Sneaking around a corner, he listened with a grin as Raven suggested making tasty treats for him of all people. His heart clenched against the bubble of happiness growing inside of him.

"Did I hear something about cupcakes and strawberries?" he goaded, giving the girl a hug before stepping closer to Bane with a giant grin on his face. He knew he got the drop on them this time and the sparkle of mischief made his brown eyes bright. "Hey," The word came out breathy as he looked at the other man. "Miss me?"
