Bakery Love

Genshin impact, modern baker au, reader´s family owns(and works at) a bakery + reader works there, gn!reader

characters: Tighnari, Albedo, Kazuha, Cyno, Nilou, Xiao x gn!reader

Warnings: kissing, baking(duh), romantic relationship (+ planoinic in some but not with the main), kissing, , tell me if i missed anything

Note: I'm sorry if there´s any mistakes, english is not my first language and this is not prof-read yeah enjoy ;) and it feels so weird to write for Nilou when the rest is men, i didn´t think abt that. luv you all, mwah ;)

Tighnari

i feel like he would be there to get a birthday cake for Collei, (im sorry it just sounds too cute) and you were at the front desk in your apron talking to a customer, when he walked in and ordered. you looked at him, asked what he would like and wrote a note down so you could remember - he ordered a "healthy" cake with green frosting on one side and red on the other with Cuilein anbars on the green side and baron bunnies on the red side. and then he also leaves his number woth the order bc he thinks your cute so you start to become friends. anyway, thats how you met onto when you start dating

you would come over to his house after your shift, or when you both have time, and bring him some baked goods for him and Collei/i feel like they would live together in a modern au, like Tighnari would still be her caretaker, just like in the game/. you and Tighnari would definitely bake together, and you would teach him how to bake certain pastries and stuff, and Collei/+Cyno maybe/could join if they wanted to (it would be so cute wtf). i also think he would be like a florist or smt, like he owns a flower shop, so he would bring you flowers or just plants in general. so the bakery would have a lot of plants that he´s given you. and your family (lovingly) hates him because where tf are they gonna put all these fricking flowers and stuff he gets you every week. tho their happy for you and they also got free decor for the bakery so they don´t really complain.

to him you´re like a rose, beautiful, even if sometimes you sting, he adores you just as much

Albedo

he was just there to study at first, maybe get some coffee and a piece of cake, when he saw you behind the counter he kinda.. uhm.. fell in love at first sight, yeah... anyway now/because of your beauty/he is there studying more often or when you´re there to be exact. your sibling or parent called it out but you denied it and didn´t think much of it. and then he finally asked for your number

when you finally start dating, he would still study at your bakery but it´ll be a little more often. and not only on your shifts but on other family members too, mainly bc he wants to get to know them better. he also brings his little sister, Klee, with him more often so she can meet you and your family + see the bakery. he also would make some artificial things for you, like flowers and stuff, you could either put in your room or around the bakery. yk the flower he makes in his idol or whatever its called, so like one of those or just anything you want really. he could also paint there, but he´ll just start painting you and he doesn´t want other people to think he´s stalking you.

to him you´re like a painting, pretty in many ways, and perfect in his eyes

Kazuha

he would visit the bakery once in a while, finding it relaxing to be there and finding great inspiration for his poems and stories. and something he has noticed is the beautiful person that is sometimes behind the corner/you hehe/and starts to slowly become his muse. he couldn´t help it its like keeping a secret from someone, but sharing it with the world at the same time. he finds himself going to the same place over and over again, only wanting to see your face one more time. (wtf happened to me) while he was unknowingly falling in love with this new muse, you were falling for him. (ok i need to fricking stop, omg)

when you two finally started dating, he still kept you as his muse, but this time you were both aware and laughed a little together because of it. anyway he would be there even more to just sit and write about something, then later in the day/or week if you both were busy/he would read them out to you. and at some point you would start giving him notebooks every few months just so he could write his poetry on something other than the tissues from the bakery(omg that would be so cute and hilarious at the same time). in return he would gift you your favorite flowers and try and learn to bake, even tho its not perfect he tries and you love it. sometimes you´ll bake something with him and teach him properly how to do something/or do it the way your family does it/and then after you eat it together.

to him you're a miracle, your his love, his life, and his muse, he doesn´t know what to do without you now

Cyno

he´s a policeman (the hot kind) and there was an incident with your neighbor bc their store got robbed/in my mind it's a jewelry store but let your mind go wherever/so you got a few questions since you were on your shift at the time they came in. but you then after went into the back/your home to get your parents. and then after he started showing up more both because of the situation but also because he generally liked your pastries and cakes. even after the case ended he still came over on a lot of all of his breaks, maybe it was sometimes to see you but you ofc didn´t need to know that ;)

so when you guys started dating, he would ofc still come over but also look out for you, your family, and the bakery. also in his free time/even tho its not often/he would "help" you with baking. aka your teaching him how to bake bc he can´t for the life of him, but he brags to his friends abt it "cough". anyway, he would love to try some new recipes you find online or in your family cookbook, and help as much as he can. if you made him some pastries for him to take with him to work, he would fall even more `head over heels` in love with you, seriously do it. he would definitely stop anybody that tries to steal anything from the bakery, and get them arrested immediately.

