It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
WHO: Adam Taurus, Orihime Inoue
WHAT: Orihime's noticed her neighbor is being a frowny clowny, so she brings MORE DESSERT. Time to see if he'll actually talk to her about personal stuff yet.
WHEN: April 21, 2014
WHERE: Garden Park Apartments
There were many reasons why Orihime was standing at the door to apartment 106, rapping sharply with one hand, and balancing a cheesecake slathered with strawberries in the other hand. She was bothered by Dean's absence, and didn't want to think that he'd left. She knew he had, and that it might have been good for him since he'd been aching for his home for a long time. But it still felt lonely to know he wasn't around right now.
So she baked to keep herself busy. When she noticed that Adam had grown more reticent and unhappy as well, her mind was made up: best to share a dessert instead of eating it alone.
Orihime's cooking didn't appeal to most people, she knew. But no one had ever complained about the quality of her desserts, except to state that her baked goods were too fattening. A dessert that was low in calories wasn't doing its job, so she was proud of such remarks. This meant she was fully comfortable sharing her culinary delights with her neighbor, and it meant it was all she shared. Adam was so mistrustful of humans to begin with, she could easily imagine him taking a look at Orihime's version of curry and accusing her of trying to make him suffer. So she played it safe and stuck to the things she knew she was good at.
Ordinarily she just left them on his doorstep, to be eaten or discarded as he saw fit. This time, though, she wanted to see how he was doing, and see if there was anything she could help with. If she could, then maybe she'd feel a little less lonely and melancholy in return.
"Adam-san! It's me, your neighbor!" she called out, just in case he feared he was being visited by the paperboy or something.

"I'll leave the cheesecake with you. Just bring the plate back later whenever you're finished!" she smiled, putting away her list in the thin pocket sewed into her skirt. "I rented a comedy from the store. I don't know if it's your style, but if you want to come watch it, that would be fine! Or you can borrow it when I'm done," she shrugged.

Once again, that's something he never really got into when he was growing up. Ever since being in the White Fang he had other things he had to do, other missions, he didn't have time for anything like movies or other mundane activities. He hadn't grown up normally at all, when he thought about how others his age acted.
"I could check it out," he is curious, after all. Adam would be fine with watching a movie, quietly, instead of having to talk anymore about things he would rather not think about.
But hey at least he gets to keep the cake.

"Yay!" she replied enthusiastically...then paused, her mouth forming an 'o'. "Wait...did you mean you wanted to watch it together, or borrow it?" She shouldn't get excited about the wrong thing!
no subject
"Let's just watch it," that was clear enough for an answer, right?
no subject
What if he actually laughed?
"I was hoping you'd pick that one!" she laughed, scooping up her shoes and carrying them with her as she scurried to keep pace with the taller young man.
Perhaps she hadn't lost her touch at making friends after all.
no subject
Adam just opened the door for her, waiting for her to go through it before he closed it behind him. Alright, off to her apartment now!
"If you chose the movie, then it's probably pretty strange too."
