Saiki was going to do it. He anxiously watched the clock on the wall.
Tick... Tick... Tick...
Good. Only one minute. He watched the clock carefully, shooting up from his seat when the bell rang. Saiki darted out the classroom, leaving Kaoru and Hikaru speechless. Good! I avoided the two nuisances! The pink haired boy ran down the hallway. Sometimes I forget how big this school is... He sprinted up the carpeted stairs and eventually came to a halt. He took a second to catch his breath before opening the door. Finally...
The baking club! Amazing... It's so extravagant. Imagine all the sweets I can bake... He begins searching through the beautiful cabinets full of spices, flavorings, expensive syrups, powders, and all kinds of toppings. Soon after, he's looking inside the pretty ovens, and soon enough, he is standing in front of one of the fridges. Due to the Host Club, I've never really had time to actually use the baking club, but I might just start coming here after school every day. Saiki smiled. It doesn't seem like a bad idea. Placing two hands on the double handles, he opens. Saiki is immediately blinded by the most exquisite looking sweets he has ever seen. Devil's food cake, strawberry shortcakes, triple chocolate chip cookies, and all different assortments of sweets carefully handmade and placed in a beautiful order.
Shit, I almost started drooling. Saiki shuts the door when he heard scrambling. What is... He catches a cloaked man digging through the cabinets.
"...Hey, what are you looking for?" The guy jumps and hides behind a counter. Saiki sweat dropped. Suspicious. I don't want to get involved with that. I'll just ignore him. Saiki looks into a different fridge and finds the ingredients to make a crepe. The last time I tried to make crepes was in PK Academy, and to no one's surprise, it ended in disaster. I'm still upset I didn't get to eat a crepe that day. Wait, who even was that guy? Saiki turns his head and catches the cloaked man staring at him. The man flinched again. Good grief, he's so jumpy.
"Who are you?" Saiki tilted his head.
"Could you... close the curtains?" The strange man asked. Saiki nodded and closed the curtains, waiting for him to explain. "My name is Nekozawa... I am the president of the Black Magic Club." Oh. That's underwhelming. Saiki simply nodded, deciding he didn't care. "You were curious as to why I was here, right?" Not really. "Well, I was only looking for grape wine to perform my ritual." What kind of ritual requires the use of wine? Well, whatever. You can do what you want. Saiki ignored the man and started by cracking eggs into a bowl. He then added milk, flour, sugar, and melted butter. Saiki mixed until he got the...
Perfect batter. He smiled. Good. Taking a large skillet, he turned on one of the many stoves and placed it on top. Saiki melted butter onto the pan and poured in the batter.
20 minutes later...
Bam. The perfect crepes. Saiki was proud of his creation. It looks so good. And I have enough for everyone. He hears shuffling behind him.
"You're still here?" Nekozawa stands up with a bottle of wine.
"Um... yeah..." He clutches the bottle with two hands.
"Oh... would you like a crepe?" Saiki asks while holding up the beautifully decorated plate. Nekozawa blinks.
"Sure..." He reached for a crepe and took a bite. Saiki watched expectantly. "Saiki... it's delicious! The flavor totally melted onto my tongue!"
"I see. That's good then." The psychic smiled. "Oh, I should go now. Bye."
"Bye, Saiki..." Saiki nodded before walking out of the room, plate in hand.
Saiki used his free hand to open the large doors to the Host Club.
"I'm here. I was in the baking club." Saiki walks in. Kaoru sprinted to Saiki.
"Saiki! We were so bored without you, and Haruhi was being mean!" He pitifully exclaimed. I could care less. "Huh, what's that in your hand?" He questioned. Hikaru quickly came over too.
"They're crepes. Take one." He stated holding up the plate.
"Okay! Thanks Saiki!" They said in unison and each took a crepe, biting into it at the same time. Everything is so scarily coordinated and timed perfectly, their movements are literally mirrored.
"How is it?"
"I think I just tasted heaven..." Hikaru blushed. 'Seriously, unreal!'
"Yeah... No way." Kaoru takes another bite. 'This taste is enough to bring tears to my eyes!'
