05: Atsushi Murasakibara

Dating Murasakibara Atsushi meant dealing with his endless appetite and his incredible laziness. Since he loved your baking, you figured making snacks together would be a fun idea.

One cold winter afternoon, while walking home from school, you decided to ask him.

“Atsushi, wanna bake something with me?”

He thought about it for a moment before answering.

“No. Too much work.”

“But you love snacks!”

“Yeah. Eating them is easier. Baking's messy, too.”

You pouted, tugging on his sleeve and begging him repeatedly until he finally let out a long sigh.

“Fineee. Just stop begging.”

Your face lit up as you dragged him toward your house.

— A little later —
Your kitchen counter was covered in ingredients for homemade cookies. You happily organized everything while Murasakibara stood beside you, looking half-asleep with a lollipop in his mouth. You grabbed an apron and handed it to him.

“Atsushi, put this on me!”

He reluctantly took it, draping it over your shoulders before tying the strings around your waist. His large hands fumbled with the knot for a moment before he finally finished.

“There. Happy?”

“Very!” You smiled before tying your own hair up. “Now we can start!”

He leaned on you, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind rocking you gently.

“Can we eat the cookies already?”

“We haven't even mixed anything!”

“Too much work,” he mumbled, leaning down to rest his chin on your head.

You laughed before handing him a mixing bowl.

“Come on, help me!”

With another dramatic sigh, he finally started mixing the ingredients while you prepared the rest. Every so often, you'd catch him sneaking chocolate chips from the counter.
