RomanoxReader The Exploding Cake

Rain pattered softly against the window, drawing your attention away from the half-finished drawing in front of you. Thunder rumbled in the distance, the clouds dark and heavy. You sighed, turning back and grabbing your eraser yet again. You were just about to erase a large chunk of your picture's arm when you heard a bang and a surprised scream, followed by a long stream of swear words.

You decided to investigate. You opened your door, emerging into the hallway, and walked towards the angry yelling. It led you to the kitchen, where you found Lovino, completely covered in cake, and not happy about it.

“What fucking kind of cake fucking EXPLODES?!” he yelled. You snorted and broke into full out laughter. Lovino turned around, and you laughed harder. His entire face was coated with cake and icing, his clothing in not-much-better condition. “What the hell are you laughing at?!”

You fought for breath, trying to speak. “Wha-” you started laughing again. “What happened?” you asked, giggling.

“I just walked into the kitchen and there was a fucking cake on the counter so I though you'd made it and when I went to get a piece it fucking blew up!” Lovino looked rather put out. You started giggling again. “It's not funny, (Name)!”

“I beg to differ,” you said as you slid down the wall, laughing. Lovino tried to be angry, but the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

“It was very traumatic,” he stated, watching you out of the corner of his eye. You got to your feet and made your way to the grumpy Italian.

“Aw. I'm sorry. Do you need help getting cleaned up?” Lovino was glad that he was covered in his cake so you couldn't see him blush. He nodded, pouting like a little kid. You fought back another round of laughter. “All right, come here.” You walked to the sink, almost slipping on frosting. Lovino followed. You wet a washcloth and looked up, preparing to clean off his face, but you were overtaken by more giggles.

“Stop laughing at me!” Lovino gathered a handful of exploded cake in is hand and threw it at you. You wiped cake out of your eyes, and very seriously turned to the sink. You turned on the water and grabbed hold of the pull-out sprayer, then turned back to Lovino, and aimed it at his face. His eyes widened. You pulled the sprayer trigger.

Lovino gave a small shout as cold water blasted him in the face. You started laughing again. He grabbed more cake and threw it at you. You opened the water all the way to give your sprayer more power. Lovino ran out of reach and started laughing when you dropped the sprayer to chase him around the kitchen. He ran around the island, sliding through the corners. You ran after him, almost catching him when you slipped and pitched forward. You squeezed your eyes shut, bracing for impact.

Strong arms wrapped around your waist, catching you before you hit the ground. You opened your eyes. Lovino pulled you back up and twirled you around for effect. You almost fell again, but caught yourself on his chest. He set his arm on your waist again to steady you. You looked up, and blushed. The pair of you were almost nose-to-nose.

Tension was suddenly zinging in the air. You stared up at Lovino, and he stared back.  Your breath caught as Lovino leaned down, sealing his lips to yours. He tasted like cake and something uniquely him. He pulled away slightly.

“That was really good cake,” you said, a little breathlessly. Lovino smirked and leaned in again.

Toni was doubled in over in silent laughter, Gilbert rolling in the wet grass next to him clutching his stomach and Francis replaying the video.

“Did you see his face when zhe cake exploded?!” Gilbert managed to say over his laughter. Toni nodded, tears streaming down his face.

“He actually screamed!”

“Guess who's on Youtube?” Francis showed the other two the video.

“Zhat was awesome! Best prank ever!”
