Untimely Obligations - Cyno x f!reader
Summary: Cyno tells you a joke to cheer you up, momentarily forgetting you use any opportunity to flirt with him. That tends to make things a little more difficult for him. He needs to wrap up this investigation soon.
Genre: Fluff, humor, flirting, banter, pre-relationship, a smidge of hurt/comfort
I just wanted to see Cyno with a slightly flirty reader but still somehow show that they suited each other lol. This was the result.
"There is a substance in the world that a person can hold, but the longer he holds it, the more it disappears," Cyno tells you. "What is it?"
You sit across the table from Cyno, staring back at him while your expression remains unchanged. You don't give him an answer.
He sighs before he continues. "It's ice," he says. When you don't utter a word, he gives further explanation. "The ice melts in your hand, changing back to its liquid form."
Your eyes don't move, but he raises his brow when he notices you slightly biting your lip. Perhaps you're still confused.
"It's still water, but it cannot be called ice anymore, which is why you can claim it has disappeared."
He continues to elaborate on the joke, but when he starts getting into the nuances of properties of water, you burst out into laughter.
"I'm sorry," you tell him. "I couldn't hold it in anymore."
Oh? Was this joke successful? Cyno continues to cross his arms as you attempt to calm down from your laughter.
"I didn't want to laugh. I wanted you to keep going."
"You're just really cute when you do that," you say with a grin. "Besides, I like hearing your voice."
