Saw someone on twitter say how this scene looked like Wade was introducing his boyfriend to his mom for the first time, and I want to say, what do mean “looked like.” This was Wade introducing his boyfriend to his mom.

SUMMARY: What happened at the end of Chapter 1

TAGS: Fluff, Baker Fae!Yuu/BF!Yuu/Patissier Fae!Yuu, Male Yuu, Heartslabyul chapter

WORD COUNT: 1,996 words

After the whole Overblot with Riddle Rosehearts, Yuu had been in peace doing school work and keeping Grim in Line.

"Yuu~!"

"Hey, Ace! You can't just burst in the Prefect's dorm as you please!"

And just like that Yuu's peace was broken.

"What is it you two? Causing so much ruckus early in the morning, Rosehearts would have scolded you two."

"Scold us later, remember the promised Unbirthday Party?"

Ace questioned, a cheeky grin on his face.

"*Sigh* How can I forget? That was also the same day you punched Rosehearts and the day of his overblot."

"Geez! No need to bring up ancient history... But anyways, it's today at three pm sharp, and you're invited!"

Yuu mused at this, a smile gracing his face.

"I see... Do I need to bring something with me? A gift?"

"Nah~ This is a sorry party for what he had said and done, so no need to bring any gifts!"

"Okay then, You two should head to your classes soon, I was exempted by Crewel-sensei after passing one of his hardest quizzes."

"Tch, you're definitely the favorite."

"Ace!"

"What? It's the truth!"

Yuu chuckled at their interaction, he reached both of his hands to place it on their heads.

"Grim is by the couch sleeping, bring him along with you, and hurry up. Crewel-sensei will get angry if you arrive late."

He said ruffling their hair before retracting his hands. Yuu looked amused at their flustered expression.

"Even though Ace said I didn't need to bring anything... It'll be rude to do so right?"

Yuu muttered to himself as he got all the ingredients and tools ready.

"And besides, Ace had punched Rosehearts really hard. This will do well as a sorry gift."

*Snap*

With a snap of his fingers, every thing was set up.

"Okay, so first..."

Yuu grabbed a bowl of strawberries and poured them into the saucepan, and proceeded to pour in a small cup of sugar, before opening the stove on low heat and mixing the two ingredients carefully.

As Yuu let go of the rubber spatula, it continued to mix it self as Yuu did the other things that needed to be done.

He went to another stove and began to melt some butter at the right temperature, left it alone as he went to grab a set of whole cookies, placed it in some plastic bag, and proceeded to mash it up using the counter tap, as he repeatedly smashed the cookies, making it into crumbs.

He then took them out and placed them in a bowl, before going to the stove and shutting it off, and getting the melted butter to pour it on the cookie crumbs. He then began to gently mix the two ingredients together.

Hearing the strawberries begin to cackle more, he let go of the spatula to cut some lemon, and at the same time, the spatula began mixing by itself like before.

He squeezed the lemon into a cup, once it all got squeezed in, he began to pick out the fallen lemon seeds, before heading to the stove with the lemon juice in hand. Pouring only the right amount of lemon juice, Yuu left it to stir as he went back to preparing other things.

At this point, the previous mixture of cookie crumbs and melted butter was now patted down by a spatula and the bottom of a floating cup., by the floating spatula, as instructed by Yuu.

Seeing that everything was set, Yuu placed it in the freezer as he dealt with another task. He got out some cold water, and poured it in a rectangular bowl, before adding gelatin into it. He then proceeded to place it in the refrigerator to cool before going to do another task.

He took out a huge glass bowl, and there he smashed some cream cheese with a whisk, flattening it down like he did for the mold, stirring it repeatedly to make it more liquid-like.

Just like before, Yuu left the whisk to do its thing as he came back for the strawberries that were still being stirred by the rubber spatula. Looking at it, Yuu hummed in satisfaction, turning off the stove, and taking control of the spatula.

He then began to pour the contents of the saucepan, at an already-readied tool, to help filter out the chunks. Yuu mixed the contents as they fell on a clear bowl. After that, he placed a clear plastic wrap on top of it and chilled it in the freezer.

Finishing that, he went and grabbed the remaining lemon juice, and poured it into the mixture of cream cheese, before taking back control of mixing it.

***

Placing down the spatula, Yuu flicked his hand. At that, the fridge opened, and out came the rectangular bowl that you had placed the gelatin in the fridge, as the door closed.

With a swish of his index finger, the rectangular thin-shaped gelatin floated and got gently squeezed, to drain out excess water, before placing it in a smaller ceramic bowl.

