Having temporary recovery from this great block I'm having now, so gotta get this down quick.

I don't know if Zinc powder really glints, so just let it be, okay?


Kaidoh Kaoru had been studying the contents in the mug for too long.
There seem to be yellowish thread like things floating, wriggling about.

Inui Sadaharu looked up from his notebook and found that Kaidoh hadn't taken a sip.
"This juice full of fibre. You'll need lots of them to aid the removal of wastes from your body."

Kaidoh raised his arms, to look at the bottom of and around the glass.
The color is uniformly murky green, swampy green, yucky green, green.

Inui scribbled something into his notebook.
"It's mainly made of spinach juice. Spinach is high in iron."

Kaidoh narrowed his eyes and peered closer, confirming that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
Something is glistening. Sparkling amidst the dark, unappetising green.

Inui closed his notebook and kept it away before walking towards Kaidoh.
"I've added powdered Zinc. That helps your body to better absorb Vitamin C."

Kaidoh's eyes widen with surprise.
Did some bubbles just ... just blobbed from the bottom?!

Inui took his turn to peer into the glass mug.
"Ah! Some air must have been trapped at the bottom when I poured the juice."

Kaidoh raised his head to look at Inui, questionably.
Do I have to drink this?

Inui returned Kaidoh's look with a coaxing smile.
"Drink it up! The nutrients will be gone after prolonged exposure to air. The taste will turn bad with oxidisation."

Kaidoh's expression changed, just slightly, barely noticeable. He then lowered his head unable to look at Inui.
I don't want to. But he had formulated this especially for me ...

Inui bended forward and turned his head upwards to see Kaidoh's face.
"Why aren't you drinking?"

Kaidoh turned his face, for Inui had suddenly gotten too near.
Think I might die after drinking this. I don't want to die before I could ...

Inui straighten up, heaving a little sigh and took the glass.
"Guess there is only one way to make you drink this."

Kaidoh took a while to realise that Inui was gulping the contents.
He's drinking it ... for me?

Inui snaked an arm around Kaidoh's neck, pulled him closer and sealed his lips. His other arm, still holding the glass, closed around Kaidoh's waist from behind.

What is Inui senpai doing?!

Kaidoh was close to choking when cool liquid started to flood though his lips. His fingers grabbed the sleeves of Inui's shirt in his attempt to stop himself from getting choked.

The juice is ...

Inui had finished nursing the mouthful. Releasing Kaidoh, he spotted some juice stains trailing from the corner of Kaidoh's mouth. Not wanting to waste any, he cleaned the stains with his tongue.

"Sweet. Don't you think, Kaidoh? I've also added red apple juice and honey."


~End~

p.s.
Did you notice that Kaidoh hadn't spoken a word?

p.p.s.
This spinach + red apple + honey juice really does tastes sweet. I've tried it before, it doesn't taste too bad and it's really green.
