Milkshake
"How do you like it, Inuyasha?"
His ears twitching, all he did was give a nonsensical little gesture as he stuck out his tongue, his eyes widening at they met hers.
Kagome couldn't suppress the giggle as she watched the hanyou scrunch his nose adorably and finally find the sense to utter a few unflattering idioms. "I told you not to drink too quickly – Now you've got brain-freeze!"
Sniffing and looking away with well-placed hair flip of nonchalance, Inuyasha had to hold back a pout. "My brain is fine, thanks." But he still couldn't help sneaking a glance as the schoolgirl leaned forward to suck at the narrow tube. They sure have a lot of weird inventions in Kagome's time...
She straightened, licking her lips to try and savour the last of the creamy foam, her dark eyes twinkled with faint laughter. "No, seriously. Did you find it too sweet? Want to try a different flavour next time? Mama ran out of ramen, but you still deserve a treat..."
He could almost smell the aftertaste of the cold mush on her lips as she blinked at him, looking distinctly puzzled – and pretty damn cute – at his lack of response. Stealing a look at the empty glass, Inuyasha was struck by a brilliant stroke of inspiration.
There had been that one time when she had been drinking what she called 'soda' too quickly and had wound up with foam all over her nose. Living up to his reputation as "that thoughtless, insensible hanyou,"all he had done was tell her to wipe it off.
Leaning forward, Kagome's face was an even better picture of confusion and a slight blush as the distance between their faces closed. "Inuyasha, what are you -" He interrupted her smoothly, her hand coming up to brush her cheek. "You have some that stuff on your nose."
She frowned her bafflement and hot hue across her cheeks only increasing. "Do I? Where? I was drinking out of a straw -"
He brought his rough tongue out in a brief, moist against her nose. Clearly startled, all Kagome could do was squeak something along the lines of, "Inuyasha – I, oh – you – Inuyasha...!" He sat back in his chair, somewhat smug.
But not at all satisfied. Of course, there hadn't been anything on her nose. He was just that good. Obviously.
Flashing her a fanged smirk that wouldn't exactly be construed by anyone as guileless, Inuyasha quieted the schoolgirl's yelps of surprise and indignation by nosing forward to press his lips against hers.
Well... She certainly didn't pull away. In fact, he could taste the ice-cream mixed with her jasmine as she responded with something that was part enthusiasm, part exasperation.
I'm really starting to like these 'milkshake' things... I wonder if she'll fall for it again?