It then floated in his hands, Yuu held it as his hand slightly glowed red-orange. The gelatin in the ceramic cup then turned into a liquid, that was poured into the cream, cheese mixture.

***

Yuu went back to the fridge to get out the strawberry that he had placed in the freezer and poured it into the thick substance in the clear bowl. (While he does that, a floating electric mixer, was mixing some heavy cream, in another clear bowl.)

Mixing it thoroughly, the color of the contents in the bowl began to change because of the strawberry puree in the mix. After some mixing, he grabbed the heavy cream that had been mixed and added it to the bowl he was mixing.

After that, another set of mixing went on before the mold with the cookie crumbs was in came out from the freezer, and floated next to the clear bowl.

Yuu began to pour an even amount of the contents of the clear bowl and, he placed down the bowl, as he shook the mold slightly which now contained some creamy content side ways gently, to even it out before he Yuu let go of it, and started floating back to the freezer.

***

Yuu poured in the last bits of the creamy mixture, with an obviously darker pink color, before finally putting it in the freezer, and setting up a 2-hour timer.

Yuu used that time to cut up some of his excess strawberries for decorations. And used the remaining time to bathe.

***

2 hours passed, and Yuu finally took out his creation from the freezer. He already had prepared a steamed towel for an easy release of the mold.

Finally lifting the mold, revealed different types of shades of pink, all in a perfect circular line. This was further perfected by Yuu flattening out the sides of the cake.

Huffing in satisfaction, Yuu took out the pre-cut strawberries from the fridge and designed the top of the cake.

As he placed the finishing touches, a knock from the entrance was heard.

"Prefect~! I came to fetch you up for the Unbirthday Party!"

The familiar voice of Cater exclaimed, from outside.

"Wait just a bit, Cater-san!"

"Okie Dokie!"

Taking out a box that he had gotten from Sam's. He assembled the plain cardboard and placed the cake inside so that no outside elements could ruin the cake.

After all of that was done, Yuu made his way to greet Cater.

***

Yuu came to the Unbirthday Party holding a box and in a different set of clothing.

It turned out, that the reason why Cater came to get Yuu was because the Adeuce duo were busy painting roses and cleaning up... Well, The other Caters too...

The Heartslabyul students were so busy, that Cater needed to create multiple clones of himself so that he could personally get you.

***

"Hm? What is that Yuu?"

Rosehearts, who finally noticed the box on the table just in front of Yuu after the whole painting of the roses and tart failure shenanigans happened, questioned.

"Ah right! This is for you Rosehearts. A sorry cake for Ace's stupidity."

"Hey!"

"A cake?"

Rosehearts repeated ignoring Ace's outburst. Yuu handed the cake to Rosehearts, and the other boy accepted it with gratitude.

"Thank You, prefect."

"Didn't we agree that no helping him Yuu?!"

'You can bake henchman?!"

"I didn't help him bake an apology tart though? And yes Grim, I can bake."

"That's not what I meant!"

As Yuu and Ace exchanged some words, Rosehearts began to open the box. His eyes widened when he saw the cake inside.

"Woah..! You made this prefect?!"

Such an outburst was enough to catch everyone's attention of everyone. Now everyone's eyes were on the cake Yuu brought.

"Holy moly~! Now that's magicamable! Let me take a pic Riddle!"

Cater didn't even wait for Rosehearts's reply, as he was already all over the cake while taking different angled pictures.

"You could bake the whole time?!"

"Mow Ace-"

NO! You could have helped us immediately but nooo!"

Ace gripped both of Yuu's shoulders, as he shook them. Yuu didn't seem to care though, letting himself get shaken. Until Deuce stops him.

"Oh c'mon, Ace! Even if the prefect can bake, it wouldn't mean he can also bake tarts."

"Actually I can-"

"SEE! He could have helped US!!"

"Correction! YOU, he could have helped YOU. Not us, I nor Yuu had any ties with your punishment and had clearly no reason to help you for your mistakes."

Deuce who spoke, made Ace look at him in bewilderment.

"The hell you acting all mature n' stuff? You hit your head or something?"

"The hell-!?"

"Amazing..! Can you tell me how you made them prefect? If not it's fine."

"Nah, I can tell you, I'll even give you the recipe if you want."

"Really?! That'll be great! Thank You!"

As Ace and Deuce argued, Yuu and Trey were in their own world, Cater was done taking pictures and was already picking the greater-angled ones to post to Magicam.

Rosehearts amongst the loud crowd looked at the cake in awe. It was unlike any cake presentation he had seen. It looked so simple, yet alluring for him.

"Don't you want to try it Rosehearts?"

Yuu who spoke, snapped out Rosehearts from his own world. His eyes that once looked at the cake now looked up to the people, who looked at him for his answer.

