[Mouthwash] (Senru)

A/N: well. I was just looking at this blue bottle of mouthwash and POOF! I got a story idea. Enjoy!

  Sendoh was tired. Very tired. Who wouldn't be if you had been trudging around Kanagawa with your best friend looking for mouthwash?

  It wasn't that there wasn't any mouthwash to be found. His best friend was just… well, fussy. He laboriously went over past flavours in his mind: mint, coffee, chocolate, strawberry, lime, walnut, and all sorts of flavours he had never known existed until now. At this rate, he should get a job as a mouthwash expert.

  He picked up a random bottle and sniffed it. Hmm, a nice lemony, zingy smell. Interesting, but maybe a little too strong. He glanced up at the raven-haired youth who was currently engrossed in sampling a bottle labeled "cinnamon". The youth did not show a single sign of fatigue. Sendoh chuckled to himself. Who would have thought that the seemingly icy, unfeeling Shohoku ace had a fetish for mouthwash?

  Ahh. Just look at those oh-so-perfect luscious lips, that beautiful white skin… Sendoh almost drooled, but caught himself in time and reminded himself that this was his best friend. He stared at the floor as he felt a tugging ache at his heart.

How much longer can I keep this up? He wondered silently.

  Opening his eyes, he glanced around for Kaede. Spotting him in a corner of the dental corner of the dental store, he jogged over, ducking around shelves.

  He smiled at Kaede's concentration on the bottles of mouthwash. He found himself staring at Kaede's lithe form again. Especially those lips. He drew in his breath in wonder.

  The next minute, he was kissing Kaede. Their lips fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Sendoh savoured every moment. And then it was over. They pulled apart, panting slightly.

  Sendoh smiled and whispered, " Mouthwash.. a la Sendoh…"

  Kaede's eyes were closed. Suddenly they flicked open and cerulean blue met midnight blue.

  Slowly, Rukawa smiled.

  "I think I like it."

  And pulled him back for another kiss…
