Two Pair

Prompt: Alchemy Secrets


Ipin chewed on one of her nails, painted a swirling blue and yellow by Kyoko the night before, as she watched the three teens seated at the island in front of her.

"So?" she drawled, glancing between them.

Lambo hummed, waving his fork a bit, "It's-"

"It's strange isn't it?" she insisted. "I tried to use Maman's recipe but I really am better at meals then baking-"

"He's trying to tell you it's good," Nozaru interrupted.

She came to a full stop. Then nervously, glanced between them again. "Really?"

"Yup!" Bluebell agreed, nodding. "Could I take some home to Byakuran? He would love this."

Lambo gave her a smile, something softer then she'd seen on his face in a long time, "It's great, nee-chan."

Ipin watched them for a moment, searching for any trace of a lie, before letting out a deep breathe, "I'm so glad. I thought I would poison someone."

"Well it's a good thing Maman taught you and not Bianchi," Lambo answered, rolling his eyes as he took another bite of the cake.