"If ya don't want it, then I'll gladly have it! My henchman was the one to make it after all!"

Grim who was about to pounce on the cake was stopped by Yuu, who proceeded to scold him.

Seeing this, Rosehearts let out an amused huff, before taking a knife to cut a piece of cake to put on his plate. Placing the knife down, Rosehearts looked at his perfectly portioned piece for a second, before grabbing a fork to eat the cake with.

Everyone, most especially Yuu, waited in anticipation, as Rosehearts placed a piece of cake in his mouth.

Roseheart's eyes widened, the fresh taste of strawberry was very much welcomed. The cool temperature was also a refreshing treat for a sunny afternoon tea. The soft texture of the cream he had tasted, melted into his mouth despite the cool taste, and the crunchy underlayer only enhanced the flavor of it!

"Delicious! How did you bake such a cool and fresh-tasting cake prefect!? It is unlike any cake I've ever tasted!"

Rosehearts exclaimed as he stared into Yuu's eyes with genuine delight and curiosity. Yuu dare even say it sparkled like the night stars.

"Pff- Hahahahaha~! I'll tell you after the Unbirthday Party. I already promised Trey to tell him later too, so just enjoy the cake Riddle. You deserve it."

Riddle who was caught off guard by the sudden call of his first name only smiled.

"Okay, Yuu."

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Post-Credits Scene (Colorized)

Been wanting to draw a thing including that cursed MCU Peter photo for a while.

Tumblr ate the image in my last post so here it is again.

[ciderjacks]

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if he’d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldn’t have helped Falin,

theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didn’t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.

do y'all ever think about the fact that Wylan literally bet Kaz money that Jan wouldn't care if he died, and then went, "Pay up, Kaz." after Jan blew up the ship?? i love him so much he's such a smartass.

also i think about Wylan saying "Maybe you can pray to Ghezen for understanding, Father," when Jan was confused about the whole Kuwei situation about fifteen times a day. it's genuinely one of my favorite Wylan quotes like yes get his ass‼️‼️

[poebrey]

Imagine getting adopted after your parents were brutally murdered through circumstances that were seemingly your fault, being told that it was so you could serve as both an experiment (for your foster father to prove humans could follow Vulcan teachings) and a tool (for your foster brother’s development), seemingly failing both of them, then later being told by your foster mother who you thought you had a healthy relationship with that the reason you were given as much love and affection as you were when you were a child was because it had to be denied to the child she really wanted to give it to, her real child. Oh and that she thought you were the reason your family was falling apart. Michael is a better person than me because I would’ve said fuck everyone and taken a nap.

[serpentface]

WARDI TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

emense [ɛmɛnse] (eh-mehn-say)

Has meaning close to 'beloved' or 'darling'. "Ya emense" (meaning 'my beloved'/'my darling') is often contracted "y'mense".

bubuch [bubuk] (boo-bookh)

Somewhat of a nonsense word, basically ‘big-big’. Tends to either be used for small children or flirtatiously between adults (kind in between 'baby' and 'big boy' in functionality, though without gendered implications of the latter). Sometimes instead used as a form of intense condescension.

ya mache mes [ja mɑke mes] (yah mah-kay mace)

Functionally means "my other face", using the figurative word for face describing a concept of fundamental nature rather than anatomy. Very intense term of endearment, expresses the recipient as a core part of one's identity. Kind of equivalent to 'my other half' but not exclusively romantic.

ya tsitsima [ja ͡tsi͡tsimə] (yah tsee-tsee-muh)

Means "my blood". This term is used more broadly to denote familial relations, and is more of a term of endearment when used outside of actual biological relationship (calling your sister 'my blood' is just an intense way of saying 'my [relative]', calling a non-relative 'my blood' is VERY pointedly affectionate).

ya ungande [ja ungɑnde] (yah oon-gahn-day)

Often contracted to y'ungande, dead literally means "my liver" as in the organ. Ungande alone is also used as a food-based term of endearment, similar to 'honey' except instead with delicious organ meat.

anuje [ɑnudʒe] (ah-noo-jay)

Food based term of endearment, referring to a tree sap that is the most commonly used form of sweetener. Functionally identical to 'honey' in usage.

anu tlansekoma [ɑnu tlɑnsekoʊmə] (ah-noo tlahn-say-koh-muh)

This one actually means 'honey' (dead literally 'bee sweet'). Less common than 'anuje' as a term of endearment due to general cultural preference for anuje as a sweetener and the relative rarity of beekeeping.

inyagit [injəgit] (een-yah-geet)

