Alrrrrrriggghty Fatgum Fans! I’m gonna try to get some writing done over the next few days or so! Got one angst prompt already in mind and some sexy headcanons on the way. But be sure to send in any ideas from you to my inbox! Aight, as always thx for your support and PLUS ULTRA!
Somebody asked for a Fatgum birthday request in which his s/o tries to bake a cake and kinda sucks at it. I lost the original ask (and I kinda forgot who sent it so sorry). But anyway, here you go in anticipation of Fatgum’s birthday!
—————————-————————
August 8th was the birthday of your precious Taishiro Toyomitsu, AKA the BMI Hero Fatgum. Now while he was very sociable, he was never really the party person. So you decided to make him a cake. Now….sure you had failed Home Ec…you could make Easy Mac and cereal. That was it. They always say baking is more art than science….to you it was more like astrophysics. But you were always so inspired watching him help Amajiki and Kirishima to be their best selves. So you felt if you just had confidence, then you could accomplish anything!
Or so you thought……………good news was this was your best cake yet. Bad news was it was still lopsided and you did a less than a satisfactory job of frosting the cake. It was a chocolate cake with some chocolate frosting. You had tried to decorate the top like a takoyaki ball, but it looked very sloppy. You stood there staring down at your floppy atrocity, drumming your fingers on the countertop.
“Sigh………..damn it…”, you muttered. You couldn’t possibly give this to Tai-he was freakin’ Fatgum! He was used to eating really great food and was always invited to all the latest restraurant openings; from the local grill down the street to the new bistro at the Ritz Carlton. You then pulled out your phone to call Tai’s favorite bakery.
“Hi!”, a cheerful voice responded, “This is Plentiful Pastries! How can I help you?”
“Hi, yes-I was just wondering how long you guys are open today, and how long would it take to bake a birthday cake for my boyfriend?’“
“Well that depends, what kind of cake did you have in mind? Does he have a favorite flavor that you’d like us to make?”
Huh…….funny thing-you actually didn’t know his favorite flavor of cake was. You’d witnessed the man tear through sheet cakes and tiered cakes of all sorts of shapes and flavors alike, but it had never occurred to you what his FAVORITE flavor was.
“H-his favorite flavor?”, you stammered into the phone. “I-I’m not quite sure-”
“-Don’t got a favorite.”
“GAH!” You jumped at the sudden voice and the sensation of giant hands on your hips. You accidentally sent your phone flying into the nearby fruit bowl in your shock, hanging up on the poor baker.
“Jeez Tai! Don’t scare me like that!” You protested as you were lifted in your boyfriend’s arms and brought to his grinning face. He planted several warm pecks on your cheeks as he chuckled.
“You were ordering me a cake for my birthday?” he playfully asked.
“Y-yeah…….”, you responded sheepishly.
“But why? Looks like ya made a perfectly nice one over there”, he notes, nodding his head over to your sugar loaded disaster.
“O-oh, that thing…….yeah, I tried to make you a cake. But I failed…..”
“No, you didn’t-it looks amazing!” he tried. He set you down, grabbed a fork from the silverware drawer, and went over and took a generous bite of the lumpy concoction. His face froze mid chew, his eyes wide.
“Uh…….at least ya tried, doll……I mean-it’s good! But I uh-”, he tried, forcing a smile on his face, doing his best not to hurt your feelings. You gave him a warm smile, admiring his efforts to spare your ego the shame.
“It’s ok Sugar Boo… I know it’s awful”.
“Oh thank All Might-” He spat the cake into the trash.
“I’m sorry Tai……I just wanted to make you something special for your birthday…”, you apologized, lowering your head.
He walked over to you and lifted your head to look him in his eyes.
“It’s the thought that counts, Sweet Pea….and I can tell you put your best effort into it.”
This caused you to give him a soft smile, blushing at his reassuring eyes.
“Tell ya what, why don’t we go to my favorite buffet and get ice cream after??”
So…….this upcoming Saturday is Fatgum’s birthday…..and I wanna write something………any ideas or prompts??? I prolly won’t do NSFW or anything like that, but I’ll write for fluff or headcanons, centered around Fatgum and his birthday. Feel free to send in suggestions!
