Title: Fruity Fun
Drabble: #23
TK's prompt: Watermelon
Randomly selected pairing: Taiori
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Notes: It's a tiny bit suggestive because otherwise I find Iori to be quite a boring character to write. And I hope watermelons do have juice.
Taichi has got the largest and most insatiable appetite Iori has ever come across. He simply cannot get his head around how Taichi can just keep eating for such a long time without either getting full or exploding. In all honesty, Iori's not entirely sure which would come first anyway.
What makes it even worse is that Taichi has a funny way of eating when he's alone with Iori. Iori can't tell whether he does it on purpose or not, but he's seriously considering asking soon; it bothers him that much. And not in a completely bad way, either. Iori can't explain it, but it happens more often when Taichi's eating sweets or fruit.
Only yesterday Taichi had an ice lolly, and Iori could not for the life of him tear his eyes away. There was something very… alluring about the way Taichi's lips slid over the coloured ice and came away pouting and stained, but Iori couldn't put his finger on what it was. All he knew was that it wasn't an unpleasant feeling, and that in itself was quite unnerving.
Today, it's a watermelon that Taichi's eating, and Iori's finding it just as difficult, if not more, to concentrate on practicing his kendo. His eyes keep drifting in his older boyfriend's direction, who's sitting quite happily in front of the TV with his watermelon. Because he's eating it slowly, the juice is dripping down his fingers and he makes quite a show of being annoyed at having to lick it off all the time.
Iori is so distracted by Taichi's tongue that he very nearly knocks over a nearby lamp, and Taichi turns to him with confusion written all over his face and one of his fingers still in his mouth.
Gulping and feeling himself beginning to go a bit red, Iori tells him it's ok and is relieved when Taichi turns back to the TV without making a fuss. Unfortunately, he then starts licking the watermelon, slowly and carefully, until Iori can't stand it anymore and quickly excuses himself before rushing to the bathroom.
Once inside he leans his head back and tries to calm down, wondering what the matter with him is. He misses Taichi's satisfied smirk, and doesn't see him put the watermelon back on the plate.
