Author's Note: This was written to answer two challenges at once: a koosh ball challenge at the LiveJournal community "legalscribbles" and a sentence challenge. The challenge sentence is Well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.


More Than One Way To Play With It?

Kazahaya held the sphere, playing with the rubberized extensions covering it. "Well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind."

"Don't you know what a koosh ball is?"

Offended by Rikuo's implication, Kazahaya bristled. His protest stopped mid-squawk when an arm wrapped his waist.

"What'd you think it was, boy? A sex toy?"

"Saiga-san!"

"If it was, how would you use it?"

Kazahaya blushed. Then noticing Rikuo's gaze, he burst from Saiga's grasp and fled.

Saiga chuckled. "Seems the boy's more inventive than I'd guessed."

Rikuo continued stocking the toys without comment, trying not to wonder what Kazahaya had imagined.
