Another day.

Another bullshit day.

Throwing your backpack over your shoulders and taking one last look at your outfit you head down the stairs to the kitchen where a small pink box waits for you, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion at the beautiful packaging.

What in the world?

Stepping over to the bar and plucking the card from the pink ribboned bow your lips fall into a soft pout, your heart beginning to ache with a familiar longing you've felt since childhood.

"Hey Honey, I wanted to have this delivered to you so you can start your day off well! It's your favorite! -Love Mom."

I ask her for one thing and she thinks we're best friends...

Setting the car down on the bar and pulling the pink ribbon from the box you raise your eyebrows at the small cupcake sitting inside of the box, the yellow cake and icing only causing a sour look to spread across your face.

....Pineapple...

.....I'm allergic to Pineapple.

Grabbing the box from the bar now fueled with agitation you almost throw the cupcake into the trash until you look outside at the tall boy standing at the bus stop, a small sigh escaping your lips.

Maybe Tae would like it...when does he ever get cake.

After putting on your combat boots you gently pick up the box containing the cupcake and take off out the front door of your house, a small tinge of warmth filling your aching heart when Taehyung turns and smiles at you.

At least someone can enjoy this cupcake.

"Goodmorning Y/N. What is that?"

Setting the box into Taehyung's hands after he sets his board down you gently pick it up and begin writing on the smooth white surface, a gentle smile on your face when you turn it so he can read it.

"It's a cupcake my mother got for me but it's a flavor I can't have, do you want it? It's pineapple."

The second Taehyung finishes reading the board his eyes light up and he tears into the box, his jaw lightly dropping at the still cold freshly made cupcake, little whines of excitement escaping his lips.

Aww...he's so cute...

Flashing a boxy smile in your direction before staring back down at the cupcake Taehyung takes a small taste of the icing, his shoulders slightly shimmying I'm excitement.

I've never seen someone so excited over a cupcake before?

Turning your body towards the road and shoving your hands into the pockets of your jeans you cut your eyes over to watch the boy happily eating his cupcake, a gentle grin pasted on your cheeks.

I'm happy that cupcake made him happy....

It's nice that my mother tried....but it's completely disingenuous....

Letting out a deep sigh when the rickety bus makes its way up the steep hill you hold Taehyung's board for him as he finishes the cupcake, his hands happily shoving into the pockets of his coat.

I hope it was good...

Once the bus pulls up to the both of you and the squeaky gears pull open the doors your cheeks tint a light shade of pink when Taehyung once again reaches out his hand offering it to you, his teddy bear brown eyes glinting with the morning sun.
