"This, this is a terrible thing, Pyrrha."
"Yes it is."
"I've never heard something that made me so depressed before."
"I'm sorry Jaune."
"Why Pyrrha, just why? Why have you never eaten a donut?"
She giggled for a while, beyond amused by his distress. "Donuts are not a dessert made back home."
Her blonde emitted an anguished cry and paced across the space in front of where she sat on her bed. "That is deca..deski..despi-despicable! Yeah, that's the word. And it's not even a dessert. Well not all the time anyway...it's a snack!" Suddenly he snapped around to face her, hands on his hips. "As team leader, I say this must be fixed at once!"
Two hours later...
After finally pulling a drooling and starry-eyed Jaune away from the bakery and the comic book store that happened to be next door, they settled down at a table.
"Okay okay, so this one is glazed with chocolate drizzled on top, this one has strawberry icing, this one has chocolate and vanilla icing, this one is powdered with jelly in it," his voice went up an octave. "And they all look so delicious!"
"Oh Jaune," Pyrrha giggled, "I'm beginning to believe you love donuts more than me."
He glanced between the donuts and her. "Hmm," was his only response and when she laughed, he grinned back at her before pecking the crimson haired girl on the cheek. "Both are awesome and sweet, but one is more likely to beat me up so maybe I shouldn't answer." Changing the topic before he could say something stupid, Jaune plucked one of the donuts from the plate and engulfed half in one bite. Pyrrha watched the emotions play across his face, delighted that such a simple thing could entertain him and make him so happy.
Mid-chew, he paused and looked at her. With his mouth full, he told her, "Go ahead and try one, Pyr."
She chose the one with strawberry icing as Jaune eagerly watched her take a bite. The fruity sweetness exploded on her tongue, easily beating any other sweet she'd ever tasted. "It is obviously full of sugar and contains a large sum of calories that is not recommended in a healthy diet for a Huntress in training," Jaune's face fell in growing disappointment. She tiled her heads toward him, letting her lips curve into a pleased smile. "But it is delicious."
Jaune let out a victorious shout, raising his arms above his head and attracting the curious stares of other people. Together, they finished off the donuts, something Jaune regretted only when Pyrrha trained him extra hard that night to burn off the nine donuts he had inhaled. He in turn argued that kissing burned calories too and successfully convinced her of it.
