Chapter Eleven: Sharing Is Caring ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, Slit!"
It wasn't uncommon to hear the shout of the Lancer's name on his Driver's lips as he surged through corridors and open space alike, excitement bubbling in his every atom. He zinged about like a madman in search of his favorite War Boy, all wild blue eyes and waving arms.
"Slit!" he called again, cupping his hands around his mouth like a speakerphone, "Slit! I found something!" More heads turned his way as he passed them by without notice, but as soon as they saw the glowering mass of muscle heading for his Driver, they parted like the red sea.
"What do you think you're doing, Numb Nuts? Huh? Telling everyone?" His eyes narrowed even more, and Nux suddenly realized that maybe Slit wasn't named that for his scars, or his cheeks, but for how his eyes looked when he was thoroughly pissed.
"I… I was just trying to tell you! I found a-" A hand promptly clamped over his mouth, the next few words garbled before he finally closed his mouth and sighed, those dejected puppy dog eyes softening the elder man's expression to more of a fierce sneer than a full-on snarl of rage.
"Tell me in our bunk, Nuts." With that, the larger male pushed past his Driver, nearly knocking him (and his find) over with the force of it. Not even a second passed before he had turned and bolted off after the strutting man before him, excited to show off the object wrapped up in cloth in his hands. Jogging along in the jaunty way he did, he reminded a few older Boys of dogs running at their masters' heels, but none would risk saying so in front of Slit, especially when he looked about ready to chew some heads off.
"Slit, can I-"
"Bunks, Numb Nuts." Snarled the elder once more, those eyes nearly closed they were squinted so hard. Of course, the growl on his lips was hardly enough to shake his happy pet, who ran to their bunk and leapt onto it, scooting back to the rocky ledge behind it and grinning, allowing Slit as much room as he wanted. The elder slid in, cool and calm despite the, no doubt, roiling lake of rage hiding behind his dark aquamarine eyes.
"Slit," now, despite himself, he was whispering, eyes focused and so intense that it nearly took the cool edge off of the elder man, "I found this really shiny fruit."
Pulling it from its cloth confines, the deep green fruit nearly shimmered in the light, certainly from one of the deeper pools hiding within the catacombs of the Citadel. When only one was showed off, however, the elder's frown deepened and his brow furrowed.
"Just one?"
"Yeah! You can have half!" Nux wasn't above sharing, and anything that could make Slit happy with him was worth it. This seemed to make his partner smirk, and he rolled his eyes before leaning forward and taking a bite, long and slow, some of the juice dripping down his chin and onto their bed. Some stray drops made it to Nux's hand, only to be licked off by a skillful tongue, leaving him gulping as he leaned in to take his own bite.
"Mm… You're making a mess, there, Nuts." Whispered the elder, leaning in to lick the stray droplets from the other's chin and lips, capturing them in a soul-searing kiss.
He'd have to find more of these fruits, if this was what he'd get out of them.
