A/N: I decided to put two stories in that chapter because they're pretty short.
Delicious / Doing Something Wild
"Finally!" Jay sighed of relief, "After six tries, I finally succeeded in baking brownies!"
He angrily slipped cooking gloves on, remembering the six other tries:
1. He forgot the chocolate.
2. He burnt them.
3. He replaced the milk by bleach.
4. The cat spat a hairball in the dough while he was away.
5. The dough mysteriously disappeared. Lloyd was the principal suspect because nobody ever let him taste the dough.
6. He threw the perfect brownies by the window, because he anticipated they would taste like crap.
Jay stared proudly at his cooking masterpiece. He glanced at the orange clock, it was almost six o'clock. He bolted out of the house, tugging a bag on his shoulder.
Somebody was standing on the porch and waited the few moments prudence required to make sure Jay was gone.
Cole strolled to the kitchen, eating the brownies with hungry eyes.
The plate was still fuming, but a brownie was took out of it anyways.
The leader hissed at the burning pastry touched his lips. It fell and crashed miserably.
Cole swept the floor, hoping Jay wouldn't notice if one was missing, and dumped the brownie and sat down to stare at the plate until it cooled.
Minutes passed. The brownies didn't seem to cool down.
They did, but Cole didn't want to eat them. Maybe because Jay would cut him in pieces and shove him in his next batch.
He eventually got up and gave the finger to the tempting brownies.

"I'm home…" Jay said mechanically as he took off his muddy shoes in the hallway.
His whole body stopped when he saw the lonely brownie left on the plate.
Foot steps approached the kitchen.
"Yeah…Sorry about that…"
Jay turned his head almost 360° to have eye contact with Cole.
Cole kept his yes down, desperately trying to wipe off the chocolate on his face.
"Did you eat my brownies?"
The answer was obvious, but Jay wanted Cole to admit he was guilty. He always found the leader way too perfect: his hair, his teeth, his manners…
He simply nodded. Jay squeezed his eyes shut:
"You barely left one! I'm the one who baked them, I'm the one who bought everything, I'm the one who had to try over and over! So, I'm the one who deserves to eat those brownies!"
He opened his eyes. Cole had vanished.
"You were saying something?" he asked, licking his fingers, sitting at the table.
"YOU ATE THE LAST ONE TOO!"
"Oops…"
Jay pulled Cole by the collar:
"I didn't even get to taste my own food!"
Cole raised a brow and stared at him directly. Probably provoking Jay.
"I'll kill you!" the brunette pulled his face closer. He breathed heavily with his mouth, something he did when he was angry.
That made the task easier for Cole. He only had to sit up slightly and…
Their lips locked. Cole pushed down Jay's shoulders, forcing him to sit down on the nearby chair as he rose from his seat. That maneuver was made to show he was the dominant one.
After pulling away, he justified by:
"See, you got to taste."
••••••(2nd Story)••••••
"Guys! Guys!"
Lloyd burst in the room waving around pink brochures. The ninjas stopped their game and scowled at Lloyd, the one ruining their perfect video game playing afternoon.
"A new milk-shake restaurant has opened!"
"Yay…We're going to be able to taste liquid cholesterol, what a blast…" Cole looked back at the screen.
"Does anyone want to go with me?" Lloyd asked, full of hope.
The ninjas shrugged and went back to their game.
The blond kid had a strategy to force the ninjas to come with him. He took a deep breath and squealed a long 'Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?' making his voice higher and higher.
The windows and screen started trembling, as Lloyd's voice pitched higher.
The ninjas smashed the controllers on the floor and shot the 'You win' look.
"Muahaha! I'm so evil!" Lloyd congratulated himself.

"Welcome to the Milk-Shake Factory, what would you like to order?" a bored teen asked. She looked punk with her black and red hair and piercings, but the effect faded with the pink and blue uniform she had to wear.
"I'd like a a triple whipped chocolate-cheese face sprinkled with frost!"
The teenager scribbled on a small note book whatever non-sense Lloyd was ordering. She gazed up at the others. They seemed even more bored than her. The spiked-hair one was even banging his head on the table and the black haired one had fell asleep.
Lloyd bit his lip and asked each one if this or that flavor suited them.
"Cole, chocolate?"
"Mr. President…it's an economical crisis…there are no more…spaghettis…" he mumbled.
"I'll take that as a yes…"

"I don't want strawberry! Strawberry's gay!" protested Kai, staring at the pink milk-shake.
"It suits your personality." snickered Lloyd.
"You have three seconds to take that back, or I'll turn your face in a punching ball."
"Sorry…" Lloyd paused, innocently looking at Kai, "For saying the truth."
Kai smacked Lloyd in the back of the head, causing him to choke on the weird mixture he was drinking.
Jay was lazily looking around the café, until he spotted a well-known short black haircut and red dress.
"HEY NYA!" he called, waving his hand in the air.
The woman froze. She swiftly walked to the table Jay was calling her. He could see she was wearing the same uniform than the teenager.
"What are you doing here? I thought you guys never went to those kind of places." Nya whispered.
"Lloyd convinced us. Want to come and sit?" Jay warmly smiled.
"It's against the policy but I'm on my break. Guess it's fine."
She sat down between Cole and her boyfriend. They started giving cute nicknames and holding hands and lots of other mush things.
Nobody cared, especially Cole who was staring at the girl at the opposite table. Her hair was dyed rainbow and formed long spikes.
She noticed and snapped:
"What's the matter, creepy dude? Never did anything wild?"
Cole raised an eyebrow. Jay had finished a make out session with Nya, making the most of the fact Kai was too busy pouring his strawberry milk-shake on Lloyd's head. Cole turned Jay's head so he could face him and planted a kiss on the brunette's lips.
The whole table and the spiked girl's table stared in awe as both boys proceeded to deepen the kiss. Even Kai and Lloyd had stopped fighting, just to watch.
Nya sadly watched the scene. In one kiss, they shared more affection than what Jay gave her the last few weeks.
Eventually, they pulled away to breath. Cole grabbed his chocolate milk-shake and dumped it on Jay, crushing the empty plastic container on the brunettes's head.
He flipped the table over. It crashed on the floor with a loud 'Bang!' and all the drinks were swept with it. He gave the middle finger to everyone in the café. He walked to the exit and smashed the glass door.
Cole turned one last time.
"Challenge completed." he replied to the girl.
