It's Valentine's Day today and I wanted to surprise Miky. What perfect thing to do than bake something sweet?

I flipped through the cookbook until I saw some simple vanilla cupcakes. 'Perfect,' I thought. I looked at the ingredients.

Seems simple enough. How hard could baking cupcakes be?

This was a nightmare. Who knew you could burn the cupcake wrapper? I didn't think that was humanly possible but I somehow managed to do it. (tbh, this is me. I can't cook to save my life. My dad says I will burn the water)

I heard a knock on the door. I sighed as I put the failed cupcakes on the kitchen counter and I ran to the door.

"Hey Jeremy. I was walking past your house and I smelled smoke. Is everything okay?" I didn't want to tell him because the cupcakes were supposed to be a surprise for him.

"Oh yeah. Um, everything's fine. It was just, I um put out, I used my fireplace?" Great. That was smooth.

Michael raised an eyebrow. "Riiight. I'm just going to make my way in your house now." He gently pushed past me and walked into the kitchen. I heard him snicker. "You suck at baking, you know that right?"

"Shut up." Michael chuckled as he threw out the cupcakes. "Uh what are you doing?"

Michael smiled as he started to mix cake batter. "I'm helping you bake cupcakes, what does it look like I'm doing?"

He was basically doing all the cooking which I was fine with. I really did not wish to burn down the house today.

After 15 minutes the cupcakes were finally done. This time, they didn't smell burnt and they looked actually edible.

"And that's how you bake cupcakes Jeremy."

I gave him a playful glare. "Stop bragging." Michael picked up a cupcake and ate it. He smiled. His eyes sparkled and he looked so beautiful.

"Hmm. It's good. You want some?" I walked over and kissed him on the cheek. He rested his head on my shoulder. I took this opportunity to take a bit out of Michael's cupcakke.

"Hey!" I silenced him with a kiss. He chuckled. "Next time I'll cook."

"Okay."

This is legit my friendship with with one of my friends. They can cook really well and I can't
