Baking Up Trouble

At the end of the school day, Y/n is seen putting his stuff away in his locker with Charlie nearby. He then closes his locker and walks up to Charlie who had just finished putting her stuff away as well.

"Ready?" he asks his friend who nods.

"Yep!" Charlie says. "Let's go home!"

Y/n nods at Charlie and they begin to make their way through the hall and to the exit. However, Charlie stopped when she noticed a few people at a table saying something about a... bake sale?

"Y/n?" the Demoness turns to her Human friend.

"Yes?" Y/n questioned as he stopped walking as well.

"What's a bake sale?" Charlie asked.

"Well, it's just something people do. They make sweets and then sell them for either a fundraiser or charity," Y/n informs the Demom princess. "I kinda think it's stupid, but people like it. I went once, got some muffins. Hated it."

"The muffins?"

"No," Y/n said as he walked off. "Social interaction."

Charlie deadpans at Y/n's response before she grins a bit.

"I'm gonna sign us up!" she declares as she goes over to the sign-up table.

"What?" Y/n questions as he stops in his tracks. "Wait! Charlie, no!"

"Too late! Signing up!" Charlie says happily. "We're making brownies!"

Y/n takes a moment to process what was going on as Charlie walks up to him with a smile.

"Done!" she says before noticing her friend's blank face. "What's wrong?"

Y/n takes in a quick breath before...

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--!"

Timeskip...

"I hate you for this."

Y/n is seen in the kitchen with Charlie, both of them wearing aprons as Charlie was setting up some baking materials.

"You know you love me," Charlie giggles as she winks at Y/n.

Y/n chuckles a bit as he looks at all the baking equipment.

"How'd you talk me into this?" he asks as he grabs the mixing bowl and sets it aside.

"Because you know you can't say "No" to me!" Charlie giggles as she twirls around a bit.

Y/n rolls his eyes in amusement as he takes out the brownie mix and looks at the instructions.

"Okay, so have you ever baked brownies before, Char?"

"Uh... not Human brownies, but yes...?" Charlie responds with a nervous smile.

Y/n gives Charlie a blank before letting out a sigh.

"Alright, just do as I say and we'll be just fine," he says. "Get the eggs, milk, and butter out. I'll get the flour and chocolate chips."

"Okay!"

Charlie smiles happily as she goes to the fridge and opens it. Y/n goes over to the pantry and takes out some chocolate chips and flour, but his eyes lingered on the caramel on one of the shelves.

"Eh. Why not?"

He grabs the caramel and closes the pantry. He walks over to the kitchen island and sets the items down, only to hear a yelp and turns just to see the eggs in Charlie's grasp fall to the ground.

"Uh... oops?" Charlie says and laughs nervously as she turns to Y/n.

Y/n sighs again as he slams his head against the kitchen island. He stays like that for a few moments before he turns to Charlie without lifting his head.

"Seriously?"

"I'm sorry," Charlie says as she shuffles to the island and sets the milk and butter down. "I didn't mean to."

"It's fine," Y/n says as he stands up. "We needed more eggs for all the brownies we're gonna make, anyway. I'll just go shop for them."

Y/n takes the apron off from his body and sets it aside as he walksnover to the door.

"I'll be back soon," he tells Charlie. "You can start without me and use what eggs we have left. Just don't burn the place down."

"Okay!" Charlie says with a thumbs up. "See you later!"

"See ya, Charlie."

With that, Y/n leaves through the front door. Charlie looks around the kitchen before clapping her hands together with smile on her face.

"Time to get to work!"

Meanwhile...

Later, at the grocery store, Y/n is seen grabbing eggs and placing them in his shopping cart. As he does, his ears pick up on a nearby conversation. He recognizes the voices belonging to two of his bullies, Jason and Ryan. The (H/C)-haired teen sets the egg carton in his hand down into his shopping cart and and peeks into the aisle where he heard them talk.

"Dude, what's your take on that Charlie girl?" Ryan asks Jason as he grabs a bag of chips.

"Charlie? The girl who hangs with Motor Freak?" Jason questions as he turns to his friend. "Dude, have you seen her body? She's hot!"

Ryan laughs as he agrees.

"Yeah, but she's a bit strange, isn't she?" Ryan says. "And she hangs around L/n like a lost puppy clinging to that rando that fed it."

Y/n narrowed his eyes at these words as he clenches the aisle shelves. He gritted his teeth as anger slowly rises in him.

