"get acquainted" ficlet

so i just think that they should bake together but also that, if they tried, it wouldn't go exactly as planned. so, enjoy husbands attempting to bake a cake together as things go slightly rogue

_______ _______ _______

“Why the hell are we doin’ this again?” Mickey questions as Ian is dragging him by the arm to the kitchen where all the baking supplies are laid out neatly on the counter.

“It’s a good way to get to know your neighbors and get acquainted” Ian hesitates, “I think. I dunno it was Fiona’s idea,” he waves his hand in the air as they settle in front of the counter.

“But I don’t wanna get acquainted. Who gives a shit if they like us or not?” Mickey whines, furrowing his eyebrows.

Ian turns to him, flashing those soft, gentle green eyes, “Mick, please? I think it would be fun to make a cake together, we’ve never baked together before, maybe we’ll like it,” he waves the cake box in front of him teasingly. Mickey takes in the sight, the green in his eyes especially prominent with the sunlight coming in through the window, shining on Ian’s face in a way that has Mickey practically mesmerized. The stupid closed-mouth smile and pleading eyes he flashes when he wants something.

“Fuck, fine.” Mickey says grumpily, “Hate when you gimme those stupid-ass puppy dog eyes,” he mumbles as he gathers the supplies in the center of the counter. 

“Mhm, sure you do,” Ian says, a complacent grin on his face as he heads to the fridge to fetch the eggs.

“Okay so,” Ian turns on his heels towards Mickey, before stopping his train of thought, “Mick don’t put your fucking fingers in the icing. We haven't even made the damn cake yet,” he sighs, yanking the tub away from Mickey, “Plus that’s gross.”

Mickey tilts his head in offense at the confiscation of his icing, “Oh come on, fucking whatever,” he says through a mouth full of chocolate frosting, “I happen to recall you thinking very highly of my fingers last night.” He lifts his eyebrows up-and-down in succession as Ian’s eyes roll to the back of his head. 

Mickey turns back towards the counter, picking up the cake-mix box and reading it carefully, “Okay so it says-” he’s cut-off by Ian smearing a large heaping of icing across his forehead and nose.

“Shit,” Ian says sarcastically, “Accident. Sorry,” he shrugs, suppressing a laugh that crawls up his throat.

“Oh you motherfucker-” Mickey raises his voice, grabbing the other tub of icing on the counter, “You’re going down, Gallagher. You are going the fuck down.”

Ian looks on with fondness at Mickey’s grin, the one where his mouth is open, all his teeth and part of his gums showing…the one that melts Ian from the inside-out, a complete puddle on the floor. It’s as if sunlight beams from him when he flashes that smile, like all of Ian’s worries or sorrows disappear in that moment. Fuck, he loved him.

He snaps himself back to reality, remembering to stay on guard as Mickey was on the prowl with a tub of chocolate icing, spitting multiple threats back-to-back. However, he finds himself just wanting to be closer to him, so he lays his weapon to rest, stepping in towards him.

“Oh? And if i surrender?,” he says roguishly, biting down lightly on his bottom lip as he yanks Mickey closer by the hips.

Mickey pretends to cave, succumbing to Ian’s touch, “Mmh?” he teases before sneak-attacking Ian and smearing an even bigger handful all across his face. 

“Oh my go- you're an asshole,” Ian beams, moving his hand to touch the glob of frosting coating his skin.

“Takes one to know one, bitch-” Mickey is cut-off by Ian breaking the distance between them. He grabs the back of Mickey’s head and brings him in for a messy kiss as both of their lips are still covered in the thick layer of the frosting they used to declare war on one another.

Ian shoves Mickey against the counter, lifting him up slightly onto its surface as his icing-decorated hands travel all over his body. Mickey pulls away slightly, satisfied with his ability to completely deter Ian from their original task, “Still wanna make that cake,” he kisses Ian’s neck, “Get acquainted?” another kiss, “Got a little off-task there, huh?” he flashes a smug smile, implying his knowledge of just how goddamn irresistible Ian finds him. 

“You’re the fucking worst,” Ian chuckles, looking around at the mess they made of the kitchen and each other before they press their lips together through stifled laughs.

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

Prompt:

Jason insists on being the bait for a joint mission with the Bats. But the moment he starts “screaming” during the interrogation process, Batman calls the whole thing off and smashes right through the window and into the first thug.

Absolutely nobody is surprised by this development. Except Jason.
