"What do you think you are doing Jane?" Maura walked in on Jane, her voice melodramatically endearing.
Jane almost lost her grip on the fifth packet of French fries that she was quickly taking out from Maura's fridge. She was barely able to hold it all together in her arms, the packed food threatening to fall to the floor any moment. "Throwing a party for gravely famished people…" Jane's eyebrows rose in innocence on its own accord as she tried to smile in order to throw off being caught by Maura and instead finished up that sentence with a full blown smirk on her lips, "…just me?"
Maura almost giggled before she schooled her features. "I do have bread and English muffins you know. Why don't you eat that?" She moved about the kitchen to finally sit on the stool just beside to the one where Jane was about to sit.
"Now where is the fun in that?!" Jane winked at Maura as she finally managed to place all the food, almost about to tumble off her hands on the kitchen platform right in front of her. She then picked it up all in one go, placed it in the oven, heated it up and then brought it all back to the platform, sitting right beside Maura, her food still inside packets. Her eyes almost shone in child like excitement as they switched from food to Maura's and then back to the food. "Captain Jack Sparrow likes it dangerous." Jane chuckled into her own imitation of the fictional pirate.
Maura's eyes grew fonder as she finally got to see Jane's face in pure excitement. Somehow Jane's adamancy on not eating healthy food was way too endearing to be restrained instantly. Nonetheless, Maura knew she had to find a way. "Muffins are delicious too, Jane." She chirped as Jane genuinely focused on everything she had in front of her.
"They pretty much taste like cardboard in front of these yummy, crispy fries!" Jane picked a chunk of French fries from the plastic bag directly and just before putting those in her mouth, moaned, "Umm… come to me you little angels!"
Maura couldn't resist laughing out right." O my god Jane, they are definitely not angels. They will bring up your cholesterol to dangerous levels that is what they will do."
When Jane didn't seem to come out of her bliss, Maura just rose a little from her seat to pick up a plate and placed the French fries off the bag and onto a plate for Jane. "Well, at least eat them properly." Maura smiled into her words as she nudged the plate back towards Jane.
Jane's eyes melted at that gesture. She picked up one French fry from her plate and offered it to Maura as a peace offering. When Maura made a face, Jane just smirked back and nudged Maura's elbow in playful mirth as she gleamed into the words, "You know you want to Maur…" As Maura's expression changed from denial to resistance, Jane knew she had her friend in her trap. She whispered as she saw Maura almost smiling now, "Don't worry Maur, I won't tell anyone."
As soon as Maura took it, Jane burst into playful laughter. Maura's arms quickly caught Jane's lest she lost her balance, but joined in too.
Moments into the laughter, Jane just adoringly voiced out, "Oh Muar, what am I gonna do without you?"
Maura just kept a smile that echoed the promise of her words. "You will never have to."

Author Notes: So Yeah, for those who read this first, I apparently made Jane eat cold fries in her "gravely famished" state. Lets just say I had a good laugh after I realized my mistake. Thank you wolvesjr34 for pointing that out so vividly :D
