Work Text:
Pico was never the extrovert. He was always either hiding away within his room or playing video games. Keith and Cherry were always the ones who were going out or taking him out whenever he was finally in a mood to be outside willingly. So how was he currently walking out with his hoodie up while his two dorks talk about some movie? He had no clue. But he knew one thing. He did NOT want to be outside at all.
He didn't care if it was nice out. He was bored and wanted to play GTA on his Xbox. But of course, keith just HAD to drag him out and get him up and going. Of course. He was not shocked in the slightest. More of upset/tired. But he didn't openly voice these complaints. He knew that he'd hurt Keith's feelings if he downright called this plan of his and cherry's to be one of their dumbest solely because he was forced outside with them. But at the same time, he was grumpy. He didn't want to be outside for most of the day. That's insane. Yet here he is. Outside.
He jolted slightly as cherry suddenly grabbed his shoulder, instinctively hitting her hand away. "Don't touch me." The ginger lazily grumbled, the brunette huffing while looking at him as if he jokingly insulted her clothes. "Then you should pay attention more! You almost walked the wrong way!" She chirped out,making a hand motion to further her point. Keith was waiting for them to their lefts. Pico was about to keep walking. Huh. "Whatever." He stated,walking past her to go up to the shorter male. This got a sigh out of the brunette who quickly caught up with them in order to avoid being left behind.
Pico wasn't too sure how much time had passed. But he knew that it was a decent awhile. Probably half an hour to an hour. He was not exactly sure. He was still aware though. They were at some fancy food place. Atleast it seemed fancy. He didn't really ask as they all sat down and eventually ordered. Then it was just talkin as they waited for their food. "Today is going to be great!! Oh oh we should definitely go shopping after for some stuff! Like clothes!" Keith suggested excitedly, leaving cherry nodding in agreement and pico rolling his eyes at the mere thought of doing something like that. He didn't want to go shopping. He wanted to go home. But they want to go out more an- oh my god the food looks great.
Pico's train of thought immediately focused in on the plate of spaghetti and meatballs infront of him. It looked so good. He looked at cherry and keith to find them already taking some bites. So he decided to take some too. Can't be too bad or too good right? Oh boy how wrong he was. The moment he took a bite, he felt like he was in heaven. The food was so good. It was fantastic to be honest. The pasta was made in the best way possible and the meatballs was juicy yet a bit tough. Just how he liked his meals normally. It was not surprising that he happily wolfed down the food as if he hadn't eaten in days. He couldn't help it. The food was just way too good. Sorry keith. This meal is givin ya a run for your money now.
Once they were all done and paid for the food,it was back to the tired demeanor. But he was clearly happy. He couldn't help it. The fact that cherry and keith both offered and even argued a bit on who pays for it before cherry won. The way they kept smiling at Pico throughout their meals. The way they were so eager to talk to pico and hear about his interests a bit. He was so..happy. They were so sweet at times. He didn't expect them to keep being this sweet. But they did. They even got sweeter.
"You've been staring at that for awhile dude. You want it?" Keith voiced, shocking pico out of his thoughts. He looked at the cyan haired male before looking back at the hoodie he was looking at. It was a nice dark green color and it was oversized. Perfect. But pricey. "Yeah. It's whatever though. Its alot anyways." He stated in a monotone voice, a sting of hurt washing over him. He really wanted that. But he was also fine with not having it despite how upset it made him since it was expensive. So he didn't expect keith to casually take the hoodie. "Okay! I'll get ya it then!" He said, raising a finger to stop pico from objecting. It was wordless. The ginger knew damn well that he couldn't argue with him. He already made up his mind.
Pico and Keith walked out the mall with bags in tow, cherry bounding after them with some bags too. It wasn't too much. Just some clothes, new shoes for keith, and some hair stuff for pico and cherry. The trio all headed downtown towards this ice cream place keith kept hyping up. The ginger carrying most of the stuff (willingly) silently hoped it was open. He was curious and happy to actually hang out now that he's been out here for so long.
Once they had arrived at the ice cream place, they had to wait for awhile. Long line. But the place was so cool. They could make their own ice cream basically with the flavor and the toppings and what was in the ice cream. They could also watch too! It was so cool to see them prepare it all. Keith almost dropped his though. That dork. They ended up eating the ice cream on some benches near a couple of stores and a deli. Pico liked it. He was so happy to be able to hang out. He should definitely do this more.
Soon enough, they finished and headed home. They were all tired by the end. The moment they got home, they just placed the stuff down and did what they had to do. Then kicked off their shoes and washed up. But today was a good day. A very very good day. Pico soon found himself laying in bed,his spouses barely awake. He needed to ask before it was too late.
"Why did you guy's do this for me..?" He asked genuinely, waiting for a response. Cherry was the first to respond. "Because we wanted to do something nice for you today. We love you babe." She hummed, keith humming and nodding in agreement. It made pico chuckle slightly. Such caring dorks. They're both so sweet. Dare I say, as sweet as sugar. Perhaps even sweeter.
"Well, I love you guys too."
Yeah..
I love you guys.
