“Oh bloody hell…fuckin’ yanks…that’s just against the laws of nature.”
Kyle had caught you microwaving water for tea. Which, say what you will, but you didn’t have a kettle growing up so that was normal for you. That’s not what disturbed you, though. Rather…what he just called you.
You turn around slowly, brows furrowed, “…what did you just call me?”
He must think you’re mad because he goes to defend himself, hands raising in surrender, until you let out a laugh.
“Yank? Like…yankee doodle dandy?” You set down the mug, looking at him incredulously while throwing your head back to laugh. “Do you guys really call us that?”
“…yes?” He’s confused at your surprise and joy at a term he would barely bat an eye at, but you pay him no heed.
You just go back to (poorly) making your tea, humming Yankee Doodle Dandy to yourself as you go.