"Yeah, but when I get her to fall for me, she's gonna forget all about Motor Freak," Jason says as he chuckles. "And then she'll be clinging to me."

He turns around with Ryan, only to see Y/n looking at them with his arms crossed over his chest. They stop when they see him, only to chuckle.

"Hey, L/n," Jason greeted the leather-cladded high schooler. "Fancy seeing you here."

"I'm buying eggs for me and Charlie," Y/n said, unmoving. "We're making some brownies for the bake sale at school."

"Well, who knew you would do something like that," Ryan said. "I thought you were a loner. Surprised you even hang around that Demon chick."

"Yeah, well, she treats me like a person instead of a freak, so, there's that," Y/n says with venom in his tone.

The two could sense the hostility in their classmate's voice, so they decided to just up and leave now.

"Well, it was nice talking to you, L/n," Jason said as he and Ryan began to walk up to him.

"But we gotta bounce," Ryan said as he and Jason began to walk past Y/n. "See ya, L/n."

"Yeah. See ya..." Y/n said as the two shoved past him. "Oh, and Jason?"

Y/n turns to Jason and Ryan who stops and turn to Y/n.

"Yeah?"

"You got something on your facen" Y/n said as he walked up to the duo.

"Really?" Jason asked as he felt oround his face. "What is it?"

Y/n stops in front of Jason before he punches the bully straight in the jaw.

Jason collapses to the ground as Ryan takes a step back in surprise.

"My fist."

Y/n then glares at Ryan who backs away in fear, letting Y/n walk up to Jason whose lip was bleeding. The leather-cladded teen kneels down to Jason's level and grabs him by his shirt collar, pulling him up to look him in the eye.

"You can do whatever you want to me. Hurt me, insult me, and even take away my Humanity, dignity, and pride," Y/n tells Jason. "But you lay even a finger on Charlie, I will personally hunt you down and slowly, but painfully, hurt you and your friend. Kapeesh?"

Jason glares at Y/n, only to get headbutted.

"Kapeesh?"

"Y-yeah..." Jason muttered as he nods his head. "K-kapeesh..."

Y/n huffed out a breath as he lets Jason fall back down to the floor and stands up. He dusts his jacket off before walking away, back to his shopping cart full of eggs before taking it to the check-out.

Timeskip...

Later, Y/n drives back up to the house with his father's car and parks in the driveway. He gets out of the car and takes out the bags of eggs before walking up to the front door. With practiced ease, the teen opens the door and steps inside, turning his back to the interior as he closes the door. Then he hears a loud boom go off, making him stiffen up before he slowly turns to see that the kitchen was covered in brownie mix.

"What the...?" Y/n questioned as he stepped forward.

Then a head with blonde hair slowly rises up from behind the kitchen island, revealing it to be Charlie whose face was covered with brownie mix.

"Heheh..." the She-Demon chuckles nervously as she looks at a bewildered Y/n. "Um... maybe this was a bad idea after all...?"

Y/n continued to stare at Charlie for a few more moments before laughing out loud.

"Oh, my God!" he laughs. "How did you you do this?!"

Y/n's laughter confused Charlie a bit as she had expected him to be angry at her. However, she soon starts to laugh too as she realizes how silly the whole situation looked. Then Y/n walked up to the kitchen and sets the eggs down. He grabs a small towel and wets it a bit under the faucet before walking up to Charlie. He wipes her face off with the cloth, making her giggle a bit as the brownie mix is wiped off of her face.

"There. All better," Y/n says as he looks at Charlie. "Now I can see you're pretty face."

Charlie smiles at Y/n who smiles back before turning to put the cloth away. However, Charlie then realizes what her friend said and began to blush.

'H-he thinks I'm pretty?' she asks herself as she looks at a still smiling Y/n.

Charlie says nothing as she stares at Y/n who turns to her when he realizes she was unusually quiet.

"You gonna help me clean this mess up or what?" he asks, still smiling in amusement.

Charlie takes a moment before she nods with a small smile.

"Y-yeah," she says as she goes to help clean. "Sorry about all this."

"No, no. It's fine," Y/n says. "I haven't had a laugh like that in a while. Thank you for that."

Charlie looks at Y/n in slight surprise before giving him a closed eye smile.

"You're welcome, Y/n."

And with that, the two cleaned up the mess in the kitchen. Then they went on to properly make the brownies for the bake sale, which didn't turn out as bad as Y/n thought it would. He actually had... fun. But why wouldn't he have fun? He was with Charlie, after all.
