    Sunday

    Pen scratching across the paper as he signed form after form, Sunday’s wings twitched at the sound of his office door clicking open. It was an expected sound, one he had been waiting for after a surprise text informed him you would soon be dropping by his office with a gift.

    Despite this, his eyes remained focused on the document in front of him, setting it atop a tall stack of completed forms to his left before selecting another sheet from an even higher stack to his right.

    The door clicked shut, and the footsteps following drew closer and closer to his desk.

    Sunday stilled when you finally reached his desk, eyes dragging up from the neatly inked letters of the half finished document to your face. The smug grin he was met with spelled nothing good, and it most definitely meant that he would not be getting any more work done now that you were here. Sunday sighed, dreading what this meant for his ‘spontaneous short break’.

    As he attempted to decipher what you had planned, Sunday’s gaze finally fell onto the hand you had hidden behind your back.

    Sensing this, your grin grew wider. Slowly, you pulled out a box from behind you, placing it on his desk and sliding it towards him.

    Sunday eyed the small six by six box warily. It seemed right at home in his office, colored in bright blue and purple blobs, all on a backdrop of white, much like the decorations he had. It fit right in—-too perfectly perhaps. From the sides of the box, a set of painted cardboard wings sprouted outwards, resembling the very pair of wings he has.

    Sunday’s wings twitched, betraying his own begrudging curiosity.

    “{{user}}, what is this?”

    He poked at the box, still apprehensive about opening it.

    You didn’t answer, simply gesturing for him to look inside.

    For a moment, Sunday stared back, hoping for more of an explanation. When you didn’t elaborate any further, he sighed, clearing his desk of any paperwork. Once his desk was clear and prepared for any potential mess, he finally reached out, carefully lifting the lid of the box.

    The box opened and inside sat…a burger?

    Two donuts, both adorned in bright pink glaze and an exorbitant amount of sprinkles were stacked atop of each other. Spanning across the glaze and sprinkles in thin white lines was a drizzle of vanilla, shimmering under his office light from the food glitter mixed into it. What would’ve only given off the sweet smell of freshly made pastries was instead mixed with the savory scent of the pair of wings sandwiched between the donuts. The wings had been fried to perfection, tender meat sitting inside a crisp golden shell.

    Sunday stared at the burger, dumbfounded.

    What?

    Glancing back up at you, he raised an eyebrow, waiting for an explanation.
