Smol and Tol

Gender Neutral OC

I stood on my toes and stretched out completely in an attempt to reach the serving bowl, it was frustrating because I needed to get this out of the way before I could start dinner, my fingers barely brushed the shelf and were no where near grabbing range of the desired object. I silently cursed whoever had made the brilliant decision to put so high up, I also cursed myself for being so short, had I been closer to average height I might be able to reach it, as it wasn't even on the top shelf. I turned to go find a stool and ran into someone, I stumbled back and looked up at the strawberry-blond that called himself my boyfriend, and gingerly checked to see if my nose was all right.

"Hi, I didn't hear you come up." I said. "Did you need something from the cabinet?"

"Actually I saw you were having trouble and I thought I'd offer my assistance." He said, mouth curling into a soft smile.

"Well, I mean, I suppose it would be nice." I said, crossing my arms and looking away.

He leaned over and placed a light kiss on my cheek, before straightening up and reaching over my head to take the glass serving bowl from the shelf. I leaned back slightly, but was still effectively sandwiched between him and the counter. He stepped back and held out the bowl, I gave him playful look of exasperation.

"You know I could have moved first." I said taking it from him

"I wouldn't want to have inconvenienced you, what kind of gentleman would that make me?" He said.

I rolled my eyes and rinsed out the bowl and set it on the counter before going over to the berries I had already pulled from the fridge.

"What are you doing?" Ren asked.

"I making a fruit salad." I said, taking out a strainer from a cupboard under the counter.

"It seems to be lacking in melon, and grapes, exotic fruit, in fact it seems to be mostly berries." He said.

"Okay, so it's completely made of berries, but that doesn't mean it's any less of a fruit salad." I said.

"Perhaps berry salad would be a more fitting title." He said.

Ren picked up one of the blackberries and held it up to my mouth, I took it and he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine, he pulled back.

"The blackberries seem nicely ripened, I wonder about the others?" He said.

"Ren, I need to finish, the company will be here soon."

"Alright, but we'll have to continue later. What do you say?"

"Fine," I rolled my eyes in exasperation. "But only after we're done cleaning up."

"I guess I'll get started on setting the table then."

He placed a light kiss on the top of my head before disappearing for the other room.
