In the Cupcake of Good and Evil, Tuesday 2nd Period [3/26]
"Now, I'm sure most of you have figured out what's going on this week," Summer stated, with a lift of her chin, "or there's a good chance that if you've even bothered coming to class today, you actually don't know, so I'll just fill you in now that the island is doing the thing it does where it basically is exuding horny pollen and making everyone want to fuck."
Look, yes, this was a classroom, but on a week like this, there was really no point in beating around the bush. Unless you were into that.
"So," Summer continued, "the way I see it, there's two different ways you could go with this one, and which one you consider the good or evil path is probably just a matter of perspective. But you could either lean into it hard," yes, she had to use that word, thank you, "and emphasize the sexy or try your damndest to combat it by making your cupcakes not only disgusting, but also with ingredients theorized to be anti-aphrodisiacs.”
Stark was very carefully not making eye contact with anyone while Summer spoke and was in fact just looking down at the counter as much as possible. “Perhaps gross cupcakes will be enough to distract you from other thoughts,” he said. “Although they might not. And perhaps you could gift your, ah, sexy cupcakes to a friend or companion? I wouldn’t recommend giving them anything too gross unless you know them well enough to know what gross things they actually enjoy.” Yep. Definitely making a concerted effort not to even look at Summer while repeatedly saying the g-word. “Or you could use things like graham crackers? They’re meant to…suppress urges, if eaten. And corn flakes. I don’t understand why but they are. They might make for very dry cupcakes and of course cake is better moist...”
Stark-rambling was pretty bad even on a normal week, but Summer's palm was firmly meeting her face the moment he somehow decided, amidst all those grosses, to also reference an ingredient that literally shared a name with one of their students.
"So, anyway," she concluded, because the sooner they got on with this, probably, the better, "we have [nsfw link ]sex cupcakes, and we have anti-sex cupcakes made from various allegedly anti-aphrodisiac ingredients. My personal favorites? Tofu and popcorn, but with microwaved popcorn specifically since that apparently contains something in the lining that kills your sex drive."
A beat.
"Nothing will kill your sex drive this week," she sighed. "Good luck."
“Good luck,” Stark echoed, still determinedly not looking at anyone. If he started he wasn’t going to stop looking and then where would they be?

Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
At least Stark was. He'd given up not looking at Summer.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
You could probably argue that their mere existence wasn't appropriate for this setting, but whatever.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
"Where did you get all your cupcakes from this time?" he asked, leaning just a bit closer to Summer than was strictly necessary. "I know you didn't have time to make them all."
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
Paaaause.
"That said," she added, "I dimension-hopped to a bakery I knew that made 'em on the regular right before class."
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
You know what, he was just going to have to pick one up and take a bite. It couldn't be helped. Even if it wasn't really what he wanted to sink his teeth into right now.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
"Hold on," she then said, turning toward him and leaning in a little as her hans lifted toward his cheek, a thumb brushing against the corner of his mouth, "you've got a little something..."
Did he actually have frosting on his lips?
Did it matter?
Re: Talk to the Teachers [3/26]
And then there was a thumb on his lips and he was opening his mouth and biting down very gently before sucking on it a little less gently.
And if his hand came up to catch her wrist, well that was a bonus. As was the way his own thumb gently stroked the inside of that wrist.
