more stella/rayden spooniness.
Okay so last night had been an absolute disaster and Stella hadn't stopped feeling like crap ever since she had ran from his dorm room like a little girl. But at least she hadn't gone some where and gotten drunk. For a moment she had considered smoking a cigarette from of her uber secret stash but had some how managed to resist the urge. No, instead she had gone to bed like a good little girl. At least she hadn't cried herself to sleep.
It had been almost noon when she woke up and the first thing she did, after showering of course, was head straight into the kitchen. Stella knew she couldn't compete with a dead girl but she'd be damned if she was just going to give up on him that easy.
So here she stood in front of his dorm room again this time dressed a lot more casually. Just a pair of jeans, a black tank top, and her ever trusty combat boots. Even though she had wanted to look casual she still took ages to do her make-up and make sure her hair looked perfect. She still deseperatly wanted him to like, you know like, her but wasn't sure how to approach all this. It was a confusing situation.
All she knew was that she wanted to be here so here she was. Resting in her hands was a huge chocolate cake the frosting swirling around it prettily. It had taken her at least an hour to make and she couldn't think of anyone she wanted to share it more. Balancing the cake in one hand she pushed the ringer and took a few steps back tossing her hair over her shoulder.
"Come on Rayden... just open the door" she whispered softly fidgeting a little.

Rayden got up from his bed wearily, putting his picture frame back on the table. The mug of hot chocolate, cold and filmy by now, was still sitting next to it, as well as a bag of un-frozen peas, a pool of condensation wetting the table. He hadn't slept at all, not since Stella left him the way she did last night. He let the doorbell ring for a few times, taking his own sweet time dragging his feet towards his door.
He opened the door, staring at the ground to find a pair of combat boots standing outside. His glance travelled up to find Stella holding a divine-looking chocolate cake, fidgeting slightly and looking as lovely as he remembered her. A perfect vision for tired eyes.
"Yeah?" He asked, a little guardedly, and a little curious at the reason she was standing here. He smoothed his unruly hair with a hand, moving away from the door to let her in.

So far so good. He wasn't with another girl. He wasn't drunk off his ass. Bonus points for actually letting her into his dorm. She slid past him giving him one of her best flirty smiles. The place looked exactly as it had last night making her wonder if he had slept at all. From the way he looked probably not and that made her feel really bad.
"Brought you a cake... well you gotta let me try a piece too, then the rest is yours, I hope its good it's been ages since I've actually baked anything" Stella said heading over to the coffee table and scooting somethings to the side so she could set her cake down.
"Let's see" she said straightening up and heading for the kitchen, "we'll need a knife.. and some plates" she rumaged around a bit in there opening his cupboards, "and some forks..."

Rayden just followed her silently as she walked into his room, smiling at him as if nothing had happened during the early hours of the morning. What about those words she threw at him before she left? Didn't they mean anything to her? If they did what was she doing here now, with this cake that was obviously an attempt to sweeten his mood and well...it was working a little. His mouth started to water as he imagined the soft cake in his mouth.
He sat on the couch waiting eagerly, his eyes sparkling like a little boy.

At least the kitchen was tidy and she didn't have a problem finding the things she needed. For a moment she was surprised that he didn't follow her in there. She had been expecting angry questions, not silence. When she glanced out at him she saw him staring at the cake with a sparkle in his eyes that made her grin.
Carrying the everything out of the kitchen she plopped down next to him on the couch trying not to think about how they had been curled up here together just last night.
"Maybe I'll just cut myself a piece and then let you go mad at the rest" Stella said with a little giggle nudging his shoulder with hers, "you could probably demolish this thing in seconds"

"You really know my weakness don't you." He grinned at her nudge. If he was ever angry with her, it had dissipated by now.
And in fact he wasn't. He was just resigned to his fate and thought that her leaving was justifiable.
He had afterall just confessed that he was still in love with some other girl...it would be stupid to expect her to come running to him and say she'd wait for him until the cows ambled home when it wasn't sure if he could ever let go of Clarice. No girl would let herself be set up for heartache and endless pining like that.
So why was she still here?
The question lingered in his mind as he watched her cut a slice for herself. But the chocolatey goodness oozing from the cake distracted him quite adequately, and he couldn't resist taking a swipe at it with his index finger, and sucked the icing off it.
"Delicious." He grinned, running his tongue over his teeth to salvage any of the icing left there. "I didn't know you could bake masterpieces like these?"

