"Break time, Nini" Roseanne got in with her usual charming smile. Skipping inside with enthusiasm and a bag of snacks. Usually, the loud voice will get a retort or the click of the tongue as a response, but Roseanne heard none. Jennie's gaze fixed out of the window, her head is low and she didn't look back at Roseanne.

Roseanne being herself places the bag of snacks on the couch before back hugging the brunette, she got alarmed when Jennie let out a sob.

"Hey, what's wrong? baby" Roseanne asked in concern, she knows that something is wrong when Jennie didn't push her away or threw any snarky comments at her. "Do you need help with something?"

"Not from you, I don't" she barked but didn't push her away.

"Is this about your piece, you haven't finished it yet"

"No" she threw her head back on Roseanne's shoulder, sniffing "I don't even have a concept yet that's the thing"

Roseanne hugged her tighter "Well, I'm sure you would think of one eventually, I mean you always do. Remember, the last project you made for Brooklyn Museum, the one with the weird anther and everything?"

"Yeah" she nodded, pouting a little. Roseanne reached and wiped her cheeks, turning her around so Jennie can look at her.

"You said you can't do that too, but it turns out to be your record-breaking project, the one that showcases more of your talent to other art galleries, and you eventually signed the papers for your very own art gallery, the one that leads you to this. This is the opportunity to show your art to the world, so don't lose hope yet, Princess. you are amazing, and gonna do amazing with this project you are working on, just give it time, you have plenty of them, anyways" Roseanne cupped her cheeks, wiping the last tears that fell from the brunette's eyes.

"I hate that you are right," she said, smirking at her, suddenly aware of their distance between them. "Thanks, but I still hate you" she slapped Roseanne's hand from her cheeks, moving to the couch to see what the blonde has brought her this time.

"I know, you said that a million times already"

"Really? Then add this" she started opening the pack of cookies, when she can't, she glared at Roseanne, Roseanne giggled before kneeling in front of her, opening the pack of Oreos for Jennie. "I will continue this madness again. Since your delivery is done here, so you know....?"

Jennie trailed and tilted her head towards the door, gaining a pout from Roseanne "I don't get some of those?"

"No" Jennie moved the packet away from the blonde and wasn't bothered about the puppy eyes and the annoying pout on the latter's face.

"Please?" Roseanne was persistent, and Jennie rolled her eyes before, shoving a piece of cookie in the blonde's mouth.

"Do your magic, Princess. I'm not gonna bother you, I'll just see you later for our date" she hold on to Jennie's knees to push herself up, and placed a kiss on Jennie's cheeks before running away from the brunette.

"Yuck, that's gross" she wiped her left
cheek which is sticky with oreo crumbs from the blonde lips. But Roseanne is already out of sight. Jennie closed the door and finally let out the giddy smile which is bothering her cheeks.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

 

The day had gone by with Jennie not achieving anything but a pile of 'supposed' scraps on every corner of the place. Half of those scraps are actually pretty decent if you would look at it, but Jennie was born a perfectionist, and she knew decent wouldn't take her anywhere near her dreams.

It was quarter to seven when she called it a day and started to clean the tools she used and herself as well. Any minute now Roseanne would come and she didn't wanna look like a mess if she did. Not that she's excited about this or anything, she just hates the idea of making someone wait when she hates the same thing happening to her too.

And just as she finished washing her face, she heard a few gentle knocks on the door followed by the shrill sound of Roseanne's voice echoing through the place. She is quite surprised that Roseanne just didn't barge in this time. "You ready to bowl, princess?"

Jennie looked at herself in the mirror one last time before stepping out of the bathroom. She saw Roseanne sitting on one of the bean bags and playing with the Rubik's cube she probably found on the shelves. Grabbing her bag from the table, she walked towards her and prompted her to stand up.

"Yep. Let's go."

Roseanne stopped playing and tilted her head up only to get starstruck by the woman in front of her. Her jaw even dropped for a second before she slowly stood up to tower over Jennie.

"Woah."

"Woah?"

