Off Colors Graduation Cake

Yes, nerds, I duplicated the four-tier graduation cake from Steven Universe Future: “Little Graduation.”

The process for this cake is pretty long, but it’s all there under that cut.

(I made this when the show ended, but am only posting the full recipe now.)

See more SU food tutorials!

Making the Off Colors Graduation Cake required some guesswork. For instance, we only get to see the inside of one tier.

Looks like two-layer chocolate cake with some complex fillings and a bunch of fun toppings!

This tutorial comes in 6 parts:

1. Four two-layer cakes: 10-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch, and 4-inch

2. Pink lemonade frosting filler

3. Creamy chocolate frosting filler

4. Vanilla buttercream frosting

5. Fondant figures and ribbon accents

6. Assembly

Let's get started because there's so much to do!

1. The Cakes

This delicious chocolate cake is partially based on a recipe blog created by Chelsey of chelsweets.com . I used the same one for the bottom layer of my Gem Harvest Cake.

Note: You will make this recipe TWICE.

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

4 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup hot water

1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

1 cup powdered cocoa

Equipment:

Stand mixer

Spatula

Measuring cups and spoons

A medium bowl

Whisk

Two 10-inch round cake pans

Two 8-inch round cake pans

Two 6-inch round cake pans

Two 4-inch round cake pans

Two heating cores

Parchment paper

Sifter

Non-stick spray or oil mister

Baking scale

Frosting knife or flexible, thin knife

Toothpicks

Cooling racks

I will make the 8-inch, 6-inch, and 4-inch cakes from one batch of batter, and then make another batch to make the 10-inch cakes.

To combine the ingredients:

First, use the mixer to whip together your butter and sugar on high for about a minute.

Once it starts to lighten, start adding the eggs. Whip one egg in, and when it’s combined completely, add the next egg.

You should finish this step by adding in the three small quantities: baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix them together on high for about one more minute.

Next, make chocolate milk! First you’ll mix up buttermilk and hot water (I like to use a buttermilk powder, reconstituted, so if you do the same, follow your package’s instructions to get one cup of buttermilk).

Then add in cocoa, in four installments. I recommend sifting it in to get clumps out.

When you’ve finished making the chocolate milk, add one cup of flour to your butter mix in the mixer and combine it with a spatula first, then whip it with the stand mixer. (If you just turn on the stand mixer, flour will probably fly everywhere.)

Next, add about half your chocolate milk to the big bowl on your mixer. Lift the beaters out and combine the liquid gently into the batter until it’s thick enough that you can return the beaters and mix again without spraying liquid everywhere. (The general rule: If it’s very dry or very wet, it’ll try to get out of the bowl, so mix it manually first!)

Then add another cup of flour. After that is combined the same way, add the rest of the chocolate milk, and combine the same way as above. Then finally, add the final cup of flour. Combine the same way and finish with a nice whipped chocolate mix.

To bake:

Set your oven to 350° F/ 175° C.

Get your pans set up. You want each to be lined with parchment paper, which you can buy in cake pan sizes or make yourself by tracing around the edge of the pan you’ll use and cutting out a parchment paper circle. You should use non-stick spray to squirt into the pan, lay the parchment circle down, and then spray the top of the paper.

Use a kitchen scale to weigh the batter. (You’ll probably need to put a bowl on the scale, zero the scale, and then dump the batter in to get a reading.) Mine was about 1500 grams. After the pans were set up for the 3 small sizes, I broke it down about like this:

• 8-inch pan: 450 g each - bake 25 min

• 6-inch pan: 325 g each - bake 25 min

• 4-inch pan: 100 g each - bake 17 min

Bake the pans at the amounts listed and set on a wire rack (in the pan) to cool when a toothpick comes out clean near the center.

(I baked one set at a time because I wanted to use the central rack.)

To cool and store:

When the cakes are finished baking, put them on wire racks to cool while still in the pans. Let them sit, cooling, for 10 minutes. Then use a frosting knife or flexible utensil to carefully run around the sides of the cake to make sure it is separated from the pan. Stick the cakes, still in the pans, into the freezer for 20 minutes.

When the cooling is complete, turn them out onto wire racks upside down, remove the parchment paper and discard.

If you are not immediately using the cake, now you should wrap the layers in plastic wrap, cover the plastic wrap in foil, and freeze. It should keep for 2 to 3 weeks.

For the 10-inch cake, I made the same recipe exactly again, but this time it's about 750 g per pan and it bakes for 32 minutes. I also used a heating core in the center to get even baking. Heating cores are pieces of metal with a base that you can use in the center of larger cakes to conduct some heat into the center and make sure they bake evenly. Usually a ten-inch cake will have trouble baking evenly because the inside will take long enough to cook through that the edges will burn before the center is done. Heating cores help! (You can also use a flower nail.)

