Sweet Tooth || Itachi and Aerith
@piinkribbcns
There was no off switch on Itachi’s sweet tooth. The man was, essentially, always in the mood for something sweet. The types of treats he craved varied with the changing seasons as well as the kind of desserts offered in his current location.
For the winter time, varieties of cookies paired up with a hot chocolate were his go-to order at the cafe just down the street from the university. However, it would seem he wasn’t the only one in the mood for cookies today. Thankfully, he was fortunate enough to get the last one.
The raven paid and was handed his cookie before he stood off to the side to wait for his hot chocolate.
As he waited, staring at the window and watching the snow fall steadily, he caught the conversation between the cashier and the next customer in line-- a young woman. She’d been hoping to purchase a cookie-- the same one currently in Itachi’s hand. Though she sounded dejected at first, she ordered her drink and remained cheery and polite with the apologetic cashier.
Perhaps it was the holiday season, but Itachi, who was usually quietly stingy when it came to sweets, felt compelled to behave charitably.
The brunette came to stand by him as she waited for her drink. The raven’s name was called and he picked up his hot chocolate, but not before looking back down at his cookie one last time.
He cleared his throat and turned to her.
“Excuse me... er... Do you want this?”
