Mizuki, Tsukasa and Nene busted the door open with Kanade behind them.
“What the hell happened..?” Nene comments, her expression amused.
You see, their dorm layout is quite simple. You walk in, a living room furnished with a full gray L shaped couch, glass coffee table and a thirty two inch TV on top of a white, sleek TV stand.
Behind the gray couch was their kitchen. Kitchen island, three bar stools, and a full working kitchen with not only a microwave and a toaster but even an oven.
So you get to see what happens there with your first glance of the house. For Kanade—it's her first impression.
What could be so shocking?
The mess.
Toya's hair was tied behind him, hands covered in flour.
Akito and An... They were a walking disaster. Their face had splatters of what seemed to be cake batter, as well as on their aprons. The same flour that coated Toya's hands also coated theirs, as well as some splatters of what looked like either flavoring or food coloring.
Either way, it was truly a sight to see.
“Oh.” Kanade mutters.
“It's not always like this—uh,” An spoke up as she walked towards the newcomers.
“What did you guys try to bake!?” Tsukasa yelped.
The three ‘bakers’ looked at eachother.
“A cake.” Akito finally decided to speak up, sighing loudly.
The story behind all this was, allegedly, Akito and An wanted to bake a cake for passing midterms. Was that odd? Yes, but it was ‘all because An got influenced by a tiktok.’
Toya joined midway, attempting to help even if the three of them did not know how to bake anything. An did the most, Akito only helping due to learning how to make pancakes.
It all ended in disaster, and that's how all this happened.
“How did you guys mess up so badly?” Nene asked, bending down to pick up a box thrown on the floor.
It was instant chocolate cake mix.
Ena looked towards Nene. “Yeah, exactly.”
“We used it, and added too much uh,” Akito started.
“We added too much baking powder...” Toya looked down.
“Oh god,” Kanade comments.
“You guys should've made something simpler! Like,” Tsukasa pondered. “Why don't we make brownies?”
“Yeah, that could work.” Nene added. “It's probably easier for you guys.”
So they went on with it!
A decent batch to share between eight of them should work.
They brought out new cake mix. It was the same chocolate flavour they messed up earlier. Then, olive oil, vanilla extract, which they also used, as well as fresh party chocolate chips.
“Toya, wash the bowls you guys used!” Tsukasa instructed. Toya nodded, going to do just that—one of the only things he can do correctly. They added the chocolate cake mix, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips to a freshly washed and dried large bowl.
Tsukasa then grabbed a stainless steel spoon to mix the batter until it is completely mixed.
Ena prepared an eight by eight baking dish and sprayed it with cooking spray, then added the batter Tsukasa mixed in. Flattening it out with a spoon, she handed it towards Akito to put inside the oven.
Nene's finger scrolled over her phone screen, checking the next step of the cake mix brownies.
“Bake the brownies at three hundred and fifty degrees for around twenty to twenty five minutes,” Her voice read out loud. “Then take them out. Leave them to cool completely before cutting for the easiest results...”
“Seems easy enough.” Akito spoke.
The oven let out a ding! after twenty five minutes.
An and Toya quickly walked towards the oven, opening it.
“Ah—holy shit that's hot!” An jerked after touching the baking dish.
“Why did you even do that?” Akito deadpanned. He then handed her oven mitts.
The warm scent of chocolate quickly took over the kitchen as An placed the baking dish on the counter.
“We should wait for it to cool down!” Tsukasa announced.
“Lower your volume...” His green-haired girlfriend mutters.
They sat around the couches, the scent still prominent as they waited for it to cool down.
The brownies were now room temperature. Kanade carried it over—struggling a little—to the kitchen island counter. Ena held the kitchen knife.
They cut the brownies into sixteen pieces, two brownies for each person. Tsukasa, as the malewife he is, prepared paper plates for each person.
He then brought two brownies onto each plate. They looked good, albeit a little wonky, but dense and rich. Some of the chocolate chips melted resulting in it's fudgy look.
Toya looked towards his brownies—right, he doesn't really like sweet food...
Ena looked towards him. Of course, as his partner's sister, she knows. “You know, you can add instant espresso powder or dark cocoa powder to make it less sweet.” She suggested.
“Ah, right. Thanks, Ena-san.” Toya thanked her as he stood up to grab his usual instant espresso powder.
Mizuki added a spoon of vanilla ice cream on top of her and Ena's brownies, topped with half a strawberry on each and more chocolate chips—which made it look absolutely delicious, and cute!
An added rum raisin ice cream on hers—as expected, glazed with the slightest bit of cinnamon powder.
Nene and Tsukasa decided to keep it simple and added whipped cream.
Akito and Kanade kept theirs plain.
“We should take a photo, guys!” Mizuki requests. The group takes a photo—the phone strategically held by Mizuki so the brownies would be visible in the background, as well as all the people who baked.
Mizuki took three pictures of them.
The Shinonome siblings looked towards the result.
“Wait, that actually looks decent.” Akito comments.
“Don't doubt the skills of the Akiyama Mizuki!” Mizuki boasted.
“You should send the pictures to the groupchat.” Ena suggested.
“Hold on,” She said, taking photos of all their brownies before letting them eat.
“Alright, itadakimasu~” Mizuki beamed as she took a swift bite.
“Happy birthday, Mizuki.” Ena and Kanade wished Mizuki before taking a bite.
Oh, right! That was the original plan...
The 27th of August is Mizuki's birthday.
They all wished Mizuki a happy birthday. She almost thought they had forgotten..!
“Happy birthday, Akiyama.” Akito ended off before they ate the brownies.
It tasted great. Everything tastes great with friends, right? Especially when it's one's birthday.
Anyhow, that was a fun experience. A random baking fail turned into baking, turning into a silent birthday celebration as they enjoyed eating, the group divided on the couch and the kitchen island stools.
