Description
(Reader's P.O.V.)

I flipped open my recipe book looking for the fluffy thin cakes my boyfriend seemed to love so damn much.

'I swear there ain't enough pancakes in the world for that boy,' I smiled.

I flipped through each page, getting annoyed that I couldn't find what I was looking for. Until I flipped all the pages 'till the end.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
milk, just enough to make pourable batter

I stumbled through the kitchen drowsily, as I gathered the bowls needed for making the hot cakes.

I couldn't help but look over my shoulder as I started to pour the all purpose flour into the bowl. I had the weirdest feeling that there were eyes on me. But when I turned around, no one was there. It couldn't be Toby. He was too far gone in dreamland to be up this early. Besides, he came home at like 2am last night. He needs his sleep.

'I'm just being paranoid,' I thought, brushing it off as I measured half a teaspoon of salt and baking powder, adding them to the bowl.

I shook my head and continued working. Adding the slightly beaten egg, and oil to the bowl. I walked across the kitchen getting out my measuring cup, sauntering over to the fridge for the milk. And I felt eyes upon me again.

I sighed and brought it back to the counter, measuring the milk in the respected cup. I added it in with all the other ingredients mixing them slowly with a wooden spoon.

(Toby's P.O.V.)

We were laying on a checkered cloth in the middle of a random field identifying what each cloud looked like. There were plates of sandwiches and lemonade around us.

'Must have been a picnic,' I thought.

I didn't have my goggles or guard on. And I was completely overwhelmed with the feeling of peace. I looked as my girlfriend’s slender arm rose to above her small frame, pointing up to the sky. I sighed looking up at the cloud she was pointing at.

“Toby, look!” She said, “It looks like a platter of pancakes!”

I only chuckled lightly to myself at how childish and cute she sounded right now.

“Yeah,” I agreed as I pointed up to another one, “There’s a (Favorite Animal)!”

Her gaze followed my arms and she giggled.

'I love her laugh,' I thought as I laughed a little with her.

Eventually we got up and took a walk in the woods near the clearing we had a picnic in. We held hands and walked slowly, taking in the beauty of the woods. I twitched a little every couple minutes as we walked.

Soon she stopped and hugged me, which I gladly returned. I don't know what came over me but when she tried to pull away my arms prevented her, wrapping around her tighter. I smirked down at her as she blushed in my embrace.

'D'awww,' I thought as I leaned down and planted a sweet gentle kiss on her lips.

“HOLY SH-.” I fell of the bed. Quickly I got up searching around for whatever woke me from amazing dream, picking up the pillow from the ground.

'Smooth, Tobster.' I thought.

I looked around our bedroom.

'Where's (Name)?' I thought looking at the other side of the bed.

Then something wonderful invaded my senses. I wafted in the sweet smell. The second best thing in the world beside my beautiful girlfriend. Pancakes. I smirked and got dressed.

(Reader's P.O.V.)

I was still stirring the batter working out all the lumps. Then I felt someone’s presence again. I looked around and saw no one.

'It's alright, you're just losing your mind,' I thought as I stirred.

Then out of nowhere I felt arms wrap around my waist and a chin on my left shoulder. I gasped, sucking in my breath as I turned my head to Toby. False alarm. I let out the breath and looked over at the clock on the stove. 8:32am.

'Huh, new record,' I thought as he kissed me on the cheek.

He wore one of his black T-shirts and boxers. He obviously hadn't taken the time to get ready at all, seeing as his hair flew all over the place as per his usual bedhead.

“Good morning, hot stuff.” He said with a wink looking me up and down.

I was wearing shorts and one of his bigger T-shirts, big whoop. But I couldn't help but laugh at his sweetness.

“Good morning, babe.” I replied as he fell silent and petted my (H/C) hair.

“Why are you up so early?” I asked.

“You’re going to laugh.”

“Will not.”

“Will too.” He argued childishly, twitching a little.

“Will not!” I said turning around and hugging him.

“Fine… I k-k-kind of… f-fell out of bed,” he said.

“D’awww is my baby okay?!” I asked trying to stifle my giggles.

“Yeah, I’m all good now.” He smirked as he lifted my chin up and stole a kiss.

When we pulled away I got back to stirring the batter and he got out plates and utensils placing them on the dinner table. I poured the batter into little circles on the pan.

A couple minutes later I flipped them and when then were done I flipped them onto a plate and brought them into the dining room where Toby was already sitting down expectantly, knife and fork in hand. He gave me all his attention as I walked over like the plate.

He eyed me like he’d pounce me any second now. I was actually sort of worried. When I placed them on the table he attacked the plate.

I couldn't help but giggle as he destroyed the tower of pancakes before him. Before I knew it the plate was clean and he looked at me with his adorable green puppy dog eyes. He knew he got everything he wanted with them. And he was using it to his advantage.

‘Oh my god, not the eyes.’ I whined to myself.

“What?” I asked, already knowing what the answer was going to be.

“M-more please?” He answered in the cutest voice he could muster.

I gripped the bridge of my nose and sighed, heading back into the kitchen to make more pancakes for my adorable boyfriend.
