"lemon eyes" striker x reader

~Part 6~

You woke up early, getting dressed and rushing to the kitchen out of pure excitement. In your rush you ignored safety and jumped down the stairs, landing softly due to your paws. What you didn't notice was striker, just trying to drink a cup of coffee.

"..at least your not late?"

He asked with a small laugh. You instantly became embarrassed, looking anywhere but at him. I mean.. you did just hurl yourself down the stairs for the hell of it.

"Oh uh, yep. Absolutely. I uhm.. tripped."

You retorted walking to the kitchen. The sink.. you remembered his odd behavior and affection, deciding to leave it alone for now.

Tiredly pouring your coffee you gasped, remembering the spilled coffee and mostly full mug still on your counter.

"Damnit.."

You spat out making striker look over.

"Burn yourself?"

He asked looking over to you. You sat down next to him and sipped some of your coffee

"No.. it's complicated. boss called me in the middle of having a cup of coffee, which promptly spilled. That's definitely going to stain.."

"Sorry doll, I just can't help it. You've been pouting during the whole story"

You blushed, face returning to normal.

"Ups-"

"Don't sweat it, somehow annoyance looks good on you"

It took you a minute.. but when you got it your ears puffed up.

"Oh.. OH-"

It struck you that he was flirting and as you covered your face striker grinned his normal smile.

"Heh, as much as I love your reaction its time to go. Cmon, it's nice and cool"

And with that the both of you walked outside to get his horse and wonder the country