to him your love is like a drug, addicting, but even if he knows it he will still love you for eternity

Nilou

yk the cake she eats in game, that would definitely be the reason you two met. like it would be in the bakery´s window or smt and she would order that with a smile, while you where on your shift ofc. and she would get all exited and stuff. + she thinks the way you and your family make it is much better, so she´s basically a reguler bc she orders at your bakery so often. and then she starts to fall in love with one of the bakers there (you), and so she tries to find out when your shift is and stuff. (my brain couldn´t stop sry, that was a lot)

anyways, when you start dating she would definitely want to try and learn the recipe and bake it with you, but ofc she needs practice so she´ll eat your portion at the start, but you can´t complain you´ve literally done this your whole life ofc you´re better. she´d also want to meet your family early on bc you told her about some baking days when you test new recipes and stuff, so she´d be the taste tester and give tips if she could. aand you would give her discounts for some kisses. she would also dance in the bakery, with you and your family´s content ofc, so she could attract customers with her beautiful dancing.

to her you´re like cake, has many flavors, not all perfect but to her you are too perfect to enjoy only once

Xiao

i see him getting dragged there by some friends/yk aether, venti, kazuha, heizou and then scara is getting dragged there too. so basically 6rezze(sry if thats wrong) or 5wirl, but they aren´t famous/and they drag him to your bakery. bc they wanted to try the cakes and stuff. and your the one behind the counter(idk if thats a good thing or not, but ig it was?). and so you had to deal with some boys yelling at each other while one of them was completely silent/xiao/he just ordered and explained what the rest/but not for heizou, kazuha cuz i feel like they would already have ordered/you just got the pastries and cakes they ordered, and they then sat down seeming to calm down.

after you started dating he wouldn´t come to the bakery often, but he´ll definitely come over like once a week/before was like once or twice a month/and he won´t order much but is just there to support you. otherwise, if he comes to the bakery he´ll just go straight to the back to see you/they know who he is ofc, but for first-time workers that might be weird/and he would be a little sad if you were too busy to give him attention. if you give him some non-sweet cake or pastries he´ll love you even more(i swear thats impossible). he´ll also feed you, and let you feed him in return. if you want him to learn how to bake he´ll do it, but only if you teach him ofc. so there you are in your kitchen with xiao, trying to teach him to bake the non-sweet cake he likes.

you´re like the cakes you make, sweet, although he doesn´t normally like sweet things, he loves you more than anything else

Author: the sweet things at the end of each one, omg how tf did i come with those aaaaahhhh i´m freaking out right now. also if you want me to do more of these pls tell me + the characters you want in it.

thank you for reading, luv ya-Masterlist

Part three of the baker AU, introducing Baker! Bi-Han!

As the first son, Bi-Han inherited the bakery from his father. He works as the store manager, but he started out like a baker, just like the rest of his brothers. He grew up knowing that when he was of age he was going to take over the shop, a task which he graciously accepted. He wasn’t the most excited about it, but if not him, who else? Like hell he was going to trust Tomas and Kuai Liang to do it.

Over the years the bakery’s reputation has also instilled a deep sense of pride, and despite his grievances he actually does run the shop well, the back wall decorated with an array of various awards. It’s the one part of the shop he can safely say he enjoys looking at, if only to stroke his ego before he goes back to managing the back of the house.

Kuai Liang has noticed that recently he’s been in a more foul mood, and he thinks it’s because he’s no longer a baker, instead of being behind an oven he now spends his time behind a desk. In Tomas’s own words, stagnancy has done Bi-Han no favors.

“Come now, you have to lighten up a little!” The younger brother says, wiping his hands on his apron.”

Bi-Han only scoffs in response, fixing Tomas with an ever-present scowl. “Unlike you, I do not make it a habit to get distracted at work. Idle hands do no one any favors.”

He can hear Kuai Liang sigh behind him. “If you’re talking about our newest regular—“

He stops his brother before he can say another word. “Do try to remember that our duty comes first.”

