Superherp amelia/eli eating pancakes (idek but i like their dynamic)
Amelia is pretty sure that’s the twelfth pancake he just shoved into his mouth.
“Remind me,” she says, carefully carving off a piece of her second. “When we take this thing and get our first job, to just show your eating habits to the villain. They'll keel over in horror."
Eli grins at her, and she doesn't need foresight to see what's coming next. "Don't - ugh gross."
He laughs, shutting his mouth and swallowing the mouthful he'd just put on display for her. She throws the sugar spoon, which he of course catches in a blur of super speed before it can thunk into his shoulder.
"I'm hungry," he points out, tossing the spoon gently back to her. "If you were hungry, you'd eat thirteen pancakes too."
Amelia's reflexes have a different definition of the word 'gentle'; she dodges the spoon without thought. They both wince as it clatters to the floor.
She clears her throat. “Why are you so big." There's a pause. His mouth twitches, and she throws her hands in the air. "That was not a dick joke!"
"I didn't say it was!"
"You didn't have to! Oh my god." She drops her face into her hands, shaking her head. "You are the worst. I hate you."
His chuckle is the truly gentle thing about him, washing over her in a warm wave of sound. "I ate my vegetables," he offers. "How's that? Unlike somebody."
This time she throws her fork.
