The cakes-- one red velvet, and the other chocolate-- sat on the table, fresh from the oven and newly iced.
Kostya sat in the kitchen, batting away hands of stray life techs and enthusiastic mists until the two suns showed up. He was still half covered in flour, and hadn't yet bothered to take the apron off.

Cake!

For whatever reason Peyton hadn't actually thought cake would be a legitimate possibility. Not that Kostya wasn't a generous person, she was sure he was because their two mutual friends had told her as much, he just didn't know her that well yet. Why bake a cake for her? So when she had learned differently it had come as a rather touching shock.
"You're kind of really amazing," she announced as she walked into the kitchen, already practically drooling with the smell of chocolate cake filling the air. "You know that, right?" There was no sarcasm, no joking, just honest sincerity and a grateful smile. It had been a tough week, little things like this proved to be amazing pick-me-ups.
Stopping at the linen cupboard, the petite Sun pulled a clean towel from the folded stack and moved to offer it to him. "Here, for the flour."
The handsome hunter senpai invited her for cake sharing, how lucky she saw. She couldn't help but have fantasies of how the cakes would be, the tiny girl jumped and ran like a happy bird. Z, cake! I am gonna have some cakes! She announcement to her partner who had no idea why female creatures like sweet things so much, whatever.
The kitchen wasn't too hard to find, but she halted at the entrance, after seeing Peyton and the handsome senpai were quite intimated to each other. She stood there, eye rolling around and took a deep breathe. She politely knocked on the opened door and smiled sweetly. "Can I come in?" She asked, a step forward made her saw the cakes.
The moment she saw the cakes, she was fascinated. The white one with some red sprinkles on top looked so lovely while the dark brown one - omg - the subdued lustre on top of it was like demon. She just stared at them, though her conscious told her it was rude to do so. The amazing aroma lingering around the kitchen made her feel like she's in heaven.
Thank you for inviting, senpai!

"Is not too amazing," he warned, "still only maybe one step up from box mix. Not much good at baking."
Kostya didn't smile, but he did indulgently nod, pleased that Peyton approved of his efforts. Baking was a task he found pleasant, if difficult: replicating perfect desserts was easy in theory, but often more complicated, especially due to the fact that he had no basis of knowledge in food science.
"Thank you for cloth, but another cake is in oven, so am not done yet," he said, but accepted the hand-towel from Peyton anyway, wiping most of the flour off his face.
As shu entered, Kostya nodded once at her, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Of course. Did invite. One is being vanilla, other is chocolate. Can help self to however much you are vanting."
Another smile flashed as he took the towel to clean his face, and she gave the oven a curious glance. "Well I think it's pretty amazing. Not the cakes themselves, but that you're making them and handing them out." Granted, having never successfully made a cake herself, that was admittedly pretty impressive as well.
Shu's entrance pulled her attention, and she lifted a hand to wiggle her fingers at the girl in a small wave, though she wasn't sure she'd seen. The petite Death seemed to be rather enchanted by the cakes.
Glancing back at Kostya, she made a general gesture between Shu and the cakes she was staring at. "See, Shu think's it's amazing, too."

Though he wasn't an avid participant of Twitter, Milo was still very much a spectator and it was hard to miss mentions of cake. With an included location of possibly acquiring cake (that hopefully had no side effects or something). True, the tweet had seemed more directed at a selected few but being in a public forum, of sorts, the Sun took it as an open invitation to investigate. He was curious how well Kostantine baked and well, he - sadly, admittedly - didn't know a whole lot about the other guy besides a few random tidbits; like him being Russian, having a bad a** weapon, how he was often hanging out with America and some.. other guy named Obadiah to name a few.
So, this seemed the perfect chance for nakama bonding time. And well, cake was pretty awesome too. "Sup Cossak!" New nickname deployed, he greeted in his usual cheery tone once he was rounding into the kitchen in particular.
"Aa, 'ey Yellow," upon noticing the blonde also in the vicinity, "and hello girl I don't know ~" Oh man, she like looked like the cute girl character who was friends with the team and maybe became part of the team or like the small but powerful pink member of the team.

