Whoa...another one! This is dedicated to Last Anarchy, who reviewed my other Shaman King one-shots. THANK YOU!
" Ren? Ren. Ren, you like milk, right? Ren? Ren! Re-" A loud smack was heard. " Owww…"
Yoh looked reproachfully at his friend, who was reading a very thick book. He had just been slapped upside the head.
" Ren…" He began again.
" Fan ren de sha zhi." Ren mumbled, his golden eyes flickering upwards. " What?"
" What did you say about me?" Yoh's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
" I said you were an annoying idiot. Now go away." Ren snapped, turning a page in his book.
" That's not nice." Yoh pouted. Ren ignored him. " Ren…"
" What?" Ren growled, this time not bothering to look up.
" You like milk, right?" Yoh asked.
Ren didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the cup of milk on the table next to him and took a long drink.
" So that's a yes?"
Ren remained silent, but his eyebrow was twitching slightly.
" It's a yes? A yes?" Yoh persisted.
" Yes, it's a YES!" Ren shouted, trying to stop himself from strangling Yoh.
" Great! So…what do you think of chocolate milk?" Yoh questioned innocently.
" …What?" Ren blanched.
" Chocolate milk!" Yoh studied Ren's face for any sign of recognition. " You don't know what chocolate milk is?
Ren scowled. He didn't like feeling ignorant. Yoh must've seen his expression, because he leapt up hurriedly.
" Here, I'll show you!" Before Ren could stop him, Yoh grabbed Ren's cup of milk and disappeared into the kitchen.
Ren was interested in spite of himself, and set down his book, crossing his legs.
He didn't have to wait long before Yoh reappeared, triumphantly holding up the cup.
" Ta-dah!"
Ren's lip curled. " What. Is. That?"
" It's chocolate milk!" Yoh announced proudly, showing off the pale brown liquid.
" What have you done to my milk?" Ren sounded slightly scandalized.
" I put chocolate milk powder in it!" Yoh waved the cup around. " Try it!"
" No chance. That is a disgusting abomination." Ren turned his nose up at the offer.
" Come on…come on…" Yoh pouted, but Ren was unaffected. Yoh carefully set the cup somewhere where he couldn't hit it, and he dove forward.
" Yoh, what are you doing?" Ren asked, annoyed. Yoh's cheek was pressed against the strip of skin revealed by his belly top.
" I'm not letting go until you promise to try the milk." Yoh's voice was muffled by Ren's silk shirt.
" Be prepared to stay there for a long time." Ren rolled his eyes.
Yoh shifted and moved until he was sitting on Ren's lap with his face pressed to Ren's neck. " I don't mind. You're comfy."
Ren flushed. " W-what?"
Yoh's chocolate eyes peered at Ren. " You're comfy. And you smell nice."
" Yoh…are you feeling well?" Ren asked slowly, arching an eyebrow.
" Yep." With that, Yoh buried his face in Ren's shirt. Ren stared, but decided not to say anything.
Time passed, and Ren found his gaze straying. The glass of tan liquid was looking more and more tempting. Ren bit his lip, discreetly peeking at Yoh. The Japanese boy was asleep.
Ren debated in his head. He did need his milk. Heaven knows what would happen to him without it. Slowly, he lifted his arm and inched it towards the cup. He hesitated at the last moment, sneaked a look at the still sleeping Yoh…and wrapped his fingers firmly around the glass. He slowly brought it to his face, put it to his lips, gulped in anticipation and took a sip.
Ren swished the milk around in his mouth, testing the flavour. It was chocolate-y…and still milky at the same time. He swallowed and took another sip. Oddly enough…it was quite good.
" I knew you'd like it." A voice said.
Ren looked down and his eyebrow twitched. " …You were awake?"
Yoh smiled lazily and stretched. " Yep."
Ren closed his eyes and put down his cup of chocolate milk. He was twitching severely.
" Ren? Are you – "
The resounding smack was heard throughout the town.
