Dipping a free hand into the marshmallow goop, Muraki swirled his hand around in it for a bit before pulling it out and rubbing across Touga's chest. Touga smiled, continuing with the chocolate on Muraki's chest.
"You're quite good at this, for a beginner," said Touga, taking his hand away from Muraki's chest and studying his handiwork.
"You're not so bad yourself," Muraki commented, working the marshmallow goo into interesting cloud-like patterns.
Deep as you go, I'll follow
Deep as the water goes
All the world is hollow and dry
But you and I go down
You and I go down
Touga and Muraki looked around, searching for the source of the sudden music. Unable to find it, they shrugged and looked at each other.
"Shall we have a taste test?" suggested Muraki, gesturing to his chest.
"That would be most fun," Touga replied, moving in towards Muraki. He, fell to his knees, pulled the white-haired man's chest down to his face, and let his tongue wander out of his mouth and onto the chocolate covered skin.
Far as you want to take me
Far as your eyes can see
Leave the world alone in the sky
You and I go free
You and I are free
Touga looked up, again looking for the source of the music. He grumbled in annoyance.
"Aren't you going to continue?" pouted Muraki.
"Uh, hai, hai…" said Touga, shaking his head and going on with his actions. Muraki moaned as Touga licked some chocolate off of his nipple. Touga smiled, knowing he had found something very pleasurable for Muraki. His tongue moved over, licking off the chocolate of the other nipple, and staying there to tease it for a moment.
Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down
The two men ignored the music this time, deciding mentally that they wouldn't let it bother them anymore. Touga took a finger, and swirled it around in the chocolate. The pattern he made soon began to resemble the one on the Rose Seal (which he was still wearing… go figure…) if the Rose Seal were drippy and bent out of shape. Muraki couldn't help but giggle, since Touga's finger was tickling him.
Promise to take me with you
Promise to let me go
All the world is waiting to see
As you and I go down
You and I are free
Sucking the chocolate off his finger, Touga went back to licking the chocolate off Muraki's chest, going along the outside of the Rose Seal design with his tongue. Muraki was moaning and giggling at the same time, for while it was a 'moan-worthily' pleasurable experience, he was also 'giggle-worthily' ticklish.
When all the chocolate was gone, Touga burped. Muraki laughed heartily.
"I had no idea such a refined person could belch!"
"You try being an upperclassman without burping any of the time. I have to let one or two go every now and then."
Muraki just continued to laugh.
"Maybe I should get to those marshmallows."
Touga and Muraki gladly swapped positions.
Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Instead of licking, like Touga had done, Muraki place his lips on the marshmallowy ooze and began sucking. Taken by surprise, Touga tried to stifle a moan, but was quite unsuccessful. Smirking at his first victory, Muraki continued, kissing his way through the marshmallow guts, Touga purring all the way.
I wanna be completed
I wanna disappear
I wanna be uncovered
Take me down
Take me down
Let me drown
Feeling somewhat unsatisfied with just the marshmallow sitting on Touga's chest, Muraki moved away, searching for something near the plates.
"Muraki, what are you looking for?"
"Just a minute."
"Well, could you hurry? This marshmallow is starting to drip down…"
Turning around, Muraki could see that the white stuff was indeed falling down Touga's chest and down to… Muraki blushed, naughty thoughts entering his head. Quickly, he grabbed his prize and settled back into position.
Somehow I need to love you
More than I need to breathe
I can feel you leaving the ground
I will follow you down
You and I will drown
Muraki took the graham crackers he had gathered and crushed them in his hands.
"Lay down on your back," said Muraki, in a commanding tone. Touga all to gladly complied. Muraki held the crushed crackers over Touga's chest and let them fall onto the marshmallow, making a very artistic (and tasty-looking!) effect.
Bending over Touga, Muraki lowered his mouth, and flicked his tongue in and out repeatedly, catching both marshmallow and cracker crumbs at the same time. Touga breathed slowly, taking in the feeling of it all.
Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Before Muraki could finish off the last section of the mix, Touga pulled him down, causing their fronts to contact. Touga captured Muraki's lips in a s'more flavored kiss, which Muraki returned more than willingly.
When the two pulled apart, Muraki came away with some of the marshmallow and graham cracker on his chest.
