First Catch of The Day

“I’ll just be over there, by my post, as usual.” A lifted their bucket with small bits of bait inside. Their fishing rod resting over their shoulder while looking over at B.

“I think I could get a huge catch this time.” A added with certainty in their tone.

“Mmm…” B gruffly hummed in genuine awareness, rubbing a finger under their nose from an itch. 

“You go and do that. SNNFf-Mmmk!” They sniffle-hiccuped at the end.

A heavy grunt escaped their lips at the sudden thump at the back of their throat, but it didn’t bother them as much. They’re quite used to it, to be frank.

Apart from A being bemused at B’s case, it was endearing to see B slumped in their post, focusing on the waters with their fishing rod gripped on their calloused hands. A went over to them placing a hand over their broad shoulder, kissing their head, then patting their shoulder before leaving.

Panning the moment to B, they found it endearing to be going fishing with A. It was a fairly quiet afternoon. They decided to take a walk down a pathway to the bay of a lake and go fishing. Whenever the day is bright and peaceful, they visit the lake to fish, because why not? They release their catch at the end though, so no animals were harmed. Just some good o'l fishing.

“Hmmmk!” B would convulse about in their place, getting a bit distracted at the involuntary action since their vision always shifts along each hitch. They would rub their chest and stomach, feeling the jolts against their palm.

Their focus, however, is never swayed from their leisure as much, letting the hiccups course without restraint as they waited for their catch.

Then, they felt something tugging them by their coat. It tugged once, then twice. It prompted them to look down. A fishing hook was caught on their clothing which belonged from A.

“What’s t-HMMP! The meaning of this?” B couldn’t help but let out a soft guffaw, slightly confused by the fishing hook.

“I told you I’ll be getting a huge catch! And a hefty one, too.~” A exclaimed with a soft swoon.

B blinked at A. A grinned at B. A long pause between them screamed louder than the occasional rippling of the water from the lake.

B couldn’t help but burst out laughing heartily at what A had said, realizing the joke. “Huck!Uh…oh my goodness, A…Hmmmk! I’m the catch of Hmk!��The day, huh?” B guffaw-hiccuped a couple of times. “Yooou cheeky Hnk!-minx!”

They felt A rubbing their jerking back, leaning to A’s hand in return for comfort from the sudden increase in suddenness of their case.

A calmed themselves down before uttering, “Ooh! I forgot. You’re not a fish. M’sorry, my love. Oh, let me get this off of you.” They snickered, planting their face on B’s back to muffle their chuckles. They removed the hook off of B's coat.

"I hooked this when you were distracted. It didn't pierce through your coat or anything. I didn't ruin it! At least I hope not." A checked. They felt awful to have done it, but it was just an innocuous joke.

“You goof. Tr-Humk! Treating me like a fish now, are you? I can't believe this. Hngk!-uh.” B feigned disbelief and chuckled, feeling the rumbling in their chest.

"I said I was sorry!" A clarified, flushing a bit, but also gave an apologetic kiss on B's temple.

B ruffled A’s hair out of playfulness, knowing A was just teasing them. In the end, they didn’t catch as many fish as they thought, but A will certainly remember this moment. They were lucky to have caught a huge catch, aka, their hiccupy beloved.