Yes, in Bi-Han’s eyes idle hands do no favors, especially when you are the source.

He catches you talking to Tomas and Kuai Liang a couple times, just standing back and watching them fawn over you, arms crossed as he silently judges you from across the store. You’re just a girl to him, one who’s managed to distract his brothers somehow.

Needless to say, he’s not impressed. He doesn’t understand how you’ve caught the eye of his siblings until he actually talks to you for the first time.

For one reason or another, the two are out for the day so Bi-Han’s running the front of the house. You’re not gonna lie, he intimidates you. An ever-present scowl on his face, just his size and sheer stature make you feel like an ant standing next to him. You’ve circled the store at least four times before he finally cuts through the red tape.

A gruff voice calls out as you look at the brownies for the fifth time today. “Are you going to order or do you enjoy running laps around my store?”

You turn around quickly, looking at the tall man timidly. You get the sense that his temper is on a short fuse, a far contrast from the other two employees.

“I will, I’m just thinking—“

“You’ve been at that same display five times now.”

No nonsense, he calls you out with no hesitation and you’re finally forced to greet the mysterious stranger at the counter.

“It is about time,” he utters, hands on the counter. “I was beginning to think you would never leave.”

You’re not sure what you’ve done wrong, but he doesn’t seem to like you. You decide to get your order as fast as possible to save the both of you any trouble.

“I think I’ll have the m&m brownies,” you say, reaching into your bag for your wallet. “Tomas recommended them to me last time I came here—“

“He did, did he?” He interrupts. You freeze as if you’ve said something wrong.

A huff of laughter escapes the stoic man. “A juvenile choice. I’m not surprised coming from Tomas.”

Only slightly peeved at his jab towards your new friend, you ask: “What would you recommend then?”

A raise of his eyebrow, as if to silently judge you, and then he answers. “What I would recommend is not on our menu.”

He goes on to list off the ingredient and baking process and with how fancy it sounds it makes you question on whether or not you can afford it. You guess your confusion is written plain on your face because after a while he stops, tells you to “stay here” and leaves. He soon returns with a tiny dish in his hand and places it on the counter.

It turns out for all his posturing that it’s an apple tart. A rather fancy apple tart, but still an apple tart nonetheless. Shaped like a rose, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, you’d be a liar if you didn’t say it didn’t look good.

“Oh wow, that’s...”

“Much better than a brownie, isn’t it?”

A look is exchanged between the two of you, and beneath his callous exterior you think you see...pride?

You buy it, a decision the man in front of you seems to approve of.

“A wise choice.”

From the first bite you actually like it, a lot. It tastes as good as it looks, flaky and crunchy and oh so sweet, you say as much and it’s like you can physically witness his chest puffing out, voice like gravel as he speaks.

“I should hope so, I made them after all.”

“You did?” You ask. “I didn’t know you were a baker too.”

“Formerly,” he says with a hint of frustration. “I own the store now. I let my brothers handle that responsibility.”

Your ears perk up at that. “Brothers? So you’re related to Kuai Liang and Tomas?”

“I am.”

It’s silent for a moment, but with a sigh he puts his hand forward. “My name is Bi-Han, the eldest.”

You shake his much larger hand in your own, not shocked that his grip is firm. You try to respond in kind but the attempt only amuses him, barely a smirk gracing his features.

“I’ve seen you before, talking to my brothers,” he begins, opening the register. “You have a great talent for distracting them.”

You grow more embarassed by the second. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—“

“Do not blame yourself. Their faults are theirs alone.”

He rings you up and hands you back your change. Before you leave you leave Bi-Han with a final message.

“Thanks for the apple tart! If it means anything, you should try baking again.”

The door closes just as he turns to look at your form leaving the store. He never thought about it, but the look of enjoyment you had while eating his food...when was the last time he felt that proud?

He looked to his awards, then looked to the plate where the tart once stood, barely any crumbs left after you had devoured it.

Maybe this new girl has some taste after all.

Modern Steddie AU with Baker!Steve and Rockstar!Eddie

Steve likes baking as a side hobby on top of his job and decides to do tiktoks of him showing his recipies to teach other people and to just bake mindlessly and post about it because it is therapeutic for him.

