Luca sighed as, for the third time since the club meeting had started, the fire extinguisher had to be pulled from it's usual location to extinguish yet ANOTHER failed cake. Why was everyone making cakes, anyways? Be a bit more creative!

The dark haired boy sighed, rolling his shirt sleeves up a bit higher as he continued working. His school jacket was discarded on the stool behind him as he continued working on his little project, occasionally taking small tastes to make sure he had gotten the right ratio. What was he making?

Ice cream. A very special kind of ice cream. The German/Italian boy glanced at the half-empty bottle of rum beside him and chuckled. Okay, so he MAY have added a bit too much rum...but that made it taste even better. He had gone a bit out there with his current masterpiece of flavor- passion fruit, lime, and rum ice cream. It sounded pretty good, and the flavors would work well...hopefully.

Grumbling as he felt his hair-tie come loose again, Luca set the bowl he was using down on the counter and slid the hair-tie out of his hair, shaking his head in a manner of a wet dog to try and fix it. Ignoring the glances from some of the girls in the room, he resumed tying his hair back.

...And there was the fourth time someone started a fire today...

Shiloh scowled as the smell of burnt cake wafted through the room again. She scanned the room briefly for the culprit, plotting their demise. How hard was it to make a cake??? She was no master chef herself, but goddamnit people, it's not that hard.

She glanced down at her own creation. It was a simple spin on a macaroni and cheese recipe, with enough to last her at least a week. Which was good, since she could barely afford to buy enough groceries. Grocery shopping was a bitch. Like cooking. Like the idiots in the club who couldn't make a goddamn cake. No wonder she found herself drinking so often.

Maybe... she thought. Maybe buying alcohol is why I find myself with no food.

She idly shook her head, red strands falling in her face. Nah. Can't be. She grabbed the tray with her food and slid it into the preheated oven, closing it and double checking the timer. Nope. She would not join the ranks of idiots.

Shiloh wiped her hands off on her skirt, now curious about the stock of alcohol the kitchens here kept. There had to be something...

And there it was. The Aussie would recognize that bottle of rum anywhere. The dark haired man at the station next to hers had a bottle of rum amongst his ingredients, and that--coupled with the fact that he was kinda cute--meant that Shiloh had something to do while her food cooked.

"So..." Hooking her ankle easily around the leg of her stool, she pulled it over towards his station, taking a seat next to him. "What're you burning over here?"

Hearing footsteps and the familiar scrape of a stool across the floor, Luca looked up at the person now sitting next to him. Red-haired girl, no, woman. Definitely older than him by a couple of years. That accent...Australian? Sighing slightly, the dark-haired boy finished tying back his hair and chuckled slightly.

"Sorry, Aussie-ragazza, but it's impossible for me to burn anything. Ask the nine idiots who decided to make cakes. Seriously, is it that easy to burn a cake? I've made one and didn't burn it."

Toying with the bottle of rum he had used, Luca chuckled as he looked at the woman next to him.

"Well, ice cream with an adult twist. Let me guess...you only came over here because I took the only bottle of rum the cooking club has?"

Double-checking to make sure the teacher in charge of them wasn't looking, the boy smirked as he took a quick swig of the rum. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he laughed slightly.

"And if you're about to ask- yes, I am willing to share the rum."

"Ragazza??" She quirked an eyebrow at him, trying to get comfortable on the stool without letting her skirt go astray. Goddamn school uniforms were the worst. Who even assigned uniforms for universities anyway?? "Care ta elaborate there, bloke?"

She eyed the bottle, but looked up at him to make it seem like she wasn't just after the booze. The fact that he was using it made him a legal age, and when that clicked in her head...well then this was for a bit more than just the rum.

"Ice cream with an adult twist, eh...?" She leaned forward over the counter, elbow on it and her chin in her hand. She extended her free hand for the bottle which he so politely offered to share without her even needing to vocalize it.

"Hold up..you made rum-flavored ice cream???"

"Sorry, that's my Italian side talking. Ragazza just means 'girl'."

He chuckled when he saw that she seemed a bit uncomfortable with the skirt. Understandable, good thing he didn't wear one.

"Why not wear shorts under the skirt, since you don't seem very comfortable on the stool?"

