"Or we could make sweet sweet l-lemonade!" Damian put his apron on and felt quite unmanly, but Richard wasn't home and hopefully he wouldn't hear of this cooking escapade.
"I do like muffins, though. They are like humbled cupcakes. Unless you like cupcakes, then we could make those."
Damian leaned against the counter and waited for Raquel to make the first move on this cooking thing, as he had no idea what to do at all.

Raquel laughed as she pulled out a few things. "Muffin's sound good. What kind though? Chocolate chip? Blueberry? Banana Nut???" She sent him a sly look. She could have jsut found some muffin mix but making it from scratch would be much more fun... and messy...

"Blueberry, for the sake of the terrible puns you're pulling out."
Damian pecked her on the neck and looked about for any sign of a cookbook or something not electronic that might have a recipe in it, for the sake of being old-fashioned, but there was none. Either the wall unit or internet would have to suffice.

Raquel smiled, turning to the wall unit, and pressing a few buttons, pulling up what looked like a search engine. "I've watched you all use this thing enough... we can just search for a recipe and follow it step by step hm?" She smiled, typing something in on the screen before a few results were pulled up. she pressed on of them, pulling up a menu for blueberry muffins made from scratch. Raquel walked over to her bag on the counter and fished out her glasses, then bending down underneath the counter to retrieve a few bowls and pans.
"Here...." She set a muffin tin on the counter. "grease that up, and set the oven to about ...eh 400 ish?" She called to him, still digging her way into the pots and pans. "Then we can start adding in all the ingredients hm?" She finally emerged with a large mixing bowl.

"Grease it with what?"
Damian truly had no idea what Raquel was talking about, and suddenly felt very stupid in front of her. He was Damian Centurion, richest man in Veratia! And he couldn't grease a muffin pan.

Raquel laughed, standing on her tip toes to kiss his cheek sweetly. "Here..." She reached up for the cabinet above the oven, having to still balance on tip toe since she was so short. "Ah- There we go..." She pulled down the can of spray used for greasing baking goods. "I'd usually go for a more old school approach, like butter or even lard... My mistress learned to cook from her mother, who learned from her mother, and so on... so all sorts of older techniques that we dont use anymore I know how to do..." She smiled, slightly proud.
"But now... the fun part..." She handed Damian a measuring cup. "Here... measure out 2 cups of flower... and put it in the bowl..." She took the bag of flower, holding it open for him, but not without taking a little white powdery finger and tapping his nose. "Think you can handle that?" She asked with a playful smile.

Damian went cross-eyed trying to see what she had done to his nose, but retaliated by rubbing his against her little nose.
"There," he said, satisfied with the white powder on her skin. Measuring out flour wasn't so bad, until the little puffs of it coming from the bowl made him realize just how messy baking could be, and was, since already the counter was veiled by the stuff.
"Two cups. Did I do well, teacher?"

Raquel glanced over, smiling. "Mmhm. Very good... a little messy, but good." She smiled and cocked her head as she poured in the sugar with ease. "Let's see, what's next.... Ah, the blueberries... then we need to beat the eggs and milk and butter over here... you want to help with that?" She asked, smiling up at him as she stirred in some frozen blueberries she had found. She leaned up and kissed the spot right under his chin.

Damian kissed her lips before going to get the ingredients. He found that this was easy, but it wasn't until he had to mix them together that he was having trouble. He made everything look like it was thoroughly mixed, but he didn't know what else to do, or even if he did it right.
"Raquel, I did everything you said and the recipe said... so now we put these two things together? And make muffins?"
He offered her the bowl with what he'd done, and hoped it was alright.

Raquel looked into the smaller bowl he had, gently reaching her hand in to pluck out a little piece of eggshell. "Looks perfect!" she smiled, taking it from him, and pouring it into the bigger batch. "Now we jsut mix these together like you said...and I like ot add a little vanilla and Cinnamon.... She gave him a carefree, chipper smile, before adding the little extras. "And...don't laugh at me but..." She blew a kiss into the batch. "When I was a little girl, my mistress told me I had to put a little love into everything I cooked...said it made it taste better...sweeter if anything." She shrugged embarassed at the little quirk that had stayed with her since childhood.

That made him laugh a little bit. Damian blew a kiss into the batch as well, for double the love, and gave Raquel a kiss on the temple to make the baker filled with love as well.
"Do you think that really makes it taste better?" he asked as the muffin pan was brought back out. "We should experiment one day."

Raquel's cheeks turned pink as she smiled softly, pouring the mixture in to the muffin tin. "Hm maybe...but what a waste of muffins that'd be..." She smiled, glancing up to him. Just around that time, the oven went off. Raquel slipped the little pan of muffin mix into the oven before shutting the door. She then reached up on the oven and set the timer to call them when it was done.
"Now we simply wait." She turned to her flour covered, pink apron wearing baking assistant and just laughed. Damian standing there, looking as he did was just simply... cute/ She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "You did very well for your first time..." She sighed, hugging him and nuzzling her head under his chin.

"So I've been told." Even if he was covered in flour and baking soda, Damian wrapped his arms around Raquel to have her close. Baking was fun. Not that he would do it all the time, but it had been easy enough and he could get some bonding time in with Raquel. Who knew when school would make her completely busy and when he might become secluded to get business done so they could move. Times like these had to be enjoyed.

Raquel smiled, shaking your head. "You're an idiot...but we're both terrible...we've been able to turn everything into a sex joke... I kinda like it..." She joked, giving him a wink as she hugged him tightly.

"Well I can stop if you don't think it's funny." Damian shrugged. "But those muffins already smell good, and I can't think of a thing to say about that. What should we make next?"