He ends up getting a following from his content, some liking his voice and his aesthetic and vibes, others learning his recepies and dueting them with their results which he always comments praise on. No matter what. If someone took time out of their day to try to replicate something that he made, then he always leaves them a little comment, and it always immediately improves his day.

Others follow him because of his looks, he normally wears tight shirts, tshirts and trousers while he bakes. Arms flexing when he mixes or kneads the dough.He does an obligatory ass shot when he bends over to put his goods in the oven to bake. And a lot of people follow for that. Robin teased him that it would help get a following, and hey she wasn't wrong about it. Even if she made fun of him for actually doing it.

He posts another tiktok of him showing people how to easily bake bread in their own home and doesn't think anything of it until he scrolls through the comments and ends up finding a band replying to him with.

"Would rather have a bite of your cake, if you catch my drift?" With a peach emoij.

Steve ends up finding out that apparently Corroded Coffin's lead Singer and Guitarist forgot to change to his private account and commented on his band's account.

Steve strikes up the confidence to message CC's main account. "You can have a bite of my cake if you take me to dinner first."

They are seen on a date the next week.

Neuvithesley/Wriolette Baker AU

Wriothesley owns a bakery, a quaint little place in a small neighbourhood. The people are friendly and life was great. Then one day, a guy dressed in a fine suit walked into his shop to buy a bottle of water and nothing else. Wriothesley put it off as just a one time weird occurrence except the guy came back again the next day to buy a bottle of water and nothing else.

Who is this gentleman dressed in fine clothes that were probably worth more than twice of anything he earned in a month? Why the heck does he only buy a bottle of water? And from a bakery of all places?

For a Wedding Cake ~ *Ran Haitani*

Summary: Ran has come to you to bake a wedding cake. As your ex-boyfriend, you find the request a little odd. But his next request is even stranger...

Pairing: Ran Haitani X G/N!Reader

Genre: Angstyish Drabble

Word Count: 578

Warning: Ran is a bit OOC (but what is canon when you can have hot anime boys do your bidding? Just saying)

Masterlist

You knew it was going to be a good day when you took your apple pie out of the oven. It was flaky, golden brown perfection! You couldn’t help the self-satisfied smile as you placed it in the display case. Sure, things were slow at the bakery right now, but it was only the morning. Traffic would pick up in the morning, you were sure of it.

As you got to work on making some almond apple butter cookies, the bell above the front door to the bakery rang. You flashed a bright smile before it fell into a frown. What was he doing here?

“Aw, did you miss me?”

“Go away, Ran.”

“You should work on your customer service skills.” He tsked. “You’ll scare away all of your customers with that attitude.”

Rolling your eyes, you asked, “What do you want this time? I’m not making you some extravagant order on a ridiculous time schedule, just so you can complain again.”

He shook his head. “Nope, nothing like that. Just wondering if you can whip up a wedding cake in three months?”

You paused, taken aback. Sure, Ran was your ex-boyfriend from back when you were kids, but it still surprised you that he would ask you. I mean, you were frenemies but wouldn’t it be better if he went to someone else for this kind of request?

Nodding, you said, “Congratulations. I can-”

“Oh, no, I’m not getting married!” He assured you quickly. “It’s for Rindou. I’m just the best man, so I’m helping with some of the things on their list. The bride has had your cupcakes before and I said I knew you, so she asked me to ask you. That’s all.”

Well, that explained a lot. Again, you nodded. “Oh, right. Well, I think I can do something for the couple. Do they have any requirements or ideas to work off of?”

“Oh, um…” Ran fished a small notepad out of his pocket. “She gave me this.”

Scanning the list, you were pleasantly surprised. Wedding cakes tended to be either overly specific or way too broad. This couple had some concrete ideas with enough room for creativity. What they were asking for wasn’t going to be too much trouble on your end. It probably wasn’t Rindou’s idea though. He seemed like the way too broad kind of person.

“Yeah, I can do this for them. It’d be my pleasure. Just give me a date and time you’d like to pick it up and I’ll have it done by then.” You told him.

“Thanks Y/n! You’re a lifesaver!”

“I wouldn’t go that far.” You snorted.

There was a brief pause before Ran added, “You know, I am allowed to bring a plus one. If you want to come, that is.”

Again, you were caught off-guard. You were exes, as in past lovers. If you were to take a plus one to a wedding, you would take a current lover or a close friend. Not someone who you used to be romantically involved with. And Ran would have plenty of options.

