Simple and Clean
Maybe some things really are that simple...
"Lesse... I need... Sugar, flour, eggs..." Sora's eyes trailed the words in the cookbook. "Huh... I can do this!"
He took out a bowl and dumped in the proper ingredients, stirring and beating it at the right times, following the recipe carefully. Once the batter looked right, he poured it into two baking pans, placed them in the oven, set the timer, and headed for his video games.
Half an hour later, the timer rang, and he rushed over. Sora opened the oven door, and his eyes widened. It looked exactly the same! Panicking, he checked the book to see if he did something wrong, but could find nothing. He ran a hand through his hair.
"Great... I ruined Kairi's cake..." he muttered, leaving.
A few hours later, his mother found the items on the counter and giggled. Trust Sora to forget to turn the oven on.
Imperfect Love
Their imperfections made them perfect for each other...
Roxas inhaled deeply, the smell of cookies drifting through the house. He sighed and headed for the kitchen, grinning widely.
"Hey, Xi~!" he called. Xion had oven mitts on, holding a tray of cookies. She gave him a smile, set the cookies down, and turned to him as she slipped off the mitts.
"Can I have one yet?" he begged. "Please?" Roxas had been asking ever since she had announced she would be making them when he arrived at her house. He clasped his hands together and looked at her pitifully. "Pweeeease?"
She giggled. "They're too hot, Roxas! Just wait a little longer, and you can."
He pouted childishly, crossing his arms. "Fine..." he grumbled.
As soon as he was out of sight, Xion opened a cabinet where the first batch of cookies sat. She grabbed one and took a bite, sighing in content.
