[ She is... wtf is wrong with this girl. Now he just sighs and pulls away, because he'd said it to try and lighten the mood but apparently that isn't happening. Instead he just makes his tea, putting in milk and sugar like England showed him too. ]
[ He never said it was bad?!?!? omg... He tenses up slightly when he feels her behind him, but doesn't move until the tea is ready. When he does though, he pushes down lately on the top of her head. ]
I said you don't have to change anything.
[ He definitely doesn't sound like he's joking now though :( stop athena. ]
Do you have your water still? We'll take everything to the couch.
I'll bring them in. [ He does give her a small smile, at least, before he turns to get those. He actually brings out two plates, not just the one, but he's careful when he brings the knife out. He even keeps the cover on it when he puts it on the coffee table. ]
[ once she's settled on the couch, she takes out the box of cake and opens it so he can see what it looks like. then she takes out the present she got for him. ]
Do you want to open the present first, or do you want to eat the cake first?
[ alrighty! using the side of the fork, she cuts a small piece. its texture is more like a cheesecake than an actual cake with flour though. and it's super cold and sweet. ]
Well, eat up.
[ she's actually going to be gentle when she feeds him this time. ]
[ He waits patiently as she cuts a little, and twists enough so it's easy enough for her to feed him the piece. He moves slowly when she holds it out, eyes closing as his mouth shuts around the fork. He moves back slowly, chocolate getting on his lips from how slowly he does it.
When he pulls away he chews slowly, eyes opening just enough to peek at her. ]
[ well, if anything brought back the loud and cheery athena, it was that. she looks absolutely thrilled that he likes the cake. it's her first time making (not baking) a cake, after all! ]
[ Well, this is Much Better. Praise the lord. He smiles at her when she practically yells out, buzzes a bit because of it. Instead of replying directly though he reaches out to cup her cheek and leans in to kiss her. ]
Have a taste. [ ??? From his mouth apparently... sorry, Athena I'm thirsty. ]

You made this? [ It looks really good... either way. At least he doesn't sound surprised, just happy ;u; He isn't even thinking about the present. ]
Can we try it first?
no subject
[ she pulls the knife out to cut a thin slice, making sure a strawberry is included in the slice. ]
One of the guys from the cafe gave me the recipe. I hope you like it.
no subject
It looks good. ...Do you remember your promise?
[ He glances towards her then instead of the cake, though he isn't smiling and actually looks a little serious. ]
no subject
Which... one?

[ yeah, that does taste good. she hadn't tried the cake yet until now. it tastes even better when it comes from his mouth ah... ]
I'm-- I'm really glad you like it.
[ she's just embarrassed now jesus. ]
no subject
Can I have a little more?
[ He's just waiting for her to keep feeding him now ah. ]
no subject
[ thanks, she's freaking out now. she grabs the plate, cuts a piece, and quickly shoves it in his mouth. ]
no subject
He almost chokes on the cake now, thanks gurl :( ]
