lady_kikyou with the prompt "ice cream on a snowy day"
It must have been the coldest day in winter so far. Even Clow's garden, usually a bubble of pleasant weather no matter what was going on outside, was grey and chilly. When he opened the door for her, Yuuko stormed into the house before even saying hello, and only after she was safely in that warm environment did she sigh with contentment and start to remove her scarf and gloves. Clow took her coat for her and placed it on the hanger next to the door, all the while grinning to himself like a little boy.
"What's so amusing?" she asked, frowning ever so slightly. He better not be making fun of her, or else. But, as it turned out, it was something completely different.
"I have a surprise for you," Clow replied. He must have seen the mistrust in her eyes, because he added the magic words after that. "In the kitchen."
"Wonderful!" she cheered, raising her arms up in the air and without even bothering to hide her enthusiasm. She didn't wait for him to reply, either, and simply made her way to the kitchen. It certainly wasn't the first time she invaded his personal sanctuary like that, and it wouldn't be the last either.
Her cheerful smile disappeared, however, as soon as she saw the two bowls placed on the kitchen table as if waiting for her arrival (which was probably the case; Clow liked to show off by reminding that she couldn't ever catch him off guard).
"You have to be kidding me," she muttered. He didn't seem too upset by her reaction.
"You can't tell me you don't like ice cream," he replied. "Everyone likes ice cream."
"It's not that," Yuuko told him, rolling her eyes. He was being dense on purpose, she just knew it. "Today isn't a day for ice cream! Haven't you even noticed the weather? Today is a day for chocolate cake and warm tea and then a glass of scotch near the fireplace."
"We can still have that glass of scotch later," said Clow, still in a ridiculously good mood. "But we can also have ice cream. It's rather good, you know. I've made it myself," he added, as if that was absolute proof that it was of good quality.
He was right about that much, of course, but Yuuko wasn't about to admit that. His ego was bad enough as it was.
"It's snowing, Clow," she sighed. "There's something just too strange about having ice cream while you watch a snowfall."
"And since when has something being 'strange' stopped us?"
Yuuko held back another sigh. She couldn't believe he was getting so philosophical about something as trivial as this.
"You really are set on this, aren't you?"
"I've made a very great effort to make it, you see."
"No, you didn't. You never make a great effort for anything. You just… do things, and they turn out well."
"I'll take that as a compliment," he replied, with the most annoying grin she'd ever seen. Yuuko just stared at him.
"I was calling you lucky, not talented."
"But you still know that ice cream is going to be really good," Clow pointed out.
"Weeell…"
"And it'd be a pity to just let it melt."
"Melt? On a day like this?" she snorted. But still, she couldn't help throwing a side look at those bowls. Those very, very tempting bowls.
Clow noticed it, of course. He always noticed things. However, he didn't point it out, not with words; he simply let that annoying smile of his grow even wider.
"Fine," Yuuko sighed, making a point of letting him see that agreeing to eat delicious ice cream was one of the greatest sacrifices she had made in her life. But only if you promise we'll have that scotch later."
"We have a deal," Clow agreed, punctuating his words with an overly formal bow.
"You're silly," she replied. Acting as if she'd won the argument, after all, was almost as good as actually winning.
