30 day OTP challenge (souharu)

Day 21, cooking/baking

Sosuke relentlessly ringing the doorbell was what finally got Haru out of bed. He sauntered downstairs and opened it, glaring up at him.

"I need your help."

"I was sleeping."

"It's three in the afternoon."

"Whatever." Haru stepped aside, letting Sosuke in. "What do you need?"

"When you fell asleep."

"I don't remember falling asleep."

He got a shrug in reply, and an order to remove the cupcakes form the tin and to put them on the rack. As soon as he stepped away Haru was working on them, piping swirls of vanilla cream on each one, and then splattering food coloring to look like paintball. He stepped back when he was done, and wiped the back of his cream-covered hand across his face, smearing it with white.

Sosuke looked away quickly, pretending he wasn't having very dirty thoughts. He grabbed a towel, and without looking up, turned Haru to him and wiped his face. Once it was
