Breakfast (Trick/Cocoa)
"And then he just kissed me. Like, smack dab on the lips and all. I mean, he said it was a dare by Coffee, but I don’t know if that makes it much better, because it felt so sincere and if it was just a dare, that just makes it all the more confusing for me for some reason." Cocoa bit into her pancake. It was almost admirable how quickly she dug through these, thought Trick, pouring some maple syrup onto his own.
"Was it good?", he asked, grabbing the chocolate syrup to put that on top of the maple one.
"Huh?" She blushed as little as she looked up to him. Yeah, she’d probably understood him just fine.
"Is he a good kisser?", Trick repeated anyways, this time notably louder as if talking to an old woman. She blushed even more and tried to hide behind her pancake.
"…yeah I… I think so…", she replied quietly.
"Hm… Interesting. I have been wanting to check out his skills for aw-ow!” Trick grinned despite the pain in his shin. It was just too cute when Cocoa couldn’t decide if she was flustered or offended or both and puffed up her cheeks with an adorable glare while she blushed.
Even when she also kicked him under the table.
"No! Bad Trick! No smoochin the Nouncer!", she grumbled, taking another big bite of her breakfast.
"Why, are you jealous?" His grin got even wider. "Don’t worry, I-"
They both hadn’t even noticed the sound of a key being turned around in the lock of the apartment door. The fact that Announcer had entered the place only occured to them when he suddenly stood in the doorframe to the kitchen, staring at them while being frozen in place.
"It’s… not how it looks?", tried Cocoa, well aware that with her wearing little more than a shirt and Trick still having a towel from the shower around his hips and nothing else, it probably looked a lot like Trick had stayed for something different than a casual movie night and a few glasses of wine the day prior. Which wasn’t the case. There was a perfectly valid and PG 13 explanation for the current situation. It was a pretty long explanation and it sounded very shady, but it was absolutely true.
"…but if it was, would you like to join u-OW!"
Well, at least now both of Tricks shins hurt equally much.
