"Laura, the library keeps giving us everything that we really need. You don't have to keep experimenting with Cheeto recipes." Carmilla scoffs when she enters their little alcove turned living room.

"Awh, is the tough and scary vampire worried that I'll accidentally set the magical library on fire?" Laura asks teasingly.

"Why, no. The tough and scary vampire is worried that you will set yourself on fire." Carmilla says, picking Laura up by the waist and turning the camp-stove's burner down.

"You know what's really scary, Cupcake?" Carmilla asked, setting the human girl down on the chaise and smoothing a few fly-away strands down before dropping a kiss onto the crown of her head.

"What?" Laura asked, looking up at Carmilla with eyes that were no longer adoring but simply affectionate and loving. Carmilla had to admit that she preferred it this way.

"Everything that you cook. What's <em>really<em> scary is <em>everything<em> that you have ever cooked." Carmilla tickles Laura's sides gently before shoving herself away and throwing everything from the saucepan into the fire.

That was the only time that the vampire ever received a cupcake from the library.
