I'm glad to hear it. I looked up a few in online recipe books, and these claimed to be the "best ever". I don't know if they live up to such a claim, but I think they came out pretty well.
[Raidou's been in a good mood the last few days, finally coming around after the last mission. His downtime clothes are as dark as his school uniform, usually, plain black clothes but of course, still with his hat. The only time you'll ever catch him in brighter colors are when he's in his shrine clothes.]
Hi there. Long day? Hopefully that's a sigh of a good birthday.
[He's glad to see the guy in a good mood; a lot of people have been down since the shitty disneyland raid and the electric geckos. Bakugo's not in anything lighter than black, so he and Raidou match well enough in that department.
And yes, he notes the hat's still there. Bakugo doesn't think he's seen Raidou in anything but black or his uniform.]
Tch. People don't need to make a big fucking deal out of it.
[He slips in and hangs by the doorway, like his usual shadow of a self.]
Seems like we don't have much of a choice. I think this base is too small. Hard to keep news like to yourself.
[His has gotten out too. Raidou didn't want to make a big deal of it either, but it also feels nice. He never really celebrated it before - he's not even totally sure the date he knows as his birthday is actually correct.]
[Bakugo closes the door and heads back to his desk, taking a seat on the seat and generally leaving his room open for Raidou to wander around if he wants. The hero keeps his room neat and clean, though there are some clothes on his bed folded, but not put away yet.]
Nothing in this base said they had to pester me all fucking day.
[Though for someone griping about it, he'd done fuck all to stop it or slam the door in people's faces when they came by or dropped things off. Guess it's not the worst thing...
...he missed Raidou's? Dammit! He'll have to make it up to him later.]
Movies, restaurant, laser tag, taste tested a lot of food.
[Which includes the package of cookies he's not moving to the side of his desk top in invite for Raidou to share with him. Hey, it's why he asked him down here. Well... "asked" being the operative phrase.]
You used dark chocolate.
[The comment comes with a brife, but obvious thumbs up of approval.]
[Luckily for Bakugo, he has not missed Raidou's yet, coming up in short two weeks. But there is no way he's letting that out voluntarily when it already got dragged out of him elsewhere.
He smiles at the idea of all their friends dragging Bakugo this way and that around town. It even broadens a little when he gets that thumbs up from the other boy.]
Some recipes called for semi-sweet, some for milk, a few for dark. Figured I would try one of those. I wasn't sure I'd like it as much, but they came out well.
[Don't mind as he wanders over to grab one. Raidou has a real sweet tooth that he tries to not let on about, but with the more he starts baking, he won't be able to hide it too well.]
[Guess he's going to just have to hear it from someone... like what happened with him. What goes around comes around, you know that, right, Raidou? At least the blonde's not going to make a big deal out of it.
And yeah, there was a fair bit of dragging, though half of it was actually Bakugo taking one of them up on the offer and getting the hell outta dodge so others couldn't gang up and turn it into a fucking party on him.
Raidou's quiet company is appreciated more than Bakugo's going to say.]
Hn, are you suggesting you lucked out? [The explosive blonde's never been a fan of overly-sweet foods, outside of an uncommon treat. So Raidou's choice of dark chocolate amid the buttery spice and brown sugar is a nice contrast. Question is whether he did it on purpose for Bakugo.
Unfortunately, he already figured out Raidou has a sweet tooth; they cooked a cake together after all and he's seen the guy at two or three parties now. Bakugo gets up and pops open his mini fridge.] I've got water, juice, and tea.
[Take a pick.]
Laser tag's a shooting game where you eliminate opponents by hitting them with beams of light.
Maybe. Do you like these better than the other kinds?
[Because he had a feeling, but really, it would be good luck on his guess.]
Tea is good. Thank you. [Don't want to go overboard with the sweets. Now he's also trying to imagine how laser tag must work. Sounds intriguing, even if he's having a hard time picturing it.] I see... was it fun?
[But given what he said, yeah, he'd like the dark chocolate and bittersweet better than the other versions.
Bakugou pulls out a bottle of tea, glass because he likes the feeling compared to the plastic, then hands it over to Raidou. Thought about tossing it, buuut... Bakugou brings over a bottle of tea for himself.]
Yeah. I've done it a few times and each time, we left the other team a fucked-up mess.
Sounds like I'm going to have to make some more, then. [There, that lines up at least the next two baking projects. He doesn't have a lot of time to dedicate to it - what with missions, training, two jobs and studying - but he likes to when he can. It's relaxing.
Raidou considers this, nodding. Sure, maybe he hasn't been feeling too great about his skills since he arrived here, but there's one thing he's still confident on, and that's his aim.]
[Fair warning. He doesn't make a habit of snacking on sweets, saving them for occasional desserts or things like these. Raidou's not going to have much luck dumping three bags of varieties on Bakugo's doorstep. A sampler grab-bag would be the more ideal route.
But hell if he's going to stop Raidou from learning more about baking. Bakugo makes time to cook his own things as well.
The blonde arches a brow at the suggestion. He's had pair up requests, but this is a first time to ask for the opposing team. A smirk curves the corner of his lips.]

no subject
Date: 4/20/24 23:39 (UTC)Aka: appreciated. Bakugo opens the door a few seconds later, in black tank top and sweats and looking like he could use the rest.]
