Summary: Momo needs practice baking a cake for Shiro-chan's bday! <3 Kira can cook... so yay! Friendship bonding time!
Momo could hardly be seen through the scarf that covered half of her face or under the bags that she was holding front of her, but the soft little tune that she was humming could be heard by anyone who was around her. She truly was happy, even after she heard a random unseated shinigami call her ‘insane’ for humming to herself like that. It wouldn’t have been the first time that she had been referred to as ‘insane’ and it was just getting old now.
All she could do was repeat that ‘sticks and stones’ phrase in her mind and know that their words didn’t mean anything. Or try to convince herself that it didn’t mean anything. Soon - she hoped - it would be the least of her concerns and very far away. Another realm far away.
In the mean time, she had other things to be excited about it. Five days left until Hitsugaya-kun’s birthday and in that time she had to learn how to bake a cake from scratch without burning down half of Seireitei in the process. It had to be do-able, but she was extremely thankful that Kira-kun had offered his services to her in the cooking and baking department. Unfortunately, their baking session had to take place much later than planned, but better late than never. Life was just really hectic and constantly getting in the way.
Nothing was going to ruin Hitsugaya-kun’s birthday this year... partly because this cake was an apology as well. She felt terrible about holding in a secret of such magnitude to him, but it was for the best. She couldn’t go back on her word now, anyway. With a sigh, she shook off that thought and resumed the song that she was making up in her head as she walked toward the 3rd Division Administrative office.
She had to look between two bags in order to make sure she didn’t fall up the stairs and drop all the groceries. It was difficult, and she nearly dropped one of the bags, but after a few moments, she made it up safe and sound.
...And then she had to figure out a way to get into the door. Knocking wasn’t going to do the trick, so she released some of reiatsu as she said, “Kira-kun! It’s Hinamori~”
