"A tea for you," Sebastian says as he hands Rory a cup of tea. "And a coffee for me."

Rory grins up at Sebastian, patting the spot next to him on the couch. Sebastian rolls his eyes because Rory can be so impatient sometimes. But he's grinning as he sits down next to Rory and Rory cuddles up to him. It was bound to turn into a cuddlefest anyway. The earlier, the better.

"Rory, why do you drink tea?" Sebastian asks. Well, what he really means to ask is why Rory prefers tea over coffee. Because he's always wondered about that, weird as it seems.

"Why do you drink coffee?" Sebastian rolls his eyes because of course Rory is going to give him some smartass answer. He just squeezes Rory tight in response, and Rory grins up at him. "I s'pose I drink tea 'cos it's better than coffee."

"Yeah, right." Sebastian snorts, rolling his eyes. In what universe is tea better than coffee? He looks down at Rory, who is trying to look upset, but the amused sparkle in his eyes betrays him. Rory giggles and plays with Sebastian's hand.

"It is. You don't have to add tons of sugar to make it taste good. And it has a million different flavors. Not flavored creamers. Flavored tea." Rory explains. Sebastian thinks about this for a moment.

"We have different flavors of coffee," Sebastian says, finally. "Maybe not as many as tea. Or not as diverse. But there are different flavors."

"Yeah, but like... raspberry coffee? Chamomile coffee? Apple and cinnamon coffee? Besides. Where coffee is usually used as something to perk you up, tea can have a lot of different effects. Like... tea that helps relax you. Or tea that helps you sleep."

"What, do they add sleeping pills or something?" Sebastian scoffs.

"No," Rory says, rolling his eyes. "Seriously, I thought you would know a little more about tea."

"Why do you say that?" Sebastian asks.

"I dunno. You just seem like someone who would know more about tea," Rory shrugs, smiling up at Sebastian. Sebastian thinks that Rory looks adorable and can't help himself as he leans down to give him a peck on the lips.

"Well, I apparently don't know that much." Sebastian admits.

"I'll show you!" Rory says excitedly, sitting up. "I can buy all sorts of tea that you can try and it'll be like an experiment!"

"Oh god." Sebastian groans, and he regrets getting into this conversation.

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Rory says, pulling that pouty face that he knows Sebastian can't resist. Sebastian groans and pulls Rory back to him, kissing him deeply before letting him go.

"Okayyyy," Sebastian agrees. "We'll do your little experiment."

"Great!" Rory squeals.

"But I'm never going to like tea better than coffee, so you can just forget that right now." Sebastian warns him, and Rory just grins.

"Mhmm. I'll get you over to the dark side somehow," Rory jokes and Sebastian can't help but laugh.

"You are such a dork, Rory," Sebastian says, pulling him into another kiss.

"Yeah, but you love me anyway."

"Mm, you know I do."