Passing her the bottle of rum, he leaned back slightly and kicked the stool his jacket was on back slightly. He was very tempted to light a cigarette...but the first time he had done it in the cooking room, he got yelled at. He laughed once she apparently realized what it was he had made.

"Yes, yes I did. Well, it has rum, lime juice for a bit of tartness, and a bit of passion fruit juice in it as well for color. I thought of bringing out my German side and adding some beer to it, but decided rum would work better."

She forgot whatever she might have said about her stupid skirt as he went over his ice cream. Skirt? What skirt? She could have been naked for all she cared.

Rum-flavored ice cream. With lime and a bit of passion fruit. It was utterly brilliant.

Her blue eyes widened a bit as she stared at the man. He was a genius. A goddamn genius. Combining two of her favorite things into one recipe. Cute, foreign like herself, and a fucking genius.

If you had approached her ten minutes earlier, she could have told you a wonderful story off the top of her head. Completely original, starring Logan, a woman with multiple personalities who guarded inter-dimensional gates. Normally she prided herself on her silver tongue, but after a five minute conversation, she was completely speechless. Damn him.

Shiloh set the bottle down a bit more harshly than she intended, the glass clinking against the counter top as she continued to stare at him.

"Kiss me."

As he resumed stirring his ice cream, Luca glanced at the girl. She seemed a bit shell-shocked by his statement. Was rum-flavored ice cream really that surprising? Chuckling slightly, Luca took the rum back from her right as she spoke. He nearly choked on his tongue.

"S-Say what?!"

If he had been sitting on his stool, he would've fallen off it. Luckily, he was standing. However, he did drop the spoon he was using to stir his ice cream, and it nearly fell to the floor. Luckily, he managed to catch it before it did so. Standing up once more, he sighed.

"Please, please, PLEASE tell me you're kidding. I've already been made to kiss a girl I barely knew. I don't want to make it a habit."

"What?!" She stood abruptly, habitually reaching out with her foot to stop the stool from clattering away. "Wha-- no, no. I didn't say--"

This was madness. Nope. She did not just tell him to kiss her. Not at all. She was completely sane. Nothing unusual here.

"Nope!" She could feel the heat of embarrassment rushing to her cheeks, sure her face matched her hair at this point. "Abso-fuckin'-lutely nothin' mate!"

Shiloh rounded up her stool and practically threw it back to her station, ignoring any stares the rest of the room might have tossed her way. She practically collapsed on it in a heap, forehead resting against the cool table top, silently wishing it would chill the red away.

She tilted her head slightly to see the timer on the oven. Ten more minutes. She refused to let herself be an idiot twice in a day. But damnit, now she had to sit here for ten more minutes.

Keeping her head down, she extended her arm back towards the Italian boy. It dawned on her that she didn't even know his name....and that made things just a wee bit worse.

If there was ever a time to need that rum, it was right fucking now.

Luca couldn't help but laugh when she nearly knocked her stool over and pretty much collapsed at her station. Huh...he didn't know her name. That made this a bit awkward...

Seeing her outstretched arm, he chuckled before handing her the bottle of rum again, keeping an eye out for the teacher in charge.

"My name's Luca, by the way."

Taking his bowl of ice cream mix, the boy made his way over to the ice cream maker and poured it in. He'd have to wait about...ten minutes, and then it would be good to go. Returning to his seat at his station, he glanced over at the red-head once more.

"Unless you're not going to drink the rum, give it back."

She lifted her head a bit, nodding slightly in his direction in thanks. It was good to know he understood the basics. Would have been a wee bit more awkward if she'd had to have gone back over to his station to get the bottle herself.

Luca, eh? Well, at least progress was being made. Maybe there was a slim chance things could get straightened out and she wouldn't have to drop out of the course. That'd be a bummer.

Glancing about the room as he walked off to handle...whatever it was with his genius ice cream, she took a nice long drink from the bottle. She set it down quickly as the teacher turned, waiting patiently before she was in the clear again.

"'m Shiloh," she said as she heard Luca return to his seat. "All things considered, it's nice ta meet ya, mate." She went to take another drink from the bottle but it was like the goddamn teacher knew. Bastard.