And that's how you make 8 chocolate cakes! Now let's move on.

2. Pink Lemonade Frosting

Ingredients:

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup butter

5 tablespoons of frozen pink lemonade concentrate (thawed)

Red food coloring

Directions:

Add powdered sugar to the mixing bowl. Put in your softened sticks of butter. Mix it in with a spatula first (because otherwise it'll spray a powdered sugar dust cloud freakin everywhere--try a dishtowel around the mixer when you first start the power). Beat with an electric mixer on low until the powdered sugar is incorporated. Then use medium-high speed. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula when needed. When it's all mixed, it'll still seem dry.

Add pink lemonade concentrate, a little at a time until it seems like the proper consistency for spreading. Please note that I mean CONCENTRATE, not lemonade after it's made! (You can make pink lemonade with the remainder after, though, I did.) Also, pink lemonade is not pink enough on its own to make the color vibrant, so please use red food coloring to make it pink to your liking.

3. Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

3 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

With a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. It takes about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cream, salt, and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then use high speed and beat for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup more powdered sugar if the frosting seems too thin for spreading, or another tablespoon of cream if it looks too thick.

4. Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature

8 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Whip the butter on medium speed in your mixer for about 30 seconds. Add in the powdered sugar. Whip in about 1 cup at a time. Every time you add a cup, add a splash of cream. Add the vanilla and salt at the end and use low speed to whip it in.

5. Fondant Figures & Accents

The graduation cake has a number of decorations on it. In addition to cute diplomas and noisemakers or flowers (I can't tell which), it notably has a topper featuring the Off Colors themselves!

Fondant, a substance that can be colored, shaped, and added to cakes, is the best choice for detailed characters! And it kinda tastes like marshmallow.

I bought white fondant and colored it myself using food coloring. Gel coloring is recommended because it gets less moisture into the fondant, but I only had traditional, so I used the trick of rolling in powdered sugar to soak up excess wetness.

The colors can be hard to get right, but I persevered! Check out how I made my Fluorite:

The first image is me using a biscuit cutter a little smaller than the top tier cake to make sure the Off Colors will fit on the cake! I figured I could design for Fluorite's size and make everyone else in proportion.

I made graduation clothes for them and diplomas too!

There are also large diplomas on the sides of the cake. I made those out of rolled up fondant too, and while I was at it I made sparkly blue sprays with bangles. These are not edible, but that's common with some cake accents.

6. Cake Assembly

To assemble a cake as massive as this, you need these ingredients:

Your 8 cakes

Your 3 frostings

A cake leveler

A cutting board

A frosting knife

A bench scraper

A sharp precision knife

Cake boards in the 4 sizes

Cake drum

A rolling pin

Powdered sugar

A cake turntable

Cake tier supports

Scissors

Chocolate and yellow fondant

I will show step by step on the largest cake! Apply this set of instructions to each of the subsequent tiers.

Okay! I made a strange decision about the middle layer of the cake. If you look at how the cake looks inside, there is a thin strip of chocolate in between the two types of interior frosting. I did not want to take my chances creating a thin chocolate cake layer, so I decided to use chocolate fondant as a separator between the two frosting flavors. This is a non-traditional decision and you may choose a different option. But if you want to do it like me....

Use a cake board to measure the size of a fondant circle before you put your cake on it. Roll out the chocolate fondant and cut around the cake board to create a perfect circle.

Then put a little frosting on the cake board as an anchor. Put it on the turntable. Unwrap a cake layer. Use a cake leveler if necessary to make it flat. Plant your cake on the board.

Apply a liberal coat of chocolate frosting.

Apply the fondant circle using a spatula.

Slather that with pink lemonade frosting.

Put another (leveled) cake layer on top.

Begin covering it with the vanilla buttercream frosting.

Apply generously and use a bench scraper to smooth the sides while spinning the cake.

You may want to refrigerate it while you tackle the next cake.

I proceeded to complete this with the 8-inch cake, the 6-inch cake, and the 4-inch cake.

I ran out of chocolate fondant and decided the tiniest cake didn't need it. It's just a baby anyway. Just look at it, it is bab.

(Pictured above: finished 8-inch; leveling process on the 6-inch; frosting the 6-inch; assembling the cute 4-inch; finished 4-inch; cute handheld 4-inch. It's practically a cupcake!)

There's one more ingredient: Fondant ribbons. The cake in the show looks like it's wrapped up like a present, so you'll need wide ribbons of fondant, plus tiny curled ribbons for scattering. I was able to make these with a small package of store-bought yellow fondant rolled very thin and cut into strips.