"You look stunning.”

Jennie's brow furrowed "I'm wearing an oversized worn-out hoodie, Roseanne"

"And you're totally pulling it off" Jennie scoffed.

"Shut up. Let's just go"

"Alrighty, madam."

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

"You kinda look like the baby shark" She threw her hand over Jennie's shoulder bringing her closer, indicating the blue hoodie Jennie is wearing. As she paid at the entrance.

"I'm not a baby nor a shark" she scowled, turning her back and entering the club.

"Baby shark dodo turu" Roseanne sang and whispered near her ear, sending a shiver running through Jennie's spine.

"Roseanne!"

"Okay," she laughed at the expression of the brunette, raising her hands in surrender, "So, ready to lose the game and win my heart princess"

"As if I'd let me lose over you," Jennie said, ignoring the latter.

"You won't, you already won me, darling"

"Yuck, I don't want you, I want victory"

"I'm more valuable than that" Roseanne pouted. Jennie looked away trying to find an excuse to mask the blush in her cheeks.

"No, I'm winning this game one way or another, Roseanne park" Jennie boasted proudly as she wore the bowling shoes that were given to them by the staff.

Roseanne just laughed. "You're so confident, princess" Then she stood up after she was done wearing her own. Leaning her palm on her waist, she added, "I love it. It's y"

"Of course I'm y. You didn't have to tell me what I already knew"

"I know. I just like saying it." Jennie rolled her eyes. She stood up after she was done with her as well then went to look at the monitor screen. Their names flashed respectively and there were empty boxes next to them, waiting to be filled in. Roseanne stepped behind her and leaned.

"Wanna do a bet again? Like last time?" she suggested, smirking when Jennie turned to look at her.

"Like the last time you lost?"

Roseanne shrugged.

Jennie looked at her for a second before taking one little step back to face her, nodding. "Hm. Okay, then" she hummed. Jennie loves competition so much that looking forward to something, be it a simple price, would give her the rush and the excitement she needed right now.

Roseanne smiled, sensing just about that. She crossed her arms and then pursed her lips, taking a step forward to decrease the gap between them. Jennie pushed her a little so she giggled, teasing the tiny girl as she ruffles her hair.

"Hey"

"You first"

Jennie caught her finger and twisted it a little too rough, making Roseanne laugh with the pain. "If I win, which I'm sure I would, you're not gonna annoy me and talk to me until this night ends"

"That doesn't sou-"

"Understood?" Roseanne nodded.

"Yes, ma'am," she said obediently,

"Is that all?"

Jennie contemplated for a second when an idea struck her head "No. You're also gonna carry me all the way to the restaurant where we will eat our dinner later after the game" she crossed her arms. "My feet hurts. I don't wanna walk"

"Alright, that's fine. I can do that" Roseanne agreed. "But in case you lose and I win, you're gonna have to let me kiss those soft, fluffy cheeks of yours" she pointed at Jennie's cheeks, "Right there"

Jennie brushed her finger away "No way I'm gonna let that happen"

"So you better win, princess. Cause that is my end of the deal"

"Could you just think of another torture?"

"That's not a torture. My lips are pretty soft" Roseanne defended, running her fingers on her lips.

Jennie rolled her eyes. "It is for me. And I don't want your lips anywhere near my cheeks" she said, covering those soft dumplings with her palms.

Roseanne pouted, "Fine, But I'm making it harder this time" she threatened when her face lit up, "Oh! Why don't you just kiss mine instead?"

"Your lips? Ew!"

"No, not my lips. My cheeks. Here." she told her, pinching her cheeks.

Jennie groaned. " Fine, You're not gonna win anyway so what's the harm"

"Yeah, what's the harm? It's just a peck on my cheeks and you're good to go."

"As if you'd win"

"We'll see about that"

Jennie glared at her, before getting the ball from the rack. "Time to win Ruby Jane"

"Good luck, buttercup"

"Thanks, loser"

Roseanne concentrates on the brunette through all her moves, when she jogged and rolled the ball onto the track with a classy style even running her fingers through her hair as a finishing touch, Roseanne can't control her laugh.

