"Aww" Eternal Sugar Cookie giggled, her wings fluttering excitedly. She'd been giddy almost this entire day, and that was most definitely not from drowsiness.

Burning Spice Cookie looked over at her, raising an eyebrow. "What's up with you?"

Out of earshot, C/N Cookie sat on a broken pillar while Shadow Milk Cookie wrapped their leg in gauze. The two were laughing, prior with their sarcasm, latter with his sense for show, throwing jokes and playful jabs at the other.

"Just- look at them! Don't you see?" The Virtue of Sloth waves her hands around, gesturing to the pair. "Shadow Milk Cookie and C/N Cookie! They're so perfect and cute it's painful!"

Eternal Sugar Cookie might be incredibly lazy and sleepy most of the time, but one thing that she put great interest in was romance. The pain, the love, the tragedy! It was one of the few things that caught her eye. She liked to think of herself as diabolic matchmaker. And those two over there were just the perfect shot.

C/N Cookie had been there from the start. Always by Shadow Milk Cookie's side as his loyal little servant. They had a knack for battle skills and never failed to impress anyone, the jester especially. And Eternal Sugar Cookie knew for a fact Shadow Milk Cookie saw them as more than just an assistant.

"You think they like each other romantically?"

"Obviously! Why won't they get together already?!" She huffed. "I mean, he's literally treating their wounds and being as careful as with a porcelain doll. And the hearts in their eyes!"

"They only got injured because of a sparring match with Silent Salt Cookie in the first place."

"And he immediatly got mad and shushed him away to treat his love! That's literally so-" She yawns. "Adorable."

Burning Spice Cookie flashed her a golden, sharp-toothed smile. "Whatever ya say. You're delusional or something."

Meanwhile Shadow Milk Cookie finished wrapping his assistant's leg with bandages. "There! All done." He beamed, standing up and patting their cheek. "You'll be as good as new soon!"

C/N Cookie sighs as he sits down next to them. "Thank you."

"Why of course! I wouldn't want my beloved assistant suffering over any injury." He spread his arms. "Besides, as your favorite playwright author, poet, trickster and jester it is my job to take care of you."

They grin. "It's just a little cut from sparing. I can handle myself."

"Tsk." Shadow Milk Cookie scowled. "Can't believe it. Silent Salt Cookie doesn't know what's good for him, nor when to stop. That old reaper only spars, fights, drinks tea, spars-" He rolled his mismatched eyes.

C/N Cookie put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't put blame on him. I'm glad he wanted to spar. You know he's a Cookie of few words, and besides, there's barely any other good opponent for me."

At that, the jester's dark expression drops and he couldn't help but smile and chuckle. "Hehehe. Oh C/N Cookie. You're annoyingly bossy at times yet kind. Your personality never goes out of style. I find that incredibly admirable."

"Dork." They snorted, covering their mouth. "Your flirting attempts are horrible."

"Oh" Shadow Milk Cookie pulls back, widening his eyes and putting a hand on his chest. "You don't appreciate my compliments? Since when have you gotten so snarky? You hurt my feelings, sweetie, really."

"Hope so." C/N Cookie rolled their eyes playfully, shoving him slightly. They look over at the other Beasts in the distance. "Mm, say... when do we plan on telling them we're together? They don't seem to have noticed yet."

Shadow Milk Cookie smiled. "Nah." He pressed a kiss too their temple. "They'll figure it out. It's pretty obvious you're my little doll."

(help why does Silent Salt suddenly remind me of Capitano)
