Candies for me, Flowers for you! {greenbunny2468xZombie_In_A_Box}

Nick pursed his lips, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "You can't let yourself get sick! Wait here, I'll get you a sweater..." He sighed, shaking his head slightly. He just had to act like nothing happened! The blond let his arms down, fiddling his fingers a bit nervously - he did that almost all the time, there was always something he was nervous about!

 

"Yeah, I have marshmallows. You can go ahead and start, and I'll get you a sweater." Nick said firmly, almost like a mother. He liked to think of himself as the "mother friend". He always fussed around others to make sure they were comfortable and happy - and not sick. Especially Kaoru... If there was someone he would never let get hurt on his watch, it was definitely Kaoru. Hell, he cared too much about the guy...

 

With that thought in mind, the blond turned around to walk to his room. Maybe he'd grab some slippers, too.

Kaoru shook his head, his smile widening. Really, Nick was too sweet for his own good. Always mothering him and taking care of the model. It warmed Kaoru’s body in a way that had nothing to do with the fire.

 

Burying his face in his hands to hide the goofy look on his face, Kaoru took a deep breath, trying to still his rapid heartbeat. Letting out a small laugh at his own weirdness, Kaoru lowered his hands, and rotated to his knees reaching for the black poker beside the fireplace. Nick had said he could dig in.

 

Searching the area for the treat, Kaoru’s eyes fell upon the plastic bag containing the marshmallows. Letting out a triumph sound, the raven crawled over to the bag unconcerned with the way the steady swaying motion of his hips made the baggy pants slip lower on his slim frame. “Marsh~ Mallow~”

Nick hurried off to his bedroom, simply set on grabbing the warmest sweater he had to give to the other. Although it was usually warm enough in his house, baggy clothes would make it a bit chilly... Baggy clothes. Once again he was just reminded of his body's imperfections as he stopped in front of a mirror, unable to find anything that would have changed for the better since... High school, probably.

 

A sigh left his lips as he took the sweater, deciding against slippers and walked back to the living room, blood rushing back to his cheeks when he took notice of Kaoru's pose. It was almost like he was modeling... Why did he have to be so perfect? Clearing his throat to announce his presence, Nick let out a smile and tossed the sweater to the other. "There, put it on. Do you want hot chocolate... Or tea? Coffee?" He questioned, glancing at the marshmallows. He desperately wanted a few as well. Honestly, marshmallows, when made just right, were his absolute favorite thing to eat.

Kaoru’s sighed wistfully as he watched his marshmallow brown slightly before being completely engulfed in flames. Jerking the poker away from the fireplace, Kaoru blew out the flames before pulling the burnt crust off the marshmallow and eating the gooey insides right off the metal stick.

 

“Cwan’t,” the model muttered his words indistinguishable because of his vigorous chewing. “Coffee and tea stain teeth, Mau-chan’ll kill me. I’m not a big fan of hot chocolate either.” Kaoru hated things like teeth whitening, which was why to maintain his million dollar smile, Kaoru treasured dental hygiene above all else.

 

Licking the mess from his sticky fingers, Kaoru slipped on the sweater Nick had brought him before patting the space next to him by the fireplace. “Stop treating me like a guest and come here, Nick. Before I eat this whole bag.” To show he wasn’t joking about the marshmallows being in danger of extinction, Kaoru grabbed two from the plastic bag and stuck them onto the poker before thrusting them into the fireplace.

Nick huffed quietly and rolled his eyes. "Jeez, one cup won't kill you." He mumbled softly, crossing his arms. Still, the blond went to sit down as he was told, grabbing one marshmallow and the metal stick. "How the hell are you?!.. That's not how you do it." Nick exclaimed, grabbing the stick from his friend. "Don't make them light on fire, you idiot! You gotta make sure they get slightly brown, not black!" He grumbled, slowly turning the stick to have the marshmallow cook evenly.

 

"There, now try." Nick finally said, presenting the other the two perfectly cooked marshmallows. While letting the other have a taste, the man began cooking his own, watching the flames with a somewhat distant expression. Flames always managed to get him in a sort of a trance. They had him drift away somewhere even he couldn't describe. Even so, he managed to pull his marshmallow just in time. He carefully took a bite, so he wouldn't burn his tongue, letting out a soft, pleasured groan. "See? They're perfect!"

[greenbunny2468]

Chewing the marshmallow Nick offered him thoughtfully Kaoru shrugged, his nose scrunching up. “I like them better when you can pull the crust off. The insides are extra gushy.” Grabbing a new marshmallow from the bag, the model placed it in the fire throwing Nick a grin as the sweet caught aflame. “Since I tried it your way, you have to try mine.” Waiting for the marshmallow to stop burning after he pulled it from the fire, Kaoru pulled off the crust and held the sweet in front of Nick’s lips. “Taste.” He commanded softly.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Nick made a disgusted expression, shaking his head wildly. "No, no, no! You can't burn them, you throw away half of the marshmallow!" He complained loudly, shuddering visibly as the sweet caught on fire. "No..." He whined softly, an honest frown on his face. The man seemed upset! Still, he opened his mouth, taking the marshmallow in - how could he resist after Kaoru fed it to him? Moments like this were worth everything that led up to them. With a sigh, Nick swallowed the treat, pouting. "I like the roasted crust. You're weird." He muttered, taking three marshmallows and roasting them all just the way he liked them.
