Chapter Text
Sherbet was drinking a cup of cocoa by the shop, when she saw Tangerine awkardly sit down next to her. He leaned back and crossed his legs, though she could tell he was nervous.
"…Can I help you?" She asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, uhm- I believe I… shouldn’t really be the one telling you about this, but I… think you should probably know, if you don’t already…"
"Sorbet’s hiding something from me again, isn’t he? Always thinking that I’m just a stupid protective older sister…" She huffed, crossing her arms.
"Yeahhh- I feel like this time it’s is somewhat… reasonable, though," Tangerine’s voice got quieter, hoping to not unnerve Sherbet.
She immediately turned her head to him. "You’ve got my attention."
"This is moreso a uh… suspicion… but him and Vanilla… might be… dating…?"
Sherbet’s eyes widened and she felt like somebody had just dumped a bag full of ice onto her.
"What."
"Do take it with a bit of salt of course, but-"
"No, no. That’s… that’s gotta be true. God, I knew something was a bit too affectionate with the way he talks about them-"
"…Sorry to be the bearer of the news, then…?"
"It’s… fine, really. How did you even find out though?"
"I… might have seen Sorbet give Vanilla a kiss on the cheek earlier after healing them…"
Sherbet sighed. "Right. I’ll talk to him later."
"Cool, cool. I’ll uh… get going now." Tangerine nodded, standing up. "…Bye." He added awkardly.
"Bye," Sherbet waved as he walked off, before turning back to her cocoa with a sigh. Her and Sorbet really needed to have a talk later.
