Advent Drabble 22 - Sugar

[earlgreytea68]

For anonymous

Patrick’s not sure any of them actually like coffee, given how much sugar is in the drinks that get handed out daily by whoever is the first of them to be up.

This is never Patrick, he’s never the first one awake.

Patrick remarks, “Pouring sugar packets directly into our mouth would be quicker and cheaper.”  

“It’s not about the sugar,” Pete tells him, “it’s the caffeine.”

Patrick watches him slurp up whipped cream enthusiastically. “Is it?”

Pete laughs. “Do you know how to make us fancy coffee drinks? That would be useful.”

“Should have been a barista,” Patrick muses.