Sorry for lack of responses tomorrow, Wondercon and Easter ~
Kostya's voice woke the asian girl from her cake fantansy, her face might be a bit flushed slightly. She shyly said a thank you and walked towards the table, finally remembered to greet the Sun huntress.
"Hello Peyton." She smiled and nodded at her comment. "Yes Yesu~ They look wonderful and you are-a- yes amazing, just like Peyton said." She put her arms parallel in front of her chest and held her hands into fists to stress that. "Really really amazing." A second later, she realized how close she was with the hunter. The girl blushed immediately, stayed back slowly and lower her head to focus on the cakes. The cakes are good. She just need to look at the cakes. Z seemed to think that she wasn't embarrassed enough and added his own comment. She therefore lowered her head even lower. The petite girl couldn't deny the fact that she liked good looking people, especially those wear glasses, that's why she admired the Death Lead.
To her rescue, a super cheerful and maybe resounding voice broke in. A- cool > kdslfjsdlfkjdslkj shut up Z "H-Hello nice to meet you." She smiled, face still a bit red, thank you cheerful hunter, she whispered in her heart.
Just on time.
Z made a short pish, blaming Milo for ending the good show.
Calming down a bit, she made a request with hopefully watery eyes. "C-Can I take some pictures when they are all ready?" Smoothly spread frosting, not much fancy decoration but well raised with a very very pleasant scent. "Are they difficult to make? How long did you spend on each?" She flied questions like a chirpy bird, legs swinging purposelessly in midair because the chair was a bit high.

Hello Milo~

Cake was rare on the island. Too ******** rare. There simply weren't enough people interested in baking or in buying the raw or at least perishable ingredients needed to make one from scratch. He was never about to pass up on one.
When he arrived however, like a scavenger following the scent of a dying carcass there was already a positive SWARM of buzzards around his spoils. He made a sound of indignant irritation and headed over.
The smell was already driving him crazy.
"A man of your ******** word." he said, with a grin, though he did occasionally shoot uncertain looks at the potential food thieves.
Kostya nodded appreciatively. "Is nice words. Is....therapeutic?" he asked, unsure of the word, as it was one that Mimsy had introduced a long, long time ago. It didn't come up much in his thoughts.
"Also, greetings Milo. there is much cake to have! Another is in oven, so eat. Is good!"
When he turned to Shu, Kostya offered her a small smile, before growing concerned about how far down she was looking at the floor. He then cocked his head like a curious animal, "Is nice to be meeting you also, do not need to be being so shy. Is only allies here, da?"
At Rep's entrance, he offered the other man a nod. "Are not needing to stay to social, if desire, but am requesting to not take more than half cake. If fine, do not mind making more often, ingredients to get on leave very cheap and easy."

"Theraputic," she agreed, smiling. "Or cathartic." Either worked. Eyes wandering to the cakes again, she moved until she could lean against the table, arms folded across the top. "They smell delicious."
Milo's signature greeting was returned with a flashed grin before the smile slipped as Rep wandered in behind him. She'd known he would be there, but that didn't really dull her disappointment at seeing him.
Ah, but there were too many reasons smile. Good(mostly) company, and delicious cakes.
She'd wait for Kostya to finish up the ones he was working on, moving about the kitchen to locate plates and cutlery so she could place them, with napkins, on the table as well.
The girl was happy to know there are other hunters who like cake as much as she does, maybe they can secretly make a cake club to share what cakes they had had before and recommend tasty cakes to each other. What? I-It's possible. I mean, people love cakes won't be bad, right? She rolled her eyes upward while talking with Z, which might seem a bit weird from the others' eyes, but when there were cakes, who cared.
Please don't be that curious, Kostya. The Asian girl was somehow sad and relieved, they just met once at the Death Division meeting, so she wasn't surprised he didn't remember her at all. What?! No! Nooooooo, stop it Z! Z was having a good time teasing his little huntress. Z! That's rude!
Since the hunter didn't seem to remember her, she smiled. "Nice to meet you~ Allies? You mean friends?" Maybe he was too busy to notice her questions, so she gingerly asked again. "C-Can I take some pictures when they are all ready? Are they difficult to make? How long did you spend on each?" If it was easy to manage, maybe she could try it also, she paused after a series of question. "Ah. Thanks for inviting!> She gave a sweet smile with a happy little blush on cheeks.
Rep's appearance didn't surprise her but she was happy to meet him face to face. He was tall, but not taller than the two bears. Ah! He should be around the same height as Mimsy. "Hello Rep!" She waved to the Sun hunter, tip-toped to make herself look a bit taller, not knowing she might be regarded as one of the potential food thief. While waiting, she curiously looked around others, the one she knew and the one she yet to know more.
Cakes are delicious, if one doesn't look at them with a "drooly" face, that's very impolite.
