serious/grumpy akutagawa x sunshine reader
half full, or half empty?
the glass of water you just brought for ryuunosuke akutagawa... he swears by whatever god is out there that it's half empty.
and that's not the issue; see, he's grateful that you got up from your comfy spot, skipped over the cold tiles and into the kitchen to grab him a glass of water. he's very grateful that you did something he very well could've done on his own, for him.
the issue, albeit small, was that the glass was half empty.
if you're going to do something, you should do it right, right??
he claims that its half empty. hell, it might as well be fully empty!
you argue that it's half full. and at least it is full, although only halfway.
as you quarrel back and forth, he grows more and more irritated, and the water seems to not be increasing or decreasing at any rate.
you begrudgingly return to the kitchen with his half filled cup to top it up, mumbling to yourself about how he's too fussy. when you hand it back to him in the living room, you flop down across from him, feigning annoyance.
he drinks his full glass of water until it is around halfway, putting it down beside him.
"why were you so adamant that it was half empty if you only planned to drink half?" you raise your eyebrow slightly.
"because I was about to give you the other half," he calmly responds, holding out the glass to you.
you shake your head, smiling softly to yourself.
"it's okay, i already drank some before. half of your glass, to be specific."
that joke didn't land too well with him.
