!

"Ryuji..." Rin started to say then a blush crossed his cheeks as Ryuji turned to look at him.

"Ya?"

"I... I made you something..." Rin stammered, suddenly feeling a little breathless as Ryuji smirked at him.

Damnit, he knows what that does to me!

Shacky knee's, and the inability to stand up straight without feeling like he was about to fall on his ass. How the heck could one smirk do that to Rin?

"What is it?" Ryuji asked, startling Rin out of his thoughts.

"Oh, I... um... it's a Valentine's Day present... I made you a cake..." Rin couldn't believe how hot his face was becoming.

I sound like a damn girl, don't I?

Ryuji raised an eyebrow, a smile playing at his lips. "Really? I've got one too, come on, I'll show you."

The way his words left those lips made Rin's heart start to pound, and his body to flush with need.

MA Start

Ryuji's eyes blazed with heat, just the look that he was sending Rin was making something raw flair up from his belly, and spread through his body. Like a wave, when it hit an obstacle, or a dead end; it reflected back, growing bigger and stronger with each passing second.

They had gone back to Rin's dormitory, to another part of the building. Rin was expecting it to be dusty and dirty but it seemed like someone had planned coming there ahead of time. Not even the trash can had had dust on it, from what Rin could see.

"Rin." The way Ryuji said his name, voice low, and rugged, made Rin shiver with need as he finally let himself lean forward towards the blaze of Ryuji's body. Their lips touched for a few moments before Ryuji slid his hands under Rin's shirt, slowly sliding up the shirt and leaving a burning trail wherever his hands touched. After a moment of Ryuji dominating Rin's mouth, he moved back, parting their lips for a few seconds. The words that left his mouth wafted softly across Rin's face. "You forgot the toping..."

"Did I? And here I thought it was perfect..." Rin murmured back before their lips were locked together again, both pairs of hands pulling and tugging at each other's articles of clothing. Buttons on shirts popped open, finally letting skin connect with skin. The touch was intoxicating and Rin couldn't help but moan as Ryuji slipped from his lips to trail kisses down his cheek, then jaw, and steadily made his way down and across his neck. There he stayed, tongue swirling, teeth locking, mouth sucking on the sensitive juncture where Rin's neck and shoulder joined.

"Ah..." Rin moaned, his eyes beginning to swim with pleasure. His hands moving of their own accord from Ryuji's back to his head, Rin fisted his hand in Ryuji's hair, not knowing whether to pull away from the torture or push closer. The attack on his neck increased, and Rin's breath hitched, then a groan left his lips. His body was hot, burning with want, with need.

"You're perfect." Ryuji's words once again whispered over Rin's flesh as the teens mouth moved steadily down Rin's chest, hands touching and tracing Rin's skin, a counterpoint to the tongue leaving a wet path up to Rin's neck before capturing his mouth again.

The tugging of his pants didn't register with Rin's brain for a moment, too caught up with the way his mouth was being ravished- Tongues fighting, teeth clashing, and heart beating faster than ever.

Intense.

It was intense.

Rin melted with the heat.

"Fuck..."The groan left as Ryuji's hand finally slipped into Rin pants and gripped his hips. His hand wandered, making Rin feel even hotter. "Ryu.."

"Perfect." Ryuji whispered again, hand withdrawing from Rin.

A small groan of loss left Rin mouth as he felt the warmth of that one hand leave his hip. Suddenly, a gasp escaped him and something warm and sticky was splashed onto his bare chest. He didn't know when, but the shirt he'd been wearing had disappeared. Eye's opening a bit more, Rin looked up at Ryuji who held the bottle of chocolate sauce Rin had made.

"Ryuji..?"

"A topping always need's a little chocolate."

Rin could hear the smirk in that rugged voice. With a quick glance down at his body, Rin could see the chocolate sauce he'd made earlier, over his chest. The trail began on his neck, descended in a zigzag pattern down his chest and leading down towards his right hip.

"Here, don't eat it yet." Ryuji's voice brought Rin's eyes up in a flash. Ryuji was holding up one of the cut up strawberries to Rin's lips and placing it between the half demon's teeth, and then his lips descended on Rin's mouth, one arm pushing him down fully on the bed. Rin felt Ryuji place his arms on either side of his torso, holding himself up, not letting their skin touch again.

Ryuji ignored the strawberry for the moment, and began nibbling on the corner of Rin's mouth, teeth and lips then moving to Rin's bottom lip, gently biting, and sucking.

The heat began to pool in Rin's lower body again as the pleasure began to build until it surpassed its previous levels.

"Ahh..."

"You taste good..." Ryuji chuckled, finally moving towards Rin's neck again, tongue slipping out and lapping up the trail of chocolate.

"It's the chocolate..." Rin groaned around the strawberry that was still stuck in his mouth. Luckily he hadn't accidently swallowed it yet.

If I choke on it, I'm gonna die of embarrassment.

"No... it only enhances your flavor." Ryuji replied, coming back up to kiss Rin, taking the strawberry with him and going back to the chocolate. Ryuji traced the chocolate with the strawberry, smearing some on the fruit before bringing it back to Rin's mouth and pushing it in. Rin chewed and swallowed, licking one side of his lips, feeling a bit of chocolate stuck there.

Dark eyes watched his tongue flicker out, before descending and claiming his mouth, while one hand was slowly drifting south, making Rin's brain short circuit with the pleasure.

Fuck...
