“Do you know why oranges are my favorite fruit?” Kel asks, examining an orange piece.
“Because you like orange?”Sunny responds quietly.
“No.” The brunette chuckles. “Remember the day we met? When I was struggling to peel an orange after we went inside for snacks?”
Sunny nods slowly, “yes, I do. What's the relevance?”
“Well, do you remember when you got so annoyed with how much I was struggling and you snatched it away from me to peel it yourself?”
Sunny nods, “yes. I still don't see your point.”
Kel chuckles, “Sunny, my first real core memory with you was you peeling an orange for me. And after that you continued to peel them since you knew I couldn't.”
Sunny tilts his head, “that's why they're your favorite?”
Kel nods, “Yeah, They just remind me of that and make me happy.”
“You do realize I was pitying you, right?”
“Yes, I know that. But still. It just makes me happy.”
“Even though I ate half of that first ever orange I peeled for you?”
“You called it the orange tax. And yes.”
“You're weird.”
“So are you, gatito.”
Sunny rolls his eyes, leaning toward Kel to kiss his cheek. “Shut your mouth or I'm not peeling any more oranges for you.”
Kel chuckles, wrapping his arm around Sunny's waist, returning the kiss. “I love you too.”
