no such thing as a sugar-free cake

"...and 3 slices of strawberry shortcake."

The woman behind the counter, dressed in pastel yellow and blue stripes looked at him as if he had just asked for the most ridiculous thing in the world, which in reality wasn't that far from the truth. He had just rolled up into this bakery and started laying down demands like he was about to rob the place, except instead of robbing it he was going to pay for their services good and fair-like.

See, he learned a long time ago that threatening people and trying to get things that you need a lot of for free caused people to go out of business and then the things that you want most of all end up being denied you because you were a self-entitled little pissbaby about it.

And he was nothing if not the most entitled selfish pissbaby, but he was a pissbaby who liked things to not be denied him, and if that meant paying a fair amount for the sweet sweet sugary goodness of candy and baked goods that he consumed voraciously like a fucking black hole speeding the universe into the endtimes, then he would do that. He took out his wallet and pulled out his credit card. Money was no object. Which wasn't true, but hey, it wasn't him who had to deal with the money issues.

Now he waited. Admittedly for a long time, since his order was huge, so he just took a seat near a window and pulled out his phone to amuse himself.

Wrath smiled at his phone as he played his game. It was an anime game that he bought off the Japanese app store because he was nothing if not a lover of garbage anime based games. This one was actually not that bad. It reminded him of Chrono Trigger, which he was pretty sure was a purposeful thing.

After about ten minutes, he used up his free lives for the next half hour. The sin internally debated about buying more, since he had his credit card with him already, but as he looked up, he saw...

A boy.

A cute boy, that it felt like he'd definitely seen before, but since he didn't watch a ton of actual television, he wasn't sure. Wrath watched, enamored for a moment, before pushing his face through the window.

His body, able to change states, dissipated completely down to its atoms to go through the glass, and reform on the other side. The half of him still in the bakery was solid, and the half of him hanging out the window was solid, but the strip of him between those two places--ie, where the glass was--was more like a gas.

"Hey!" He said with a big smile and a quirked eyebrow. "Whatcha up to, buddy?"

Micah's cheshire grin remained perfectly in place, tilting his head as this guy remained completely unfazed by the redhead half-in and half-out of a bakery window. What a weird kid! But weird was fun, in the grand scheme of things. "Yep! My body can change its state and form. Like so--!" His whole body seemed to dissipate in the wind before materializing in its entirety right in front of Nico.

He laughed lightly, his arms behind his back as he eyed him up and down. He looked pretty snazzy. Definitely someone important. Definitely. Wrath had an eye for these things.

At his response (something about breathing. Micah's brain processed it within mircomoments, but it was a weird way to phrase something like that, for a mortal) he started laughing, altering the density of his body until her was floating like a balloon. "You're funny! That's great! That a hoot! Hahaha!"

It was so funny that he started rolling in the air, almost a literal ROFL.

"Huh? Donuts?" He shook his head. "I'm waiting for cake. Youuuu... what brings you here? Or do you just enjoy standing outside of bakeries?"

Micah was aware enough to note that the other boy's face was looking a little unamused. It wasn't exactly normal for someone to start laughing at something that was barely funny enough that they softly spun in the air. But when you were him, everything was funny. Especially cute boys making bad jokes. Especially that.

His snickers faded away and left just a smile. "Don't mind if I do! I just haven't heard anything funny lately! So even that made me chuckle like nobody's business!"

Seeing that he didn't really have any reason to be around, Micah just dropped to his feet, looking at him. Wow, he was a couple inches shorter than him! That was neat! Everyone here was either a giant or a tiny micro person, so it felt cool to be close in height to someone for once.

"WELL! Why don't we walk around together? I ordered a lot of cake, it's gonna be a while. Might as well walk around and do something fun, right?"

Micah reached out with both hands and shook the offered hand with vigor. "Micah! Micah Lopez! Happy to make your acquaintance!"

He started to walk, but quickly noticed he wasn't actually going anywhere. Confused, he looked around before realizing that he couldn't walk if his feet weren't on the ground. Sure, seemed obvious now, but he was more than a little excited to meet someone new.

"Oops! Haha!" He dropped to the ground, springing forward and around Nico with a burst of energy and a big, energetic wave. "C'mon Nico! That's a nice name you have by the way. Real nice!"