So why would he choose you? Were you really that special to him? It didn’t really matter either way. The whole situation was just odd.

However, you never could say no to those puppy dog eyes of his, could you?

With a sigh, you answered him, “Well, it’s three months away right?”

“Yeah. So you’ll think about it?’

“I’ll think about it.”

Some baker!din thoughts I had while talking with @pedrito-friskito also I wrote this on my phone so pls don't expect much

Din wakes up early, opens up the shop, and starts working on the dough. He feels the strain in his biceps as he works the dough, the heat from the ovens causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead. After putting them in the oven, he briefly locks up and helps grogu ready for school.

He also serves coffee and has a couple of tables scattered about but the coffee is mostly for his own benefit, he needs the caffeine but refuses to believe he has any kind of addiction to it.

Din's favorite moment in the mornings is when you stop by. You’re his first customer every morning so that means he’s still working on baked goods.

When you enter the shop one morning he's working on donuts and filling them up with delicious made-from-scratch cream

He loves it when you walk in because the way you gawk at him is priceless. It's an ego boost he didn't ask for but very much appreciates. He can feel the way your eyes rake along his damp skin, following up to his neck and stopping at his face—That's usually when you greet him.

You think he doesn’t notice your eyes lingering which Din finds adorable

Then your eyes drop back to his hands— it’s always the hands. It might be mean of him but he makes a special effort in plunging the nuzzle of the pastry bag into the donuts and squeezing them until cream overflows.

In those moments Din swears that he can hear your pulse.

You walk up to him shyly asking for coffee and— surprise surprise— a donut. He grins as he hands you both, not missing the way your fingers linger over his knuckles

When you leave Din knows that you’re about to snap, wound up like a toy ready to let loose.

He can’t wait for that to happen.

This is the story of how it all began between the baker and you.

…

The second you stepped into the bakery at five A.M running on three hours of sleep you were a goner. How was anyone supposed to resist a hot man with his sleeves rolled all the way up his muscled forearms elbow deep in a mound of dough? You stood rooted to the spot, just inside the front door long after the last chime of the entry bell had faded, just staring at the most perfect man you’d ever seen. From his short dark hair to his soft parted lips he was an absolute knockout, and that was before you even got to his muscles.

Every time he kneaded the dough his forearms would flex, showing off absolutely mouthwatering muscles and tendons, not to mention the breathtaking tattoo that covered his entire left arm. With how exhausted you were you had no defense against his perfect existence and the added warm light and heavenly smell of baking bread was making the whole experience feel like a scene from a romance novel. You knew you were gawking at him as he worked the dough back and forth on the prep table but you couldn't look away. Your only saving grace was the fact that he hadn't seemed to notice your arrival, his head bowed and his thick eyebrows knit in concentration.

There was a jingle behind you and you almost jumped out of your skin as you were forcibly ripped from your heart eyed trance. Quickly you stepped aside, your blood pounding from embarrassment and surprise as you tried to kickstart your frazzled brain into functioning again. An absolute hunk of a man who was all broad shoulders and blue eyes stepped into the bakery and grinned at you.

“Hi! Sorry we’re not actually open yet but if you give me a moment I’ll be right with you.” Your brain was too confused and overwhelmed to come up with a normal answer so you just gave him a smile and a nod even as he turned away and hurried behind the front counter. You stood awkwardly by the door, your hands gripping your purse strap like it was the only thing keeping you from bolting. The new man jabbed the dark haired beauty in the ribs as he passed, making him jump and scowl at him as he removed a previously hidden earbud. And although their conversation wasn't meant for you, you could clearly hear what was said.

“I swear Bucky, one day you’re going to leave the front door unlocked and someone’s going to rob us blind.”

…

From then on every time you came in your eyes were drawn to Bucky. He always had his head bowed as his perfect hands mixed and poured and cut whatever he was making that day. His flour dusted apron was the only messy part of him as he poured over his delicious creations.

He never said anything to you, although sometimes he’d catch you watching him and he’d give you a shy smile which you always returned before the both of you looked away. You didn't mind his lack of interaction, you weren't sure you’d be able to actually say anything to him with how tongue tied he made you. Time after time you came back, always ordering whatever was freshest knowing that no matter what it was it would be perfect because he made it. And every time you met each other's eyes your heart swelled and you promised yourself that one day you’d talk to him.