Have these ready before you stack the cake.

To assemble, you can't just throw the cakes on each other. The weight is problematic, especially when it comes to tall cakes like this!! Because of this, you must use cake supports. I used sturdy cake straws that can be trimmed to the appropriate height. The tiers for this one should look like they're sitting on each other, so stick a straw in and measure three others by that height. Stick them in and stack the cake, adding fondant ribbons on each before stacking the next tier.

Note: I did not put ribbons on the top tier.

Finally, you're ready to add the final decorations!

Make little curls out of remaining fondant to make the confetti-style ribbons we see scattered on the front of the cake's bottom tier. You may need to re-roll the fondant after kneading it with damp hands so it won't be dried out and cracking. Scatter those ribbons!

Add the other decorations too. We need the side sprays and diplomas. I wound them around more support straws and used tape for stability.

And then, momentously, we put our Off Color fondant figures on their throne.

It's done!!!!!

Here are the success pictures.

So . . . yeah, I did that. Maybe someone else will do it too!

BABY PINK ENVELOPES FILL THE SPACE IN YOUR HANDS

humming along to the musing record that spins on the turntable the kitchen is alive with the sentimental lyrics of Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday you sway your leg over your knee as you read the bush colored letters. the quaint apartment complex fills with blissful warmth, for the maiden in the kitchen enjoys her breakfast yearning for her partner to return as quickly as he promised. analyzing the intricate curves and dips of Steven’s handwriting, it pulls you into a hypnotizing trance as your mind fills with nothing but his deep voice as you read along.

cordial elements wrapping the visible areas of skin your Valentine’s sweethearts button down doesn’t cover. it is a relaying fact that the crisp expansive piece makes your body seem petite but because of its obscene size the fabric falls past your shoulders in a graceful fashion. clumsily buttoning up the blazer wrongly that early morning, it only adds onto the carefree nature that exhibits and adds onto your soft sways and musical hums.

reaching for your steaming pink mug of milk chocolate cappuccino that lays near more open letters and more envelopes free from their wax sealings. you plan on opening all of them throughout the day, holding onto the handle you bring it up to your soft lips. attentive fingertips trace the cursive black ink of Steven’s handwriting in a lovesick gaze. the accidental ink splotches and small charcoal sketches of floral anatomy make the pace of your heart slow in a tender beat.

despite your devoted attention being on your beau’s love letters there are other envelopes that aren’t just from your Steven. although to make it easier to recognize the difference between the uninterested letter from past lovers and secret admirers Stevens envelopes are printed in your favorite shade of pink.

these darling letters that Steven is now confident to share with you are filled with small poems. being terrified of gifting you in the early phases of your relationship, your holding the multiple pages amongst pages of dazing sketches of your bodies beautiful features. paragraphs that outline his love letters to you which he kept hidden in a journal. reading and daydreaming as you take in each poetic sentence of your beau explain and sharing each love struck moment of his days that he adored spending with you.

the timeline of these letters go back from days, to weeks to whole years. it astounds you how you’ve never caught Steven in the act of writing poetry or making a love entrée yet you aren’t at all complaining. however the envelopes were a surprise to come across to when you looked over the mail. they weren’t in your daily sack delivered by the porter but laying in a huge pile on your kitchen island before he left that morning.

they went handsomely with his gifted bouquet of your favorite flowers that decorated each room of your apartment. a bud of them you found laying amongst the colorfully cream colored candles is now in your hair tucked behind your ear. Steven’s handwriting displayed on the front-

for my darling

they were just waiting for you to read and so here you are soaking in each vow hidden in his whimsical sonnets and ballads.

smelling both the sweet nectar of the flower and the divine cocoa of your cappuccino you continue reading from his letters. mirthful eyes dashing along each word of the little poem he wrote for you, the gleaming smile that frames your face doesn’t settle down one bit as you read and sing them not louder than a breathy whisper. giggling aloud and kicking your bare feet in the air when you read Steven’s beautifully crafted poetry centered and dedicated to you and only you.

the letters seem to distract you from the vast amounts of gifts, arranging from exquisitely wrapped small boxes to large gift bags bearing designer brands. Steven sent each gift along with the blush colored letters but they lie unattentively under your pedicured feet that bounce along with the turntable. singing along Billie Holidays lyrics of April in Paris as you continue to read and sip from your chocolatey cappuccino. the letters themselves are elegantly scattered onto the marble island where you bite into one of the buttery croissants that are bunched in a wooden basket you have prepared since the morning.

of course you weren’t supposed to eat alone, by all means this day of domestic and fairytale romance wasn’t suited to be spent alone. it of course isn’t suited for you in the slightest, not like you to bear this inconvenience.

