Cherish me more
Hugging a stuffed penguin doll, playing with its chubby wings, D hummed to himself on the backseat as Vesca drove them back to their rented apartment.
"This was a rather weird show of care," D whispered, kissing the penguin. "Since the zoo incident, you don't take me out anymore…" he pouted cutely.
"Well, you nearly kidnapped the penguins there, you freak!" Vesca growled, looking over the mirror at D's mischievous violet eyes. "I wish you'd stop with that obsession with them…" Sensing the dreaded nickname about to be spewed, almost as if he could see it traveling up D's throat, he added: "Don't call me 'penguin' either. Just stop it."
"Why buy me a penguin doll, then?" D threw back at him, smirking. "And why abstain from being kind to me, too?" Now, that one had held some bit of true hurt and pain… "You could have taken me out for dinner," half a flirt, half a complaint.
Vesca frowned. "Just so you know, tears will get you nowhere." He was learning to read the guy, slowly but quite surely. "And, I will admit it, I hadn't thought of that," he muttered, coughing uncomfortably. "Sorry."
"I hope you'll be doing better next time," D cheerfully replied, hugging the penguin doll tighter. "Or I might vanish again…" his eyes, though, said he was just trying to scare him into complying to his every wish.
"Needn't menacing, just inspiration." He exhaustedly sighed: "But you stop with the penguins."
"You're so cruel!" D whimpered.
"Won't think that at home, I assure you."
"Ooohh." The other's eyes were alighted with interest, and he leant forward a little bit to purr in Vesca's hear: "And why would that be? Plans for fun and mischief tonight I haven't yet heard of?"
"Perhaps. It's a surprise, though."