"I'm glad." The psychic smiled. 'He's adorable...' The twins couldn't help but hug the pink haired boy, much to his dismay. Eventually, everyone else surrounded the psychic. Haruhi, Tamaki, Honey, and Kyoya held the crepes in their hands before simultaneously biting into it. Delicious!
"Wow, Saiki! These are amazing! It tastes as if my chef made them!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"Yeah, this is the best crepe I've ever eaten!" Haruhi smiles.
"These have a taste that are truly unique from any other. It tastes pure and sweet, like it was made with care." Kyoya smiled before taking out his notepad to write something down. That was a big compliment. Honey already finished eating his crepe before jumping over to Saiki.
"Ku-chan! Can you make other sweets?!" Honey hugged Saiki's leg.
"No, I only know how to make crepes."
...
"There's no way the only thing you know how to make is crepes!" Tamaki shouted making Saiki sweat drop. It's not, but I don't want you to bother me with anything... Saiki just nodded.
"It is." Sorry, Honey. He mentally apologized before patting the blondes hair.
"No way!" Tamaki cries before pointing at Saiki. "Tomorrow, I want you to bake for the Host Club!" Good grief. How do I always manage to get dragged into things like this? Saiki accepted his fate once more and nodded. He noticed Mori standing beside him. Oh, right.
"Mori." Saiki shows him the plate with one crepe remaining. "For you." Mori nods and takes the crepe in his hand. Honey and Saiki both watched intently as Mori bit into the delicious treat. What does he think?!
"Mm." Mori pat Saiki's head. Well?! "It's delicious, Saiki." This bought out a smile from the psychic. That made me weirdly happy. But I'm glad he likes it. Saiki had a warm blush on his face.
"Saiki."
"Mm? What is it?" Saiki looked up at Mori.
"You didn't get one, right? You can have mine."
"Really?" Mori didn't miss the way Saiki's eyes lit up.
"Mm." He nodded, holding the crepe up to the psychic's mouth. He's so nice. Saiki thinks before taking a bite. It truly is amazing.

The next day, after school, Saiki found himself standing inside the baking club. I got it. After seeing the devil cake from yesterday, it's all I've been craving. But not everyone prefers chocolate, so I'll just make a strawberry shortcake too. Okay! Saiki began making the cakes. He had one hour, which was perfectly fine since he was, after all, a psychic. But Saiki wasn't stupid, he remembered to take his ring off and make sure the club was clear before using his powers.
One hour later...
Done. The perfect devil food cake and strawberry shortcake! I could drool... Saiki quickly grabbed the cakes and set them on two trays. He rushed out of the club and ran to the Host Club, using his foot to kick open the doors.
"Ku-chan's back!" Honey exclaimed while running up to the psychic. "I'll help you Ku-chan!" Honey took a tray and ran it to a table, Saiki followed behind.
"Wow! It looks like it came from a bakery!" Hikaru pointed out.
"Just as I thought! It looks like we have a backup baker on our hands!" Tamaki says cooly. It wasn't cool at all. Everyone sat down with a slice of their choice, Honey and Saiki both had a slice from each cake. They all began eating.
"Saiki..." Tamaki blushed with tears running down his face.
"It's delicious!!" Kaoru cried. Such crybabies. But I have to agree, this really does taste amazing... Saiki closed his eyes and indulged in the sweet chocolate flavors coating his tongue. He felt like he was floating. Seriously, it's so delicious... He licked the spoon when he was done, opening his eyes to see everyone staring at him. Are you kidding me...
"What?" He just wanted to finish his dessert in peace.
"Nothing..." Tamaki says before taking a spoonful of cake into his mouth. Good grief.
"Takashi!" Honey called. "Ahh!" He holds a spoon up to the dark haired man's mouth.
"Ahh," Mori bites down on the spoon. 'Sweet.' Hmm... Saiki takes a piece of cake from his portion and holds it up to Honey's mouth.
"Honey, ahh." Honey gives a big ahh before biting down on the spoon. So cute... Saiki feels bubbly inside. Bubbly? Someone kill me. I don't enjoy their company.
"Saiki." The pink haired boy looks up, staring blankly into Mori's eyes. "Say ahh."
"Ahh..." Saiki bites the spoon. Good! He licks his lips. 'Shortcake.'