This ritual of stolen glances and blushing smiles continued until one faithful day Steve was absent from the front counter. You’d stepped inside, inhaling the aroma of whatever sweet treat was currently baking before you glanced up. Instead of being in his usual place at the prep table Bucky stood behind the cash register, his flour dusted apron a little more smeared than usual and his cheeks a little redder. Maybe it was the lack of Steve or any other customers, or maybe it was the general air of hopefulness between the two of you but for the first time since you started coming there you met his eyes and held them as you stepped forwards.

“Hi.” Your voice was small as you greeted him, a little more breathy than you’d like.

But his was equally as quiet, betraying just how nervous he was to talk to you too. “Hi. What can I get for you?”

Luckily your order was always the same so even though your heart was beating at stroke level you were able to get it out without stumbling over your words.

“One of whatever’s freshest please.”

Bucky's smile widened as he turned and scooped a still hot cinnamon roll off the cooling rack and deposited it in a perfect white paper bag which he placed on the counter. When your eyes met again you couldn't help but flush even warmer and you let your gaze fall as a pretense for digging for your wallet.

There was a crinkle in front of you as Bucky pushed the paper bag closer. “Uh, It's free today.”

You paused and looked up in surprise only to find him fiddling with the corner of your bag. “What?”

He seemed to take a deep breath as if steeling himself before he met your eyes once more. “It’s your thirteenth order. Like a bakers dozen, so the thirteenth is free. Not that I’ve been counting how many things you buy, well I have but not in a weird way. Wait no, that came out wrong. What I mean is you’re a customer and you come a lot and-” As he’d rambled you’d just stared at him open-mouthed as he got redder and redder before he forced himself to stop by biting his tongue, his eyes falling to the counter in embarrassment.

All your shyness and quiet longing was replaced by a spark of confidence that made you feel like a live wire. You gripped the edge of the counter as inspiration struck you and before you could chicken out you went for it.

“What if I wanted to change my order?” You couldn’t keep the hopeful grin off your face even as you licked your lips nervously.

Bucky's eyes were downcast, his cheeks still flaming with embarrassment from his earlier outburst. “Sure, no problem.”

You let out a little huff of air and let yourself hope as you watched his face. “Can I get your number instead?”

His hands were wrapped around the bag to pull it away but he released it in surprise as he looked up. His eyes found yours and he must have seen the nervous hope there because his face broke out in an excited smile and he nodded, all of his shyness replaced by joy.

…

And that was how you snagged the love of your life, by ordering a baker's dozen.

Inspired by both my own job and my increasing need, what if the Lin Kuei were bakers?

A nice little mom and pop shop, their bakery is both well known and a bit secluded, those who know about it swear that they have the best food, hands down.

Baker! Kuai Liang being one of the head bakers in the store, who shows up early to restock the store and put out treats for display when he sees you walk in, timid and nervous and staring at all the food behind the shelf with wide eyes before waving you over.

“Come now, what would you like?”

You stare at the food, then look up and stare at him and suddenly realize that the very handsome guy behind the counter is talking to you and now you’re nervous for a whole new reason.

“Oh, I, uh, I’ve never came here before so I don’t really know...” You stammer, distracted by his friendly nature. He thinks the way your eyes dart from display to display is adorable, unable to choose between the assortment of baked goods.

The young baker’s voice snaps you out of your own trance, gentle and soft. “Take your time ma’am, we’re in no rush.”

He introduces himself, shakes your hand as he tells you his name; Kuai Liang. You repeat it to yourself a couple times to get the pronunciation right, and it makes him swoon. His name sounds good between your lips.

He guides you through all the menu items with ease, even gives you his own recommendations too! A warm smile on his face as he points out the special of the week: blueberry muffins! He pulls one out of the display and hands it to you, and when you insist on paying he pushes it further into your hands, not taking no for an answer.

“Please, I insist.” He offers. You look at him, look down at the treat and decide that this is probably better than whatever two dollar croissant you were gonna have for breakfast anyway and take a bite, your eyes closing in bliss.

Kuai Liang feels a sense of pride well up in his chest when you keep eating, and thinks to himself that he should like to see your reaction to all of his food.

I have a whole bakery AU in my head involving the other mk characters too I just think that they deserve a break from kombat okay

You hummed as you finished boxing up a small pack of cupcakes for your next special order, careful not to mess up the frosting you meticulously piped to perfection. After placing your store’s sticker on the edge of the box to keep it sealed, you heard a shattering of glass outside your shop door.

