[powerisyours]

[ the lab is clean, the table's set, the dogs are securely out of the way, and the candle on a small cake sitting on the counter's lit. all that's missing is the birthday girl, and this dude's watching the door like a hawk, drumming his fingers on the tabletop impatiently

What's that?

[powerisyours]

[ there's a grin getting wider on his face ]

You still haven't had your cake.

[ridestherider]

You mean shoving it into my face didn't count?

[powerisyours]

Well, did you eat any of it, or did I lick it off your face?

[ridestherider]

"Eat" is not the word that I would use, no.

[powerisyours]

[ climbing up to his feet and pulling her along with him ]

Then let's eat cake.

[ridestherider]

Fine, but no more fighting with it. I just washed my hair, and now I have to do it again already.

[powerisyours]

Eh, I'll do it for you later.

[ tugging her toward the table again and cutting another slice--this time actually putting it on a plate and handing it over ]

[ridestherider]

[Taking it, but making a show of warily eyeing him as a joke.]

[powerisyours]

[ hands are in the air and away from the cake!! super innocent ]

Well?

[ridestherider]

Not bad, for someone who never cooks.

[powerisyours]

I got to use real sugar this time!

[ he seems super excited about it ]

[ridestherider]

Sadly, at the cost of my coffee, but I am glad the Splenda's gone.

[powerisyours]

You just need to get used to the tea. Brewed properly it's just as strong.

[ridestherider]

It's not coffee.

[powerisyours]

I'm sure we could find coffee flavoring somewhere.

[ridestherider]

[This look says 'still not coffee,' because she has cake in her mouth.]

[powerisyours]

Alright, alright. I promise to get you the biggest cup of coffee you can handle over vacation.

[ridestherider]

Deal.

[powerisyours]

Or if they unban it. Whichever comes first.

[ridestherider]

They should unban it regardless! This crosses the line into cruel and unusual, you know.

[powerisyours]

Think of it as a way to detox and cleanse your body.

[ridestherider]

And why would I need to do that?

[powerisyours]

It's healthy?

[ridestherider]

I have better abs than you do, I am healthy.
