For the holiday prompts bellarke making holiday cookies + "BUT YOURE DOING IT WRONG!!!!"

Merry Christmas Eve, Jess!! Thanks so much for the prompt, enjoy!!

Every year since joining Kane, Trikru & Associates, Clarke had won the office Christmas bake off. And every year, she had won it with a new and more complicated recipe. It’s not like there had been much competition the first three years she’d worked there, but still. It had given her a sense of accomplishment outside her professional triumphs. She’d made junior partner quickly, and had one of the best win/loss records in the office. But the cookie contest still appealed to her competitive side. It was nice to know she could win that too. Then, Bellamy Blake joined the firm.

The first year, she’d been sure he’d joined the contest as a gag. Kane had brought him on as junior partner just a few months prior, and Bellamy hadn’t exactly seemed like the Paul Hollywood type. But somehow his simple chocolate chip cookie recipe had been the senior partners’ favorite. Beginner’s luck, Clarke told herself. And maybe her spiced raspberry linzer cookies that year weren’t their cup of tea. She wasn’t a natural, true, but she could follow a damn recipe with precision, and she understood the chemistry involved better than the average home baker. The prize, after all, was more than office prestige. The winner got to determine what charity would receive the end of year donation from the firm, which was nothing if not a chance to impress her values on the senior partners.

The next year, he’d faced off against her with the same recipe. Again, Bellamy’s cookies had taken the win, this time over her gingerbread cookies (she’d candied the ginger herself!). Clarke started to think that maybe there was more to Bellamy Blake than met the eye. They worked in different departments, he in family law and she in civil litigation. She’d initially written him off as an asshole who’d gotten by on good looks and charm, and she was pretty sure he’d written her off as a spoiled rich girl who got the job because her parents were close with Marcus Kane. But over the past year and a half, she’d watched him rise in Kane’s esteem until he was taking second chair on half his cases. It was definitely not just beginner’s luck.

In another life, they might have been friends, maybe even dated. He was smart, kind, and dedicated to his job. All admirable qualities. Raven said the sexual tension between the two of them was palpable. And Clarke had to admit she’d always found him attractive. There was just the small matter of him being out to get her.

Anyway, this year she wasn’t going down without a fight. She decided to try something different. Instead of trying to impress the judges with a new and even more involved recipe, she’d found her grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe in a box at her parents’ house. That was in January. She began making test batches the very next day. By early December, she had the recipe perfected without a doubt. The day before the contest, she rolled the dough out carefully, making sure each cookie would cook evenly, and watched each tray bake from across the kitchen, hands gripped round a mug of coffee. She didn’t overdo it with decoration this year, just a dusting of sanding sugar should do the trick. She tried one as they were cooling and smiled. Absolutely perfect. Bellamy Blake’s chocolate chip cookies didn’t stand a chance.

The next day, she arrived at work and left her Tupperware of identically perfect sugar cookies in the break room. Bellamy’s submission was already there, cookies stacked haphazardly in a ziplock bag. Clarke just rolled her eyes. Only a few more hours until she unseated the reigning champion.

“You ready to lose again, Griffin?” Bellamy called from his door as she made her way to her own office.

Clarke smiled smugly and tossed her hair over her shoulder. “Awfully cocky for a guy who’s about to have his ass handed to him.”

Bellamy chuckled. “When I beat you for the third time, I’ll finally tell you what you’re doing wrong.”

Clarke just rolled her eyes.

Most of the firm were taking a half day in anticipation of the holiday weekend, so the tasting took place at lunch. The senior partners (Marcus Kane, Indra Trikru, and Charles Pike) were seated at the break room table, mock solemnity hanging in the air. There were four total submissions: Harper McIntyre and John Murphy in addition to Bellamy and Clarke. Harper’s shortbread was nothing to write home about, and Murphy’s snickerdoodles were just adequate. Clarke’s cookies were next up. She tried not to show how nervous she was as she watched all three partners take a bite.

Bellamy’s submission was last. They all seemed quite as happy with it as they had in previous years. Clarke felt her heart beat faster as the anticipation grew increased. She’d made her case before some of the most prestigious judges on the East Coast, but some this moment was more thrilling.

The senior partners took a moment to confer, then broke and turned back to the waiting crowd.

“One of the more interesting contests we’ve seen recently,” Pike began, “So interesting, we find ourselves in an unprecedented situation.”

Clarke glanced over at Bellamy. He seemed unmoved. Did this mean neither of them had won?

“We have a tie,” Indra continued. “Between Clarke Griffin and our reigning champion Bellamy Blake.”

“A tie?” Clarke asked. “What does that mean?” She glanced over at Bellamy to see he’d crossed his arms over his chest and was staring at her with an amused expression.

“Settle it by arm wrestling?” Bellamy suggested.

Clarke pursed her lips. “Very funny. Seriously, who gets to pick the charity this year?”

“I’ll leave that to the two of you to determine,” Marcus answered, standing and making his way towards the door. “Everyone be sure to take a few cookies with you, and happy holidays! Bellamy, Clarke, I’ll need your answer by Wednesday.”

“You can choose, if it means so much to you.” Bellamy had taken a seat on the kitchenette counter next to the remaining cookies as the rest of the staff vacated the break room.

Clarke scowled. “That’s no good, you just conceding to me.”

“Well, it’s the best you’re going to get, I think,” Bellamy chuckled. He reached for one of her leftover cookies and took a bite. “Hey, you figured it out!”

“Figured what out?” Clarke spat. “I’ve always been a fine baker.”

“Yeah, but you’ve always been trying too hard. Your previous submissions were good, but these are great. Family recipe?”

Clarke narrowed her eyes. “How did you know that?”

