Rick couldn't help but preen as he walked back from the corner shop. He had bought one of those cute necklaces made entirely of candy - everyone was wearing them on campus, thus making them the height of fashion. He was sure even his beloved Cliff was wearing one right this minute!

And the best part was instead of waiting for that stupid hippy to cook them something with lentils for supper he could just nibble on the necklace whenever he felt peckish.

Making a dramatic entrance into the flat he kept his head held high, in-case any visiting female friends of Mike saw him and were amazed by his sexiness and coolness. The only witness, as it turned out, was Vyvyan - sitting on the couch looking sober and very bored. Never a good combination!

"Hey Prick - what's that poofy thing around your neck? Thought only girls wore necklaces!"

"God Vyvyan you're so stupid! It's candy jewellery - and it isn't poofy cos I'm wearing one and I'm not a poof!"

"Look's like something poofy that a virgin would wear!" screeched back Vyvyan, suddenly less bored and more in the mood to antagonize Rick completely.

His expression suddenly changed as they both heard a faint rumbling from his stomach.

"Is it really candy? Then give it here, I'm starving!"

With that Vyvyan jumped off the couch and ran at the Peoples Poet. Rick turned on his heals and dashed up the stairs, determined to get to the safety of his room before Vyv handed out yet another beating. But Vyv was right behind him and somehow they both crashed onto Rick's bed in a mess of limbs, teeth and angry threats. Vyv ended up stretched on top of Rick and changed tactic, deciding to simply eat the necklace off his flatmate.

As soon as his teeth connected with the necklace and the skin underneath it Rick froze. Heat flamed at the point of contact and spread throughout his body, along with a healthy dose of confusion. No one had touched his neck like that before and it hypnotized him into complete submission. Vyv continued to work his way down the necklace, heading slowly for Rick's Adam's apple - the gentle pressure of the bites and the hot breath on his neck caused Rick to become completely aroused and, with eyes closed and head tilted to one side he whispered

"Oh Vyvyan..."

His voice broke the spell. Vyvyan slowly raised his head up and they stared at each other in silence, their lower bodies still pressed together which gave every proof how turned on they were.

Suddenly Vyvyan lunged down and kissed Rick so hard he drew blood. Then, without a word, he stood up and stormed out of the bedroom leaving the poet alone and aroused in the darkness.