It was nice to see that grin back on his face. If it was up to her he would always be smiling.. except when he was busy kissing her of course. Stop that... she chided herself.
"Oh I've still got plenty of tricks up my sleeve" she said with a playful grin as she drug one of her fingers through the icing on her piece of cake. Her eyes sparkling mischievously she turned towards him and smeared some of the icing right on the end of his nose.
"Thats what you get for stealing a taste" Stella giggled as she licked her finger clean.

Rayden mock-frowned at her.
"You better clean it off or I'll smear some on your hair!" He lied, knowing he wouldn't waste any of the chocolate cake.
He grabbed a plate and cut himself a HUGE slice of cake, digging in with relish as if he had never eaten chocolate cake before. He chomped, grinning at her with his mouth full and eyes turned into little slits, his entire face lit with bliss. After he managed to swallow that large mouthful, he looked across at her, his eyes turning serious.
"So...to what do I owe this princely treat?"

She laughed as she watched him eat the chocolate frosting still decorating the end of his nose. His eyes were serious when he asked his question but she wasn't really ready to go there yet.
"You're a prince, isn't that enough?" She said with a grin grabbing a box of tissues near by and pulling one out. Carefully she lifted it to his nose and cleaned away the chocolate smear with a giggle.
"Couldn't have you looking un-princely, what princess would want to kiss you then?" Stella said setting the tissue down on the table.

"Oh I dunno, a princess who falls for my other charms." He winked at her. She had steered away from his question, perhaps not wanting to spoil the light mood. He didn't mind. Just as long as she stayed here with him, he should be content. "I'm sure it's not my princely good looks alone that does all the work, there has to be something else." He licked his fork cleaned, then went for another huge slice of cake which was rapidly diminishing.

She opened her mouth in mock shock and horror, "You have other charms besides your good looks? No way" she said letting a hand flutter to her chest.
She snickered and watched as he cut another huge slice of cake. Mental note, when in a fight with Rayden, bring baked goods. She took a bit of her cake and had to admit that it tasted pretty damned good.
"Well I'm glad you like it" she nudged his knee with hers and continued in a joking tone, "I did slave over a hot stove for ages to make it"

"Well then." He nudged her back with his knee. "I certify you fit to be a housewife." He grinned. "Depending on whose housewife you wanna be." He wolfed down another huge swallow. "You're gonna make me fat if you keep baking decadent chocolate cakes to feed me though. Then I'd really lose my princely good looks." He smirked. "As for those other charms, I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself."

She laughed and shook her head, "Could you really imagine me as a housewife?" she snickered at the thought of spending the day in an apron. But for a moment she dared to let herself imagine taking care of a family... maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
"Oh trust me Rayden, I know all too well about your other charms" She gave his belly a soft poke and grinned, "maybe that's why I'm trying to fatten you up, so no one else would want you"

"You know I actually can." He gave her face a lingering look. "And I think you'd look very becoming in an apron." He smiled softly. "Any guy that manages to get you would definitely want to keep you in his house instead of out there figthing risky battles and letting other men ogle at you." He licked the corner of his lips to clean any chocolate stained there.
He laughed when she poked his belly. "Well you'll have to try harder. I have a hellish metabolism rate, how do you think I managed to inhale all the foot and not turn into a tub of lard?"

"Any guy that manages to get you would definitely want to keep you in his house instead of out there fighting risky battles and letting other men ogle at you." He said licking at the one of the corners of his lips. She was half temped to kiss the chocolate away after a statement like that.
"Thanks" she said with a little blush looking away from him to take another bit of cake.
"Well you'll have to try harder. I have a hellish metabolism rate, how do you think I managed to inhale all the foot and not turn into a tub of lard?" he said and she snickered softly giving his belly another poke.
"I hate boys like you" she groaned playfully with a roll of her eyes, "It will take me hours in the training center just to work off this one piece of cake"
