[Haru is wearing an apron. He looks like something crawled up his ass and died, like someone pissed in his cheerios- he's pissed off for no discernible reason, but it's clear he's not pleased.

But the video shows a table with a cake shaped like a cat and way too many green cupcakes.]

Heropa 34. Take some and eat it.

[Demanding. And then, a mutter:]

I made too much.

[Rei comes down the stairs because he smells baking and it's not him. It smells good.

He peeks into the kitchen and sees Haru (not surprising) and cupcakes (more surprising) and a cat cake (most surprising). He checks his communicator and grimaces at the date.

Ah.

Has Haru ever spent Makoto's birthday without Makoto? Rei's under the impression that they were born joined at the hip.

He steps the rest of the way into the kitchen.]

It looks good, Haruka-senpai.

[Code for "you are fooling no one in this room."]

[Haru is furiously mixing batter. He gives Rei a quick glance before glaring at the bowl again. It's brown - brownies, perhaps.]

Take some.

[He's spent the better part of the morning working on everything, having collected all the ingredients the day before. Despite the volume of things he's made, the kitchen is still relatively clean. Probably because he cleans as he cooks - a good distraction in his current mood.]

[theoryandcalculation]

I will, in a minute.

[He comes further into the room, taking in all the baked goods. If Haru is still cooking even with this many, that logically means that he's using it as a distraction.

Rei feels bad for him. He misses Makoto, of course, but that's nothing on what Haru must be feeling without him here.]

Are you alright?

[acclimatized]

You seriously made all that?

[iwatobi]

Yes. Please take some. No charge.

[acclimatized]

That's incredible. I know someone who will love some of the cat cake.

[hands4healing]

You've been doing a lot of baking.

[...]

Your cat-cake is really cute.

[video]

[iwatobi]

[A shrug in acknowledgment - he never knows what to do with compliments.]

Take it. I don't need it.

video.

[gluestick]

Who'd you piss off this time?

video.

[iwatobi]

No one.

[Deflect, deflect, deflect.]

Take some. Or all of it. I don't care. I don't care for sweets.

[glitterateur]

That cake is amazing.

[iwatobi]

Do you want it?

[standsproud]

That's a waste of food. You'll end up having to throw some away.

[iwatobi]

I won't if people take them.

Baking a hobby of yours?

[iwatobi]

It isn't. It just felt like a good day to do it.

[gonstop]

[did someone say SWEETS... This is kind of suspicious, giving out free food, but the great thing is even if it's poisoned, Killua can eat it.]

I'll take whatever's left!

[All of it.]

[iwatobi]

Okay. But I don't have anything convenient for carrying.

[He still has quite a bit left... He made. A. Lot.]

[ GOD.

She's panting heavily on her end, shoulders heaving up and down as she eyes the screen with hungry intent. ]

C-Cupcakes...

For everyone?

[video]

[yatagarasu]

Ah, that cat cake is so cute, Haru! I'd also like to take a cupcake off your hands. Or three.

[video]

[iwatobi]

[!!! It's her.]

Mm. Would your friends like some, too?

[clinomaniac]

[....Someone's offering food?]

I'll be there with a box. Maybe an hour. Save some for me.

[A pause.]

... Please.

video;

[iwatobi]

Mm.

[He doesn't really need to 'save' any. He has THAT much.]

You can take as much as you need.