in front of you -well behind the sketches your dreamily admiring- rests a large breakfast consisting of baked sweet and savory pastries, sunny yellow omelets and fresh ripe fruit. the early meal was suppose to be a little feast for both you and the public hero but of course your heroic beau had his urgent errands to run. a phone call rudely interrupted the session of your passionate lips and tongues destine to spiral you both on the cloud of desire.

the ringtone acting as nothing but an irritating background noise, it cause the blond to pull away to deal with it. walking away from you and out of your private bathroom suite and as obvious as this is going to sound- Steven didn’t decline the call. from your position as you sat on the marble and gold flecked kitchen sink, your hand rests on the golden swan at the faucet.

listening as you heard him hum along to whatever the dispatcher had to say before hanging up and heard his footsteps coming closer and there you say your lover. smiling to him as you pulled him towards you, lips gracing his he cut the devastating news to you of his unplanned errands. apologizing to you with a kiss but ending it with a promise for an intimate dinner reservation he did plan beforehand.

then with a change of clothes, he was out the door but you willed yourself to not be upset at him. your Steven always kept his promises and you were still swooning over the lovely events that happened last night that still show the results of it all on your skin and a delicious soreness in between your legs. ending passionately in wine soaking your thoughts and actions you both headed to your apartment and tangled in your sheets. you now are wearing his button up he wore to the dinner reservation that night, slightly wrinkled yet smelling of Stevens entrancing cologne.

it brings you back to that night and you could still feel the searing butterfly traces of his lips along your collarbones, neck and breasts. dainty and vivid as the white sunshine that streams through the high white apertures of your apartment.

it’s all beautifully cinematic

the music playing on the record as you enjoy your breakfast while reading your lovers letters to you. chocolate spread used to smear over the flaky pastry in your hand smears the corners of your lips and you wish Steven is here to thumb it away. a sorrow filled sigh break through your lips, knowing these letters are all you have of him at the moment as he’s out busy at Stark Tower doing only god knows what and bumping heads with only god knows who. silence only greets those thoughts and you realize that the collection of records playing your favorite romance artists have stopped sounding out their hearty tunes.

frowning, you get up and replay the record before returning back to the kitchen and to your seat. hands go back to the letters and your heart warms up in a matter of blissful seconds, cheery contentment dawning your face in delightful charm. although a question still dances along the crowded ballroom of your mind-

whatever will you do with the time you have alone on Valentine’s Day awaiting for your beau?

it is only eight in the morning, Stevens plans are set around nine tonight and you could do so much more than just doll yourself up. finishing your lavish breakfast you begin tidying up once you place another record on the sitting room turntable. the music flowing throughout the large and finely furnished apartment, it creates a heavenly picturesque glow that brightens the golden framed paintings and renaissance clawfoot furniture.

you feel like an old Hollywood actress staring in her romantic comedy, it makes you nothing but languorous glee. the beauty of your vivid imagination pulling your typewritten script and setting your scenes to hear the director yell action! manifesting the movie with each pirouetting step, you feel the timeless sensation of Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor gracing down on from the heavens.

singing along with the records, recited movie lines from Breakfast At Tiffany’s and Rear Window. romantically immortal films consisting of elegant tailored outfits of Chanel and Moschino that the leading actress would flirt with her on screen partner, long and lust filled stares between your lover and the epitome of transatlantic accents that would make an European swoon.

the craftsmanship of your fantasy aiding you by hiding away any untouched breakfast foods, biting into a jam filled puff pastry you keep the sweet confectionery in between your teeth as you organize Steven’s letters. filing them from the ones you have read, that you carefully fold back into their envelops- to the ones you plan on reading later. clearing them away safely on an ivory tabletom dancing along with the beat of the record.

pulling yourself back into the visionary scene of your beloved vintage films, a baby blue Dior headband frames your heads crown and keeps your untamed bed hair away from your temple as you start a kettle of tea. retrieving your personally cherished china set from your glassy cupboards, soaking your desired teabags, home grown herbs and honey dewdrops into the separate porcelain teapot. turning the nob on the stovetop off once the screeching kettle ready with boiling water becomes louder than the music, it quietly dies down and you hum as you place the boiling water into the small porcelain teapot.

steam erupting, its soothing when the scorching water drenches in the tea ingredients that begin to linger a sweet smelling scent. peachy cheeks soft and dewy as the sweet sunshine bounces off them, you carefully unfold each divinely wrapped box covered with glossy ribbons and confetti gift bag covered in strawberry scented tissue paper. blowing and sipping from your tea cup, you tenderly bundle Stevens button up around you as you examine his gift.

