“Hey Grian, wanna see something?” Joel whispered to Grian as he got close, in the process of opening up a regular Hershey's chocolate bar. Grian looked down at the bar with a raised brow before looking back up at Joel with the same look.
“Does it involve the chocolate bar?” Grian asked. Joel grinned as he unwrapped the bar halfway and broke off one of the squares.
“And Jimmy.” Joel smirked and before Grian could question him on it, Joel moved closer to where Jimmy was on the nightstand, messing around on Joel’s phone. “Jimmy!” Joel called to get the borrower’s attention. Jimmy looked up and behind him toward Joel as the human hovered over him. Joel grinned and held out the square of chocolate toward Jimmy. “Want some chocolate?”
Jimmy’s eyes went wide and he was quick to take the chocolate from Joel’s fingers. Even though it was just a square, it was still about the size of Jimmy’s torso. Still, that didn’t stop Jimmy from tearing into it happily.
Grian came over and looked at Jimmy with wide eyes. “Wow, he’s really going at it.”
Joel crossed his arms and chuckled. “Yep. He did the same thing when he tried chocolate cake at my place for the first time.” He turned his head to look at Grian. “I’ve never seen him eat so much. If I hadn’t stopped him, he might’ve actually eaten the whole thing.”
As Joel laughed at that, Grian rolled his eyes. “I doubt that would’ve happened.” Grian said, but still, Jimmy looked as though, at the very least, he would be finishing the square of chocolate. Which was a lot for the borrower. Maybe even too much. He was also eating it way too fast for Grian’s liking. Grian was actually starting to get a bit worried. “Jimmy, slow down, you’re going to choke.”
Jimmy rolled his eyes as he took another bite out of the chocolate. “I’m not going to cho-” His sentence was cut off as he started coughing, and essentially, choking. Both human’s eyes went wide and Grian slapped Joel’s arm repeatedly.
“Water! He needs water!” Grian exclaimed and Joel ran over to their mini fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and the cap that Jimmy drank out of. He quickly poured some in, being less than careful in his hurry and spilling a bit of water in the process, before running back over to Jimmy and setting it down in front of him.
Jimmy put the chocolate down and eagerly gulped at the water. It thankfully cleared his throat and he sighed in relief, as did the humans when they saw he was okay.
Grian sent Jimmy a look. “I told you to slow down!”
“I didn’t think I would actually start choking!” Jimmy exclaimed and Grian let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. As he looked back up, he noticed Jimmy once again reaching for the chocolate. Grian’s eyes widened and he grabbed the chocolate before Jimmy could.
“Hey!” Jimmy exclaimed but quieted down at Grian’s look.
“I think you’ve had more than enough chocolate for today.” Grian said and then popped the remains of the chocolate square into his mouth before going back over to his desk to continue his studying.
Jimmy was pouting but it soon cleared as Joel’s hand reached down again, holding another chocolate square. Jimmy grinned and grabbed it, looking up at Joel thankfully as Joel winked at him. “He’ll never know.” He whispered.
“Joel!” Grian exclaimed, appearing behind Joel as if he had teleported over there. Joel yelped in surprise and turned around as Grian took the chocolate bar from Joel’s hand. “No more chocolate for you either!”
“But Grian!” Joel whined and followed after Grian back to his desk to pester him to give him his chocolate bar back.
Fortunately for Jimmy, Grian hadn’t taken away his second chocolate square and Jimmy munched on it happily, making sure he was eating slower than before as he turned back to use Joel’s phone some more. As the bickering continued on behind him, he couldn’t help but smile.
