based on this week's episode. even if she was in it for literally 30 seconds.

♡ the internet judges a good partner based on an orange. yes. an orange. supposedly, if you were to ask your partner for an orange, they would give it to you. and if you asked them to peel it, they would peel it for you. sounds reasonable.

♡ you got roped into this mass test by your friends. and since you and ash were going steady now, it was the perfect time to test your girlfriend and see if she really was a good partner.

♡ your standards were not necessarily that high. you just wanted a partner that listened to you, that comforted you, that respected your boundaries. and—most importantly—someone that picked you.

♡ after a lifetime of not being picked, it was only fair for you to find someone that picked you and chose to be with you.

♡ ash came a few minutes late. "hey! sorry! i just got your message!" she looks a little tired, dressed down from what she usually wore. "is everything alright? you said it was an emergency!"

♡ "i mean...not exactly?" you say, letting her into the dorm. you sit back down on the seat, waiting for ash to come closer. "i think i'm...craving an orange."

♡ "an orange?" ash notices the bowl of oranges and she picks one up, gently squeezing it. she puts it closer to her nose, takes a whiff, and then looks around the whole thing. "i mean the doctors did say you were low on vitamin c."

♡ "okay...maybe i am." you can't even believe she remembered that one off detail. you answered her question when you got your blood taken recently. "but...i can't peel it. can you peel it for me?"

♡ "do you guys have a knife?" ash raises her eyebrows, looking at you and your friends. she didn't even ask you why you wanted her to peel it for you.

♡ kimberly eventually gives ash the knife, to which ash offhandedly remarks that she needs to sharpen it. but it's sharp enough to cut through the rind. and you and your friends watch in utter fascination as ash peels the orange with precision. and she's looking at you while peeling it. as if she's done this millions of times.

♡ "how did you get so good?" you ask.

♡ "well i used to peel fruit with my grandparents a lot." ash says as she sets the rind on a paper towel on the coffee table. she begins to peel off any hanging white strings, trying to clean it up. "and, um, i spent some time with my in-laws. my cousin married a thai woman so i stayed over at their house for a summer and helped out her parents with fruit peeling and whatnot. i can peel ginger with a spoon."

♡ you can hear whitney whispering about how impressive this was. and honestly, how ash was clearly better than cooper.

♡ ash sets the knife down and splits the orange, setting one half on the paper towel. she peels a section, holding it out for you. "here. so you can raise your vitamin c levels." she smiles.

♡ yet when you reach out to grab it, she quickly moves her hand back. and there's a twinkle of mischief in ash's eyes. it pairs well with the smirk on her face.

♡ so you move closer to her. "you sneaky little shit." you grab the piece and bite into the juicy section. ash absolutely loves the look of satisfaction on your face and the smile. when you finish eating the segment, you have to lean in and kiss her.