Bellamy shrugged and finished off the rest of the cookie. “Just a hunch. Mine’s a family recipe too. I made them every Christmas growing up, ever since I can remember.”

An image of a much younger Bellamy clad in a brightly colored apron, with flour on his chubby cheeks flashed through Clarke’s mind but she quickly dismissed it.

“You know,” Bellamy continued, “I don’t think you’ve ever actually tried my cookies.”

Clarke frowned. “They’re just chocolate chip cookies, how good can they be?”

“Trust me.” He held the plate out and she accepted.

Clarke took a bite and it virtually melted in her mouth. “Fuck…” she whispered, almost involuntarily. “That’s a really good cookie.”

“Told you!” Bellamy crowed. “There’s a reason I beat you the past two years.”

“Fine, maybe…” Clarke admitted. She leaned back against the counter, her shoulder nearly touching his thigh, and took another bite. “What’s your secret? It can’t just be that it’s a family recipe, that’s insane.”

“High quality chocolate, chilling the dough 24 hours before baking, and of course my undeniable desire to get to know the most badass junior partner in the firm better.”

His deadpan delivery didn’t land on her at first, and she nearly choked on a mouthful of cookie when she caught his meaning.

“There, there,” he patted her gently on the back, grinning down at her. “You really didn’t know?”

Clarke shook her head, still coughing. Bellamy hopped down and filled her a glass with water from the tap.

“My first day here Raven told me not to mess with you and your cookie completion.”

“So you decided to do just that,” Clarke replied, finally able to get a word out.

Bellamy grinned. “Yeah. I figured it would be one way to get myself on your radar. Anyway, I had fun. Didn’t you?”

“I did,” Clarke admitted. “It was nice to have a little friendly competition, I guess.”

“Friendly?” Bellamy raised his eyebrows. “I guess you starting the rumor that I was using prepackaged cookie dough was all in good fun?”

Clarke giggled despite herself. “Oh, that finally got back to you?”

“Yes, you asshole,” he joked.

“Just trying to get ahead. My competitive spirit knows no bounds.”

“Yeah,” Bellamy agreed, giving her a look that put her stomach in knots. “You’re something else.”

“Well,” Clarke asked, desperately trying to distract herself from the very unprofessional thoughts currently on her mind, “how do you suggest we settle this thing?”

“Why don’t we get a drink later and hash it out?” Bellamy suggested casually.

Clarke considered. There was no official rule about inter-office relationships at Kane, Trikru, & Associates. And…it was just a drink.

“Oh, by the way,” Bellamy continued. “I’ve been trying to get up the nerve to ask you out for almost a year now. I figure if I can’t say it at Christmas, there’s no hope for me. So…will you go on a date with me, Clarke Griffin?”

A smile dawned on Clarke’s face as she realized how nervous Bellamy actually was. His hands were shoved deep in his pockets, and his expression was almost bashful as he waited for her reply.

“You’ve got a unique way of showing interest in a person.” Clarke replied.

A slight blush spread over his face. “You’re a unique person.”

Clarke bit her lip. “Alright…I’ve got to finish up the Henderson brief for Indra, but I should be free around 4:00.”

Bellamy grinned. “That’s a yes, then?”

“On one condition.”

“Anything.”

“I’m buying. I need to alleviate my conscience over that rumor I started.”

“I don’t believe you feel guilty about that for a second,” Bellamy replied. “But alright.”

“Anyway, ties are bullshit,” Clarke continued over drinks later. “We’re going to have to hold our own bake off to determine the true winner.”

“I already told you you could pick the charity.”

“Yes, but it’s not about that. Someone needs to win outright.”

“I bet you’ve got a nice kitchen in your uptown apartment,” said Bellamy innocently, “why don’t we just have ourselves a little contest tomorrow morning?”

“Are you inviting yourself to stay over?” Clarke asked, with mock outrage.

“I’ve been trying to get a drink with you for over a year,” Bellamy pointed out. “Just want to make up for lost time.”

“We’ll see how the rest of the night goes,” Clarke replied slyly as she fished the cherry out of her Manhattan with the skewer. She already knew.

HIIIIIII!!! 10 and 22 from the salty ask list

Heyyy!!! Ohhh these questions are tough……but I like them! *Evil laughter* hehe

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

Okay I’m gonna have to say it, I’m gonna have to say Bellamy’s season 3 arc. Honestly season 3 was a mess I probably hated everyone’s arc lol, but yeah Bellamy’s storyline wasn’t fun to watch. I’ve always understood where his mindset was at when he joined Pike’s side and I totally get why he did the things he did, and I’m not mad at him (definitely disappointed but not mad) but still…..the writing was just…not very good. The writers failed to make the audience fully understand his head space and that’s why he got a lot of backlash. 

I don’t think he was OOC, I think this arc was inline with how Bellamy felt about grounders but I just think that people had a lot of expectations from season 2 where Bellamy was “the best Bellamy” (air quotes!) or whatnot and people were just like….”what the heck is happening here” with his season 3 arc. Season 3 in general makes me uncomfortable lol.

22. Popular character you hate?

I don’t really hate characters, I just dislike them…a lot lol, and I think there’s a difference! Can’t pour too much energy on passionately hating fictional characters hehe. But anyways, I would say L/exa. Yeah not a huge fan of her. She’s pretty bland…I dunno, she’s just there lol. And her fans…..yeah they can be scary. Also O/ctavia, I don’t know if she’s popular or not, but I’m not a fan of the whole “look at me I have a sword which means I’m a badass after training for like a month or whatever” thing she has going on. Hate stuff like that. She’s very hypocritical, fails to try and understand leadership struggles and instead tells them what they’re doing wrong, and she treats the people she loves pretty…badly and takes them for granted. I just….don’t think she’s a good person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for asking these!!! :))

Send me some salty asks!
