Don't you know man? Chocolate kills us.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

In that case, I better get white.

Caramel or truffles?

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Dude, that doesn't count as chocolate and you know it.

Truffles.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

Exactly. I'd like to have a living boyfriend, thanks.

Truffles it is. And I grabbed the steaks, I'll be there in twenty minutes or so.

[grimmopedia]

Really? I guess I'll have to start taking better care of myself then. Maybe start doing Pilates or something.

I'll start up the grill.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

Pilates, huh? What about yoga?

You're the best, man. There's still some mesquite chips leftover from the barbecue.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Then I'd have to go out and buy the pants.

Of course man, you'd kill me if I used sub-par wood chips.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

Just putting it out on the table now that I'd be really okay with you doing pantsless yoga.

Not kill, that'd interfere with the whole living boyfriend thing. Just maybe punish a little.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Somehow I figured you had ulterior motive for suggesting yoga.

Oh right, I forgot that was important. See I told you I was worse at this sort of thing.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

And I thought I was the detective. (but also, really okay with it. just want to make that clear.)

You say that now, but I'll check back in with you later. But more importantly - you better not forget that's important.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

I'd be a little offended if you weren't.

I'll make a note.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

Does that mean pantsless yoga is going to be a thing?

Good boy.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Of course man. I've got to do something while you're at work.

You can't tell but I'm glaring at you right now.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

That's cruel and unusual, man.

I don't have to be there to picture it.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Good thing I've got nothing to do with the justice system.

Good.

[text]

[detectivetroll]

Well, you did just have something to do with cockblocking yourself.

But, I did just get here.

[text]

[grimmopedia]

Wait, what?

[detectivetroll]

[Since he's at the house, Nick doesn't bother texting back. He just lets himself in and heads to the backyard, coming up behind Monroe and pressing a kiss to his shoulder in greeting.]

I tell you I want pantsless yoga to be a thing, and you say you're only going to do it when I'm not around? Totally cockblocking yourself, man.

[Action]

[grimmopedia]

[Monroe can hear and smell Nick coming so Nick coming up behind him is no surprise. After Nick kisses his shoulder Monroe turns and gives Nick a proper welcome.]

I can go do pantsless yoga right now.

[Action]

[detectivetroll]

[See, what did Nick tell him about those eventually being useful? Not to mention that Monroe can probably tell that Nick is pretty interested in that pantsless yoga offer.]

Really? Cause I'm all for that, don't go breaking my heart here.

[It's obviously teasing, said in an almost sing-song voice reminiscent of the song. But that reminds him of something, and he reaches into one of the shopping bags to pull out a heart-shaped box of chocolates, offering it to Monroe.]

Speaking of hearts, here. I, uh, got you this.

[Action]

[grimmopedia]

[Yeah yeah yeah Nick is right. Is Nick happy?]

Dude, really?

[Monroe's mocking is ruined slightly by the grin he's currently sporting. But then there's a heart shaped box in front of him. Which is confusing. Monroe has to think back. They aren't having an anniversary are they? Monroe takes it.]

Thanks? Uh, am I forgetting something? Because I didn't-

[Action]

[detectivetroll]

[Nick is very happy, man. And he's grinning widely, too.]

Yeah, really. Did it work?

[No, their anniversary isn't for a week or two, but don't worry. Nick's got something planned for that.]

You're welcome. And no - well, yes, technically, but we both forgot it. It was Sweetest Day Saturday. I've never celebrated it before because it's not really a thing back on the west coast, but these were half price and I thought of you, so I figured why not?

[Action]

[grimmopedia]

[Well at least Nick has a nice smile. That make it a little better. But only a little.]

No.

[Actually it did but he's not going to admit it. He'll just not bother to hid that it worked at all. And wait they have an anniversary? Since when?]

Half priced? Sweetest Day?

[Oh crap they do that stupid holiday here. All he ever remembers it as another time of the year where people rub his being single in his face. And the one year he wasn't single he forgot about it. Damn it.]

Shit. Man I'm sorry. I'm not used to celebrating that. I'll- I can make us dinner. Accept we're already doing that. I'll make us dinner some other time. Next day you have off.

[Action]

[detectivetroll]

Liar.

[He's teasing, but yeah, he can tell that Monroe's just not admitting it. And they have an anniversary since they started dating?]

...uh. Yeah, I probably should have left out the half priced part, shouldn't I?

[But then he grins a little at Monroe's rambling, and leans in to kiss him.]

I'm not used to celebrating it either, it's cool. Let's have dinner, and we can go upstairs and do some real celebrating. Then tomorrow you can make it up to me by putting up with me running something work-related by you.

[And by work-related, he means a potentially dangerous plan that probably won't go over so well, but for the moment, he doesn't want to go into it, so he keeps everything light-hearted.]

[Action]

[grimmopedia]

[Monroe just grins back. Yeah he knows. And he's still good with naked yoga. Oh right. Yeah that would make sense.]

You think?

[Monroe is good with kissing. Even after Nick's whole half priced fiasco.]

We could always skip dinner.

[Except he won't because by now he knows Nick needs to eat. Damn it. So Monroe makes him dinner, pour the wine, and shares his half price chocolates. Which pretty much makes them even cheaper. Way to go Nick.]
