Rating: General Public
Summary: Catching Lavender up on the meeting & getting free baked goods.

Michael wasn't sure if he felt good about the meeting or not. They had discussed plenty of things and learned loads from all different sources, but there had been confrontation and not many had considered some of what he said to be realistic, which he had expected, but being the dutiful not-boyfriend that he was, he had still said it. He wanted to give Lavender a full account of what all had happened, but he had a feeling she wasn't going to like all of it. Hopefully he could put that part off for a while.

Michael knocked on her door rather than trying to enter through the roof, though at least he had been extended an invitation this time. So maybe that meant that he wouldn't be expecting anything to be thrown at him, not that he wouldn't put it past Lavender to turn the tables on him at any moment. He waited for her to open the door, holding a bouquet of lavender coloured flowers he had procured on the way over to Lavender's flat.

"Well I don't know about you, but I certainly was expecting a spectacular looking cake today. I can't eat it if it's not going to look like the do at the bakery. If you're going to let the standards drop at home, who's to say they aren't going to drop at the bakery too? I might just need to have a word with your aunt about the work ethic of her niece at this rate. This is really unacceptable." Michael stuck his tongue out at her, though that didn't do much for him as he ended up with frosting on his nose in the end anyway.

Michael stuck his finger on his nose, putting it to his tongue to taste it. "Mmmm. Well now, Lav, I think that was a waste of frosting. Who's using utensils for incorrect purposes now?" Michael raised an eyebrow. He dipped his spatula in the frosting and waggled it threateningly in front of her face. "You just made a mistake, love." He bent the spatula back and let the frosting fly toward her face, laughing.

"Michael!" She shrieked, trying to move out of the way of the flying frosting. Only she wasn't quick enough. The frosting hit the side of her face, getting in her hair. Flour in her hair by accident was one thing, but frosting intentionally was something different. While not exactly appropriate, it was a far better memory to associate with the frosting than what she had to go through to get the cream cheese for it. No, this was exactly what she needed - a bit of fun.

"I don't think it tastes better in my hair." She brushed the frosting out and shook out it so it fell down on the ground. With her other hand she reached over and cut a piece from the top half of the cake. "But I think you should try some cake, to see if they go well together." Lavender picked up the cake and smushed into his face. Some of it had to go into his mouth.

Michael was still laughing when she smashed the cake in his face, so he ended up with plenty in his mouth. He chewed dramatically with his mouth wide open, making loud "Mmmm" noises as he did. "This is so much better when it's baked into a cake and not being thrown at me," he said, when he was finally able to speak after swallowing the bit that had made it into his mouth.

"But I don't want to be rude, Lav. Here, you should have some too." Michael looped his arm around her waist to pull her to him and rubbed his face against hers, trying to get the cake to stick to her face instead of his. Most of it crumbled down between them but he laughed anyhow. "Now that is how you share a cake," he said and then dipped his finger in the frosting. "Oh wait, you need some of this," and painted her lips with it before leaning down and kissing it off of them.

Lavender laughed, eyes pressed close to prevent crumbs from getting in, but also because he was close again. She supposed on some level this was what twenty-three was supposed to feel like - full of laughter, cake, and kisses. Pretending in that perfect, unburdened other version of her had got her into trouble in the past. It was because no matter how hard she tried to forget or let them go, her burdens were always there heavy upon her head.

Still, she kissed him. The frosting making it a bit awkward, but not in a bad way. Feeling bold, she reached into the bowl, coating a finger with frosting so that she could smear it on his cheek. So, when she broke away from his lips with a little nip she could lick and kiss the frosting off his cheek. "You know, I can't say that this is quite what I had in mind when I invited you over." She wrapped her arms around his waist, amused by the turn of events.

Michael grinned down at her, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Now you know better than to invite me into the kitchen to help," he laughed, shaking his head a bit.

"Alright, do you want to actually frost this cake, or is it ruined now?" It was missing a piece since it had been shoved into his face, but he supposed the rest could still be done. "I promise to behave...mostly." He gave her a smirk and kissed her one more time before stepping back and wielding his spatula again. "Let's frost this baby so I can eat it already!"

Michael was glad that this afternoon had started off nice because when they began talking about the meeting, he didn't think it would be quite as pleasant.
