*ding*

You perked up at the sound of the bell. Rushing to the oven you grabbed oven mitts and opened the oven door. You're met with the heat causing you to smile.

"Finally. They're done."

***

You walked down the halls of Nanba with a large container in your hands. Your music blasting through your ear buds. You let your mind wonder at the sound of (your favorite song).

You came to stop in your tracks when the warden turned the corner. Music stopped and ear buds were put away almost instantly. You stood straight and looked her in the eyes boldly.

"Good afternoon Warden Hyakushiki." You greeted.

With a nod she asked, "To you as well. Was the kitchen of any use to you?"

A smile found its way onto your face. "Yes." You nodded, "Thank you for granting me permission to use the area and it's contents."

She closes her eyes as she looks down. A smile on her face. "Yes well, it's the least I could do."

You both nod at each other one last time before continuing on to your own destinations.

You looked down at the container and smiled.

After a few minutes you had made it to the break room. You held the container in one hand to use the other to open the door.

"Enki-sama?" You called out into the room.

Luckily the supervisor is here. He looked up from the floor to see you. "What so you need?"

You step inside and close the door behind you. You walked closer, shrinking and holding the container in front to hide behind. You blushed in embarrassment as your heart began to beat faster.

"Well..." You shuffled around. You gulped before unintentionally shouting, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENKI-SAMA!" Your arms extend, holding out the container of cupcakes.

"I know it's not cake when it should be a cake but I didn't know if you wanted cupcakes or cake. Before I could decide, I accidentally poored the batter into the cupcake pan. Happy birthday?" You rambled.

He stayed silent.

You internally panicked that you did something wrong and began to tear up.

But then...the container left your hands and a hand patted your head.

You looked up at the tall guard and saw him take out a cupcake from the container. You watched with careful eyes as he took a bite.

He chewed slowly, making you more anxious. When he swallowed, he looked down at you with a poker face.

"I've tasted better."

"Eh!?" A tick mark popped on your head. You swiped the container from him and turned around with a huff.

"Fine. I'll just give them to Samon-san then."

"Wait!" He grasped your shoulder. "Just...give them here." He held out a hand.

You eyed him with a pout before giving in with a sigh.

"Happy birthday Enki-sama." You smiled softly as you once again, handed him your sweet creation.

"Thank you... (Y/n)-san."
