▲ — She may have taken his ‘small slice’ a little too seriously as she cut a piece of cake so thin that you could practically still see through it. However, she continued to smile at the boy, excited to see his reaction towards her baking. After all, it wasn’t everyday that someone you just met would try a cake she made. And her first one too!
”Is this small enough or would you like smaller? Or would you like bigger. Do you think you can finish this much?” She asked, genuinely concerned with whether or not this was too much for the male to finish. But a part of her didn’t want to give anymore because this was her cake too. Call her greedy, but she needed a fair bit! — ▼
“That’s fine! I don’t think I would want to take away too much of your cake. I’m sure you want a lot of it for yourself, right?” Yeah yeah, anything to only keep that small of a slice. He hesitantly took the slide from her, fork in hand, with a rather uncertain look on his face. Should he really eat this thing? What would it do to him if it wasn’t properly made?
“Here goes…” The fork cut off a tiny bite of the cake and lifted it up toward Ruby’s mouth. His hand shook as it got closer and closer until he finally got it inside and against his tongue. Closing his mouth, he gave the cake a true taste.
▲ — The fact that someone had been willing to try her cake, even if it had been the first time and she wasn’t exactly sure if it was edible or not meant a greater deal to her than one would have originally thought.
Pure happiness seemed to radiate right from her but Latias could not deny that the anxiety the boy felt towards the cake was more than obvious. To her, at least. Nonetheless, he had accepted her offer of “cake” and that was all that mattered to her at the moment.
“How big would you like your slice? A very big piece? A very small piece? But it cannot be too big, because then that would mean less cake for me and other people who would like to try some of it as well.” — ▼
Well, even if it meant that Ruby was going to be getting sick beyond all belief from having a possibly not even finished cake, at least he was making someone happy. Though next time he was going to have to make sure to not be so nice about this kind of stuff. Here’s hoping that the cake was at least edible.
“A small slice will be good enough for me. i wouldn’t want to eat too much of it now.” There was a brief, awkward laugh coming from him as she looked at him with such a happy look. Just go along and eat the cake. That’s all he has to do.
▲ — Oh my god, someone that thinks she did an amazing job! You get a huge grin on her lips as she held up the cake tray, blue hues sparkling with pride because this was her first time baking a cake as well. ”I did! I did do an amazing job! It will taste very nice too. Would you like some?” — ▼
He dug himself into the hole. This is all on him now. There is now way he is going to be allowed to just walk away from all of this after saying she did an amazing job.
“Uh.. well… Sure! I guess one slice wouldn’t hurt… right?” At least he hoped this wouldn’t send him to the hospital or anything. Who knew if this was even a good idea anymore. But now he has to push through this and accept everything that was happening.
“Yes! You did an amazing job!” Just go along with it Ruby. Just go along with it. The last thing you need to do is get slapped in the face or something by this girl. Agree that her cake is a success.
