Ok so I was eating some strawberry shortcake stuff and I had this marvelous idea: Mark and Roger sharing dessert! Mmm yummy. Oh by the way, I was thinking of these neat little shortcake cups that you put the strawberries in and then it's all yummy and stuff… yeah. :D Mark & Roger are in an established relationship.

Roger looks up from his guitar as Mark opens the loft door. He had gone out earlier for groceries, and now he was back, much to Roger's delight.

"Hey Marky. What wondrous food did you get this time? More ramen and Captain Crunch?" Mark knows he's only teasing.

He merely smiles and walks into the kitchen with the grocery bags. Roger stands up, curious now. He sits down on the table and watches Mark put things away.

"Well, Roger- since you've been such a good boy lately, I decided to get you a special treat!" He pulls a container out of the bag. "Strawberries!" Then a box is brought out. "Shortcake!" And the last item… "Whipped cream."

Roger is up in half a second and at the counter, opening the container of strawberries. It's all of his favorite dessert stuff. How does Mark figure these things out?

"Mmm Mark, this looks absolutely delicious!" he pulls Mark into a hug. "But… how could you afford all of this?"

Mark blushes. "Er… Angel decided to ambush me as I was going past Mimi's, ask me how things were going, walk me to the store… and then she bought all of our groceries." Roger laughs.

"Well that's okay then. As long as you aren't becoming a street whore to pay for food, I'm fine." They laugh together and then Roger opens the package with the small pieces of shortcake, putting one into a bowl for both Mark and himself. He starts fixing the strawberries, and Mark opens the whipped cream.

In about two minutes they are sitting on the couch, happily eating their snack together. Roger makes a point to go "Mmm" after every bite, and lick all of the whipped cream off of his spoon and the bowl. Mark watches him and laughs.

"You like it that much?"

"Marky, I adore dessert. Especially whipped cream. It's so sweet…"

"We have some left over, you know." Mark grins deviously.

"Hmmm when do I get to eat it? We're out of strawberries, though." Roger says, totally innocent.

Mark looks at him, noticing his choice of pronouns. "Rog?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Don't I get some too? That's not very nice, keeping it all for yourself." Mark pouts, leaning back against the arm of the couch. Roger laughs again and leans forward, kissing Mark on the forehead.

"Of course you do. And I'm sure we'll both love it."

The Next Day

Mark curses as he tries to do laundry in the bathtub. He tosses the sheets from Roger's bed into the soapy water, attempting to rinse whipped cream off of the blankets. Roger just stands in the doorway, watching and laughing.


Teehee Mark and Roger had 'fun' with the whipped cream, huh? XD Yeah. Well, that was great. Random silly things I think of late at night. :P
