Shiraishi Kuranosuke/Oshitari Kenya

Prompt: Ice cream

Title: Chocolate is Better


Kenya was there first, of course. How could he not be there first? He was Naniwa's Speed Star. As he waited, he slid his iPod out of his pocket and listened to some peppy music and checked the time. Oops, he was actually a couple minutes early, but that didn't matter much. Knowing Shiraishi, he'd be at the ice cream shop a minute or two early to make sure that his date wasn't waiting too long. Actually, as Kenya glanced up, wasn't that Shiraishi right there? He squinted to make sure, but there was no mistaking that confident stride and blonde hair out of the mass of dark haired people. As he called out a greeting, he put his iPod away again and walked over to the captain.

"Hey Kenya, I guess you beat me again. I'll have to come ten minutes early to make sure you don't beat me," Shiraishi joked. "Let's go inside and get our ice cream."

Kenya almost stuck out his tongue hearing Shiraishi's remark, but instead smiled and walked with him. Ice cream was ice cream, and there wasn't anything better in life than an ice cream date. After ordering, the pair walked out and to the park to enjoy the frosty treat and talk. Eventually, they engrossed themselves in an argument of the better flavor between chocolate and vanilla. Kenya didn't even notice that some of the chocolate ice cream he had been enjoying was melting down his cone and onto his fingers. Shiraishi, on the other hand, did. With a slight smirk, he leaned down to Kenya's hand and slowly licked his way up to the cone again.

Still wearing that goddamn smirk, his only response to Kenya's sputtering was, "You know, chocolate might be better after all."
