Work Text:
When Booker walked through the kitchen muttering swear words to himself in French, Nile knew she shouldn't talk to him right now. So, instead, Nile waited until Joe sat down minutes later at the kitchen table with a big bowl of cornflakes.
Nile: "Why is Booker sulking today? Has someone eaten his crisps again?"
Joe chuckled.
Joe: "He is a sore loser, as always."
Booker had heard the entire conversation because he had forgotten the coffee.
Booker: "I am not a sore loser because the only reason why I lost in poker is that your boyfriend cheated by counting the cards."
Booker poured more sugar into the coffee mug than coffee.
Booker: "And no, I am not sulking."
Joe: "As I said before, a sore loser."
Booker left the kitchen with the coffee while swearing in French again. Seconds later, Nicky came into the kitchen, and after kissing Joe, Nicky sat down to eat a piece of bread with honey on it.
Nile: "Nicky, did you count the cards while playing poker with Booker?"
Nicky: "It's not my fault he wasn't paying attention during poker because he was also watching football at the same time, and I can't be blamed for France losing to Poland."
