Happy Breadsday, Jo

[super silly little JoCassie drabble ♡]

"Hey, did you know there is a bread day?," Jo asks, not looking up from her laptop screen.

"Huh?," Cassie asks while pouring herself a cup of coffee.

Jo reads out loud: "On April 19th, I made bread - Latin graffiti from Pompeii's gladiator barracks."

Cassie takes a sip from her mug. "That's not entirely correct though."

"Huh?," Jo asks.

Cassie shrugs. "That is the Julian Calendar. For our calendar it would be April 7."

"My birthday?" Jo grins. "That's cool. I love bread!"

Cassie smiles. "You sure do."

"Wait. How the fuck did you know that?"

"Are you serious? Last week you ate our entire garlic bread on one day - and we bought that for the party on Thursday-"

"No, I mean the calendar thing."

"Ah." Cassie shrugs again. "I just know random stuff like this."

Jo nods, leans forward onto the kitchen counter and rests her chin on her hand.

"You're so smart," she sighs. "And pretty."

Cassie swats her arm with the newspaper that she always reads with her morning coffee. "Shut up," she say with a smile.

"Good morning, my love," Cassie sings happily when Jo enters their living room.

Jo yawns, rubs her eyes - and then stops dead in her tracks.

The dinner table is full of bread. Mixed wheat and rye bread, whole-grain bread, potato bread, rolls, baguette and - of course - garlic bread.

Jo is speechless for a moment.

"Happy bread day!," Cassie says and gives Jo a hug.

"What the -?"

"Also happy birthday I guess," she says and kisses Jo quickly on the lips.

"Is that all for me?," Jo ask, still bewildered.

Cassie nods. "Yes." She kisses her again and then mumbles, "Happy Breadsday, Jo."

Jo starts laughing. In fact, she has to laugh so hard that her and Cassie, still hugging, almost tumble to the floor together.

"You're so silly," Jo says and kisses Cassie again.

"I know. And you love it."

Jo looks at her and smiles. "Yes, I do."

Cassie smiles back at her. "Now let's eat all this bread."
