No one's POV

"Damn it, another swing and miss!" Lico fussed, flipping his hood off and huffing as he threw himself down on the couch. Y/n swings by the room at his little outburst, looking around to ensure it was just them both alone. 

"Uh... Lico, what happened?" They pried. 

"It's that pesky Gingerbrave... and their other crumby friends" He mumbled, arms crossed and already curled in a ball seeking comfort from his own warmth.

"Ah, another failed mission..." Y/n sighs, "Do... do you need anything?".

"No" Licorice muttered, eyes panning around the room lazily, 'I'm fine".

"You're not fine, you're making that pouty frown again" Y/n smirked, putting down the basket of clothes they were carrying 'round to come cuddle with Licorice. The couch was maybe not suitable for two, Y/n half sitting on Licorice's lap while their legs dangled off the armrest. Licorice cushioned their head against Y/n's shoulder, shyly grabbing their hands for extra support. "Is this better?" N/n looked down from Lico's hair to his eyes. Licorice brought his head up to peck a small kiss, nodding once. 

"Better" He lazily smiles.

"Come on, I won't believe it till you say it loud and proud" Y/n grins wide. Without a second for Licorice to think, they begin tickling Licorice's neck with feather-light kisses, Licorice squeaking in surprise.

"Y-Y/n!" He blurts, giggling and struggling to shove them off. "Come on, knock... it off!". Though he wanted out, that smile of his only ushered Y/n on, leaving several more kisses till Licorice was practically screaming for mercy. "You... s-stop!" he gasps, chuckles between each word, "I need air!".

"Then say what you said earlier with confidence! Tell me properly" Y/n laughs, relentless with their smooch attack. 

"Fine fine! I'll feel b-better, N/n!". Y/n finally releases Licorice, grinning ear to ear with a satisfied nod. 

"There you go! That wasn't too bad, was it?".

"You're such a brat" Lico scoffs, clearly only teasing as he glanced to the side with a grin. Y/n feigns a gasp of shock, pinching his cheek lightly before joining his giggly antics. 

"Okay, it takes one to know one, you dork" they punch Lico's arm in retaliation. He pretends to rub his arm, but secretly he loved having this sort of attention. During missions, his words and plans would just float over everyone's head (With the exception of Poison Mushroom). But Y/n always listens, and that's why he loves them. 

"You're a dork too, you doofus" He pulls them in for cuddles. His dreadlocks tickled Y/n's doughy skin, both of them nestled against each other. Once more, Y/n decided to pry about his missions.

"Do you think you can handle tomorrow's mission with your crew?".

"Hmm..." he thought out loud, "Well... no. I'm certain Pomegranate will scold me again for any minor mistake I make, and Dark Choco will stare me down again as if he wants to slice my head off. Pretty sure Poison Mushroom is the only one who can get away with anything considering they're just a kid".

"Do you want me to get you a free day?" Y/n pokes his cheek, Lico raising a brow.

"What do you mean 'get me a free day'? You mean talk to them?". Y/n nods, Licorice just about to deny, but Y/n was quicker, lifting a finger to hush him. 

"Lico, you do just about the most work in that group, and don't tell me that's not true! You play bait with Poison Mushroom far too many times, and you both really are the only ones consistently thwarting Gingerbrave's plans. Dark Choco just... stands around menacingly, and Pomegranate is full of bark, no bite. You are gonna stay home tomorrow, and I will give them a stern talking". With that, Y/n puts their hands of their hips, grinning proudly while Licorice stared at them like they were crazy.

"Yeah... that's pretty much why I date you" He told himself. Sometimes, he still couldn't believe he winged a cookie that brave yet dumb to stand against two of Dark Enchantress Cookie's henchmen. "And Red Velvet?" he reminded the still smiling cookie. 

"Oh him? It just takes a few dog-sitting days to cool his brew" Y/n chuckles, "Even though Red Velvet says he loves his cake hounds, I can see the fatigue in his eyes".

"Man... you really are too cool for me" Lico sighs, slouching as if melting down the sofa. Y/n climbs back into his lap, smothering him with kisses.

"You may be a bit of a loser, but you're my loser".
