Cedric The Sensational X Reader

Sweat and Beans.

"Do you think all beans are vegetables?" 

"... I genuinely wonder what lives in that head of yours." 

Laughing, you rock back on your heels and wipe the sweat off of your forehead. You and Cedric had planted your own little garden earlier in the season, and today was the first day you feast from your spoils. Unfortunately, obtaining said spoils required some hard labor. So that's how the two of you ended up side by side on your day off, picking enough beans to feed the royal army. You were squatted down in the patch, rustling through the tall plants to try and find the ever so elusive beans, and it was starting to get reaaallllyyyy boring. Hence the question. "I mean obviously green beans are vegetables. But what about coffee beans?" 

Cedric just rolled his eyes at you. He had ditched his typical robe due to the overtly warm afternoon, and instead was just in his white undershirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his white bangs were tinged brown with soil. Hard work looked good on him. Standing up, you hoist another bucket full of beans onto your hip, and start carefully wading your way out of the plot. 

"I've finally finished my rows love," you say cheerily, "how about yours? almost done?" 

"Almost dear," Cedric responded, "Also, coffee beans are actually classified as seeds, not beans." 

"Really?" you set down the heavy bucket down next to the gardening supplies, and turn back around to your lover. "Well, what abou-"

"Cocoa beans are also considered seeds." Cedric turned to you, and grinned smugly. "So really the answer to your question depends if you are asking if all things that are called beans are vegetables, or if all things that are classified as beans are vegetables." With that he stood up, carrying his own bucket of beans, and walked over to where you were resting. "Any other questions?" 

"Well aren't you just the smartest man in the whole kingdom," you said affectionately, reaching up to give Cedric a (slightly condescending but mostly sweet) head pat. You were surprised when you notice him duck away from your hand. "What's wrong? I just wanted to stroke your head a bit?" 

"My hairs all sweaty, I can't believe you aren't dieing out here." The sorcerer grumbled softly, batting your hand away lightly. 

"I don't care? Your head is mine." Pouting, you reach back up, only for him to duck away again. "Cedric....." 

"It's all gross and moist." He grumbled back, catching your wrist with his hand. "I don't want to gross you out." Cedric looks at you with pleading eyes. "Just leave it alone? You can touch it after I clean up a bit." 

Sighing, you relent, lazing back down as Cedric removes his grip from around your wrist. Unfortunately for Cedric, it was all a ruse... he should have known you never give up that quickly. As the sorcerer turned his back you shift your weight a bit, slowly rising to your feet and.. you pounce. "Accept your fate!" You cry cheerfully, tackling the poor sorcerer from behind. Cedric yelps loudly as you bring the both of you crashing to the soft grass and dirt, as you crawl on top of him, trying to reach his head. 

"Merlins Mush- ACk! No! Get Off!" Cedric splutters and twists underneath you, hand flying to his head to protect his head, blocking your hands. Laughing, you manage to fight him off, the two of you wrestling for a minute before you slip through his defenses'.  Triumphantly, you ruffle his hair in both your hands, gleefully combing through it with your hands. It really was sweaty, and it was kinda gross, but it was the principal of the thing. Cedric groans, but chuckles softly at your persistence, giving into his fate as you mess up his hair. With your work done, you slide off the now bright red man, and place a small peck on his cheek. 

"I told you I didn't care you were sweaty." 

Cedric just chuckles nervously, and kisses your cheek in return. "Fine. Brat. Lesson acknowledged. You still like me when I'm gross." He nuzzles his head against yours shyly, still not used to being showed so much affection. "Please pick a method that's easier on my back next time?" 

"No Promises."
