Prompt: Today, a twenty-something man came into the coffee shop where I work, and ordered a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. He waited at the bar, and then, as I was happily getting him his drink, he called me back. Slightly perplexed I went over to him. He glanced from side to side, leaned over the counter and whispered in my ear, "I need to ask you something...... Please can I have pink marshmallows?" MLIA.
Characters: Gin, Vodka

"Wait, stop here for a minute," Gin said to Vodka as he drove passed a coffee shop. "I'm going to get a drink, do you want something?" Vodka shook his head, and Gin headed inside to place his order.
"Hi, what can I get for you?" The girl working at the counter asked Gin.
Gin was about to order his usual; a long black, when he remembered a conversation he had with his mother a few days ago about drinking too much coffee. "A hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows," he said to the girl.
"No problem, just wait over there and your drink will be ready in a few minutes." The girl said to Gin as he gave her the amount owing for the drink.
Gin shuffled towards the bar, debating whether or not he should tell the girl about… nah, if Vodka found out, he'd probably tell everyone else. Vermouth was already giving him weird looks everytime she saw him, and Gin was slightly worried that it had something to do with that last time he had 'accidentally' been on Farmville.
After much debate with himself, Gin finally waved the girl who was preparing his drink over to the bar. She looked slightly perplexed, but went over to him nonetheless. Gin took a deep breath, and looked both left and right to make sure Vodka wasn't around. Leaning in, he said in an undertone, "I need to ask you something...... Please can I have pink marshmallows?"
The girl looked a little surprised at first, but with a small smile on her face, nodded and went back to making his drink. "Here you go sir," she said as she handed his drink. Gin nodded to the girl, and turning to leave, found himself face to face with Vodka.
"Finally! I was wondering what took you so long, so I decided to come have a look," Vodka said as Gin tried very discreetly to hide his drink. If Vodka found out about the pink marshmallows…
"You know, I'm actually kinda thirsty now," Vodka said as they were preparing to leave. "Gimme a sec okay, aniki? I'll have what he had," he added to the girl who was working there. The girl stifled a laugh, but nodded and went about to prepare his drink.
"Sorry for the wait," Vodka said as he got in the car with his drink. Taking a sip, he said, "Mmm! Hot chocolate! And it tastes like there's marshmallows in there too!" Vodka said delightedly. "You know, I like to eat all the marshmallows before they melt too much," Vodka said conversationally as he started up the car. Opening the lid of the cup, Vodka found himself face to face with several marshmallows. Pink marshmallows? Making sure that he wasn't hallucinating, he lifted his sunglasses and found that they were in fact pink marshmallows.
Vodka turned to stare at Gin, who gave him the most murderous look he had ever seen. "Don't. Say. A. Word." He muttered to Vodka, who looked like he was trying very hard not to laugh. "Now!" he barked as Vodka gave a small snort and began to drive.
Gin sighed inwardly. Why did these things always happen to him?
A/N: I think the whole point of this MLIA series is to make the BO seem as harmless as possible, and to prank Hakuba whenever he pops up in a story. Hope you all enjoyed this!
