mtxref_ficAuthor's Note: Written for "fic_promptly">'s Yami no Matsuei, Tsuzuki/Hisoka, the fragrance of a cup of tea
It was an ordinary autumn morning at the office, no different than any other, or so it seemed. A round of paperwork left over from the night before to be finished. Tsuzuki was trying to apply himself to it for a change, but it didn't take long for him to start losing his momentum. Normally Hisoka would keep working to encourage his partner to keep going, but they had had a long night and he would need a pick me up.
"You keep working: I'll find some tea to keep us going," Hisoka said, getting up from the desk they shared.
Tsuzuki perked up, smiling. "That would be great, Hisoka!" he said, cheering up quickly.
"You don't have to mope over it," Hisoka muttered, snarking, but smiling as he stepped out of the room.
A few minutes later, he returned with a pot of green tea and two clean cups. As he expected, Tsuzuki had his head down on the table, his cheek on the papers, dozing. He filled one of the cups and set it on the desk before his partner. Tsuzuki sniffed, then opened his eyes and looked up. "Ooh, that smells good," he said, sitting up.
"It's a bit strong, but you might need it strong, after last night," Hisoka said.
Tsuzuki took the cup and sniffed at the steam rising from it. "Mmm, just the smell alone is strong enough to wake you up," he said, then took a sip from it. He blinked a bit. "Whoo, that'll really wake me up. Thanks, Hisoka!"
"You'll need it: Tatsumi will be in here in a few minutes to collect this report."
"Oh, man! Already?!" Tsuzuki wailed.
