Got Skills?
"Want one?" I ask, knowing full well that Dante's a sucker for these things as I open the package, but one of us has to be coy. Buddha knows he isn't! (And Buddha forbid that he ever should be. ^_~)
"Sure." He replies. I hand him a (wrapped) piece. Wonder if he's going to show off this time.
I certainly will, though! Wonder if he'll catch on to the subtext . . . Currently, he's oblivious . . .
Chi snickers naughtily, knowing full well what I intend.
Alastor shoots her a strange look. "Are you out of your mind, woman?" No reply.
"I have heard far worse than those pathetic things you call insults." Chi has a liking for acidic remarks where the devil sword is concerned.
"Hey, Alastor,"
"What?" Apparently, our favorite electrical sword was stung by Chi's last remark.
"Either quit flirting or get a room." Dante's comment will earn either well-received silence or the hilarity of outraged spluttering from the demon sword.
"Why, you!" And we have the outraged spluttering amidst Chi's giggling!
I pop the second piece into my mouth and let the fun begin, (gently) working tongue, teeth, and fangs around the wrapper to Dante's surprised expression. Chi's giggles turn into a giggle fit.
I spit out the wrapper with a look of satisfaction. Slightly blushing amusement overtakes a certain half-devil's surprise. Subtext received! If I can do that with my mouth, what else can I do with it?
A devilish grin. "Beat this." He's showing off! Woo-hoo!
Alastor has stop spluttering. "Is this a rite of courtship among their kind?" He asks a certain angelic ice blade, completely clueless to the meaning of this.
Chi bursts out laughing, leaving Alastor scratching his etheric head.
Dante sticks his tongue out of reveal the Starburst wrapper – now folded into a crane!
There is no possible way to hide an expression like mine- a mixture of utter amusement, appreciation for those skills, and pure naughty curiosity!
Chi gets herself under control. "Yes, Alastor, that is a rite of courtship!"
Anyone remember that Starburst commercial from about five years ago – the one where the guy and girl have fun with the wrapped Starburst? I've had this idea rattling around in my head since then- I just needed two characters bold enough to flirt in (relative) public like that! And this may be written into a later chapter if you guys really like it.
