A/N: Stupid early season fluff anyone? I love writing this stuff, and I'm sure there's some kind of reason why, but I really don't know it. Either way, sometimes it can get hard figuring out something that isn't just a rehash so if you get some cool ideas of your own send them in to my tumblr or wherever you're comfortable and I'll get around to it.

Have fuuuuuuun.

Lunch break's a not so uncommon "date" for them at least if the word date applies to them at all. It was such a weird, sort of unsure whatever it was they had. April doesn't mind it, especially because she's not even sure Andy understands that's what it is and leaving him clueless with a small kiss afterwards is weirdly hilarious to her. It's just another healthy part of her day when she watches his face go sort of blank and his face break out into a combined grin and confusion. Also, she gets to make fun of that Kyle guy and that is literally always funny, to everyone, so that was a bonus.

"Yo, lunch" she called out to him while putting two bags on the little counter.

As if on cue, the guy that was sitting down stood up and sighed sadly. He looked at the half-finished job on his shoes but continued walking anyways. By now people understood to just get out of the way around that time.

"Nice, what'd you get?" he asked, eyes lighting up when she passed him one of the small bags.

"Cafeteria burgers," she explained.

"These things are so gross," he said but was hurriedly unwrapping the burger. "I love 'em."

At first they agreed to trade off days, first Andy would buy lunch and then April and so on, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that April was just buying it every time they did this. She was just happy that buying food for two in Pawnee wasn't exactly an expensive endeavor and she just liked hanging around with him. With him the potential for stupid rose exponentially which was, to April, totally worth every cent. Normally it would be incredibly boring just sitting there with someone else, eating and talking, but this was weirdly okay with her, and Andy wasn't ever going to pass on free food. The only thing getting in the way of the silent fun was sitting there watching and listening to him eat.

"Dude," she exclaimed after one particularly noisy few seconds of chewing.

"What?" he looked side to side, unsure what the problem was.

"You eat like a cow," she scrunched her nose up when he continued to make those horrible noises.

There was a point where funny met gross, and Andy straddled that line all the time when he ate, but then he'd find that line and cross it with a running start. She could deal with seeing his food when he ate with his mouth open, and that was funny because he'd show it off to people walking by, but listening to him was a different story.

"Well, you're a… cow," he retorted, bobbing his head. "Like, a short cow."

April shook her head silently and went back to eating her food, but Andy sat and stared at his sandwich like it was going to fight back. She couldn't take her eyes off his odd behavior, watching him study the burger closely, and she was starting to get concerned for how hard he was thinking about this.

"How am I supposed to eat?" he pulled his head back away from the burger and put it gently up to his lips, putting them over the bread and slowly gnashing his teeth. "Like this?"

It was so muffled by the food still in his mouth that April could barely make out what he was saying. She had to stifle a laugh while chewing, covering her mouth so nothing came shooting out inadvertently, so she just shook her head for an answer. After a little more chewing she made an obvious demonstration by holding her food up to her mouth clearly enough for him to see.

"No, just… don't make a billion weird noises when you eat," she told him, putting her own burger to her mouth and chewing, breathing through her nose loudly to make a point. "See?"

"Oh," he said slowly, taking the sandwich back and chewing on it while making loud, abrasive snorts like an angry bull being rallied back to a pen.

It was only a few seconds of his labored breaths before his face looked like it was losing its color and he had to stop eating. April had already finished in that time, watching his bizarre attempt at figuring out something as simple as breathing through the nose, and wondering what she'd done to pick out this one. Still, with each snort it became funnier and funnier and that thought started to slip away.

"This is really hard," he huffed, looking at the last few bits of the burger like they were his Everest. "Manners are hard."

"That's what I always hear," she laughed, watching him take a deep breath and stare down the final bite.

It was getting weird watching him look at the greasy patty like it was some sort of challenge. Instinct took over and April took his hand and pushed the food into his mouth, not really concerned that her fingers were technically in his mouth and he was looking at her like she'd just shot him. She patted the sides of his mouth, happy with the results as he chewed slowly and breathed normally through his nostrils.

Then, suddenly, she realized what had just happened. It was sort of gross, in a way, but it had just seemed like the obvious move to her in the moment. Either way, Andy was looking at her like something was supposed to happen and she was starting to get uncomfortable.

"Well," she stood up, brushing her hands off on her pants and throwing her bag over her shoulder. "I gotta… y'know, work. Gotta go do that."

"Sure," Andy nodded slowly, but he didn't take his eyes off hers for what was beginning to feel like an eternity.

"Whatever, later," she said quickly, pushing herself forward with the intent to pull the same stunt as usual.

It was supposed to be a brief, little peck that was meant to be nothing more than a confusion tactic in their bizarre not-really-relationship. Supposed to be was the key phrase because April couldn't help herself when Andy's hand pushed aside hair so he could rest it on the back of her neck, and she leaned in for a deeper kiss. It was awkward for her having to stand in front of the high-rise chair so she stepped up onto the little platform where people rested their feet and soon Andy was standing up to meet her.

It felt strange and sudden, but April also kind of liked it. Except for the taste of processed beef and bad dental hygiene mixing together – that was admittedly kind of gross – but still she couldn't figure out a reason to stop. Even so, she had to break because she was worried where her hands would end up and where this would all eventually escalate to.

"I'll, uh, catch you later," he finally answered after a few heavier breaths than before.

"Yeah, sure," she caught herself smiling but didn't really see a reason to stop doing it.

When he returned hers with a big grin and his weird, only Andy way of looking at her like she was the only person in the room she had to look away, walking away before anything more drastic happened. She didn't really stop smiling for the rest of the day, except for that time that Jerry asked for a bunch of scans of something and April couldn't help but give him a sour grimace. It didn't stop her from resuming the stupid smirk from before though.
