AU 13/Day 4: Murasakibara knows the cake is a lie
(Alternatively: Himuro finds out Murasakibara's traumatic gaming experiences, namely, playing Portal, after Kuroko's suggestion. Fluffy MuraHimu, as I promised.)
Himuro Tatsuya never expected that playing video games could end up stopping without notice, leaving for the kitchen in an attempt to console a certain purple haired teammate, by preparing a cake for him, no less.
It all started an hour or so ago, when Atsushi had knocked on his door, and he invited the taller boy in, for their planned night of videogames.
"What are you playing, Muro-chin?" the giant had asked, and he proved to be foolish enough to answer.
"Portal, do you know it, Atsushi?"
The taller teenager's face seemed to get two shades paler. "Kuro-chin had suggested the game when we were in Teiko."
"Did you enjoy playing it?"
No response.
"Atsushi? Are you alright?"
"The cake."
Tatsuya was genuinely confused. "Eh? What cake."
"The cake!" Murasakibara yelled, trying to fight back tears.
The shorter seemed to understand what he meant.
The cake is a lie, huh.
Without a second thought, he dragged his guest to the kitchen.
"Muro-chin... What are we doing here?"
Himuro didn't reply, instead started his work. Sure, he couldn't rival Kagami when it came to cooking, but baking, well, it was something he was good at, which proved useful when situations like these arose.
"Are you making a cake? For me?"
"Well, this is real life. And you should know that, around here, the cake is definitely not a lie."
(Day 4: End)
Quick. Short. Sweet enough? I hope so. I included two headcannons I have about Himuro: One, he's really good when it comes to making sweets, contasting Kagami's cooking skills. Two, he's the kind of person that will play a game again if he enjoyed much the first time he did.
Kuroko indeed was the one behind Murasakibara playing Portal. It was mean of him, I know. But reminded that both me and Shadow like the idea of Kuroko being an evil little shit, so yeah.
