Leela took a sip of the rich, thick coffee that was warmed her
while the snow delicately fell outside. She watched a few flakes fall and
then turned her attention back to Fry, who was sitting there with her. He
stared at the opposite end of the café, where he watched people select
their sandwiches and assorted coffees.
"So...do you like the snow?" she asked, looking at her reflection through her coffee, mostly setting her gaze on her eye.
"Yeah, it was my favorite thing to watch on days like these. My brother would always sleep, and I actually got some peace now and then," he chuckled and tried to break the uncomfortable silence between them.
"I used to watch it all the time at the orphanarium. It made me feel happy and cozy."
"What are you gonna do for Christmas?"
"Oh, I don't know...be lying in a grave by then..."
"Don't,"
"Hmm?"
"Don't talk like that."
"Oh, sorry.."
"S'okay. I just don't want you to feel like that..."
"Oh! I just remembered, I got you something for Christmas."
"What is it? Tellmetellmetellmetellme!!!"
"I can't. It won't be a Christmas present then."
"Aww, c'mon Leela, I got you something and we can both tell each other what we got."
"No, Fry. You're just gonna have to wait."
"Fine then, see if I tell you that I got you a- whoops! That almost got out.."
"A what?"
"Like I said, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you."
"Okay, then," she laughed and took another sip of her coffee.
Fry took a look at his watch and looked out the window. Leela looked around the coffee shop, trying to find something distracting. Soon, their eyes met and they stayed there. Leela's mind begged herself to look away, but her heart beamed and made her eye glued to Fry's.
Fry's heart leapt with joy and thought about all the possibilities that could come out of this..a date, a possible, 'I love you,', or just even an 'it's nice to be with you.' Leela's mind took over after quite a bit of a struggle and looked away quickly.
"Well, I have to go Christmas shopping..d'you wanna come?" he asked.
"I can't."
"Yes you can, I've already got yours."
"Oh..yeah..right. Sure, we'll go Christmas shopping," she said and smiled as she mentally beat herself up.