each eye grabbing and more expansive with each one passing you look over the heavy offering of baby pink and cream tulle trimmed Agent Provocateur lingerie. the occasion of lacey babydolls and pink fury teddys holding cupid hearts coming once with every three bags you also discover the silver Tiffany charms in powdered pistachio blue boxes. pastel pink heart-shaped pastel boxes of Chardonnet et Walker pink marc de champagne truffles make your mouth tingle.

mink coats and cashmere sweaters dedicated to wrap you nice and warm in the snowy weather. a starlight smile shines at the fact of Steven remembering you looking through a few catalogues days after New Years. princess cut Dior earrings that shine like dangling stars and heart-shaped Prada handbags that would make any winged cherub strike their golden arrows into.

Steven always went above and beyond with your Valentine gifts and you weren’t even halfway done with opening the boxes and bags but seemed fit to prepare yourself for the day ahead of you.

curves swaying along with Louis Armstrong's flaunting trumpet and Ella Fitzgerald's sweetly divine vocals once you get from your criss-crossed position on the floor. passing the wrapping paper and ribbon bows scattered in a sprawled lovecore mess, you make your way to your bedroom. bare feet adding against the carpet, passing golden framed body length mirrors and vase upon vase of flowers and burning candles. a silver tray bearing the porcelain petunia painted tea kettle, china tea cup and Stevens letters in your hands.

entering your open bedroom filled with crisp sunshine, your eyes dash over to your mess of a bed. white sheets that once held two giggling and kissing lovers is now empty with the exception of your pet laying lazily on the wrinkled plush comforter. blowing a kiss to the sleeping fluffy beauty before opening the molded white door to your private suite.

dancing along the white marble of the floor you run your bathtub full of hot water. taking your time preparing your dress and the lingerie you’ll wear tonight, it wasn’t exactly easy. Steven took a great joy in gifting you all the luxuries of jewelery, lingerie and clothing you desired, took great joy in fucking you in them as well. but as you enter the bathroom and exit to go through your wardrobe in your closets you go through boxes upon boxes of lingerie.

rummaging the organized baby pink boxes that you took hours organizing, you did realize that some bralettes were missing their panties yet you remember your gentlemen liked keeping a pair or two in his office when he’s away. you settle with not wearing anything Steven bought you but what you ordered on a website that caught your attention, more so intrigued of the fabulous singer and actress who ran the brand.

the divine deep red Valentines Day pieces of Fenty Lingerie were expansive but so was your credit card as you ordered the whole collection. hiding the box away from Steven and his too curious grasps you now reveal the box and open it. taking out the desired heart bralettes and Gartier belted thigh highs that went along with the lewd sheer panties you let out a delightful squeal at the thought of Steven ripping off your silk slip dress to reveal this sinful number.

sipping from your tea, you go through your jewelry boxes settled on seashell chests on your vanity. retrieving your dearest diamond accessories to go along with the slip dress you head back to the bathroom. the water rising to your favorable height you fill the marble crest with rose petals, rose oils, rose water and rose bubble bath. of course, with Steven’s relentless showing of gifts there were enough Italian imported red wines for you to bathe in but you settled for your rose bath set that was tucked in the corners of your towel closet.

burning Diptyque candles around the tub, you settle your delicate cup down on the tray. departing from your beaus button down, you sink your feet and body into the floral water glowing in pearly bubbles smelling just the tint of sea salt. dissolving your thoughts and worries in the soft pink-hued mist your hands reach for Steven’s letters. carefully undoing the crimson wax seal your fingers grasp the letter and polaroid photographs it holds.

giggling when you read that this specific letter is about you and Stevens first time. reading along the lines of his amusing embarrassment of him not knowing what he was doing exactly it still warms your heart when he stated in his own writing that he was grateful and happy to share that moment with you.

the letter going into detail of all the moments that break you into laughter- such as when you and Steven rolled off your bed unaware as you and him were to wrapped in the passion- to your face heating up when he went into erratic detail of his hand placements on your ‘Aphrodite like body encouraging the Aries affair to overturn gracefully, to repent in no favor but yours’.

not being ashamed to write down every moment of the midnight passion. from the way you tongues and lips were locked and didn’t dare separate for air, to how his hands ripped your clothes into shreds ‘to praise and worship the skin that sparkled and shone like buried treasures for my hands to caress’. a heavenly burn begins fluttering in between your bubble sud thighs when you look over the polaroid's. some you took and some he took but all in all they showed you and him doing, well-

your first time

a slow hand that doesn’t hold the scandalous polaroid's flows down to your bubble covered breast. pinching the nipple, the sensation only sends the pleasure down south to your hidden jewel. biting your bottom lip, you crave for Steven’s hands. crave his lips, crave his touch...

generally, his attention but you cannot go past your golden rule no matter how good the thought of your fingers stroking your folds sounds. knowing its best to not break the rule of touching yourself without his permission the thought of it sits pleasantly in your head. trying to distract yourself the growing sensation with his other letters and plucking one of the fifty fluffy macaroons that lie on the pretty Laudree packaging.

