Hit Me With Your Sweet Love, Steal Me With a Kiss (Marina and the Diamonds)
"Carlos? How do you do that so well?" Cecil asked exasperatedly as he paused the movie that they had been watching. Carlos just stared at him for a moment.
"Do what?"
"That," Cecil said, pointing at Carlos's mouth. "With the gum."
"Oh," he said, finally understanding what his boyfriend meant. "You mean blow bubbles?"
When Cecil nodded his head, Carlos gave a small laugh before digging in his pocket for his bubblegum. He pulled a slice from the packaging and handed it to Cecil.
"Here," he offered and Cecil took it, removing the wrapper and popping it into his mouth. He looked expectantly at Carlos.
"Chew it up until it's all soft and moldable," Carlos instructed and Cecil complied.
"Okay, now what?" Cecil asked after a minute of vigorous chewing.
"Now, what I do is kind of, um," Carlos thought of how to explain it. "I use my tongue to squish the mold against the roof of my mouth so it's flat."
Carlos opened his mouth and demonstrated. Cecil mimicked his movements.
"And then," he continued. "I moved it to the tip of my tongue, like this. Yeah, and then I use my teeth to stretch it out over my tongue—but not too hard or else it will rip! Okay, and then, I pucker my lips . . . and blow." And he did it, forming a perfect bubble before it popped and he pulled the gum back into his mouth.
Cecil attempted the final step, as he had been following Carlos the entire explanation. However, unlike Carlos's perfect bubble, Cecil's gum didn't pan out to be anything and eventually just ripped a hole in it.
"That's okay, Ceec," Carlos encouraged. "Try it again." And Cecil did. He tried to blow a bubble a few more times, but just couldn't seem to get it right.
Then, eventually, finally, Cecil blew a bubble. It wasn't very big; maybe as big as a dime. But it was enough for Cecil, who burst out cheering.
"Carlos!" he yelled even though Carlos was sitting right next to him. "Did you see?! I did it! I blew a bubble!"
"Great job, Ceec," Carlos said as he watched with a smile as Cecil begin to chew his gum rigorously again.
In the following couple minutes, Cecil blew a few more bubbles and got even more excited after each one. Until finally, Cecil announced, "It's official, Carlos. I am a bubble-blowing master. Just like you."
In order to prove his point, Cecil began the process of blowing another bubble. However, this time, when he got ready to actually blow, Cecil puckered his lips and Carlos swooped in, placing a chaste, quick kiss to his lips.
Cecil froze for a second, a blush creeping up his cheeks and covering his ears in a rosy hue. Carlos chuckled at the sight and Cecil eventually began to laugh along with him.
"You're cute when you blow bubbles," Carlos observed, making Cecil smile wider.
"You're the one that taught me," Cecil said, placing a kiss on Carlos's nose before snuggling down into his side and finishing the movie that they had been watching.
