Mush likes it sweet.

Sweet as candy canes at Christmas, or caramel apples in the summer. Soft caresses and light fingertips tickle all over, and he laughs.

A feathery kiss from his more-than-a-friend. Mush reaches for Blink's face and gently pulls the ever-present patch up from his eye. Blink turns away, a flash of anger.

"Why'd ya do that?" Almost a snarl, but not quite.

Mush just leans forward, brushes the unseen eye with his lips, and "I love you."

Blink sits, and smiles, and secretly likes it sweet, too.

A/N: Related—somewhat—to "Rough," in which I answer the question "How does Spot Conlon like it?" This came out of the blue; I'm not even a big Mush/Blink fan. You can't fight your muse, though, can ya?
