@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q nodded. "Yeah, Niki. It's your birthday, man. Dude is right." He said. It felt a little weird to agree with the guy from minecraft Mondays, but whatever. "I'm way better at cooking than I am at baking, anyways."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker He finished putting away the ingredients and began to wash the dishes in the sink. "And yeah, I'm gonna get you something. Something real."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q opened his mouth to protest, but shut ut once Techno agreed to helping as well. Okay. He smiled at Niki. "Thanks." He said. She really didn't have to.
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q looked at the mess and sighed. "Yeah, fine." He said. "I mean it's your birthday anyways." He began to pick up the various ingredients placed around the kitchen.
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q kept laughing a little, but a little taken aback by Technos jovial nature. He didn't really expect him to be like this outside of murdering people brutally in tournaments.
"I know. I'm a natural at this kinda thing." He said. "You gotta play into the joke."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Quackiry stood there for a moment, and then began to laugh himself. "Oh my god." He said. He had to save face somehow. "Uhhh.. that was a prank, actually. I got you!!"
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Quackitys face dropped, and looked at the cake. "Oh, shit." He said, taking a bite of his own. He spat it out immediately, a disgusted look on his face. "What the fuck."
At the bark to technos laugh, he felt his ears turn red from embarrassment. "Fuck, niki. I'm so sorry."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q looked at niki expectantly, hoping that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't as bad as he thought. He clasped his hands together. "So, uh- what do you think?" He asked
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker He smiled shyly though, happy that Niki was happy. The present was certainly better than his. He glanced at the cake. "Yeah... thus was supposed to be mine.. but." He scratched the back of his head. "I'll figure something else out."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Whatever. His old life was gone now. No need to dwell on it right now. He already did that before falling asleep every night.
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker He replied to Niki. "Uh, yeah! I'm just-" He glanced at techno. He really needed to get over it somehow. "I'm fine, don't worry. Happy birthday."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Whatever. He was just glad she was back now. He had at least someone. Dream disappeared too and schlatt- well, it was obvious which version of him mattered in that regard.
It stung.
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker He startled when the door opened.
No fucking way. Not the guy from minecraft Mondays.
Q instantly paled for a moment, his wings lowering and flattening against his back. "T-t- Technoblade." He said, sounding like the air was swept out of his lungs.
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Quackity smiled at Niki upon her arrival. "Yeah! It's me!" He said, a little nervous. "I- uh- It's your birthday, right? I'm not crazy, am I?" He said. "I mean- if it is, I made this for you- as a surprise.. though its kinda..." He looked at the cake. "Messed up."
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker After it cooled (he at least remembered frosting melted) he glossed the icing on, as fast as he could. He could hear her footsteps.
It was the thought that counted, right??
@ZG_OrphanKicker @NikiTheBaker Q hurried around the kitchen, quickly getting the ingredients together to make frosting for it, when he smelled something..
"Shit!" He yelled, grabbing the cake from the oven.
It was only /slightly/ burnt.
Why was he so /bad/ at this??
