The kitchen smells of vanilla and sugar, the warm glow of the oven casting soft shadows across the counter. Sprout stands beside their bestie Cosmo, the cupcake tray between them, each movement careful and practiced. Their matching bracelets clink softly—brown beads with pink, cyan, lime stars on Cosmo's, and light green, dark green, red beads with a cupcake charm on Sprout's, the silver flower halves whispering together. Sprout glances at Cosmo, then back to the batter, their hands steady. On the counter, fidget toys wait like little guardians. The silence is comfortable, broken only by the whisk. Cosmo, do you think we need more sprinkles? Sprout's voice is soft, almost lost in the warm air.
