Date 4.
"Your house?"
Minho nodded in afirmation at the repeat of what he had just said, swinging his backpack over his shoulder and joining Jisung at the door of his homeroom where the younger had been waiting.
"You've come over before, why do you look nervous." He leaned in with a cocky smirk making Jisung lean back in response "Do you like me back already?"
"A-as if." Jisung shoved Minho away and stormed ahead towards the school doors, Minho following closely behind.
~~~~~~~~~
"To be honest, I might decide to date you just because of your cats" Jisung giggled as doongie liked his nose gently and he rubbed his head gently against the cats, he looked up just in time to catch the hopeful glimmer in the elders eyes
"Don't take that seriously" He warned
Minho pouted and grumbled to himself but he would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying the sight of Jisung tenderly playing with his cats, booping their noses and shaking their toys for them, making excited childlike gasps every now and then.
"Thought i'd go for something simple" Minho breathed deeply through his nose as he heaved the big bag of flour onto the counter, once it was up he turned and grinned at Jisung who was sat on the sofa stroking dori
"Cookies!"
Jisung lept up from the sofa, scaring the cat who ran of into another room as Jisung scrambled across the open plan living space into the kitchen area, his socks caused him to slip and slid about on the smooth flooring and Jisung being Jisung he managed to bash his head really hard against the wall.
Minho just shook his head and called him an idiot but inside he was concerned and he rushed over to get an ice pack from the fridge and then over to Jisung
He crouched beside him and held it against the youngers head until he could hold it himself.
After making a few pained noises Jisung was in good enough spirits to continue teasing his hyung "You're really quite sweet aren't you, even though you pretend to be cool"
"Shut it" Minho grumbled, instantly regretting helping the younger, he instead walked over to counter again and threw an apron at him.
Jisung chuckled and heaved himself of the floor, rubbing his head and smacking the ice pack down on the counter.
He bounced to Minho's side and continued bouncing on the spot excitedly,
"Okay...." Minho said frowning at the recipe, "I think we have to mix all the dry ingredients first and then add the wet ones.."
He turned back to Jisung but the boy was far too impatient and had already started pouring flour into the bowl
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"
Jisung looked up and went '0-0'
"MEASURE IT FIRST YOU IDIOT"
His mouth formed a small 'o' and he started laughing, he sheepishly handed the flour back to Minho who set it down and pulled the scale towards himself, Jisung helpfully placed the bowl on top and watched as the elder carefully poured out the flour, stopping every now and again to check the number on the scale.
When he put down the flour and reached for the sugar Jisung reached a stealthy hand inside the flour bag and took a small amount in his fingers, as soon as Minho turned back around he got a face full of flour
"Pah!" he spat some out his mouth and shook his head like a dog, glaring at Jisung, angrily he shoved his hand inside the paket and took a massive handful, chucking it at Jisung who giggled and tried to run but still got covered.
He dashed back and grabbed the bag, chasing Minho around the counter and chucking bits at him, eventually he caught up to him and threw the entire bag on him.
Minho stood gaping for a moment before lunging at Jisung and trapping him in a hug, rubbing all the flour on his body into Jisung's clothes.
Jisung was laughing and shouting until he couldn't breath, trying to escape from Minho's strong grasp with no success, the cats even ventured over to see what was going on but left after giving the two of them judgey looks.
They eventually calmed down and shook themselves of like dogs, which basically got more flour all over the floor, walls and counters. It was ignored however and Minho handed Jisung a bowl and two eggs.
"Here, crack these into the bowls and whisk them."
Jisung nodded slowly and watched Minho go back to grinding butter and sugar together before awkwardly picking up an egg and dug into it with his thumb and then recoiled in an instant
"ew..." he complained and Minho set aside his current job with a huff, moving over to help, he stood behind Jisung and peering over his shoulder he placed his hands on the youngers,
"you seriously dont know how to crack eggs" he said, his soft warm breath fanning across Jisungs neck
this caused Jisung to stiffen slightly against his chest but he soon relaxed and let Minho guide his hands the pick up an egg, crack it on the side of the bowl and drop the yolk and white into the clear glass bowl.
