Work Text:
It was noon. Cole was sitting on the floor with Fritz and Spitz, who were in their matching pajamas ready to go to bed. Cole was telling a bedtime story about the time when Jay hid his cake in a tree, and how Cole tried to get the cake out but failed miserably.
“Then I had hit every branch while I was falling down!” Cole says with a small fond smile on his face. Cole could remember how hard Kai and Jay were laughing at him, while Cole laid defeated on the ground. He misses them so much.
Fritz and Spitz laughed loudly. Spitz pointed at Cole and says with a teasing smile. “That’s so stupid!” Fritz nods and whipes his tears from all that laughing off his face. “Jay was definitely a geniusss.” Fritz said while still laughing.
Cole chuckles and rolls his eyes assumed. “Nah he is a total dumbas- person.” Cole says quickly recovering form his slip up. He has been in the Land Of Lost Things for just 2 months, so he was still adjusting his language.
Geo walked into the living room clapping his hands together to get everyone’s attention “It’s 8 PM so you two should go to bed.” Geo says with a small smile, while folding his arms over eachother.
Fritz and Spitz grumble, wanting to hear more of Coles stories. “But Cole was just going to tell about how Jay once hosted a game show.” Spitz says grumpily. Geo rolled his eyes assumed, of course one of Coles friends hosted a game show. Geo scooped both Fritz and Spitz in his big arms, making them both giggle. “Cole can tell that idiotic story tomorrow.” Geo says giving Cole a quick teasing smile while walking upstairs to put them to bed.
Cole eyes followed Geo figure while he headed upstairs. Cole’s heart started racing faster, while he felt the heat raising in his neck. Geo made him feel something he has never felt before. Cole sighs and runs his hand through his hair, trying to calm his raising heart down.
Cole stood up walking to the kitchen grabbing two mugs one for him and one for Geo. Cole and Geo always ended the day with some tea, it was one of Cole’s favorite moments of the day. Cole hums some random song under his breath, while looking for a spoon to stir the tea with. He accidentally opens the wrong drawer while looking for the spoon. still adjusting to the new surroundings. He looked into the drawer there was just a bunch of junk. And was about to close it, but than something catches his eye.
A very old identification card, with young Geo on it. Cole smiles fondly at the picture. He has never seen an old picture of Geo. Cole looked at the rest of the information on the card.
Geoder munce
Cole looked at the name, with his eyebrows up in confusion. Geo never told him his full name. Weird. Everyone called him Geo, not even Bonzle has used this to tease Geo. And they would definitely do that.
Suddenly he heard Geo coming back downstairs. Cole quickly does the identification card back into the drawer, and does his best to look nonchalant, while bringing the mugs of tea to the living room.
Geo was already sitting on the couch reading a newspaper of last week, with a focused expression. Cole gulped feeling his heart already going faster, almost failing in front of Geo (literally) over a loss plank. The mugs of tea almost failing out of his hands. “Get a grip.” Cole mumbled to himself nearly not audible.
Geo laughs at Cole’s clumsiness. Geo grabbed the mug from Cole with a small thanks.
They sat in comfortable silence for a good second. Drinking their cup of tea, while the fireplace was almost out of wood. Geo looked at Cole, with a teasing expression and mumbles “Did you really fell out of a tree, because you were trying to get that cake?” Cole eyes widened. his face turning red in embarrassment, or by something else..?
“Whattt I was hungry.” Cole said while acting like he was offended (he clearly wasn’t.) he setting the mug back on the coffee table.
Geo laughed and pokes Cole in his side with his fingers making Cole yelp, while Geo says sarcastically. “Oh the oh so mighty earth ninja was hungry.”
Cole did his head in his hands blushing from embarrassment. “Shut uppp.” Cole slowly looked up with a small smirk. Then whispered teasingly still a faint blush on his cheeks. “Geoder.”
Geo eyes widened in surprise. Where the heck did Cole get that form?! Geo hasn’t told anyone that name, it was embarrassing! Geo quickly does his hand on top of Cole’s mouth, who was laughing like a menace.
“Where did you get that!?” Geo says while his cheeks were getting very dark purple. Everything what Cole said was muffled out by Geo’s hand. Cole quickly grabbed Geo’s wrist, and pulls his hand off his mouth and says quickly while laughing loudly. “Oh geoderrr.”
Geo ears were now turning dark purple, and he quickly pinned Cole against the couch to shut him up. Cole eyes widened red creeping on his cheeks, For a way other reason than being embarrassed. But he quickly fights back rolling his body, so they tumbled off the couch. Cole now on top. Cole holds Geo pinned against the floor, while his breaths are uneven. Cole smirks and says quickly trying to hide his flustered he is. “I win Geoder-”
Suddenly Bonzle walked into the living room with her empty glass of juice. their eyes darting between Geo and Cole. both looking very flustered. Cole quickly got off Geo and cleared his throat. Bonzle just smirks and says “heh yoai.” And walked into the kitchen to refill her glass.
Cole turned to look at Goe with a confused but still flustered expression. “what is a yoai?” Geo who sat up fixing is braid. “I have no clue.” Geo says back with equal confusion.
