Advent Drabble 9 - Cooking

(I could not get Dreamwidth to work for me last night, so here's yesterday's drabble!)

For anonymous.

“I think we can do it,” Pete says confidently.

Pete thinks they can do anything. Maybe being a big-deal band on the cover of Rolling Stone is something they can do, but definitely not this.

“No,” Patrick says. “I am willing to believe you in many circumstances. But we are not doing this. We are not capable of doing this. Neither one of us knows how to make pasta.”

“I don’t think it’s actually hard. I think you just—”

Patrick, however, is fond of the apartment not being burned down. “No,” he says again. “We order pizza like usual.”

Advent Drabble 10 - Gingerbread

For rereader 

Matt has never made a gingerbread house before, because when would that have happened in his life? He buys the kit on a whim and tells Patrick, “I thought Adam would like it!”

Patrick says indulgently, “Sure,” but doesn’t seem as enthusiastic as Matt would have thought.

Six hours later when the house keeps collapsing on them and Adam has lost interest, Matt gets it. “So gingerbread houses don’t work,” he concludes, disappointed. He’d had grand hopes. But he cheers himself up. “But it does suit this falling-down house of yours.”

“Maybe I’ll try a gumdrop roof next,” Patrick proposes.