Steven gifted you all the luxuries that would substitute his absence, but all you ever wanted was him

heart thumping in this truth you again attempt to distract yourself with his blush colored letter. cooing at Stevens cute sketches of you and reading poems dedicated to his first impression when meeting you- but you cannot think of anything or concentrate on anything but the first letter. giving cheating glances back to the polaroid's, your glance is captivated by Steven’s handsome and muscled physique in the contrasted filter. the faintly colored noir-film like pictures emphasizing on his golden skin rippling against the sheets caging you in with his arms.

the night replays with the jazz music in the ballroom of your mind, throwing your head back you feel yourself underneath him just as you were then. hands in his hair and his clenching the sheets besides your head when you kiss passionately as he rubbed his hard member against your forbidden fruit.

it didn’t help your case at all that you’re embellishing that night into your thoughts. it’s only making you desire your sweetheart more and more, needing him more and more as the minutes passed.

wanting- no, craving to hear the sweet music that is his voice

yearning to descry the divine tinge of his tongue clicking to his teeth when you says your name so sweetly. to imagine the movement of his tulip petal lips as he speaks his ‘I love you’s’ like a prayer and he’s on his knees for a goddess.

oh you needed it just as much as his instructions on how to handle your distressing state. realizing the soft pink dial telephone that stood at the opposite side of the tub you bite your lip in thought.

should you call Steven?

it makes you wonder, shifting against the water careful to not spill any over the edge. chewing on a raspberry macaroon at the thought, you pout not knowing exactly what you’d say. you and Steven have been in a relationship for years now, it should be simple to call your lover and talk to him about this yet a sparking idea light up like a shimmering star above your head.

you and Steven were both helpless for dirty talk, your words and underlying message would pull him out of whatever he was in to cater to help you with your problem.

your thundering impatience and searing lust had shameless minds of their own as you pulled the cushioned ottomon closer to you and dialed Steven’s office number through the rotary disc. heart strumming along with the music continuing to play in the distance you do not exhale a breath as you hear the sound of the phone dialing. the powdered pink handset in your hands. chin resting on the rim of the porcelain tub as your lips brush against the mouthpiece in the shape of a heart.

when the dial ends with the sounds of him about to speak a gleaming smile radiates off your lips, pulling the handset closer to you to speak.

“Steven!” your giggle that follows afterwards makes a dimpled smile pull at the blond’s lips and he lightly chuckles.

your presence melting away anything else that captured his attention away from you. fortunately you weren’t the only one craving the love and affection of your partner, Steven was in a busy meeting with Tony and the other avengers at the grey and stern table. argued his way through and pursuing a solution to the worldly crisis that was in their hands but with the progress he’s making he’s sure to help the team come to an agreement.

“how are you doing, my love? did you enjoy your gifts? i’m counting down the hours till I pick you up for our reservation. treat you how you should be treated today,” Steven’s tender words breaks your dreamy state and your wispy babydoll lashes flutter at the sound of his voice.

“well right now i’m taking a bath. drinking some tea, reading your letters and i just so happened to cross on this one specific letter…” your teasing voice flowing through the mouthpiece and into Steven’s ears.

striking his brain, trying to comprehend what you're saying and trying to decipher whether your giggles are aimed towards him or onto something else. you made it known how much of a tease you were, from your suggestive dresses you’d torture him with when you’d attend gala’s to your shameless yet elegant class as you’d whisper all the dirty things you want him to do you once you two got home.

indeed it worked like a charm, sometimes it left little self control as he’d take you in that backseat of the sleek vehicle. it’s definitely working now

“alright what are going on about you little minx?” Steven states, a tint of his dominance in his voice but you continue to drift in your fit of giggles as you bend your knee to your chest in exuberance.

pulling Steven’s letters that rest besides the silver tray of macaroons and tea, you hug them to your chest as you reread his paragraphs upon paragraphs of his thunderous thoughts and detailed emotions ravaging you in sinful detail.

“oh, nothing Stevie... just couldn’t stop thinking about a little something, do wanna know about it?”

“absolutely darling. anything is better then being in that room with those blockheads,” Steven didn’t know he said that thought aloud but you don’t care.

you’re panning on relieving the throbbing pleasure pulsing at your slicked core and maybe undo some stress he’s under if he’s a fair distance away from wandering ears.

