Lance sipped her hot chocolate slowly, savoring the sweet warmth. Red cuddled next to him, wrapped in a quilt pattered with electric Pokemon and almost purring. The Dragon Master idly rested her fingers in the Champion’s hair.

“I want to make a cake.”

She raised her eyebrows. That was new. “If you insist,” She said quietly. Red slid off the couch, grinning.

“Well, do you want to help?”

“Chocolate,” Lance suggested with a smile.

“Sure!”

They went to the kitchen, and mixed eggs with lots of sugar, while Lance melted butter and chocolate chips on the stove, before creaming it all together with the necessary flour. Then, while they cake baked in the oven for half an hour, they cuddled some more. She fed him chocolate kisses and Red pretended to fight her affections off. It was all in fun though, and when the chocolate cake rose gleaming from the oven, both were quite pleased. They waited for it to cool, before cutting generous slices.

He smiled as he chewed on rich chocolate, taking second helpings and grinning between mouthfuls. Lance simply smirked, and regarded her partner with fond eyes.

Red was such a sweet child… and she really was a lucky woman.

After all, the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach, and she had that angle covered nicely.
