"Do you really have to put so much pepper on your eggs?" After giving her lover a quick kiss on the top of her head and chiding her, Maria Ross smiled, shook her head and put her own plate down. She settled down at the breakfast table and started into her meal.
"It isn't going to hurt you. I have read in some places that it can actually be good for you. You should try some." Hawkeye, her hair still disheveled from the night before, let out a low sigh and took the pepper grinder from the table, ground a little into her eggs, then put it back down. She looked at her now speckled eggs for a moment before taking a bite and chewing.
"So... How is it?"
There was a pause for a moment, then a smile slowly spread across the blonde's face. "It is good, dear. I'm not usually a fan of sauces and condiments, but I'm glad you suggested it. I'll definitely remember it from now on."
The smug smile was not hard to miss on Ross' cherubic face, the grin covering what seemed like an inordinate amount of her face.
"I'm not going to live this down, am I?"
Ross didn't have to give an answer. She already knew the response.
Hawkeye rubbed the last bit of sleep from her eyes and sighed one more time. "It's going to be a long day."
