Sprout x Glisten! (Fluff)
_________________________________________

Sprout started walking away from the kitchen, he was supposed to bake with Cosmo today but he cancelled for some reason. No biggie, he could just do something else!

Yeah, no. He wanted to bake, sure, he baked yesterday but baking basically was his whole personality! Who was he if he couldn't bake?

He turned around gracefully and returned to his beloved kitchen. It seemed like nobody went in here besides him and Cosmo, he heard someone at night but that wasn't his problem.

Now another problem stood in his way, what would he bake? He was getting tired of cupcakes, and the idea of cake didn't sound appealing right now, perhaps cookies?

Sprout couldn't remember the last time he actually baked cookies, a classic dessert yet so overlooked. But cookies were basic, he wanted something else, anything else!

How about chocolate pie? It's a simple ( and tasty) treat! Besides he needs to do more recipes and learn more stuff! He quickly grabbed his cooking book and read the needed ingredients.

He was about to start until he saw a figure at the doorway. Glisten, he stood there, arms crossed, with a smug expression. Clearly judging Sprout for who knows what, Sprout scoffed, he didn't have time for Glisten right now, he needed to cure his boredom!

He heard Glisten walk closer and hum, he looked up, now seeing Glisten in front of him, and mentally sighed. But something was off, Glisten no longer had his 'Im better than you haha' look anymore, he looked nervous in a way.

Sprout raised his eyebrow at this and continued to stare at him, for research obviously! Not because he liked looking at Glisten, yeah, mhm. "Is there uh something you need? Or are you just going to stand there and watch me?" Sprout was curious, usually Glisten would have been screaming at him by now but—

He wasn't.

And that a strange, Sprout didn't have a problem with the new found quietness from Glisten but it still was strange. Glisten only stared back, clearly embarrassed by something, Sprout held back a smile. Glisten? THE Glisten? Embarrassed? Sprout needed know what happened, maybe tease him about it too.

"That's none of your concern! I can stand here if I want too, you strawberry Twink! (hypocrite) Also stop staring at me like that you—"

Sprout tuned out Glisten, well, seems like he's okay for now, but he could still sense uneasiness coming from him. He blankly stared at Glisten, who was still rambling about how 'bad' Sprout is. He slowly leaned closer, Glisten didn't notice.

He reached both of his hands out, one holding the side of Glisten's face, the other one over his mouth. Glisten was obviously shocked but didn't try to move, Sprout grinned at his sudden obedience and moved his hands. He picked up the cook book and began getting the ingredients for the pie.

Glisten on the other hand was a blushing mess, in all honesty, he had come because he wanted to have some company. Sprout didn't really shoo him away so I guess that meant he could stay.

He hesitantly grabbed a chair and sat down, observing Sprout as he got to work. He couldn't deny that he thought Sprout was cute but he'd never admit that out loud. He crossed his legs and sighed, this was kind of boring now. He didn't even mean to insult Sprout but for some reason that's his first instinct, he knew it wasn't healthy and he was getting help from Rodger. (W wingman Rodger)

"I'm gonna ask you again. Is there anything you need, Glisten?"

Glisten loved the way he said his name, was it cheesy to think like this, yeah, did he care? No. He opened his mouth to reply, he could basically hear the insults rising towards his throat.

No.

Remember what Rodger told you, breathe, stay calm.

"I—.. I just wanted some company.."

Sprout was shocked at this, he expected to be screamed at again. He smiled, it was a start! It looked like Glisten was actually trying, he felt his face heat up as he walked towards Glisten. He went to hug him but decided against it, he put up his hand, expected a hand shake but was pulled into a tight hug by Glisten.

Eventually they broke apart and smiled at eachother, heavy blush across both of their faces. Now was the million dollar question, Sprout mentally prepared himself.

"Truce?"

Sprout spoke out, having a bit of a voice crack but it was okay.

Glisten smirked and grabbed sprouts hand, "For now." And with that Glisten kissed his hand, making Sprout turn a different shade of red.

"O-okay..!"

Sprout speed walked away, going back to baking. Glisten chucked, maybe having each other's company would be that bad.
