Nic nodded a little as he took another sip of coffee. Then he leaned over and lightly licked the strawberry tart off Laurel's cheek.

Laurel blinked then blushed deeply again, "W... W-What was that?" she asked when she found her voice.

Nic opened his mouth to show her the bit of tart before eating it.

Laurel kept blushing but suddenly leaned over and licked his cheek. Then she smirked.

Nic seemed a little surprised that he had had something on his face. He was a fairly clean eater.

"There was nothing there," Laruel replied with a laugh, "Just felt like licking you."

Nic blinked, but he seemed fine with that too.

Laruel continued to smirk, "Hmm, you tasted pretty good," she teased, "I might just eat you up," and tackled him from the side. Clearly Laurel was perfectly comfortable around him now.

Somehow Nic managed not to spill the coffee or tarts as Laurel tackled him.

Laurel seemed content to hug him tightly, "Can I have a sip?" she asked.

Nic put the tarts down before handing her the coffee. It was pretty strong.

Laurel made a face as she took a long swig, "You're that tired?" she asked before taking another sip. "I usually add more cream, doyoulikeitbetterlikethis?" she asked, already getting a bit wired.

Nic gently took the coffee back from her.

Laurel pouted a little before grabbing another tart. Then she looked at Nic, still waiting for her answer.

"... I make it like this," Nic replied simply, taking another tart before Laurel ate the rest of his breakfast.

"Should I make it that way from now on?" Laurel asked as the buzz wore off a little.
