Even though he was few days late, the young man did not forget his own birthday. Reason for being slightly late was the fact, that he wanted to bake himself something delicious. He wasn't in the mood for baking a huge cake, which he would ultimately eat all by himself, but instead, he chose something simpler, but equally delish. Maybe even more delish. After surfing on the Internet searching for pictures, he found one that he should be able to create and looked quite cute on top of it. The young man went to buy all the necessary ingredients and also went to pick up his ridiculous costume he decided to wear. There was nobody there to see him so there was nothing wrong in doing that, right?
The young man's apartment was sized somewhere between medium and large, with kitchen being the largest room of them all. The bedroom was kinda big aswell, but obviously smaller when compared to the kitchen. It had everything a cook could wish for - huge doubledoor fridge, counters that lined around two walls, electric stove, small table with a chair for the young man to eat at. Everything was modern, shiny new. The young man was listening to an upbeat song from an animated movie while he was mixing the ingredients.
The baking mix was ready to be put into the cupcake mold the young man has prepared beforehand. As he let the stove do its thing, it was time for him to prepare the 'cupcake topping'. For a moment he thought he messed it up, but luckily, it ended up being alright. He put the topping into the fridge and took out the baked cupcakes. Just the smell made him want to eat them, even though they were just plain cupcakes. He carefully took them out of the mold and let them cool down a bit. Now for the important part.
It was as ridiculous as expected. But he wasn't a man who backed down. It's not like he lost a bet, but not long ago he awoke to an e-mail saying that the costume is ready for him to pick up. Even as he strutted inside the kitchen he still couldn't believe it. The young man checked the cupcakes. Indeed, they have cooled off to an almost perfect temperature. It was time to decorate the little fuckers, co they would be cute little fuckers. He took out the topping, confectionary decorations and small candles. Being a skilled chef, he didn't get dirty in the process, so the costume was safe and sound. He took out a box of matches and lit the candles on top of the cupcakes. By the time he was finished with them, it was quite dark outside. It was still winter, afterall.
The young man put the cupcakes on a big plate. He then reached out to a cupboard and took out a bottle of raspberry liquor. He quite enjoyed its more sweet-than-alcoholic taste. Unfortunately, he had no other glasses than wine ones. He facepalmed, but there was nothing else he could do, so he had to settle for those. Taking hold of the plate and glass, he made his way to his room. He had already prepared space for the plate on his table that held most of the electronics he owned.
He gingerly put down the plate filled with cupcakes and placed the glass next to it. The only sources of light were his three computer monitors and the candles. If one looked closer, they would notice small tears forming in the young man's eyes.
"Happy birthday, Add."
