THE BLADE CONTAINMENT ZONE

[Dan Heng has fallen into domesticity with a swiftness that would make a Trad Wife jealous. This is just meant to be a quick grocery run since he has a mind to make xiao long bao or sheng jian bao some time soon. A nice little celebration of Blade's good health.

When he returns to the condo, he almost calls out that he's home like normal, but the scent of baked goods that are slightly burnt hits his nose first. Dan Heng's a bit confused as he toes off his shoes and heads into the kitchen to see that Hurricane Blade came through. ... It looks like he's going to be cleaning the kitchen before doing anything else. On hearing what his boyfriend says about the recipe, Dan Heng takes a peek at the cookies. The sound of the cookie smacking against the counter confirms what he already knows.

The dragon puts the grocery bags onto a countertop miraculously free from mess. Then, he wraps his arms around Blade's waist from behind.]


You didn't put in enough butter, there's too much flour, or the ratio of brown sugar to white sugar is off.

[Dan Heng reaches out to swipe one of the cookies and fearlessly takes a bite of it. After a moment of thoughtful chewing, he swallows it.]

Mm, a combination of not enough butter and the oven's heat was a little too high. Your oven runs hot, so I have to adjust by about 25 degrees when I bake. [He then eats the rest of the cookie.] The flavor's there. It was a good try on your own.

[Dan Heng looks ups at his boyfriend.]

Perhaps next time I'll order groceries if this is what you get up to half an hour after I've left.
