Focus on the cake!
Cosmo opened the pre-heated oven, as sprout gets stuffs the cake pans into the oven, the warm air hitting Cosmo's face.
They closed the oven door, as Cosmo sits on the ground. Sprout sits next to him, as they intently look at the cake batter slowly rising.
Ginger sits next to Cosmo, a bit confused at what they're doing sitting on the cold kitchen floor.
“What are you two doing?”
“I don't know, Cosmo just likes doing this”, Sprout said
“We're waiting for the cake! Duh”, Cosmo said
“Shouldn't we use this time, to check our decorations and frosting?”, Ginger asked.
Sprout nodded in agreement, he didn't like sitting on the kitchen floor looking at an oven. Although Cosmo liked looking at the oven blankly, which was slightly weird.
“I'll get a taste of the frosting!”, Sprout said.
Cosmo jumped up before him, while Sprout was getting up. Cosmo yanked him back down to the floor.
“I'll taste the frosting first!”, Cosmo said.
Sprout runs for it, taking the frosting his toon handler gave to him. Putting it on a spoon, and eating it. Cosmo got another spoon and ate the frosting also, Sprout looked like he was about to cry while Cosmo was confused.
“It's just normal icing", Cosmo said.
“This is what my handler gave to me, so you better shut up”, Sprout said.
“Both of you.. Why?”, Ginger asked.
Cosmo looked at Sprout, as he pointed at him. Sprout had some frosting on his face.
“Umm... Sprout has frosting on his face, he did it first!”, Cosmo said.
“Come here, I'll get that..”, Ginger said
Ginger walks to Sprout, as she wiped the frosting off his red face. She noted how his face was surprising smooth for a strawberry.
Sprout's red face turned blackish in color, as he moved away from Ginger. He was surprised with the sudden contact.
“Hmm...? Did I do something wrong? ”, Ginger asked
“Socia- Social distancing please?”, Sprout Stammered.
Sprout covered his face, trying to hide his obvious black tint to his red face. He felt warmness to his face.
“Sprout get your dumb ass over here- Oh wait I get it now...”, Cosmo said playfully.
“What happened?”, Ginger asked.
“Nothing, nothing!”, Cosmo said.
Cosmo turned to Sprout with a mischievous glint in his eyes, Sprout was never flustered or sensitive to touch before.. Which means his reaction with Ginger was not out of embarrassment.
“I'm not smart, but I know you, berry boy”, Cosmo said.
“Shut up! F-Focus on the cake decorations, will you?”, Sprout asked.
“...I'm still confused”, Ginger said.
Cosmo was happy for Sprout, he was getting worried that Sprout would end up with no hoes to his name, but Cosmo would forever be lonely.
Cosmo thought he was a good friend, and decided to help Sprout out with Ginger. Since Cosmo was a master cupid... In his dreams, but that still counts.
“I'll just get the caramel and the icing pipes for the cake!”, Sprout said as he ran.
Ginger was confused with how Sprout was acting, but she assumes this is normal since this is the first time she met him.
“I'll make the best for her, since she took care of me”, Sprout said.
“She? I thought your handler was a boy”, Cosmo asked.
“What's a handler?”, Ginger asked.
Ginger's question was left unanswered, as Cosmo and Sprout talked about whether Sprout's toon handler was a girl or boy.
“Isn't his name Sam?”, Cosmo asked.
“I thought it was Sammy, she let's me call her Sammy”, Sprout said.
“I'm sure he's a boy”, Cosmo said.
Ginger taps on Sprout's shoulder. To which he malfunctions and drops forward, his face turning warm and blackish again.
Sprout gets up, as the initial flustered phase was replaced with embarrassment to how he overreacted and made a fool out of himself.