“will do Captain, ‘the second our mouths collided was an ambrosial taken place. a supernova in labor between our bodies thriving to find our peak, creating a cosmos of divination as her walls wrapped around my cock. the indescribable pleasure as unforgettable as the dimple at the corner of your fiery lips and enchanting sparkle in her eyes. the moans that flowed from her mouth soft and encouraging-

“‘-as I wrapped her thighs over my shoulder and thrusted my cock deeper and deeper into her forbidden fruit. her sweet, forbidden fruit so sweet I wouldn’t dare reject if a serpent offered so.’ I was hoping you’d read that special one, you need to understand how lovesick I was for you then. i’m still lovesick about you now but its gotten impossibly stronger now than before.”

that statement makes you shift in the water, rubbing your thighs together as your fingers rest in between them. imagining its Steven’s large hand that’s pinned at the plushness, however you’re yearning for the warmth, security and skill they hold that your hands don’t nearly possess.

“lovesick you say?” you purr, the sinful sound rolling off your tongue it makes roses blush on Stevens cheeks.

an unknown tightness of his trousers making itself known, he grits his teeth at your tactic but he cannot help it. he gives in so easily for you, it impossible to repent and withold

“yes doll, i’m lovesick. lovesick for you and only you. now answer your Captain, did you enjoy your gifts?” his voice growing and deepening, lust soaking his thoughts and hardening his member at the thoughts of you, you, you.

holding the phone in between your ear and should as you pluck another macaroon from the assortment. a smirk plays on your lips knowing that your plan is working, you can here his little grits and groans as he locks his office door.

“I did enjoy your gifts Captain, and I love the fact that seventy percent of them all are tiny pretty things that barely cover my body. I love giving you a good show when you get home from work,” your voice smooth as the buttercream roses you decorate with your heart-shaped cakes.

your free hand tweaks at your nipple, the remands of strawberry vanilla from your previous macaroon stick on your tongue but how how you want to taste the pre cum that leaks from Steven’s tip. the filthy thought has you abandoning your breast to give attention to your cunt, a whimper excluding your lips when it burns so good at just the touch.

“mhm I knew you’d enjoy them doll. you always pull such good performances for me in them. so sweet and pretty, all for me to rip it off you,” you don’t mean to slip past a moan as your fingers rub your pearl but it’s too late to take it back when he hear Stevens stern exhale.

“are you touching yourself sweetheart?” his voice isn’t smooth and suave no more but raspy and demanding, making your fingers stop their rubbing motion.

“n-no,” you fib but all you want to do is sink in the bubbly warm water when you hear Steven darkly chuckle.

“don’t lie to your Captain sweetheart. are you touching yourself? tell the truth,” you gulp at that, mouth shaking as you bring the sound piece of the handset closer to your lips. internally hoping and praying that Steven will give in to you, even when you’re breaking a golden rule.

“yes. yes I am Captain,” your breathy whisper holds all the euphoria and lust you're body is swimming in and it doesn’t help that you hear the metal clank of a belt unbuckling.

“without my permission?” you can’t decipher his voice, whether or not he’s angry or disappointed your fingers stop tracing the bubbly surface of the pink tinted water.

“y-yes, Captain- but I just couldn’t help it! you left me and my mess alone this morning. i’m so lonely here without you,” you mellow, your fingers once again tracing your lower lips.

not daring to plunge them deeper once you hear the light sound of Stevens heavy breath fanning into your ear. shivers sending up and down your spine deliciously, it’s like he’s here with you now even when he’s on the other side of the city.

“mhm, you just couldn’t help it, sugar can’t you? you need me right now don’t you sweet girl? you need your Captain to help you?” nodding hysterically along with him.

coming to a realization that your lover can’t see you nod your head, your pretty lips you’d let him kiss and use any day pull into a pout. knowing you’re going to have to beg him to allow yourself to touch your pussy.

well, his pussy

“yes please! I-I need you Ste- Captain! please I need you!” your breathy voice begs and on the other end Steven has a smirk playing on his handsome face.

it’s hours until he’ll be done with his meeting and hours until he picks you up for your dinner reservation but he’s in your debt. you never know this but Steven was sprawled in your hand, whatever you desired and needed he’ll give you within the snap of his fingers. if you needed him when he’s away, he’ll make it seem he’s right near the tub. guiding your fingers in and out of your hole and leaving praises and affirmations into your ear.

“how can I say no to you doll?”