Diminutive form of 'sun'. 'Ya inya' (my sun) occurs as well, but is less common.

y'mit agai [j'mit ɑgaɪ] (yuh-meet ah-gai)

Contraction of 'ya amit agai', 'my blue moon'. This specification is more common than a general 'my moon(s)' and is fairly loaded, given this particular moon is the site of the afterlife for the most honored dead. The phrase both suggests a sort of celestial beauty and a sense of being honored and finding rest in the recipient. This is a VERY intense and almost exclusively romantic term of endearment.

coutomara [koʊtoʊmɑrə] (koh-to-mahr-uh)

Means 'handsome' or 'beautiful', implies masculine attractiveness. (Dead literally closer to 'strong face'/'strong featured').

jaimara [dʒaɪmɑrə] (jaim-mahr-uh)

Means 'pretty' or 'beautiful', implies feminine attractiveness (dead literally close to 'beautiful face'/'beautifully featured').

katsuy [kɑtsui] [kaht-soo'ee]

Sexually charged description of physical attractiveness, basically calling someone 'sexy'.

ya katsuymen [ja kɑtsuimɛn] (yah koht-soo'ee-mehn)

Related and also sexually charged, close in meaning to 'my desire'.

at akmatse yachouy [ɑt ɑkmɑtse jɑtʃɔɪ] (aht ahk-mat-say yah-choi )

Sexually explicit term of endearment. The dead literal translation is "one who makes me flower". The word "flower" here is not as euphemistic in context and is rather the nicest sounding possible way to say "makes me cum (HARD)". Not considered vulgar, rather cloyingly romantic if anything.

gan(ne) ama [gɑn(e) ɑmə] (gah(-nay) ahm-uh)

Means 'bull'. When used affectionately, implies masculine strength. Usually used in conjunction with an adjective (ie 'handsome bull') or more teasingly gannit ama (little/baby bull))

jaimeti [dʒaɪmɛti] (jai-meh-tee)

Means 'gazelle' (the name for the animal itself is close in meaning to 'beautiful horn'), heavily associated with grace and beauty. Also tends to be used with adjectives ('lovely gazelle' 'handsome gazelle' etc) or with a diminutive.

ansiba [ɑnsibɑ] (ahn-see-bah) or ansibit [ɑnsibit] (ahn-see-beet)

Means 'duck' and 'duckling' respectively, specifically refers to the animal and implies cuteness. Ansibit is a very common term of endearment for children.

"Wannaukoma such datse anmo" [wɑnaʊkoʊmə suk dɑtse ɑnmoʊ] (wahn-now-koh-muh sookh daht-say ahn-moh)

Means 'an ant could swallow you', implies cuteness (ie the recipient is so small and tiny an Ant could devour them whole). Usually used on children, occasionally used on adult women (in a way that feels intensely patronizing to many). 'Datse' (you) may be replaced by the recipients surname or honorific in the rare case that someone would dare calling someone this without being on first name basis with them.

wannaukomit [wɑnaʊkoʊmit] (wahn-now-koh-meet)

Means 'little ant', a term of endearment that borders on insulting even to babies.

OTHER:

-it [it] (eet)

This is a diminutive modifier, which can be added to a name or other word/term of endearment to denote affection (can also be condescending). It lacks internal meaning in everyday use and is closer to the English -y or -ie (billy johnny rosie susie puppy kitty ducky etc).

hippe [hipɛ] (heep-peh) (some dialects drop the h sound entirely)

Means 'small' or 'little', can be spoken with other words/names as an affectionate diminutive.

Other epithets-

Various epithets used in the language are not exclusively used as terms of endearment, but can be contextually. Most commonly, this will be the -machen epithet of the recipients zodiac birthsign (particularly those considered auspicious). Someone with the lion birthsign could be respectfully and/or affectionately called 'odomachen', or VERY affectionately called 'ya odo' ('my lion'). There's also a good variety of poetic epithets that have worked their way into common language as affectionate compliments/descriptors- ie ganatoche (dead literally 'cow-eye', more prettily 'ox-eyed') is a complimentary descriptor for brown eyes, anaemaitsa (dead literally 'river-haired', more prettily 'flowing-haired') compliments wavy hair.

Given name basis-

In Wardi culture, full names are spoken with the family name preceding the given name. When respectfully speaking to a stranger, peer, or authority figure, you refer to them by their family name, title, and/or an honorific. Being on an accepted given name basis with someone is generally indicative of closeness and affection.

datse [dɑtse] (dah-tsay)

This is the word for "you". Similarly to the use of a given name, actually referring to someone as 'you' (rather than a surname, title, or honorific in place of the pronoun) expresses familiarity and intimacy.