Looking up through your glass windows, you saw a tall man standing on the sidewalk staring at the ground with his hands on his hips. Curious as to what that was all about, you went out to see if you could help.

“Crap,” Ari mumbled to himself, as he bent down on one knee to see if he could salvage the flowers. Somehow the red dahlia’s were still intact, so he carefully picked them all up, and just as he was about to stand up and set them back in his delivery truck, he heard a bell jingle behind him.

You walked around him to see what was going on and he turned to look up at you, smiling shyly.

You couldn’t suppress your smile at the broad-shouldered gentleman with the pretty flowers in his hands, even if you wanted to. “Do you need some help?” you beamed at the blue-eyed man kneeling before you.

Ari matched your bright smile, “Now what makes you think I need help?” he asked playfully, peering up at you through his thick lashes. Finally standing up to his full height, “Maybe, I just wanted to dramatically give you these flowers,” he joked, gesturing to the little bouquet in his hands. He towered over you, but there was something about him that put you at ease.

You let out a laugh, “Well that’s one way of getting my attention,” you teased. “But before you do that, maybe we should clean this glass up,” you gestured at the broken vase. “I’ll be right back with a broom,” you said, rushing back to grab the sweeper.

Ari ran his hand through his hair as he watched you walk away — you were too cute, with your adorable pink apron and that radiant smile. He quickly made sure that there was no glass on the flowers then pulled and cut out some extra ribbon he had in his truck. After ensuring they were perfect, he tied them up beautifully with a black bow.

The bell above your door jingled again, and he turned back to see you with the big broom and dustpan. “Thank you so much,” he said, grabbing the items from your hand. “And these are for you,” he mumbled shyly, handing you the small red arrangement.

Heat rushed to your cheeks as you smiled at him, taking it from his hands. “That wasn’t necessary, but thank you,” you said coyly.

He nodded his head with a grin before moving to sweep up the glass.

“Um, I’ll be right back,” you turned to head back to your shop.

Ari spent a few minutes cleaning up, making sure that he didn’t leave a shard of glass behind. He didn’t want a woman as lovely as yourself to run into any trouble because of his mistake.

While he did that, you quickly went inside and grabbed a spatula and changed your piping tip to make a little something just for him.

You heard him close up the back of his delivery van’s door, and then the familiar bell rang again. Swiftly packing up the small pastry in a box, you sealed it with your store’s sticker just as he came up to the counter.

“Thanks again for letting me borrow this. Where would you like me to put it?” He held up the broom.

“You can just lean it up against the wall,” you nodded towards the wall behind him, as you scribbled on the box with your sharpie.

He did just that, then returned to the counter. “Sorry about the disruption, but I’m glad it led me to this bakery. You’re really close to my Flower Shop,” he smiled, his eyes soft and warm as he looked at you.

“Well you’ll have to stop by another time, in a less dramatic fashion of course,” you joked, meeting his stunning cerulean gaze. “Here, I um packed this up for you. You can see if it’s worth it to return,” you handed him the box.

“I don’t need to open the box to know that it is,” he smirked, taking the box from your hands. “But thank you.”

Staring into your brilliant eyes, Ari felt himself fall just a bit.

He took a deep breath, “I do have to get going though, I have a couple more arrangements to make and drop off since my delivery guy is out today. I’m a little out of sorts with this side of things, but will you be here tomorrow morning?” he asked hopefully.

“I will, yeah,” you nodded with a soft smile.

“Great, I will see you then, um?” he finally realized he had yet to get your name.

“Y/N.”

“Right, I’m Ari. And I’ll see you tomorrow Y/N,” he beamed before turning to leave, glancing back just once as his hand touched the door.

The bell chimed again upon his departure, and you exhaled a deep breath. What a man.

You couldn’t wait until tomorrow when you’d get the chance to see that gorgeous being again.

As he got in his truck and buckled up, Ari thanked his clumsiness for bringing him to you. You were so kind and enchanting, he couldn’t believe his luck.

Curiosity got the better of him as pulled up in front of his shop. He picked up the box that he’d set on his passenger seat and saw that you had scribbled your name and number on the side. A bright smile graced his lips, but then he gently broke the seal and opened up the box to see what you made for him.

Ari’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest as he took in the little cupcake, flawlessly frosted in the design of a beautiful red dahlia.

Part 2
