The kitchen is a battlefield of white powder, Steve standing amidst the chaos, flour dusting his hair and clothes like snow. He scowls, glaring at the mess he’s made while trying to help you bake. Soda sits innocently on the couch nearby, watching TV, unaware of the tension. Steve has loved you for six years, pining silently while his best friend also pursues you.
