After a series of successful arena battles, the Vault Hunters decided to go with Gaige's suggestion and settle for some homemade sweets by yours truly. Though the thought of the unstable high school runaway making cupcakes and hot chocolate was discouraging, but it's snowing and cold as Hell.

"Stop making stupid faces when a cute girl just made cupcakes and hot chocolate. Damn it people, it's not piss and nachos." Gaige tells everyone, while handing out plates and cups.

"Well, much appreciated, Gaige, it's just that... it's... uh..." Axton says, carefully inspecting the purple cupcake.

"What Stud muffin?" she asked, somewhat pouty.

"It's purple. I mean glowing purple. Radiation." Maya interjects.

"But purple is my favorite color." Gaige defends her cooking.

"Uh...Eridium purple." Maya continues to engage.

"Isn't that what you Sirens eat or stick up your butt or something to get your powers?" Gaige asks, passing out the rest, but discovers that Salvador and Krieg already disappeared, leaving their portions to Zer0, but taking the hot chocolate along with them.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that and not phaselock your mouth." Maya says under her breath, but continues to watch the cupcake with displeasure.

Everyone looks over to see their other companion who was strangely quiet even though it's in his nature. Zer0 also inspects the treat then smashes it into where his mouth would be. He then looks over to the others and gives a thumbs up with a :9 on his faceplate.

"At least Zer0 tries!" Gaige yells, pointing at the assassin.

"Then have ours too, Zer0." said Maya.

Maya and Axton walk over to him and smoosh their cupcakes into his face. They did enjoy the hot chocolate though.

"Fuck My Life!" Gaige screams, making the others laugh.

FML appeared on Zer0's helmet just as she said that.

"My thoughts exactly." Gaige tells him as the other two left the building.

"My sight has vanished/Someone quickly eat my face/My world is purple"

Zer0 sat motionless, expecting Gaige to do the deed and she obliged. Using her hand to scrape the frosting off his helmet.

"Better?" Gaige asks, wiping her hand with a napkin.

Zer0 places a small dollop of purple icing on his helmet

Zer0 - :I

"Seriously? You're more cheesy than the guys back at school." Gaige tells him with her hands on her hips.

Zer0 - ):I

"What? Now you're angry!? Fine, geez, you better be jumping for joy you buttmunch, this does count as my first kiss. Damn it, now I sound cheesy. Then again, you're not really human, so that means this doesn't count, right? I'm right aren't I?" Gaige frustrates herself with her own words and finally plants a kiss where the dab of frosting was.

"Hmmm, that wasn't bad... and I'm talking about my cupcake." said Gaige, licking her lips while in deep thought about the...uh... taste.

Zer0 - :D

"Impressive."

"Shut up."
