there was no reason to leave bed that day, not when it was too warm and comfy under the sheets. they had woken as the sun was setting, tired eyes and mumbled voices still heavy from sleep. the younger was still scrolling on his phone, reading tweets and following some accounts that didnt waste time posting about it with numerous heart emojis and exclamation points.

taehyung had his head on the other males shoulder, watching his phone too in comfortable silence. "i was suppose to film something today." he mumbled against jungkooks shoulder, looking away now that the bright light had started to bother his eyes. the boy was wearing some cologne, or it was the detergent he used to wash his clothes ⏤ either way it was a smell that taehyung could get drunk on.

"me too." jungkook said." we can film something." he shut his phone off, leaving it beside him on the bed while he leaned his head against the olders.

"i have no ideas though." jungkook said. it got harder each week trying to keep coming up with ideas, considering time never seemed to stop and the creativity needed to always continue.

taehyung grinned, sitting up and not caring the way jungkooks head fell off his and flopped onto the pillow. "and this is why you have me. im the brains of this friendship, and luckily i came prepared." he said, "now lets go." he nudged the youngers thigh to get him to move and follow him out of the bedroom.

"but im comfy." jungkook whined with a pout, but he followed the older nonetheless out of the room and out to the living room.

"we can bake." taehyung said as he bent down to dig through the duffel bag he brought. he stood up with a big smile and walked over to the kitchen island and set down the box. "youre kidding me right?" jungkook said, standing behind the older and raising an eyebrow.

the brunettes smile didnt falter, not as he started to open the easy bake oven box and take out the contents. jungkook sighed and disappeared down the hall again, just to grab some filming equipment and set it up across from where the two of them would sit. taehyung continued to pull everything from the box and read the little ingredient packets so theyd be ready when the time came.

"i thought you said we were getting baked." jungkook said, sitting back down beside the older, who simply shook his head. "no, i said we were baking." taehyung corrected him.

"this is a let down." jungkook said, picking up a pink plastic spatula.

"no its gonna be fun." taehyung assured, setting down the instructions and looking up at the camera and its little blinking light. "hi guys, welcome back to the continuing saga of me and masterchef journey." he spoke with ease, trying to focus on introducing the video while jungkook started touching everything.

he tore open one of the little packets and sniffed it, just for his eyes to widen and start to blink quicker than normal. "this does not smell okay. how old is this fucking easy bake?" jungkook pushed around the box and tried to find some expiration date for it.

"shut up dont say that." taehyung said.

"it smells like parmesan cheese." jungkook said. "we're suppose to be baking a cake."

"oh no." taehyung was trying to be serious, but he couldnt help but laugh and cover his mouth. "its fine, its gonna be okay."

"okay so whats first." jungkook said, looking around the rest of the packets and finding a little pink bowl to mix it all in. taehyung was reading the instructions and finding the first steps. "okay so mix packet one and two until it forms a paste." he said.

jungkook nodded, "okay so mix the parmesan with the powdered shit, got it." he tore off the corner for the second packet and pour both into the bowl. "and add 2 tablespoons of water. we need water." taehyung was about to stand, but jungkook waved him to sit back.

"this is a fun cake." jungkook said, going into the cabinet and grabbing the titos bottle. taehyung barely had the chance to object, not when jungkook unscrewed the bottle so quick and poured some into the little bowl.

"dude you didnt even measure it." taehyung smacked his arm.  "i want this to turn out good."

"its gonna be fine, i measured it with my eyes." jungkook sipped the bottle before setting it on the counter beside them. the vodka burned his throat but felt good. taehyung narrowed his eyes at him, in a playful way that had the younger smiling innocently. "get mixing kid." he said to jungkook, who saluted the boy and took the tiny spoon.

he began mixing the ingredients until it started to become more of paste. while it was working, jungkooks expression didnt falter away from one that looked like grimace. "thats a three day meth binge piss color." he said, peering into the bowl and judging the dark color of it.

"alright add some flour." taehyung ignored the others negativity and pushed over the packet of white powder for the ravenette to add. jungkook continued to do as he was told, mixing and adding things and watching at the stuff in the bowl turned into some sort of batter or dough.

"ill grease the little pans." taehyung smiled, thinking they were cute as they sat in the palm of his hand.

jungkook peered into the bowl and shook his head, "this feels wrong. this is not christian dough."