"And I'm incredibly sorry to disappoint, but I don't think yer gunna be gettin' this bottle back. At least not with anythin' in it."

Noticing that the teacher was now making very pointed glances at both himself and the girl, Luca assumed the two had been spotted with the rum. Chuckling slightly as he sat back down, he finally got the red-head's name- Shiloh.

"Nice to meet you too, Shiloh. Are you a student at the university?"

Doing a mental count in his head back from ten, Luca simply facepalmed to stifle his laughter as yet another person yelled for a fire extinguisher. Taking a look over, he shook his head before resting his forehead on the table.

"At least leave me some of the rum. Some idiot just burned his cookies, and I'm gonna need something to forget how much shit got burned today. At least you can't burn ice cream."

Sitting up, he sighed. He still had time before the ice cream was done...

"Sorry if I seem rude...but I feel like I've seen you before. By any chance...have you been to Rock Solid Ink?"

The red head sat up a bit, no longer feeling quite so embarrassed. She took another sip of the rum before bringing herself to face him again.

"Yep. I'm too poor to take more than two classes at a time, but I still count as a student." She paused for a moment, letting the events in the room play out. She scowled. "Seriously you goddamn fuckers, how do you keep burning things????"

Shiloh sighed, ignoring Luca's request for the rum. She deserved the rest at this point. She did, however, turn on her stool to face him now.

"Ya mean that tattoo place? Yeah I've been there." She brought her leg up and crossed it over the other, tugging her sock down a bit to show off part of the wing that sprouted from her ankle. "Doubt I need to tell ya it has a partner on the other leg."

She smiled a bit looking at the ink. It had been a good decision. "Do you work there? Mayhaps you have a few to show off as well?" The smile on her face twisted slightly into a smirk at the 'showing off' comment.

"I have no idea why they keep burning things. Seriously, how hard is it to cook things properly?"

Sighing, Luca ran a hand through his hair before looking at her tattoo. Huh...he knew that artwork...

"Yeah, I work there. I was there the day you got that. My boss did it. And yes, I do have a few tattoos of my own. There's a problem about showing them off, though."

Revealing the curling white script tattoo around his right wrist, he smiled slightly at the words- 'I Am My Own Demon'.

"To show you the other two, I'd have to take off my shirt. And I'm pretty sure I'd get yelled at if I do that. Well...I'm pretty sure some of the girls in the room won't yell at me. The teacher...well...she might yell. Not sure."

He rolled his eyes at her smirk, checking the time. Ice cream would be ready soon...wait, what did Shiloh make?

"The hell did you make anyways?"

"Go ahead and strip," she teased. "I'll match ya per piece of clothing if it'll make ya feel better." She grinned at him, glad she was able to joke again after the embarrassment from before. Must've been the rum.

Covering her tattoo back up, Shiloh stood and made her way to the oven, slapping it off just as the timer sounded. She was bright enough to use gloves while pulling the hot tray out, shutting the oven and setting the dish on the counter top to cool.

"...I made dinner. For a week." The mac and cheese didn't look too bad. Actually it looked downright delicious, which was amazing because Shiloh could set water on fire. Though she did actually follow a recipe this time.

She sat down again as the food cooled, rather pleased overall. Today was turning out pretty well.

"It's pretty cool that you work at a tattoo parlor though. If you ever need more practice I'd be happy to lend some skin or somethin'." She leaned over towards him a bit, lowering her voice. "And o' course, whether or not ya decide to show off the rest of yer ink is completely up to you." She winked at him, grinning slyly as she reached for the last bit of rum.

Laughing at her somewhat teasing offer to strip if he did, Luca smirked at her.

"if you start stripping, things won't end well in this room."

She made dinner for a week? Impressive. Ah, speaking of time...Luca got up and walked over to the ice cream maker, removing the finished product. It both looked and smelled good...but how did it taste?

Bringing the ice cream over, Luca set the bowl of ice cream on the table.

"Want some? I'm willing to share."

Laughing slightly at her offer, he leaned against the counter after grabbing a pair of spoons.

"As for your offer...next time you're there, I can see about getting you a discount. As for showing off my ink...you might just get what you wish for."
