Tumblr: Baking on a rainy day

The Cake Project
"This is going to end horribly," Natasha predicted in a pessimistic tone as she knelt down next to Steve, who was sitting in front of the oven, staring at the cake pan inside. Rain was pattering against the kitchen window, making it rather uncomfortable outside, but in the kitchen, it was nicely warm and cosy.
"Oh come on, that sounds as if you don't trust me at all," Steve protested, looking at her with wide eyes.
Natasha smirked, slinging one arm around his broad shoulders as she answered: "Well, I do trust you, Rogers, but I don't trust your baking abilities. I don't get why we couldn't just buy a cake for Clint. He wouldn't even notice. If this one goes wrong, he'll definitely notice."
"I'll surely manage something as simple as a birthday cake, Romanoff."
She cocked an eyebrow, a slightly smug expression on her face, but before she could say something, the alarm of her phone went off, signalling that the cake was supposed to be ready. Looking excited, Steve grabbed a pair of oven cloth and pulled the cake out, inspecting it with a critical eye after setting the pan onto the counter.
"Looks good, doesn't it?" He asked, tapping his finger onto the cake. "Sounds good, too."
"I never doubted you." Natasha winked, and Steve chuckled, pulling her into a tight embrace and while pressing her against his chest, he started to tickle her.
"Of course you didn't!" he exclaimed in an amused tone while Natasha tried to free herself, laughing and gasping for air.