"shut up and pour it." taehyung sprayed the two pans and set them down for jungkook to pour their mixture into it. "yes sir masterchef sir." jungkook tilted the bowl and used the mini spoon to pour a decent amount into each pan.

taehyung smiled, still having hope in their little cake. "now it bakes for twelve minutes." he picked up the little pans and shoved one in until there was room for the second to follow in behind.

"it smells like burning plastic." jungkook said.

"i dare you to taste that." taehyung held up the bowl that still had some batter on the sides of it. he swiped some onto his finger and held it up to the youngers lips.

"i dont feel like dying from consuming 87 year old easy bake shit." jungkook tried to push the boys hand away, but taehyung was still grinning, soft little giggles coming out as he kept on trying to get jungkook to lick it off his finger.

jungkook held the boys wrist, knowing very well he was stronger and able to hold the other back. "youre so weird stop it." but he was smiling when he said it. taehyung wiped his finger on his bottom lip, feeling the little bit of batter sitting there, "wanna lick it now?" he knew he would get to the younger this way.

"uh." jungkook hesitated, considering it. this was evident in the way his eyes shifted down to the boys lips, not even seeing the dumb batter when all he wanted was underneath. "do you think of kissing all your friends?" taehyung asked now.

"stop that, youre not cute." jungkook shook his head, letting go of taehyungs wrist and throwing a napkin at him. he chuckled and checked his phone, seeing what time their cakes were at.

taehyung started to stick the plastic spatula inside the back to push the pan out the front of the easy bake oven. it only took a second for taehyung to make a questionable sound, drawing the attention of the younger beside him. it was the spatula that seemed to get stuck for a moment, taehyung yanking it around a bit to get it back out.

"theres that plastic smell again." jungkook said, grabbing the titos bottle again and taking a sip. "comment below if you wanna see me on fire."

"its fine i got it." taehyung said, pulling the spatula out and letting the cake pans fall out the front. "beautiful. "he smiled.

"youve said its fine many times today." jungkook said.

taehyung nodded and grabbed the two little pans, poking the tops to feel how soft they were and hoping they were good. "its my coping mechanism, just convincing myself things are fine when they really arent." he made jungkook laugh with that.

"okay thats dark." jungkook said, holding the bottle out with the sweetest smile, "this is my coping mechanism."

"and you called me dark." taehyung rolled his eyes and picked up the instructions again to find out how to make the icing for their cake. jungkook shrugged and started to knock out the cakes from their pans but turning them over onto the counter.

taehyung took out a little plate from his bag too, one that matched the pink of the oven with flowers around the edge. "all we gotta do is ice it now." he smiled, lining up the two layers so it could be finished up.

the younger let the other male do that part, watching as he spread the white icing around the edges and smoothly across the top. if that wasnt enough, taehyung also brought out some rainbow sprinkles to decorate the top of the mini cake as well.

"ta da!" taehyung picked up the cake and showed the camera better, looking pretty proud of himself and the way it turned out. "what do you think?" he asked the ravenette beside him.

"you dont need to tell anyone youre a bottom anymore, just show them this shit." jungkook said. 

taehyung giggled and put the plate back down onto the kitchen island surface. "come on lets taste it." taehyung said, taking the small knife and cutting the cake in half for them to share.

"can you put it on your lips again?" jungkook asked, trying to look innocent despite the little cheeky grin that kept wanting to show on his face. taehyung smacked him on the arm and glared playfully again at the younger. "ugh fine." jungkook took his share and held it up to eye level, judging the little sweet with a grimace on his face.

taehyun waited until jungkook took a bite, watching his features before taking a bite for himself. it couldnt have been that terrible, since jungkook actually swallowed. it was still far from good though, "i think i need to brush my teeth." he said, dropping the rest of it back onto the counter and wiping his palms on the sides of his jeans. "i hated that and you suck for making it."

"hey!" taehyung smacked jungkook again, "you mixed it." he was good at pointing fingers too.

jungkook smacked him back, not being one to lose whether it was a verbal or slightly physical fight. he kept it gentle though, mostly because he liked seeing taehyung giggle or scream when he couldnt get out of the youngers grip. it was almost like they werent filming a video, and they were just hanging out ⏤ and neither wanted it to end.
