birthday post because mun fuffing says so <3

[otaku_mk_ii]

There was a very cheerful Otacon in the fifth floor kitchen attempting to put together a cake. If anyone knew this Otacon well enough, that sentence alone would be utterly horrifying. The last time he had tried this was infamously known to his version of Philanthropy under the ominous name of the 'Silverburgh Birthday Incident

"What's cooking, doc?"

Pain likes to cook. He does it when he's bored or stressed. And so when he finds an Otacon in his kitchen, he can't help but be curious.

"Oh, hi." He remembered having talked to a Pain a while ago, but he wasn't sure whether or not this was the same one. "I was just trying to make a cake, that's all."

"What sort of cake~?"

He's looking for the recipe; you can freeform normal food however the hell you want, but baking--baking is different. Baking is science. You can't mess around with baking or it'll blow up in your face.

"Can I help?"

As much as EP likes explosions, he likes his Otacons not being blown up more. (Shutup it's perfectly normal to dote on pet scientists)

"Strawberry cake with vanilla frosting." He casually indicated an open cookbook a few feet away, still smiling.

And said explosions were always quite literal in Otacon's case. He could fo things with electronics never thought possible, but cooking...well, he had just never gotten the hang of that.

"...Good to know you're confident in my abilities." he said in a tone that was only half joking.

It was hard to associate Liquid's voice with anything but the thought well, looks like I'm about to die. His shoulders went rigid with shock upon realizing this one was right behind him.

"U-uh...I...uh...!"

"...Oh. Wonder if that's why the last one exploded... You don't seem the type to be some kind of cooking expert, y'know."

[Nosy Snake is nosy and is wondering what the Hell Otacon is trying to do. He doesn't trust the cooking of many, and the younger they are, he's noticed, the worse their cooking skills are.]

Otacon-?

[otaku_mk_ii]

"Hi, Snake." he said with a bright smile tossed over his shoulder. "What're you doing here?

[saltpeppered]

I was just about to ask you the same thing.

[otaku_mk_ii]

"...Making a cake. What's it look like?"

Because to poor, clueless Otacon, there was nothing wrong with that statement.
