Rin was in the kitchen, cooking with Ukobach. He didn't quite understand why he was there, but he felt like eating something sweet.
He must be seeing too much of Amaimon.
Ukobach skillfully stirred the cake batter while Rin started to get the oven heated. They both decided that they would make a cake! After all, it was almost Halloween! Rin had to do something for Halloween since there is no trick or treating when you're in high school...
He also must have too much time on his hands to be doing this.
"Is the cake batter ready Ukobach?" Rin asked, breaking the silence. Ukobach nodded and held the cake batter bowl up so Rin would take it. Rin smiled and gladly took it, then placed it in the oven.
"Now, it says to cook it for... 25 to 30 minutes..." Rin put the timer on 28 minutes, making sure it was in the middle of the two numbers (sort of).
Ukobach was cleaning the kitchen up while Rin started thinking on how he would decorate it.
"Let's see... Halloween has pumpkins, black cats, the colors orange and black, ghosts, blood... How will I decorate this?" Rin mumbled out loud. Ukobach noticed something lying on the floor and turned to it. Ukobach widened it's eyes and looked to Rin, then back at the figure. Ukobach smirked when it realized what the figure was doing and continued it's work (I use "it" a lot...).
Rin started walking to where he placed all of the icing colors, but was stopped. He yelped when something grabbed his leg, causing him to fall face first on the floor.
Wait a second...
Rin sighed and got up, frowning. "What are you doing here Amaimon...?" Rin sighed.
Amaimon was still lying on the floor, sucking on a lollipop. He let go of Rin's ankle and sat up.
Why does this guy always have a lollipop in his mouth? He like, makes it appear out of nowhere! Rin asked himself.
Amaimon shrugged. "I don't know. I just decided to?" Amaimon said in his emotionless voice. He then stood up and faced Rin.
"Well, I'm kind of busy making a cake at the moment. So if you're looking for entertainment, you got the wrong person." Rin said and continued to proceed towards his icing.
"Nii-san has plenty of entertainment, so I'm not really searching for it. Anyways, what cake are you making?" Amaimon asked then decided to defy gravity by floating upside down and looking inside the stove.
Rin looked to what Amaimon was doing in jealousy. He wanted to float upside down...
"It's a Halloween cake since it's tomorrow and I felt the need to make something." Rin answered, no hostility in his voice whatsoever. He totally forgot that this was the demon Earth king. He just saw Amaimon as the older brother he never knew he had.
"What's Halloween?" Rin would've had an epic spit take if he was drinking something.
"You don't know what Halloween is?!" Amaimon shook his head no.
"Well... Halloween is where you... Go from house to house to pick up candy from random people and... It's full of scary stuff like zombies, blood, ghosts, and even skeletons! People also dress up in a costume." Rin explained with excitement.
"Costumes?" Amaimon said, a very small hint of excitement in his voice.
"Yes, costumes." Rin repeated and jumped when the timer went off. Amaimon went right side up and moved out of the way as Rin went to take the cake out of the oven.
After about an hour of talking about Halloween and cooking three other cakes, Rin and Amaimon started decorating.
"How do you want to do this?" Amaimon asked, holding the icing bottle he was given curiously. Three cakes were lain out in front of the 3, the largest one in front of Rin, the second largest in front of Amaimon, and the smallest one in front of Ukobach.
"I think we'll make the whole cake white, then add some pumpkins and ghosts on the bottom cake. On the second layer we'll do a design like blood is being splattered. You should know how to do that..." Rin said then turned to Ukobach. "Can you do the top cake by putting Happy Halloween on it and whatever design you feel fits best?" Rin asked. Ukobach nodded yes and started icing the top cake with white.
Amaimon and Rin started icing their cakes and then the designs.
"Ok, now we put the cakes on top of each other and then we're finished." Rin said proudly as he put his cake on a large platter. Amaimon carefully put his cake on top of Rin's, intending to make it perfect. Rin nodded to Amaimon with a smile, causing Amaimon to blush. Ukobach noticed this and was inwardly laughing.
Oh how oblivious the demon king was.
Ukobach placed the smallest cake on top and looked over the tall pastry.
It looked perfect! Sugary, well drawn designs, and the top design was perfect! This was a cake fit for eating!
Amaimon looked at the cake in wonder. Rin smiled cheekily and placed the cake in the largest cauldron. "Ukobach, I'm going to keep the cake in this ok? So don't use this for anything." Rin said and took off the apron he was wearing. Ukobach nodded again and went... Somewhere. Rin couldn't see where.
"You did good on your decoration Amaimon." Rin said as he too looked over the cake.
"Thank you... You did to." Amaimon said quietly, willing the thumping on his heart to go away. Why was this happening to him?!
Nii-san can't be right! He has to be wrong! Amaimon mentally screamed. Rin noticed Amaimion's frustration right away and looked to the king of Earth in concern.
"Hey, are you alright?" Rin said and placed a hand on Amaimon's shoulder.
Almost immediately, Amaimon violently shook away from Rin's hand. "Yes, I am fine. Thank you for letting me do this with you... It was... Fun." Amaimon said, hesitance in his voice. He had never really thanked someone before...
Rin blinked in confusion then stared at Amaimon. "Uh.. Yeah, sure." He said awkwardly.
Amaimon stared back at Rin, surprisingly a blush on his face. Before Rin even knew what was happening, Amaimon quickly went over to Rin and kissed him! On the lips!
Amaimon pulled away and left through the window. Rin gazed at where Amaimon used to be, wide eyed.
He... Kissed me?! Rin thought.
Strangely, Rin felt all tingly and jittery inside when he relived Amaimon's kiss.
And that, was his very first kiss.
Sorry for the sucky ending and short chapter, I just thought that was a good line to end it with
Well, it is slowly becoming and AmaimonXRin right? They are just now realizing their feelings for each other :D
