Work Text:
Nile: "Why are you sulking, Joe?"
Joe: "Nicky is leaving me."
Nicky: "Only to get milk. I'll be back in five minutes."
Joe: "That's still leaving me."
Joe gives Nicky the biggest, saddest puppy eyes Nile has ever seen, while Nicky knows very well what Joe is up to and has to remind himself of something.
Nicky, muttering to himself: "Don't give in to that cute face. Again."
And yes, Nicky ends up giving in to that cute face, and they all go together to get milk.
