Disclaimers on everything that I don't own
Cookies and Milk,
By Winterwing3000
Anzu quietly nibbled on her homemade cookies, soft chocolate chip with a dash of powdered sugar, as her three friends sat around her table, talking of some random duels as their half an hour snack time came around.
Looking around, she noticed that Kaiba was the only person who was doing nothing but read. Popping the rest of the cookie into her mouth, she took a sip of her milk. The melted chocolate and crumbs slowly turned soggy in her mouth, making a soft lump of chocolate, milk and dough. Swallowing it, she took out another cookie and repeated her earlier actions. Sometimes, the cookies and the milk went very well.
One bite and one sip. At times, it would be too sweet, but the plain milk softens the mild chocolate and sugary taste. And when the milk becomes too plain, the cookies will come and help. They both compliment each other.
And somehow… looking up from her lap with the plastic bag of cookies, she spotted Kaiba looking strangely at her. Anzu smiled brightly at him and slid off her table, cookies in hand. Yuugi, Jou and Honda turned their heads to look at her, perplexed and taken aback even when she stood right next to their 'sworn rival slash enemy's' desk.
Anzu cocked her head to the side as Kaiba continued to scrutinize her. Her eyebrows disappeared under her bangs for a moment, but her facial expression returned to a genuine smile. "Kaiba, want a cookie?" she offered him the transparent bag, and then munched happily on her other one.
The whole class seemed to have gone silent, as they looked their way. Some girls were staring intensely at Anzu; either suspicious or envious of her bold actions.
At this, Kaiba merely regarded her with a stare, which said more than a thousand words and slowly took a chocolate-chip cookie, giving her a small grunt as he dropped his head back to his book, barely biting the small confection in his hand. Giving him an invisible smile from the heart, she said promptly, "You're welcome!"
Returning to her desk with a small bounce in her step, Anzu only sat down and drank from her milk, hiding the small grin creeping up her face.
AN: Happy Early Thanksgiving my dear friends! Have a blast with the TURKEY BIRDY!
