Ryuzaki (or L) stabbed a stick violently into the apple, sighing in relief when it finally sunk into the fruit and stayed secure. The bottom of the apple was littered with shallow holes and dents, left from his previous attempts at getting the stick into the fruit.
He pulled his bowl of melted caramel towards him, rolling the apple in it until it was thickly coated with the sweet substance. He plopped it down onto the tray. 'One,' he thought with exasperation as he began to poke another stick into the next apple.
He had always wanted to make these things, but he hadn't realized how hard they were to create. He didn't hear his boyfriend walk into the room, rubbing his tired eyes. Although Ryuzaki seemed excited about making caramel apples, his boyfriend, Light, on the other hand, objected to the idea of doing anything before 10:00 AM.
"What are you doing?" Light laughed as he wrapped his arms around Ryuzaki's waist, resting his forehead against his back.
"I'm making caramel apples, and I need you to help me." Ryuzaki raised the third apple from the melted caramel, a long string of the sweet dripping back down into the container. "Honestly, they're sort of hard to make."
Light raised his eyebrows at his boyfriend. "So first, you wake me up out of my amazing slumber, where I was having many pleasant dreams, then you have the nerve, the audacity, to ask for my help at your desserts that you're making at-" Light paused to glance at his watch. "5:00 in the morning?"
Ryuzaki did nothing but let out a giggle that Light couldn't help but find adorable.
When Light did nothing but cross his arms and scowl, Ryuzaki gave him a quick kiss.
"Please?" begged Ryuzaki.
Light sighed. "Anything for you, babe." He leaned over the counter and ran his finger through the caramel. Ryuzaki slapped his hand gently. "I asked you to help, not to contaminate the food!"
Light raised his eyebrows at him and sucked the caramel off of his finger with a smile. He nodded approvingly. "It's surprisingly good. How'd you do this, L?"
Ryuzaki shook his head. "I asked you to call me by my name multiple times," he said before smiling and returning to his work of stabbing an apple. "I just melted a bunch of those little candies. I don't know if that's how you do it, though."
Light kissed his boyfriend on the cheek. "It tastes good anyway."
Ryuzaki smiled, his hand moving as he tried to lean into the kiss, causing a dribble of caramel to land on the counter. "Oh no!" he laughed, wiping the mess up with his finger. "You're distracting me! Go away!"
Light raised one eyebrow with a suggestive smirk and leaned in close to Ryuzaki's ear, his voice suddenly very quiet. "You want a distraction?" He bit his boyfriend's ear seductively, and the black-haired boy shuddered in pleasure. He shook it off quickly, though, wanting to finish his treats.
"No!" he chuckled, grabbing another apple from the bowl. "I'm making food!"
"Not for long," Light whispered, running his hands along Ryuzaki's waist. Ryuzaki tried desperately to ignore his obnoxious boyfriend, and continued on making the apples. Light trailed feather-light kisses along the back of Ryuzaki's neck, effectively making him shiver.
"Stop it," he desperately whined, though he knew he was unable to resist any longer.
"Do you really want me to?" muttered Light, smirking.
Ryuzaki set down his ingredients and whipped around quickly, startling Light. He pulled Light in for a kiss, slamming his lips against his boyfriend's.
Light made a small sound of pleasure and wrapped his arms around Ryuzaki's waist, which he found terribly endearing as he opened his mouth, allowing Light's tongue to enter.
They pulled away from each other slowly, but only to catch their breath.
"Have you given up on the apples yet?" Light murmured against his boyfriend's lips, smirking.
Ryuzaki smiled and whispered, "I think I might have. Remind me again why I did."
Light eagerly did so, kissing him once more.
