Enemies to lovers

Cosmo x Sprout

I'm gonna attempt to pull an all nighter so I can get more chapters out 💁🏽‍♀️

Sprout huffed and crossed his arms as he peaked around the corner; there he was. The worst person he had ever met. Cosmo.

He hated Cosmo for a petty reason but it was pretty justified in his mind, ever since he had met that annoying Pastrie, he had used up the kitchen! Not giving Sprout any time to actually bake.

Every time Sprout was about to bake, Cosmo swarmed him out of the kitchen! He even locked the door so Sprout couldn't enter, he rolled his eyes and walked away.

He needed help with this little pest and he knew exactly where to go.

"S-so you want me to help you get rid of him?" Shrimpo punched the punching bag even harder; his breaths groggy as he had been doing this for a good hour.

"Yes. He's invading MY kitchen and I need someone who isn't afraid to cuss people out. Leading me to.. well.. you?" Sprout leaned on  the door framed, waving his hand around as he explained the situation.

"Hm.. and what do I get out of this?" Shrimpo said as he took off his boxing gloves, side eyeing Sprout the whole time. "Well.. what do you want?" Sprout stood up straight as he asked, getting a tad bit nervous at the thought of what THE Shrimpo could possibly want.

"Mmm nothin.. yeah. I'll do it for free, I don't have anything to do anyways." Sprout smiled at this and watched as Shrimpo walked towards the kitchens; he let out a devilish chuckle and followed, excited to see this play out.

Shrimpo kicked down the door, startling Cosmo, who panicked and threw a nearby fire extinguisher at him; hitting him straight in the head.

Cosmo gasped and slowly approached him but when he noticed Sprout; he quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and slammed the door shut, leaving Shrimpo on the floor.

"Are you.. okay?" Sprout helped Shrimpo stand up, Shrimpo rubbed his head and groaned. "Yeah no. You're on your own." Shrimpo turned around and started walking away, making Sprout frown.

"W-wait! Let's try something else? Please. I need help and you're the only person cruel enough to help me." Sprout pleaded, putting on a dramatic tone as he tried to convince him.

Shrimpo face palmed and sighed.

"Fine."

Shrimpo stood in front of a white board, he was now wearing reading glasses and a fancy black suit. "Okay. Listen up Milk-shake boy, we have a job to do! We're gonna get your kitchen back so you can stop bothering me!"

Sprout sat on a stool in front of him, nodding at every word that came out of his mouth. Shrimpo picked up a dry-erase marker and wrote something down; pulling away with a huff.

'Cutting off his resources.' sprout rasied an eyebrow, "As we both know, you need eggs and other ingredients to bake a sweets. We're gonna take those away from him so he has nothing to do! Great plan? I know"

Sprout smiled at this idea, time to get to work.

The next two days were horrible, each time they would cut off his supply; he'd somehow just get even more!

"Okay. That did not go well. But! We still have one more plan!" Shrimpo moved over to reveal another plan on the board.

'Talk it out' Sprout gasped and backed up, "what. What are you talking about?! I'm not talking to that weasel!"

Shrimpo threw the marker at him and groaned. "You're on your own then, get your shit together"

Shrimpo walked out, grumbling stuff under his breath. Looks like Sprout was on his own.

Maybe Shrimpo was right, he should just.. talk it out with him. He thought about it, he was being a tad overdramatic.

He stood up and sighed, time to actually be mature.

He walked towards the kitchen and knocked on the door, he heard Cosmo's voice as he approached; opening the door with a smile before it faded upon seeing Sprout. He slammed the door but was stopped by Sprout's foot.

"Listen.. I just want to talk.. Please." Cosmo's gaze softened as he left Sprout inside; immediately going behind the counter.

"I know I've been a total jerk these past few weeks but.. you took my kitchen. And refused to let me inside." Cosmo looked off to the side and frowned.

"Im sorry too, it's just that.. i-I usually do all of the cooking. It was just so alarming to see and know someone else that was just as talented a-as me. i-I.. I was scared. I was scared you were gonna replace me in some way." Cosmo ranted a bit, holding himself tighter with each word.

Sprout stood up, his eyes wide as he walked over to Cosmo; bringing him into a hug. "How about a truce? We work together instead of being petty.?"

Cosmo smiled and nodded at this, hugging Sprout back.

Sprout looked up and saw Shrimpo staring at him in the door well; holding a mini white board. Sprout squinted and read the words.

'haha I told you so'

Shrimpo silently giggled and walked away, still in his super fancy suit.

Sprout rolled his eyes and pulled away from Cosmo, taking a minute to admire him.

"I can see this alliance going far, buddy." Cosmo stared at him as Sprout muttered those words, blushing rising to his face.

"Y-yeah. Me too."

"You're not so bad, brownie boy."

Cosmo smiled and slightly got closer to him.

"You either, berry buddy."
