Fourth Floor common room, Tuesday evening

Ami was getting things ready to bake again. There were already cookies in the oven and she was contemplating what type of chocolate cake to bake.

Fresh from his conversation a few floors below (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1083201.html?thread=89432385#t89432385), Billy's mood was not improved.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hey. Cake." Ami gestured to the cake ingredients in front of her. And noticed he was nto in a happy mood. "What's wrong?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Good I need the distraction." He kissed her lightly. "Well part it's the leg, and the other is more nasty rumor mongering."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Rumors? What about?" She kissed him and handed him an apron.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy raised an eyebrow at the apron, but slipped it on. "Uh, well honestly I don't know if I should say, cause, it'd be sort of spreading the rumor."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good point." She handed him a scale, a bowl and a bag of flour. "Can you measure out 250 grams please?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yes I can." he nodded, measuring out the required amount. "So how's your day been?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"My day? Had my computers final and went swimming in the pool with a rather charming young man." She took the bowl of flour and broke the eggs into it.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh really? Who?" he smirked. Oh he was so clever.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Oh i don't know if i should tell you, you might get jealous."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Who me? Jealous? Perish the thought. Just a harmless duel between gentlemen that's all."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Oh well, that may be entertaining for a lady to observe." Stirring and mixing commenced. "100 grams of sugar please and 50 grams of cocoa into the same bowl"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Some forms of entertainment never go out of fashion really." He carefully measured out the amounts. It was similar to something he'd learned as a child. Only that was far less benevolent.

"Where'd you learn to bake?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"From my mother. She baked when she was stressed." And now the mixer was out and the whole thing was being whipped into shape. "Can you butter this pan please?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I think so. The whole pan?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Not the outside." She said, just in case it was not obvious. "You have either baked a lot before or have done a lot of chemistry." she said, noting his precise measuring ability.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"A fair amount of chemistry." he conceded. "Not really of the baking variety." He buttered the pan. "Do I want to be able to see the butter or not?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Not. Do i want to know what sort of chemistry?" Ami had an inkling that it was on the illegal side of things.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Uh, let's just say I know my way around volotile chemicals." he said, finishing buttering the pan. "I had a conflicted upbringing."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"So you have said, yes." Ami finished with the mixer and popping out the beaters offered him one.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." Billy grinned. He'd never actually done this before, with the mixing beater. Not a lot of cake baking in his past.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami had the other one, and totally licked chocolate cake batter off of it. Raw eggs be damned.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy licked as well, after taking a moment to watch her do a bit of licking. What? He's a teenager.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

What teenagers like watching their girlfriends lick hard things? "This is probably horrid for me, but it is yummy." Ami grinned.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure many things that taste good are unhealthy." he grinned. "In enough quantities anyway."
