42 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is in the kitchen, which isn't strictly unusual, as Usagi tops her into cooking her favorite things eats a lot of food and, therefore, someone must cook it... but what Rei is doing in the kitchen is something of a sight.

Her hands are covered in a thick, dark, sticky liquid and she looks like she's inches away from throwing the pot in front of her on the floor in a fit of frustration. The counter-top is covered with various cookbooks, what remains of their sugar stores, a heap of dark powder, and a thermometer.

There is a gooey pile to her right of 'failed attempts' at whatever the hell she's attempting to do.

She is stirring the pot almost viciously -- until something within the pot causes Hino Rei's patience to snap.]

Ugh, this is the dumbest tradition ever! Who thought this was a good idea!?

[The PCD shuts off before Rei has a chance to throw something at it.]

[Yup, it's official. You are the cutest thing ever, Rei. Deal with it.]

Having fun?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Fuck everything, she hates her life.]

Loads of fun. Tons of it.

So much fun.

[Chuckle.]

You don't have to make me anything, Rei.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

I don't have to do anything.

[She is hellbent on getting this right, dammit.]

I do things because I want to.

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Is making me chocolates that important?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[No verbal reply, but the expression is enough.

Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.]

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[Probably for the same reasons he's been up all night getting her presents ready.]

Rei... I don't care what they look like. Just... knowing you made them for me is good enough.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

It's not even that.

They're a gooey mess.

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Noticed that.

Want some help?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

... you can't help me, that defeats the purpose.

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

Mm. If you say so.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

I have to make it by myself.

[It means more that way.]

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

You already said that.

[You have absolutely no idea how amusing this is for him, do you?]

Make sure they're ready by four.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[She has a pretty good idea.]

They will be.

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[Forgive him is he doubts you, Rei.]

Will you be?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Yes.

[Do not doubt her on this, dammit, she is very determined.]

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[He doubts he'll be getting edible chocolate. Everything else? He's looking forward to.]

Any other plans I should know about?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

You weren't supposed to know about this.

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Want to act surprised when you give them to me?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

No.

[She'll just need to figure out something else to give him too, that's all.]

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't need anything else.]

Do you always get this flustered over Valentines Day?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

I've never really celebrated it before.

[So it has to be perfect. Clearly.]

[Video]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Really?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Yes.

So shut up and let me make the stupid chocolate.

[/tsun-ing all over you]

[BRB, over here trying not to laugh.]

I never said you couldn't.
