She's not in the mood for anything sweet.

At least, that's what she tells Jamie when he offers to buy her a milkshake {courtesy of her wallet being devoid of any substantial change.}

And she whole-heartedly makes herself believe that. That is, until his food is delivered; a large order of fries and a strawberry shake, topped off with whipped topping and a bright red cherry.

It takes her about 2.2 minutes to decide that the shake is partially hers anyways {by default of having paid for his food multiple times} and that being his best friend comes with certain responsibilities.

Responsibilities such as ensuring that her friend was getting his money's worth of high quality ice cream.

So, when Jamie turns away to dig something out of his bag, she ever so "stealthily" commandeers his milkshake, taking a hearty sip just as he returns his attention to her.

His eyebrows shoot up, disappearing beneath neatly trimmed bangs, a groan finding its way past his lips. "Cupcake!"

Unabashed, Cupcake stares him dead in his eye, plucks the plump maraschino cherry from atop the mountain of whipped cream, and promptly drops it (stem and all) into her mouth.

She chews for a few moments, filling the silence with a soft, upbeat hum, and finally retrieves the stem, now tied into a loose knot, which she presents to Jamie with a Cheshire grin.

Right before taking another sip of his shake.

Jamie, for his part, exhales and flicks the knotted stem off the table and onto the floor, deftly retrieving his drink from her and staring down at it as if he suspecting she spat it in.

"-I would have bought you one." The words are mumbled, surrender written into the relaxed line of his shoulders as he pulls the straw up and out, licking the residual ice cream off it before taking his a sip of his own and passing it back to her.

Her expression turns momentarily aghast- a hand flies to rest just over her heart, as if attempting to quell the searing sting of having been personally offended.

"Jamie! You know milkshakes taste like a million times better when shared between friends~"

A freshly pilfered french fry is dipped into their shake and eaten with relish, sealing her victory.
