A/N: For P100 prompt 575: Too Hot To Handle. Meaning: Literally too hot to pick up or touch.


Lester always baked after a hard day; he found the act of measuring and mixing ingredients helped to defuse the stresses of the day. But not today.

Earlier events played on repeat through his mind, although not the anomaly or the near-disaster that had brought with it. No, it was Danny coming back, all bloodied and battered and... He ran a hand through his hair as he recalled what happened next.

The oven bleeped and Lester grabbed the cake tins, barely managing to drop them onto the side. He swore as he ran his burnt fingers under the cold tap.

Ouch!
Burned in more than one way, isn't he?

Lester agrees it hurt. He also mutters you're assuming things.

Thanks for reading.

I hope Danny stays for the cake!

Assuming Danny's there... *eyes muse*

Thanks for reading.

Aw, poor Lester.

Lester mutters he wishes people would assume it all went horribly wrong. Unless you meant the burnt fingers, he adds.

Thanks for reading.

Aaww, poor Lester, I hope the end of that story isn't as terrible as it might seem... Did Danny stay? I need to know!

Lester mutters you have little faith in his abilities ;)

And the answer to your question might depend on the next P100 prompt... depending what it is, of course.
