A/N: Thanks to sage for the tea idea! I’m working on something else, the next chapter of Through Time and Space, using a bunch of good and bad things and other contrasts, as well as a Sweet & Sour reference (or possibly two), but it’s taking a while to write. I hope the contrasts will be enough for it to qualify for the challenge.



Ryo had introduced Dee to drinking tea and although Dee still preferred coffee, he’d discovered that tea could be soothing, even learning to make a pretty good brew. After a hard day, he’d sometimes make tea for them both.

Dee liked his tea with milk and sugar, while Ryo found it more refreshing with lemon.

One evening, tired and not paying enough attention to what he was doing, Dee picked up his cup, took a mouthful and promptly spat it out.

“Ugh!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I put milk in the wrong cup!”

It was the best laugh Ryo’d had in days!