A Winters Tale

Pairings: Gwilym Lee x Reader

Word Count: 1,037

Setting: London, England

Disclaimer: Hello to all my fellow Gwilym fans out there, I’m back with a new piece written as part as the Get Down, Give Joy Gift Exchange. This beautiful, fluffy tale is for @heyjonesey, hope you enjoy dear :)

Gentle snowflakes gracefully fell in swirling patterns towards the frosted ground. Music played softly from the turntable placed in the corner of the room as you sat on the wooden window ledge, dainty fingers wrapped around the porcelain cup that was filled with the steaming hot liquid that was contrasted with the world outside.

Unlike past years, you had decided to spend Christmas at home in London. Big family gatherings and loads of questions about your love life was what you were trying to avoid.

True you had a wonderful man in your life but your family were yet to find out, that would be left to the New Year.

You and Gwilym had met through mutual friends. One blind date, which you admittedly thought would end up in being a total waste of time, ended up bringing the sweet Welshman into your life. Lonely evenings after long days at work seemed to look more appealing as you’d rush out the tube station towards the one place that used to feel less homey but now was the most exciting part of your days.

Months passed and it was like two souls had reunited, to any stranger, you both looked like you’d known each other for years. The chemistry was there and anyone who glanced at how Gwil looked at you could see that you were both so in love.

This Christmas would be the first you’d spend together. The snow was bad enough to strand anyone in a busy city, so the decision was definitely a sensible one.

You were pulled from your deep concentration on the tiny fluttering of snowflakes by two strong arms winding round your frame and pulling you to a warm torso. Tilting your head up to look, your gaze was met with those beautiful blue eyes that seemed to twinkle every time you looked into them.

“How’s the cocoa, Cariad?” his welsh drawl never ceased to make your heart swell, even if it was just simple words and phrases, you did your best to learn them.

“It’s perfect, you should give up your acting career and become a barista. This...” you held up the mug “would put Starbucks to shame”

Gwil let out a soft chuckle as he stole a sip which earned him a playful nudge. “I see the snow has started again, how about we go across to the street and act like kids for a while?” he asked as he lay his chin on your head.

Pretending to think for a prolonged period of time, you finally nodded before placing the mug down on the unit. “But only if you promise that we make a snowman”

“I sincerely promise that we will make a wonderful snowman” he grinned as he gave you the scouts honour before moving to pull his jacket and boots on.

Despite wearing a hat, the snow gathered in the locks of your hair as you crossed the road into the small park hand in hand with Gwil. There was something about being the firsts to lay footprints in the freshly fallen blanket of snow that brought a smile to your face.

Hours passed in a blur as you both forgot about your real ages and frolicked around in the cold. Soaked and freezing, you both returned back inside.

The simple task of building a snowman quickly had turned into a snowball fight after Gwil threw the first shot hitting your back followed by another, then another before it was a full-blown war fuelled by childish sniggers and joking.

As your other half set out to make another batch of his signature warm beverage, you took to your childhood tradition of building a pillow fort. Furrowing your brows in concentration, you worked hard to place the cushions in a way that the gentle giant himself would fit inside. Being over six foot, Gwilym was a giant compared to your small stature. It made kisses interesting and never boring.

Cuddling up to share the body warmth of each other, you both decided on watch “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation”. It was a favourite of Gwil’s, he gasped once you had mentioned the week before that you had never seen it. Insisting that on Christmas Eve, that it just had to be watched.

Your laughter lit up the room and each time it escaped your lips, the Welshman couldn’t help but gaze at you in adoration. Just this time the year before was he gearing up for another lonely Christmas back home in Wales. His busy recording schedule made it hard for him to find someone to spend those breaks with but here you were, by his side, understanding if he had to take a rain check because filming over ran, supportive of his decision to go for auditions and try new things. In Gwilym’s eyes you were perfect.

The end credits rolled, his blue eyes moving to see your reaction but instead his heart melted. You had fell asleep curled into his side. The mix of his warmth and exhaustion from all the running about had tired you out. Strands of hair fell to cover shut eyes. Your cheeks pink from the warm glow off the fire place that you both sat near in your own little fort.

His large hand gently caressed your back in soothing circles as he flicked through Netflix for something else to watch. He tried not to move too much as not to disturb you.

An angel was what he would’ve described you as in that moment to anyone who asked. The way your hair framed your face, the soft shadows highlighting your features and the glow from the fire all accented just how angelic you were.

The remote was discarded as he leaned down to place a gentle kiss on top of your head. His full attention on the sweetheart that lay asleep beside him.

“I know you might not hear this as your away in dream land but I love you, (Y/N). I’ve known for quite a while now and have been waiting for the right moment to say it. You’re everything I could ever think of and I’m truly honoured to be spending Christmas with you. I love you, Cariad”
