Title: Cocoa
Author: alittleoddish
Characters: Alice, Hatter
Genre: Drabble
Word count: 200
Summary: Alice tries to break Hatter out of his "rut".
Hatter had never led a ‘normal’ life, not even by Wonderland standards. He considered himself to be a man of action, a man who lived dangerously. So when Alice said one cold, November evening, “Let’s try something new,” his ears perked up in interest.
“Oh really?” he asked, intrigued.
“I’m going to break you out of your rut,” Alice said, gesturing to all the tea things on the table and getting up off the couch. “Do they have cocoa in Wonderland? Hot chocolate?”
Hatter put on his most affronted expression. “Excuse me,” he said defensively, getting up to follow her. “Tea is not a rut.”
Alice hummed in a distracted sort of way, searching for two clean mugs. “So you’ve never had it, then?”
“I don’t need cocoa, I have tea.” Hatter said, his voice clearly indicating some frustration that Alice didn’t understand this concept. “Why would you have a need for one over the other?”
“What if… you run out of tea?” Alice asked, eyebrows raised in challenge. Hatter snickered and patted her on the head (something he knew she hated), turning around and heading back to the couch. Hatter considered himself an adventurous man, but this conversation was just ridiculous.
