Running a little low on both writing capabilities and spare time at the moment. So instead, for day three of Amangela Holiday Week. I'm just going to offer the skeleton of a dialogue exchange I envisioned for this prompt, and you can all fill in the blanks as you'd like! π«‘ The voices are potentially way off but hopefully the vibes are still there.
standard smosh rpf disclaimer. F for fiction. fear not ye characterization does not apply irl. etc. etc.
Prompt: "You taste like peppermint."
"... Amanda. ...I know what candy canes taste like."
"Yeah, but. Well. Well, this is just in case you wanted to try. My one. Because this one is- uh- especially good."
"...You specifically want me to try your. Half eaten. Candy cane."
"Well not if you're going to give me attitude about it-"
"I'm not giving you attitude, you're just being weird. And I love you for it, but-"
"We share food all the time, this isn't THAT weird. And you don't have to-"
"-no, I mean, I'll do it, but god, Amanda, you know, there are WAY easier ways to get me to swap spit with you-"
"... Did I say that out loud?"
"... Okay, way to turn my cute planned thing into the grossest thing I've ever heard. "Swap spit???""
"HEY- wait, don't turn this on me, what do YOU mean by planned-"
"You know what? Nevermind. Just get over here so I can kiss you."
"... you taste like peppermint."
"Well. I ate like. Four candy canes since this morning to try to get this to happen, so, I'm sorry, but it did work."
"I didn't say I didn't like it. ...But let me check again."
Context floating in my head that I couldn't execute effectively/quickly enough: this is pre amangela officially getting together. but both of them have an inkling of how they/the other person feels. Someone brought candy canes in. Angela has spent the full day being tormented because every time she looks over at Amanda, Amanda has a candy cane in her mouth/is partway eating it/is looking over at her while her mouth. Does Things/etc and she's Not Being Regular About It.
(In her defense Amanda is absolutely doing it intentionally.)
Close to the end of the day Amanda fully just offers Angela if she wants to "try her candy cane" while holding out the one she's eating. Cue this conversation.
Optionally: whatever else you think suits it!
thanks again to @zillaphoneswag for setting this up! :)
