Work Text:
One day, Happy and Toby were sitting in their apartment in the middle of a storm. Suddenly, Toby felt hungry and went to the fridge. There was only a green apple, bologna, mayo, lettuce, cheese, a tomato, bread, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. So, Toby decided to make a couple of sandwiches with what was left and have ice cream with whipped cream for dessert.
Toby made the sandwiches and went back to the couch to hand Happy her sandwich and sit with his wife on the sofa.
"So, lovely weather we're having today." Toby mumbled through the bite of sandwich he just took.
"Yeah, if you're the kind of person who tends to be melancholy all the time." Happy commented.
"How do you think the rest of the team is doing?"
"I don't know, but we could find out. I'll go get the phone."
However, just as Happy stood up the power went out.
"Rats. Guess we can't call the others now." Happy sighed before sitting back down and eating the rest of her sandwich.
"It's fine, I'll go get the lantern." Toby offered before taking a bite out of his sandwich and getting up.
After a few seconds, Toby returned with the lantern. It was really a magnetic light Happy used to look under Cabe's car hood once.
"Seriously doc? That's the 'lantern' you got?" Happy questioned, using air quotes when she said lantern.
"It's all we have sugarbug. Besides, it works for a light source doesn't it?" Toby teased.
Happy slightly jabbed Toby in his left shoulder, resulting in him slightly choking on his sandwich.
"I can't perform the heimlich maneouver on myself now can I?" Toby interrogated after swallowing.
Happy laughed. A few minutes passed and the couple finished their sandwiches. So Toby picked up their plates, put them in the kitchen on the counter before getting the ice cream and whipped cream. He brought two bowls of vanilla ice cream in the living room and put them on the table. He applied some whipped cream on his upper lip to make it look like he had a curly mustache.
"I think you're too old for me if you've got a white mustache doc." Happy laughed.
"Huh, maybe I shouldn't have stayed under the sun that long yesterday, must've bleached my mustache." Toby joked.
It was immediately after this that Happy did something completely unexpected. She doodled a goatee on Toby's with the whipped cream.
"Yup, way too old." Happy quipped.
Toby laughed at Happy's joke. He took his spoon and wiped the whipped cream off his face before eating it with some ice cream. Remebering the green apple in the fridge, he sliced it and decided to put 3 of the slices on his ice cream. He put some whipped cream on the left and right before putting an apple slice on the left and another on the right.
Last he put some whipped cream to make a smiley mouth and put an apple slice on it. Happy snook one of the apple slices and ate it. When he turned around, Toby noticed his dessert wasn't smiling anymore, and neither was he.
"Hey! That was mine!" Toby whined.
"Nothing's exactly just anyone's anymore remember? When we got married we promised we'd share everything." Happy reminded.
"True." Toby agreed before putting another apple slice for the left ear. He put Happy the other two apple slices as sad shut eyes.
"What's that for?" Happy queried.
"Well I just wanted to show you how I felt when you ate my ice cream's left ear. I was sad." Toby explained.
"At least you had a replacement."
"Can I tell you something?"
"I'm your wife dummy, of course you can."
"I just wanted you to know that you can never be replaced. No matter how much you think I'm a flirt, I'm only a flirt for you. There's something about you that brings out the best in me and that can't be replaced, ever. Neither can our love."
Happy playfully pinched Toby's arm.
"What was that for!? I was just trying to be nice!" Toby complained.
"The ice cream's sweet enough thank you." Happy mocked.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity the power returned.
"Well, do you want to call the others now?" Toby wondered.
"Maybe later, I just want to spend the rest of the evening with my husband." Happy yawned before placing her head on Toby's left shoulder and falling asleep.