"Oh, you got all messy because of me! Let me help you with that!" said Touga, leaning forward.
Muraki's mind went *ZING* at that.
Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down
Take me down

Later, when they have their clothes back on…
******
"That was… sweet!" panted Muraki, flopping down on the ground next to the dying fire.
"In more ways than one," Touga agreed, laying down next to Muraki.
"I only have one question though."
"Hm?"
"Where did that music come from?"
"Beats me."
"It didn't even seem to fully fit the situation, did it?"
"Not entirely, no. "
"Where did it come from, though…?"
"Do you suppose one of the authors is responsible?"
"Maybe…"
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound heard from above. Touga and Muraki looked at each other, nodded, and began climbing up a tall tree. Soon, Touga's head hit something invisible.
"Ow!"
"What did you hit?"
"The fourth wall, I think."
The cracking noise became a violent shuddering, and the fourth wall broke, revealing the faces of two girls, Dai and Amanda. They both sweatdropped as their puppets stared up at them.
"Okay, which one of you is responsible for the music?" asked Touga, eyeing Amanda first.
Amanda shook her head, pointing at Dai. Muraki looked up at Dai, whose sweatdrop grew.
"Okay, so I have October Project on the brain. So what?" said Dai. Touga and Muraki breathed out mushroom clouds. Then Dai cleared her throat and yelled, "GET BACK DOWN THERE AND ACT LIKE GOOD LITTLE BORROWED CHARACTERS!!!!"
Quickly, Touga and Muraki shimmied back down the tree. When they looked up, they saw Dai frantically holding pieces of the fourth wall together with her hands, waiting for Amanda to help her.

In another part of Ohtori, no bongo drums played, but two shadowy figures were still seen on a rose patterned wall.
Shadow Play Girls A-ko and B-ko were laying on the ground naked, their shadowy clothes strewn about. A-ko lay on top of B-ko, her head in B-ko's breasts. The two looked up, screamed and scrambled to get their clothes on.
"What's the big idea, coming to our wall uninvited?!" B-ko yelled at the readers.
"They must be here so that Muraki and Touga can have a break. Their last bit was pretty long," reasoned A-ko.
"SO?!?! THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE BUSY WHEN NOT DOING THOSE DAMN SHADOW PLAYS, SO THEY SHOULD STAY AWAY!!!!!"
"But they don't know."
B-ko sweatdropped. "Oh."
A-ko turned to the readers. "Soooo… how long do you guys wanna stay here?"
B-ko grumbled, "Not long I hope."
"Wait! I know how to make them go away!"
"How? How?!"
"End the scene like a skit!"
"Sounds good to me!"
In unison, A-ko and B-ko cried, "Could you leave us alone? You must! You must! You really must!!"
******
The woods around the encampment lay silent, the screaming of the girls strangely muted. Suddenly there was a soft chittering noise. At first it was rather quiet, a faraway sound, but then it increased until eventually it was like hearing ten thousand little teeth gnashing.
"Nanami-sama… What are you doing with…"
"Shut up and stay put!"
"No…Not the…"
"Squirrels!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
******
Amanda looked up from her computer and studied the pieces of the fourth wall being held together by a very stiff Dai, then grumbled and went to fetch her duct tape.
"Norou kompyuta," she growled, and set about mending the wall.
******
"Touga?"
"Yes, Muraki?"
Touga and Muraki sat under the tree they had climbed earlier, studying the sky with interest. Muraki narrowed his eyes as he looked at it.
"I was just wondering… where the hell did that fourth wall come from?"
"It's always there. Usually you just can't see it. When it becomes unstable then it becomes visible," Touga replied, smiling craftily. "When you're pondering if the authors did something to you, that sucker just breaks."
"Oh really?… I wonder if the authors ever intended that to—"
Suddenly the sky gave a huge rumble and started to shake violently. Instead of fully opening, the fourth wall began to open on one end but abruptly stopped. This caused a large chunk of fourth wall to come hurtling down from the sky and hit the ground, creating a rather large crater. Amanda poked her head out of the hole and looked extremely annoyed.
"STOP THAT! WE JUST FIXED THIS STUPID WALL!… Aiiya…"
And she began to duct tape over the hole as Touga
and Muraki stared, shocked.
