Maple Cupcakes

Introduction

"Ello, poppet! What a lovely day to be moving here, in'it? Perhaps when you're finished, you could come in and have some tea!" A pink-haired male yelled to the sandy-haired boy moving in. "We'll see how much I get finished over here, I'd love to have some tea!" He younger boy replied, the pink-haired male yelling back over, "Okay!"

Matthew had finished much more than he expected on his own in such little time, he was impressed at himself. All he had to do was hang up his clothes and he was finished. However, he decided against doing that right at the moment, putting it on the back burner. He put his tennis shoes on, walking out the front door and walking next door to the man's house. He knocked on the door, tilting his head.

"Just in a tick!" The male inside called, Matthew hearing footsteps and then seeing the door open. The man up close very adorable looking. He had short pink hair, a short-sleeved sweater vest with a button-up shirt underneath, a blue bow tie, and navy blue slacks. "Why, hello poppet! Come in, please." The male opens the door, Matthew walking inside. "Thank you for having me, by the way..." Matthew told the male, and he smiled in a bubbly way. "It's no trouble, really. Oh butterscotch, I forgot to introduce myself. How rude of me! My name is Oliver Kirkland." Oliver smiles brightly, holding out hand for Matthew to shake, in which he did so. "Nice to meet you, Oliver... My name is Matthew Williams." He told him with a small smile. "So come with me to the living room, I have the tea ready." 

When they got to the living room, two glass teacups were sat parallel to each other. There was also a platter of individually designed cupcakes. "What kind of tea do you like? I have it all because I am a huge tea-drinker myself." Oliver explained, smiling. Matthew thought for a moment before knowing what kind of tea he wanted. "Do you have maple syrup flavored tea?" He asked. Oliver nodded with a smile. "Of course, I'll make some real quick. For now, you can have some cupcakes. There's some maple flavored ones in there two." He told the smaller male, going into the kitchen and humming a tune. "Thank you..." He told him, grabbing a cupcake. He took a bite, his eyes widening at the delicious taste. "Oh my maple... these taste great..." He said to himself. "Why thank you poppet!" Oliver said from the other room. He brought in the teapot, pouring tea into Matthew's cup. "Thank you, Oliver." He told him with a smile, which Oliver responded with a nod.

"So Matthew, you like maple flavored things?" Oliver asked, taking a sip his own tea. Matthew nodded. "Yes. I come from Canada, so there's a lot of maple flavored things there. Besides, maple does taste delicious." He explained with a giggle at the end of the last word. Oliver blushed lightly at the boy's cuteness. "Perhaps I should call you maple then?" Oliver asked with a smile. Matthew blushed at the name, but despite that, he nodded. "That's fine, I don't mind." He told him with a small smile. "You know, maple, you're so precious. I could just eat you up!" Oliver told him, which made Matthew's face turn red. "O-oh?" Was all Matthew could respond with, and Oliver just nodded, sipping his tea.
