AN: I'm in a writing mood and was making a smoothie. Just a short pure dialogue fic because there are so many different ways their physical interaction could go that I didn't want to write just one.
"Gail, I'm home!"
"Hey, you're home early."
"Yeah. Slow day, thank goodness. How was your day off?"
"Oh loads of fun. Just living the dream, you know?"
"Of course."
Vroom.
"Gail?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Making a smoothie."
"Yeah, but why?"
"I was craving a smoothie."
"But you don't like healthy food."
"Sometimes I do. And fruit is the best kind of healthy food… it's usually sweet so it's like natural candy. Sort of."
"Are you secretly putting cheese puffs in there?"
"What? Gross, no! It would ruin cheese puffs for me forever."
"So you woke up today and decided, 'Today, I'm going to make a smoothie.'"
"Yeah…"
"What kind of shenanigans are you playing, Gail?"
"No shenanigans!"
"Gail..."
"Holly..."
"I didn't have half these fruits here this morning, so you clearly went out and bought them. Why are you making a smoothie?"
"Fine…fine, okay. You hid the chips again so I decided to go out and get some. At the grocery store I ran into Oliver's girlfriend, Lettuce-"
"Celery."
"Both green vegetables that I rarely care for. Same thing. Whatever. Anyway, she was buying a bunch of weird things so I asked her what she was making. It intrigued me so I decided to try it out myself."
"A smoothie? You decided to try out making a smoothie because of Celery?"
"No."
"Then what?"
"It's an aphrodisiac."
"An aphrodisiac?"
"I'd think for a nerd you'd know what an aphrodisiac is."
"No, I do, that's not what I was getting at. Why are you making one?"
Giggle
"What are you laughing at Gail?"
"You actually thought I was making an aphrodisiac? Gosh, Holly, you actually think I believe in that stuff? I'm just thirsty."
"But when you're thirsty you just find alcohol to drink."
Groan.
"Gail, are you putting alcohol in your smoothie?"
"…"
"Gail…"
"Yes?"
"A simple smoothie will never be enough for you, will it?"
"Holly, if you're going to force me to eat healthier now that I live here, I'm going to put alcohol in as many things as possible to make them edible."
"The aphrodisiac excuse was better."
"Please, the entity that is Gail Peck is already an aphrodisiac."
"Does that mean I can have some of your smoothie?"
"Only if you stop hiding the junk food."
