Wolf smiled slightly at Bridge's question and reaction. "Yes, really. I have no problem with helping someone out—especially when it gets me cupcakes in the process."

“Thank you!” Bridge beamed now, starting to walk a little faster and pulling Wolf along with him. “There’s a bakery over here.”
group
Wolf let out a startled laugh as Bridge pulled him along. "Hey, you think the ingredients are still there? And if the kitchen is still operational?"
“Yeah, there’s a guy who works there. He’s not mean to me,” Bridge told him, bouncing along the alleyway.
group
"That's good. I was actually wondering if I could try my hand at making some cupcakes," Wolf said, tilting his head as he went through his and his sister's own recipe. "It's been a while, but I think I might still remember how to."
“Really?” Bridge asked, looking up at him brightly. “You can ask him to make some of your own!”
group
((Bridge is so adorable, I just want to hug him))
Wolf's smile grew as he looked down at Bridge. "Alright, I guess I will," he said with a soft chuckle.
((Ehehehehe he gets cuter))
“Yay!” Bridge exclaimed loudly, wide gold eyes like lamps in the quickly-darkening street.
group
Wolf chuckled, admiring Bridge's unique eyes. He was reminded of his own eyes, and it somehow brought a little comfort to him. Maybe he should take out his contacts. They were starting to itch…
“Anyway,” Bridge said, blushing a little as he realized he was still holding Wolf’s hand.
group
Wolf arched a brow. "Anyway?" he prompted, his lips twitching up slightly in a half smile.
“N-nothing, sorry…” He stammered quietly, blushing and looking down again.
group
Wolf was more amused than anything, and he thought that Bridge's blush was cute.
Bridge didn’t say anything for a while, looking up as they came to a door with a little lantern hanging over it.
group
"Hmm. Is this the bakery?" Wolf guessed, cocking his head to the side curiously. He hadn't been down these parts before, so he was completely relying on Bridge at this point.
“Mhm,” Bridge hummed, tightening his grip on Wolf’s hand and pushing open the door.
group
Wolf followed, his eyes darting around in curiosity as he examined the bakery.
A friendly-looking man behind the counter looked up and beamed as the two walked in. “Bridge! You’ve brought another guest!”
group
Wolf offered a two-fingered salute and half smile as he turned to the man. "Indeed he did. I'm Wolf, and I was also wondering if I could use your kitchen? My sister and I've developed our own recipe for cupcakes, and I would like to try my hand at it today."
"Of course! It's been so long since I've had someone else use it," The man exclaimed in quite a jolly tone, stepping aside for the two to go through. "I'll be in the main room, out of your hair."
Bridge sat down on a stool in the corner of the room, peering up at Wolf.
group
Wolf nodded his head and thanked the man as he slipped into the kitchen. He hummed to himself as he searched the place for the ingredients that he would need.
Bridge watched him, running a hand through his tangled white hair and looking up at him with wide, curious eyes. He'd never seen anyone bake before. He'd only ever had cupcakes a couple times in his life, either.
group
Once he had gathered the ingredients, Wolf went to work with putting it all together and actually baking the cupcakes. He made his homemade frosting first, then set the blue frosting off to the side to make the batter for the cupcakes.
Bridge glanced at it, still too scared to speak to Wolf. Sure, he may have helped him up, apologized, invited Bridge with him, and was now making cupcakes for the both of them - which was far more than almost anyone had ever done for him - he was still wary.
group
"So how're you holding up, Bridge?" Wolf asked without looking at him, focusing on the cupcakes. "With this whole apocalypse thing going on, I mean."
"Oh." He looked up, surprised at Wolf's voice after the silence. "I've - I've been fine. My parents left," He said quietly, not sure if he was saying too much or annoying Wolf. He wouldn't be surprised.
group
Wolf looked over in Bridge's direction, pausing in his baking. He chewed his lip for a bit, then said, "My family sorta split apart, so now we're all fending for ourselves. My sister and I sometimes happen to bump into each other, but other than that, I'm mostly alone."
That was pretty, when he bit his lip, Bridge thought, before blinking in surprise at himself. "Sorry," He mumbled.
group
He shrugged and went back to the cupcakes. "'s alright. We've all been off on our own pretty much anyways. the only really hard part is staying away from my sister. We're twins, so, y'know. Kinda do everything together."
"That's cool! I'm an only child," Bridge said, before biting his tongue. Why did he tell Wolf that? He was pretty, but also kind of scary. Everyone was scary.
