Gail was making their evening tea, something she never saw herself ever doing, but Holly had gotten her into the routine over the past two years. She only started making it herself when Holly had left for San Fransisco, at first she didn't actually drink it, she only made it because it reminded her of the brunette and it made her feel connected to her. After about a month she actually started drinking it and found it very comforting.
It'd shocked Holly the first time she watched Gail start the kettle -something the blonde hadn't owned before she left- without her stating that it was time for tea, and she'd watched in amusement as the cop mindlessly made them both a cup while talking about her day.
Holly smiled at the memory as she wrapped her arms around Gail's torso, she nuzzled into her girlfriends neck and sighed in contentment.
The loud music of Twentieth Century Fox sang from the living room, signalling the close beginning of the movie they planned to watch, and bringing Holly back to focusing on why she was in the kitchen in the first place.
Holly pulled away slightly, lovingly tucked a piece of hair behind Gail's ear and almost touched her lips to said ear as she whispered. "Eat all of the forest animal crackers again and we're fucking done."
Gail stopped mid stir for a beat. "I was testing out my Halloween costume and lost count."
"What?" She wanted to keep up the sweet-menacing facade, she'd been excited for their movie night so she could eat half the bag of crackers, but this she had to hear more about. What on earth did eating animal crackers have to do with Halloween costumes?
"I'm going to be Jonah's Ark, can't do that without the animals, Hol." Gail stated as if it was completely normal.
Holly let out a loud laugh, her head tossed back in the process. She could see the delighted smile on Gail's face when she settled down. She shook her head and let go of her girlfriend, Gail was done anyway and the movie was in the opening credits.
"I'm serious though, officer, one more time and you're out." Holly tossed over her shoulder as she went to settle on the couch.
