[After his big fight on Day 111, Vanitas was taking the next day off to rest and recover his strength. At some point in the afternoon, he'd decided to lay down and catch a quick nap to help with the process.

That had been at around 4 o'clock. He'd never taken a nap for more than two hours at a time, so it seemed reasonable that he'd wake up well before dinner time.

Wrong. What he awoke to was total darkness instead of the setting sun, and a weird smell in the air. BECAUSE ONE OF HIS UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS IS A TOTAL JACKASS.]

[...So here we've got it. Vanitas staring at his palm on the screen, looking more than a little perplexed.]

Can someone tell me who's hand this is?

Comments

[occulthymns]

[Better than what she could come up with.]

You didn't burn them.

[showmeanguish]

Surprised?

[In response, he just picks up the package they came in off the counter with his free hand, and holds it up to her.]

Just followed the directions. Easy as pie. Or, cookies.

[Both of those make sense to him right now. And he'll be setting those flaming-hot pastries on the top of the oven now with only a little clang as he drops the pan the last two inches or so.]

[occulthymns]

[She'll take the package and read it over. Easy enough to make... but she can't even pronounce some of the ingredients.]

Don't touch any of those until they've cooled down.

[showmeanguish]

I think I know when they're cool enough to eat without you telling me.

[Says the person high off their ass. But he seems to have enough wit about himself to be sarcastic.

...Even if he probably would've tried to eat them without thinking akljf.]

[occulthymns]

Of course. [Can't be too careful! But she's giving him a hair ruffle anyway since she can get away with it right now.]

[showmeanguish]

[Yes she can. His motor functions are slower right now, meaning he doesn't try to stop that until it's well-under way.]

Hey, no. Cut it out.

[occulthymns]

[She giggles at him.]

Nope! You'll just have to deal with it.

[showmeanguish]

Public displays of affection are stupid. If people really cared about each other, they wouldn't rely on something anyone can fake.

[omg, Vanitas what're you even talking about.]

[occulthymns]

[It's funny because she kind of agrees with him....]

What brought those thoughts on...?

[showmeanguish]

[He makes a vague gesture at all of her.] That. What you just did.

[occulthymns]

That? That was nothing. You're being too serious.

[showmeanguish]

Oh no, I've believed that before. And all it got me was you trying to put moves on me.

[occulthymns]

I'm not going to do that again, you know.

[showmeanguish]

Good. 'Cause if you do, I'm not giving you any cookies.

[Speaking of which, he's getting really hungry now, and just goes ahead and pries one off the pan. It's still really hot, though, so there's a few seconds of him tossing it between his hands until it's cool enough to hold.]

[occulthymns]

[She holds back a snort, though she's grinning a little.]

How tragic.

[showmeanguish]

[HE IS SUPER SERIOUS RIGHT NOW EURI. super. serious.

And nomming on a chocolate chip. Watching you.]

[occulthymns]

[.... She can't stand it, he's getting another hair ruffle.]

Calm down.

[showmeanguish]

[HDUUUUUU--fine, he's eating all the cookies.]

I am calm.

[occulthymns]

You look way too serious. I'm not going to do anything, really! [She will be reaching for a cookie though.]

[showmeanguish]

[And he'll grab it before she can reach it!]

[occulthymns]

[She raises an eyebrow at him.]

Are you being fussy now?

[showmeanguish]

I'm not gonna let you push me around.

[To prove it, he's stuffing the cookie in his mouth.]

[occulthymns]

[So classy!!]

But I want a cookie.

[showmeanguish]

Make your own.

[occulthymns]

You're not going to eat all of those yourself.
