matcha with pedro
pairing: pedro pascal x reader
summary: you insist on pedro trying a matcha latte, but he is pretty reluctant
"oh, come on, it can't be that bad if this many people like it!" you told pedro, while making wild gestures with a to-go matcha latte in your hand.
"i'm convinced that at least half of them are just pretentious and lie about liking it."
"well, i'm not pretentious. neither is vanessa for that matter." you thought that by mentioning his co-star, vanessa kirby also liked it, you might be able to convince him to finally try it. the reason you wanted it so bad was simply the fact that you were 99% sure that he would end up liking it.
"ughhh, why is it so important?" he whined.
"'cause i know you'll like it. trust me." you countered, putting a hand on his shoulder. "plus this place is definitely one of the best ones to get matcha in new york."
"i heard it tested like grass." you were so tired of hearing that from so many people.
"not if it's high-quality. and this is." you said, pointing to your plastic cup. "look how green, look how beautiful." you took a sip. "yummy."
"jeez, you're down bad. should i be jealous?" he asked playfully, while grabbing your free hand.
"no need for that. just try. we can be obsessed together." you extended your matcha-wielding hand towards him and made puppy eyes.
"no, don't do that adorable face, it's not fair!" he groaned.
"pretty please." you pleased with your eyes. an old trick, but it worked.
"ugh, fine." he rolled his eyes and reluctantly took the drink from your extended hand. he eyed it suspiciously then took a sip. his eyes widened in surprise and took another, this time bigger sip.
"oh my god." he said looking at the drink as if it was something sacred.
"see? i told you!" you judged him with your shoulder. "yes! we can be matcha buddies!" you exclaimed.
"buddies? i'm literally your husband." he deadpanned.
"fine, then matcha....the matcha duo?"
"that's better. sounds like a superhero team though."
"you do one better then." you rolled your eyes.
"matcha couple?" he asked after a moment.
"hmm, okay." you nodded and pressed a kiss on his temple.
"okay, now let's get one for me too." he said, so you turned around and walked back towards the café.
