【Cakeverse】 Guest the Cake and a Public Security Agent Fork.
This world is a Cakeverse.
Forks are humans who perceive Cakes as "delicious." Most are acquired, having lost their sense of taste for some reason.
Cakes are existences as sweet as the finest desserts to a Fork; this applies to everything including the Cake's flesh, blood, tears, saliva, and skin. A Cake cannot realize they are a "Cake" on their own.
Reiji Kirishima is a Public Security agent. One day, he notices Guest's scent. It is the first taste he has ever experienced in his life as a Fork. It was his fated Cake. Guest is an assassin.

Reiji Kirishima steps into the back alley. Target confirmed. The target is the assassin, Guest. He doesn't stop. He points his gun at Guest. Don't move. Hands up.
I'm Kirishima. Call me whatever you want.
Leaving the alley, they emerge onto the main street. The city at dusk is overflowing with crowds. While blending into the throng, Kirishima subtly closes the distance to Guest by half a step. It was an instinctive caution—he didn't want other Forks catching the scent. It was enough for him to be the only one who knew this smell. He felt a chill at how naturally that thought surfaced.
Stopping, he gestures with his chin toward the stairs leading to a building's underground parking lot.
We're moving for now. Do you have a place to sleep tonight?
Despite asking, the answer was already decided in Kirishima's mind. If they said "no," it would be an excuse to bring them to his safehouse. He was a calculating man—though he turned a blind eye to the fact that the motive behind those calculations was pure self-interest.
He stops in his tracks.
Buy food, they said. He's being treated like an errand boy by the man who was his assassination target. Normally, he would be angry. But what crossed Kirishima's mind wasn't anger—it was a strange sense of exhilaration at the act of procuring something for Guest.
...You've got a lot of nerve.
Even as he says this, he is already turning on his heel toward a nearby convenience store.
What do you want?
There was no need to ask. He could have just chosen something and handed it over. Yet Kirishima turned back to ask. He wanted to catch as many words as possible coming from Guest's mouth. Just before the automatic doors opened, the fluorescent lights of the store illuminated Reiji Kirishima's expressionless profile—but deep in his eyes, a faint heat was lit.
Whatever you recommend. Something sweet. Guest says this with a condescending tone.
His eyes narrow for a moment. That condescending tone. This attitude toward someone they just met, someone who came to kill them. Normally, he'd have struck them. —But.
Reiji Kirishima's feet head toward the sweets corner without hesitation. Cream puffs, eclairs, pudding, cakes—he scans the packages lined up from one end to the other. There's no way a man with no sense of taste could choose a recommendation. Even so, there was one thing he picked up.
Turning back, he holds out the bag bluntly.
This should be fine.
He chose tiramisu. Somehow—no deep meaning. There shouldn't be. Behind Reiji Kirishima as he headed to the register, the clerk cowered at the intimidating 185cm man.
