Drinks and Drabbles

Sweaty Spaghetti (jjk - crack, fluff)

The first time you say it in front of Jungkook, he looks at you with wide eyes and flicks his head toward you in a flash.

"Did you just... say sweaty spaghetti?"

You look at him, unsure of how to reply. You curse at yourself for your weird phrases. "... yes?"

Jungkook's jaw drops a little, but then it turns into a smile, before he starts laughing. You can't help but laugh along too, despite feeling a little embarrassed.

"That's amazing," he says, eyes shining and bunny grin on his face. Your heart skips a beat.

Your work is tiring you, and you want to curse at the coffee machine again for not fitting the hand in correctly, causing coffee to be splattered all over you. The machine is taking its time to meet its end, and you wonder if it breaking is the only way for it to get replaced. You almost consider breaking it on purpose. But you have angry businessmen needing their morning coffee mix.

You: jungkook please save me from this bloody coffee machine it's making me espresso stresso depresso

Jungkook: THAT'S BLOODY AMAZING HAHAHAHAHAHA

You: eXcUsE mE?????

Jungkook: sorry. do you want me to come over and buy a coffee from you so you have someone to chat to?

You: please

When he comes over to your cafe, he raves over how amazing 'espresso stresso depresso' is, a wide smile on his face and a latte in one hand. You can't help but be enamoured.

Jungkook looks concerned when he comes over to your work one day. It's a little amazing how he already knows that something's up. But then again, you don't have your usual smile on your face, and there's no teasing tone when you greet him.

"You all good?" he asks you when you join him with a coffee during your break.

You sigh. "I failed my interview this morning."

"You don't know that," he says, grabbing your hand and caressing it. It's a way that he shows you comfort and support. You like his hand soothing yours more than you like to admit.

"No, I know," you groan, rubbing your face with your free hand. "I laughed, Jungkook. I can't believe I laughed."

"That's not wrong, is it?"

"It was so wrong," you mutter. "I realised that I had messed up one of my proposal lines and just... started laughing like the fool I am."

"Ah. I'm so sorry," Jungkook says, continuing to caress your hand. Having him with you, hand enveloping yours, is already making you feel better.

"Well, I guess I don't have that job opportunity," you say with a shrug, trying to get rid of all the embarrassment you felt earlier today. "Ripperoni pepperoni."

Jungkook almost chokes, body shaking from laughter that he wasn't expecting.

"Oh my god, I'm sure now's not the time," he says, shaking his head in disbelief as he continues to laugh.

You smile. "It's always time for being an idiot."

-----

"Say it again."

You blink, staring at Jungkook with raised eyebrows.

"Say what?"

Jungkook chuckles. "Your weird way of saying that you're sweaty."

You glare at him. "Look dude, just because I say sweaty spaghetti--"

Jungkook laughs out loud, interrupting your flow. The asshole.

"You know what? I'm just not going to talk to you if you're going to interrupt me with your obnoxious laughing," you say with a huff, continuing to glare at him.

Jungkook slows down his laughing, wiping away an imaginary tear. "I'm sorry, Y/N, I just find it amazing. I think it's cool. Unique."

"And funny, right?" you say, eyes softening and lips twitching up into a smile. Despite pretending to be annoyed, you love to see how much Jungkook reacts to your weird words. You love entertaining people, letting people smile. And you won't admit it out loud, but Jungkook's smile just might be your favourite.

"Yes," Jungkook grins. "You're funny, Y/N. That's why I like you."