Minho stepped away and let Jisung do the other egg by himself and whilst Jisung was grateful that he'd been taught how to do the task he kind of wished he and Minho could have stayed like that,
he cracked the egg and then in an attempt at getting Minho's attention again he held out the whisk with a pout, pretending he didnt know how to use it
much to his dismay Minho merely took it of him and started beat the eggs himself
Jisung just stood and stared as Minho's strong arms whipped the eggs up in no time,
"Your good at cooking huh..?"
"Stop drooling." Minho chided ignoring the question with a smug smirk as he handed the bowl back to jisung and pushed the dry ingredients over to him as well,
"Okay... it's very simple Jisung... just mix everything together okay?"
Five minutes later and Jisung had actually succeeded in mixing all the ingredients, forming little balls and squashing them into shape on a tray.
Minho slid on the oven mitts and placed the rack of cookies in the preheated oven, he faced Jisung with a proud grin on his face and placed both hands on his hips "We did it!...
...and now we clean!"
Cue load groans from Jisung, he even tried to run away but Minho grasped the cord of his apron and yanked him over to the sink handing him a cloth and giving him a head pat
"Just wipe down the surfaces, I'll do the dishes okay."
Jisung proceeded to wipe the walls and the floor and the counters and by the time he was done
Minho just smiled and handed him another plate, they stood washing the items in peaceful silence occasionally bumping shoulders with each other, and at some point Jisung began softly humming.
Once they where all washed Minho told Jisung to sit whilst he dried everything, and so the boy sat, continuing his humming and even softly singing a few lines whilst Minho gently swayed in time.
~~~~~~~~~
"Are they done yet?"
Minho sighed swatting at Jisung with a wooden spoon who just barely manged to move out of the way, he set down the spoon which was the last thing to be dried and rested his hip against the counter.
"That's the fifth time you've asked in the past ten minutes, there is literally only five minutes more"
Jisung shuffled himself into one of the island stools and leaned on the counter, swinging his legs dolefully "I dunno, just seems like they've been in for too long"
Minho lay his arm across the counter and rested his chin on his palm, smirking as he was face to face with Jisung, "Oh and your an expert are you?"
"H-hey!" Jisung mumbled "My mum taught me some stuff when I was like 7 okay"
"7" Minho raised a pointed eyebrow seeing as this proved his point, just at that moment the oven timer rang and he spun on his heel, siding the oven mitts onto his hands (husband material) and bringing out the beautiful rack of cookies.
"Well," He said making an approving look "They turned out quite well for someone who haunt been near a kitchen since he was 7"
Jisung slapped Minho's arm out of embarrassment and reached for a cookie but only ended up burning himself
"IDIOT, THEY'RE HOT OBVIOUSLY!!"
The second Jisung yelped in pain Minho grabbed his hand and yanked him of his stool over to the sink and shove his hand under hot water
"You're over reacting" Jisung snickered "I barely touched them."
"I don't care" Minho replied, he looked Jisung in the eye and the younger could feel a whole world of sincere care behind the gaze "I don't want you getting hurt." He whispered softly...
The two of them stayed staring at each other quietly, the only noise being the gentle stream of water.
That was until Jisung's grumbling stomach interrupted the moment, he giggled awkwardly and Minho broke the eye contact, pulling his hand from under the water to examine it closely,
"Ahh its fineeeee"
Minho didn't seem convinced, nevertheless he let go but not without whispering "Fine.. but look after yourself.."
~~~~~~
Once the cookies had cooled enough to eat Minho arranged them on a plate and brought them over along with two cups of fresh milk.
He sat by Jisung on the thick gray fluffy rug and placed the food between them, Jisung didn't hesitate to grab a cookie and bit into it with various approving noises.
Minho suppressed a giggle at the expression Jisung was making at the chocolate melting in his mouth.
As Dori crept by at the smell of the delicious warm cookies Jisung cooed and attempted to lure him with a piece of cookie
"Don't do that idiot" Jisung leaned back and pouted at this "Cat's cant eat that stuff"
Jisung made a face of understanding and went back to nibbling on cookies, stuffing his cheeks full of food so that they puffed out,
He gently shooed Doongie when the cat tried to come in for a swipe of the food and turned when he heard Minho giggling to his right,
"What?"
shaking his head Minho grinned "It's nothing much, it's just that you get along really well with them, it's nice to see
Jisung smiled and leant back against the coffee table that was behind him "By the way... thank you.."
"You had fun?"
"Yeah.. It was lots of fun."
