"Hurry up, you aren't supposed to stop!"

"Excuse me, I'm THINKING."

TJ rolled his eyes across the table, he shouldn't have agreed to play Egyptian War with Cyrus. While TJ himself was more competitive when it came to sports, his boyfriend gets extremely fired up about card games.

"Cyrusss," he whined, "this is supposed to be an immediate game, it shouldn't require thought."

"Ok, fine," Cyrus huffed, and slapped down a card on top of TJ's.

TJ's hand immediately reached out and slapped the pile as he saw the sandwich that had just been formed.

"But- but," spluttered Cyrus in indignation, "that was my last card!"

"Guess you lose then." TJ smiled smugly, knowing full well what was about to happen.

"But that's not fair! This is injustice. I declare a rematch."

"Cyrus, we've played two rematches already, I'm all Egyptian War-ed out!"

"Scared you'll lose, Kippen?" there was a challenge in Cyrus's voice that TJ could never resist.

"Ok, fine," TJ gave in, "but this is the last one. And let's make it interesting: loser buys the winner baby taters at The Spoon."

"You're on," Cyrus said, "and my taters will taste extra good as they'll be seasoned with my victory."

TJ rolled his eyes. "You're so dramatic."

"Yep. Deal the cards!"


"When would you like to buy my taters?" TJ asked innocently as he looked over at Cyrus who had his mouth slightly open in a pout as he was getting ready to protest his loss.

"Oh come on," Cyrus said, "you had to have cheated! I always win card games!"

"Not this time, babe," TJ grinned at his boyfriend who looked like someone had just informed him that Christmas was cancelled.

"Teej, how about another rematch? Pleaseeee." Cyrus looked up at TJ with his puppy eyes, but TJ knew he couldn't give in.

"Nope!" he said brightly, "but I'm willing to have a rematch with basketball!"

Cyrus groaned and collapsed on the ground dramatically.

TJ shook his head and laughed as he grabbed Cyrus's arms and attempted to pull him up. Instead of letting himself be pulled up, Cyrus grabbed TJ's arm and pulled him onto the ground.

"Oh, oops," Cyrus said innocently, "guess you're trapped now."

"Uh huh, sure," TJ laughed, "like you could trap me. Good attempt, though! I appreciate it."

Cyrus scowled at this response, perfectly aware that he wouldn't be able to get out of this.

"How about instead of me buying you food, I give you a kiss instead?" Cyrus asked sweetly.

"Oh please," TJ said, "you'd kiss me either way."

"True," Cyrus said, "but I'll stop myself if I have to. It's a matter of principal. Wouldn't you prefer me kissing you over food?"

"Mm not really," TJ answered promptly. "Sorry, Cy, but taters are too good to pass up, and I earned them fair and square."

Cyrus huffed at that response and looked away.

TJ laughed and then hopped to his feet, tugging Cyrus up with him.

"Ok stop being so grumpy," he said. "Of course I'd miss your kisses." As though to prove his point, he leaned over and planted a kiss on Cyrus's lips. "So how about a compromise?"

"I'm listening."

"You buy me baby taters and I buy you a milkshake?"

"Chocolate?"

"Of course."

"Deal."

"There," TJ was very pleased with himself, "see? Was that really so hard?"

"Ok ok," Cyrus finally laughed, "I'll give you credit for that. But I still think you cheated."

TJ rolled his eyes and kissed him again to shut him up. He loved his boyfriend, but he could tend to hold a grudge for a while when it came to card games.

"Ok, never mind," Cyrus's face was a bit pinker than usual. "Can we go get food now, though? I'm hungry. I require food, especially after losing so many times."

"Eating your feelings?" TJ asked. "I do that."

Cyrus rolled his eyes and smiled. "You're such a dork."

"At your service," TJ was taking this in his stride.

"Ok, come on," Cyrus quickly returned TJ's kiss before pulling him out the door. "Let's go settle this over milkshakes!"

"And baby taters," TJ added.

"Do I really have to pay for them?" Cyrus asked, shaking his head.

"Yep," TJ nodded, "it's what a good boyfriend would do!"

"Fine," grumbled Cyrus, "you're lucky I love you."

TJ smiled. "I know."
