Rave's prompt: Milk
Randomly selected pairing: Daijyou

Notes: I almost got carried away and made this one longer-than-drabble length.
Jyou often finds himself wondering whether Daisuke lives in the same dimension as everybody else. Not because he acts in a particularly weird way (although that certainly can't be denied), but because he has a tendency to, seemingly out of the blue, come up with the most farfetched yet strangely logical ideas that Jyou has ever heard. And that's really saying something, considering that he spent the most memorable period of his life surrounded constantly by the likes of Taichi and Mimi. Even Sora, the only voice of reason besides himself, had surprised him a few times with warped theories of her own.
But Daisuke… the things he comes up with usually sound so mad that they just might be plausible.
This time, however, Jyou is at a complete and utter loss. He raises his eyebrows at the boy in his lap and, sifting his fingers gently through his hair, asks how he came to the conclusion that Koushiro was the first person to ever drink milk.
Daisuke seems to have difficulty recalling his train of thought, so Jyou waits patiently through the mumblings about cavemen and cows until his boyfriend snaps his fingers. He says that he's been thinking a lot (which Jyou finds a little worrying in itself; he gets sharply elbowed in the ribs for that comment) about what could have made someone want to squeeze the dangly things on a cow's belly and drink what came out. He's been thinking that no one could have been that stupid, but then he realised that it wasn't stupidity that provoked the person to do it; it was curiosity. And Koushiro is the most curious person they know.
When Jyou points out that milk has been around for longer than Koushiro has, Daisuke replies that he must have done it in one of his past lives, as a Roman or a mammoth or something.
Then he sits up so quickly that he nearly cracks his head on Jyou's chin, exclaiming that that means the chicken came before the egg. Jyou blinks, now not entirely sure that they've both been talking about the same thing. But, Daisuke explains, it makes so much sense. Koushiro must have been a chicken in one of his past lives too, and discovered that eggs were edible. Because someone must have decided to eat the next thing that came out of a chicken's rear end, and who better to do that than the chicken itself?
Jyou, whose mind is still reeling with the sudden change in topic, isn't quite sure how all this ties together. But by the time he's caught up, Daisuke has already finished his point and is lying back down, so he lets it go. He knows better than to pursue a point like that, but he's definitely going to mention it to Koushiro.
