Blood Orange tea

It was a calm day on island three. Fraise was serving tea and pastries to the customers as usual with her friends Cuphead and Mugman in their usual spot in the shop, just goofing off but not causing too much trouble for the business. “Here you go Ludwig, your oolong tea with Macarons.” she said as Ludwig set down his newspaper. “Thank you Fraise, I will make sure to enjoy it.” he said as he started to sip the tea. Fraise nodded as she walked over to Cuphead and Mugman, just when they started to get a bit out of hand. “With a tray on one hand and her free hand on her hip all she had to do was give them a look. “Sorry berry,” Mugman said as he let Cuphead’s bandanna go, making him fall out of his seat as he started to brush down his zip-up sweater. “What was the argument this time?” she asked casually as she took their empty cups away.

“It was a bet we made, whoever could lift the most bags of corn would get fifty coins!” Cuphead said as he got up from the floor and sat back in his seat. “And who won?” She asked as she walked to the counter to put the dirty dishes into the sink behind the counter. “I did!” Cuphead said as he jabbed his thumb into his chest. “I lifted up ten bags but mac said I lost.” He said, making Fraise laugh as she walked over with some pastries and set them down in front of the two. “That is what Mac said but of course cup’s wanted to fight it.” Mugman said as he quickly snatched his plate away from Cuphead’s fork. Cuphead just smirked as he sat back and started to eat his pie. “Well maybe i can help ya with that, i have crates that need to be brought in later in the week, who ever can help me get them in the fastest. without breaking anything!” she said as she gave the two a bit of a playful glare, making them both just grin sheepishly.

“Then we will see who is the strongest.” She said as she turned away to help other customers. Behind the two making mini bets already, it just made her laugh a bit till she heard the bell go off signaling that someone walked in. she turned to who walked in with a smile “Welcome to the str-” but the smile quickly soured. “Oh it’s you…” she said with a sneer.

The one who walked in was a Vampire type toon, she was taller than Fraise by a foot, she had an hourglass figure and always wore a classy lavender colored open back dress. “Hello berry~” she said in a sing-song voice. “Don’t call me that” Fraise said only to have Fleur wave her off as she walked over to an empty table and sat down at it. “But why?” she asked as she smirked at Fraise. “It’s a cute nickname for you.” she said as Fraise walked over and with a bit too much force she slammed her hand onto the table, making Cuphead and Mugman jump at the sound and for them to look over. “You know why.” Fraise said with a snarl. But Fleur didn’t back down with a fanged grin. “Because that was the nickname ‘he’ would call you?” Fleur said, making Fraise grit her teeth in anger. “What kind of tea would you like?” she asked, trying to make herself become calm again. “Hmm…” Fleur leaned back in her seat, crossing one leg over the other in the process. “I would like… some blood orange tea, you would have that wont you?” she asked with a bit of a taunt only making Fraise glare at her but with a tentative smile Fraise nodded. “Blood orange tea, coming right up and I’m sure you would want some garlic bread with it?” She asked only to make Fleur laugh, at the laugh Cuphead and mugman cound;t help but hide behind their table, they could tell that laugh held nothing but an underlying anger and insult at the suggestion. “No darling, you know what that does to me.” She said as she leaned forward on her hands and glared at her. “Oh! How could I forget?” Fraise asked with a fake look of surprise. But she grabbed her tray in what could be a death grip as she walked over to where her tea pots are and started to make some Blood orange tea. Fleur watched her for a bit before she noticed Cuphead and Mugman from the corner of her eye, with a smirk she got up and walked over to the two. “Hello boys~” she said with a silky tone in her voice, making Cuphead and Mugman’s sense of danger go off as soon as she walked over, but they were still polite as they sat back in their seats. “Um.. hello miss.” Mugman said only for Fleur to lean into him making him stiffen up. “What’s your name?” she asked with a teasing tone making Mugman scoot back from her in his seat.  Seeing this she can’t help but laugh a bit as she turned her attention to Cuphead who did the same. “Aww, shy?” she teased as she leaned back from the two. Mugman and Cuphead looked at one another a bit before swallowing down their nerves. “I’m cuphead, and He’s Mugman” he said as he gestured to Mugman. “Cuphead and Mugman, cute names for cute toons~” she teased, making both of them blush to the point they start to bubble. “W-well thank y-” But mugman was quickly cut off as a tray was somewhat slammed in front of Fleur. "Your tea, miss.” Fraise snarled only to have Fleur look up at her with a grin. Sensing the tension between the two the Cupbrothers slowly sank down to try and not get caught in whatever crossfire that may happen with the two. The tension was thick in the air between the two as they glared at one another, but soon Fleur just started to laugh as she got up, making sure to get into Fraise’s face. “You know that you won’t be able to keep them safe, and you know why.” She said as he walked around Fraise and headed towards the door but stopped to look back at Cuphead and Mugman, with a smirk she blew a kiss at them but thankfully the two ducked just in time for the kiss to go splat against the wall behind them.

Fraise was steamed for the rest of the day as she worked, but she did her best to calm it down but only time she was able to calm down was when Cuphead and Mugman pulled her into the back of the shop to give her a well needed hug. 

As the two hugged her Fraise thought that she would tell the two about Fleur later, right now she just needed their hugs.
