Inspired by a picture I saw on Pixiv. I thought about expanding on this, but like it how it is. (Word told me this was 100 words, FFN is saying 104. I'm going by Word, because I'm not changing it now)

Disclaimer: Aster and Richter belong to Namco-Bandai, not me. I make no profit from this work, and do it only to show my love of the characters.


Aster liked tea. Cinnamon tea was his favorite; he loved the way it smelled. It reminded him of Richter, really. He'd always thought the half-elf smelled of cinnamon, and he couldn't help but think of the older man when he drank his tea. Idly, he wondered if Richter tasted the way he smelled. Curiosity got the better of him, so he set his cup down and leaned over and licked the redhead's cheek.

The half-elf just sighed wearily, an annoyed look on his face. "What are you doing, Aster?"

"Just wondered if you tasted like cinnamon."

"Do I?"

"Nope, better."
