Cake maker

Did I fall asleep? I groggily came to as I raised my head and looked around, I was surprisingly not in front of my front door anymore but I was now tucked into the covers of Prisma and I's bed. I looked to my left expecting to see her but found the covers bare of anypony laying next to me.

A noise brought me out of my stupor as I slowly pushed the covers off of me and plopped myself onto the floor. I stumbled a bit as I walked to the bedroom door that was now slightly cracked open, I took the handle with a hoof and pushed softly as I the creakiness of the wooden door showed itself.

I strained my eyes to look past the darkness of the staircase and down to where a few wisps of light were ever so slightly edged around the corner at the start of the stairs.

I took one step downwards in search of the cause of the light, and as I reached the end of the stairs I found myself bumping into a taller figure. I looked at the pony I bumped into and my worry turned to contentment, ''Prisma? You're home unusually late today''.

I caught a whiff of something all too familiar with Prisma and felt my eyes narrow a bit. ''Why do I smell alcohol on you? You know how I feel about you drinking!'' my voice was laced with worry as I quickly moved towards her and hugged her ''you know what happened last time..''

I heard a hesitant sigh as I heard her using her horn to do something I couldn't see.

She took a few seconds to turn off the lights of the kitchen and turned back to face me, ''i'm really sorry about that.. T-the girls at work persuad-d-ed me into going out drinking with them''. She put a hoof to the back of her head as I moved back a bit with her still in my grasp ''I didn't go overboard like the rest of them alright? I'm just a bit tipsy is all!''

This transformed my worry into annoyance and slight anger ''but Prisma! You knew it was our anniversary today! I wanted to spend the day with you, I even baked a cake.. All for nothing!'' I removed my hooves from around her and stared at her unfocused eyes.

''Are you sure you're even tipsy? You're not even responding to me!'' I lifted a wing in front of her slow moving eyes and asked her to follow my movements.

She just used her hoof to push my wing down and back into my side.

''C'mon Cake.. I'm fine a-and I didn't forget our anniversary! L-look I got you something while I was out!'' she quickly did a 180 turn and rushed over to her saddle bags parked a few feet away from the staircase. I just as quickly followed her as she fumbled a bit and lost her footing and caught her by her black elongated tail.

''S-see!'' I was too busy lifting her heavy form back onto her hooves as she pushed a floating object into my muzzle that I accidentally let her fall onto the ground as I took the floating object out of her aura and examined it closely with a slight ajar mouth.

''OOF!''

I turned and rolled the circular object between my hooves in confusion.

''What exactly is this?''

The mare I questioned shakily got up from the ground with an audible groan and responded with a disgruntled tone. ''It's a interchangeable cake pan..'' she took the pan from my hooves with her magic as she tried balancing herself on her own four hooves.

''L-like I said.. And interchangeable cake pan, I know how you love baking goods and well.. You know. Cake!'' I took the pan back from her and looked up to face her tinted red cheeks and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

I turned around to examine the pan closer and failed to notice her doing something behind me before I was suddenly filled with the scent of.. Alcohol? I placed the pan in between my feathers as I turned around to find Prisma.. Drinking from a bottle of ''cider''.

''Hard cider?'' I waited a few seconds after asking the question to try and conceal my rising anger. 'not now Frost.. Keep calm' I watched as she held the bottle a few feet away from her lips as she gulped down the original sip and turned to face me ''o-oh? The girls though that si-ince I didn't drink as much as they did.. That I should take.. A bottle.. Ho-'' my outburst interrupted her.

''I though you already knew that I didn't want you drinking? We went over this just a few minutes ago! What in Faust's name do you think you are doing drinking ci-- not even cider... Hard cider! I-... I!

I didn't even finish my sentence as I quickly bounded over to her and swiped the cider from her hooves in such a quick motion that lead her increasingly intoxicated confused and looking at her hoof.

I walked backwards a few feet away from her as I let my anger speak for me. ''You have the audacity to not only come home late on our anniversary! Bring me a cheap fix me up of a present to try and win me over about you drinking... And try to drink behind my back as if my worry for you meant nothing! I've been preparing for this special day for the longest time.. Just for you to up and say ''buck it! I'm going out drinking! Buck my stallion! i'm bucking going to bring him a present I bought from the corner store and bring home alcohol to drink behind his back!''

Prisma was incoherently trying to calm me down as I continued ''you know how easy you get drunk!'' I took the half empty bottle in my hand and threw it with all my force onto the ground, resulting in a wave of glass flying into the air as I flew a bit in the air and fished out the pan I was given by her and threw it at her.

Which expectantly bonked her in the muzzle as I watched her face form from one of confusion, to anger, to shock and now just anger.

We both stared at each other in silence, with only my slightly fastened breathing to fill both of our ears.

Since a few minutes of us just staring at each other went by, I decided with huff, to fly back towards the stairs. Though in my anger I did not notice Prisma with her horn ignited as I was only able to fly halfway up the stairs before I felt my tail being roughly grabbed onto.

I looked back in confusion before trying to flap my wings again in vain, her barely visible magical aura was gripping tightly onto my tail and as I struggled to move, I was painfully pulled back and felt my back collide with the wooden floor.

''Urrk!''

I lay back in pain against the floor for what seemed like hours before I was met with Prisma's hoofsteps making their way closer to me. I gathered my strength and went to lift myself up before I was pushed back onto the floor by an invisible force.

My eyes closed in reflex as I felt her muzzle press against my ears as she spoke and sent shivers down my spine.

''I'm tired of you're shit''.
