Ficletty Thing

[ravelqueen]

In celebration of the H5-0 Blowout have a random dialogue ficlet inspired by my weird love for oatmeal

"Oatmeal, really Danno? Is that what you normally make on a morning after?"

"Oh shut your trap, be happy I'm making breakfast at all. Also, I thought you would be all over this, it's health food right. Nutritious and everything. Judging by your normal criticism of my food choices, seems like you should be shouting Hallelujah that I didn't serve you sugar with maple syrup"

"Healthy food is fruit, vegetables and maybe a protein shake. This is for when you have the flu, Danny"

"One, do not laugh at me, we are in my house and I <i>will</i> throw you out without the most important meal of the day and what would your boy-scout friends say to that. Second, the only fruit that is cheap and readily available around my apartment are pineapples, by virtue of my neighbour selling them on his frontporch and those don't deserve to be called food much less healthy. Third, sit down and eat your fucking breakfast, god we are already late without your bitching."

"My bitching?"

"I can see you smirking and thinking, but not eating and this is not how this is supposed to go."

"Just, why oatmeal?"

"Steven."

"No, seriously I'm not mocking, you got a kid obviously you know how to make food for sick-days, only we are not sick and it's hot outside and I don't believe you making this just to satisfy my desire to live healthy."

"I felt like making oatmeal, ok?"

"..."

"Argh, it's just...I don't know why, but for some reason oatmeal is comfort food for me, alright. When I'm feeling uncomfortable or grumpy or kind of crappy it just...cheers me up..."

"Does that mean you feel....uncomfortable? About this? About us?"

"NO! No, not at all, but I mean..I just thought, you might. You know with the crossing of boundaries, work and private life getting mixed up and everything..."

"So, to stop me from having a heterosexual panic attack...you made oatmeal."

"Oh, shut up! And stop grinning like a loon, you can't eat that way and then we will be really late and seeing as I kind of have an asshole as boss, I may then not be in the best of moods this evening. So if you want to avoid this, eat your fucking breakfast."

"Yes, Danno"
