Make no misCake!

"And so you want to make a cake." Tom summarizes, after Matt bursts into his house, without warning.

"Yes, tomorrow at Bing's school there is an event where every parent has to contribute. Kate is on a set, Elle is at a fashion parade.."
"And you are the lazybones ex-partner and husband at home!" Tom teases him.
"With the album that is finished, coming out in a few months, and the tour is yet to start... Yes, I am. But cakes aren't my thing. Chris already has his tons of children to take care of..."
"Well, there's Dom..." Tom ventures.
"No, there isn't..." Matt sighs unhappily.

"And by the way, yes, even if I didn't immediately appear at the top of your list of useful people," Tom points out, quite bothered. "You turned to the right person: I have a family recipe and I will reveal the secret to you." the visual artist preens, only to realize that Matt is staring at his cell phone.

"Is it that bad?" Tom plays the role of the empathetic friend.
"We had a fight. Then he left with Stacie..."
"You will make peace. As always."
"He hasn't answered me for three days." Matthew yelps. "So, what about this secret?" He tries to change the subject.

Thomas reveals every step of the cocoa sponge cake that the Kirks have handed down for ten generations.
At least while taking notes, Matthew does not look at his cell phone.

"All clear, then?" Tom asks at the end of the explanation.

"Yes, sponge cake. Stuffing. Icing. You have been a meticulous teacher. I just have to decide what shape to make it."
"Phoenix loves to fish, so I made the last one for him in the shape of a fish, it's also pretty easy..."
"A rocket into space. Bing will love it." Matt decides.

Easy things bore him.

"I have all the ingredients in the car. At home I have the babysitter with Lovella... do you mind if I cook it here?"
"That's even better! At least I'm following you step by step." Tom agrees.

------------------------

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Matt asks as he mixes the dough.
"Yes, the percentage of flour, cocoa and sugar is right and..."
"No, Tom, with my life: now I'm fond of Elle, I love her, she also gave me Lovella, but Dom is the love of my life, he always will be... what if I haven't made him understand enough?" He asks, perhaps more to himself, exalted by the arrival of a message which, however, he discovers is only from Elle.
"If Dom hasn't figured it out, he's the dumbest man on Planet Earth!" Tom makes him laugh, something he's always done.

-----------

"Matt, you should be able to do everything on your own by now. I'm going out with Jaclyn."
"Of course, it's your home. I have everything under control anyway..." Matt begins to prepare the icing, with his gaze falling promptly on his cell phone.

--------------------------------

"We're back!" The Kirks announce about two hours later.
"Just in time to see my finished creation!" Matt gloats, adding the last sprinkles.
"Oh God, Matt, you can't take it to school tomorrow!"
"Why not, Tom, what's wrong with the cake? It's not burned!"
"You didn't make it shaped like a rocket... it's shaped like an iPhone!"

"Uh, it's true... I was a little lost in thought... but okay, it'll be fine anyway!"
"I don't think so: there's a display saying: 'Please, Dommeh, call me!'

THE END

Notes:

I don't know if Tom Kirk is still involved in Muse stuff, I hope so because I adore him and his amazing work (and his trolling us fans, LOL)

So far that's all from WOTP Era, unless you gave me other prompts, anything can happen ;P

Get ready for the last one, now back to OOS Era, young BellDom all the way!

Hope you'll like it, but feel free to tell me anything ;)