She is so extra

Roseanne threw her head back, falling on the couch laughing out loud, some staff at the club turned their head toward her craziness but didn't mind taking a second glance at her. Roseanne also didn't mind as much as it is funny, the brunette is effortlessly so beautiful and y doing that.

"YAY" Jennie squealed and jumped at the excitement, a second later Roseanne got back her breath and push her body on her elbow to look at Jennie.

Strike!

On the first try? Roseanne's jaw dropped, Jennie proudly sat on the couch on the opposite like it was her throne and flipped her brunette hair teasing the blonde.

"Go ahead, loser" Jennie said, lying on the couch.

Roseanne smiled at her, took a deep breath, and stretched her limbs, taking the ball and moving to the front of the bowling track. There is no harm in either losing or winning, she doesn't mind carrying Jennie to the restaurant or getting a kiss from her.

So why bother? Jennie will , it is not like she is getting it daily. She just did a slow throw carelessly but also carefully for the competitive side of her.

The ball went with a single bounce, hitting all the pins except one still dangling at the edge, before falling giving Roseanne the first strike just like Jennie.

Roseanne twirled with her heel, facing the brunette with a proud grin, seeing a wide-eyed kitty. "Ready your lips, sweetheart"

"In your dreams"

The rest of the game went with Jennie determining to win the game. And Roseanne loved to see the game face on, on the brunette. Roseanne just admired her from the couch and also focused on the game. She just wants to lift her in the air and kiss her for every throw she does, Jennie just makes everything look so beautiful and it doesn't stop the butterflies in Roseanne's stomach.

Roseanne let out a snort when the ball went into the gutter. Jennie turned shooting daggers at her, Roseanne immediately zipped her lips.

"Stop laughing"

"I'm not laughing anymore" she smiled and later laughed at her.

"Liar, I can see your lungs about to come out of your mouth from laughing too much, you "

"I'm not"

"Not laughing anymore" Jennie intimated Roseanne's voice and mocked her accent, rolling her eyes as she does.

In the end, Jennie won by... Single point. Jumping up and down in excitement.

"By single point" Roseanne defended.

"A win is a win, loser" Jennie stuck her tongue out, having a happy smile on her face.

"Well, You are happy that's a win for me"

"Don't find excuses, now let's go to dinner, I'm hungry"

"Your wish is my command"

It was not until they reached the entrance of the bowling club that Jennie remembered her bet, she waited until Roseanne was down at the last step before standing on the second step of the stairs before jumping on Roseanne's back.

Roseanne was startled and yelped in surprise but caught Jennie's legs around her waist.

"Forgot the bet"

"Oh, right" Roseanne nodded, also enjoying the warmth from Jennie.

"So if you really want to hug me that much, you just have to ask, you know" Roseanne started the walk into the cold wide streets, making Jennie hug her tighter.

"You shouldn't talk with me till the night ends, that's our deal too" she grabbed Roseanne's face turning her forward, making her face straight ahead. "Finally a moment for peace" she leaned on Roseanne's shoulder and relaxed.

Roseanne looked at her through the corner of her eyes. Seeing the brunette squish her cheeks and relaxing, she let out a smile and carried her into the streets of a cold night. No talking with her but there are no restrictions for her to stop looking so she can watch her and feel her against her back as long as she wants, It is like those silent romantic movies but in colored.

After a while She slowly but made it very subtle to lean on Jennie and connect their heads. But she felt Jennie's warm breath on her nape and stopped any attempt to do anything.

Throughout the dinner surprisingly Roseanne didn't talk with Jennie, and Jennie should not be disappointed but she is, she wants to hear the angelic voice desperately now, but her pride wasn't letting her make the move and say a single word. But Roseanne did make the brunette laugh by stuffing her cheeks with bread, and she suddenly felt a little happy with it. Roseanne always makes her feel at ease even she doesn't talk with her. And of course, the brunette won't admit it.
