A/N: It suddenly occurs to methat none of these drabbles thus far have been actually slashy. Well, only one thing to do for it...
Temptation
"They are stolen property. It's immoral."
"Confiscated, actually. And they'll go bad if no one eats them, so you might as well."
Visit regarded the bowl of apples on the break room table for another moment. There had been a cartload of them, which had been busted for smuggling arms in a hidden compartment. Now they were trying to get rid of them.
"'Let not the crops lie abandoned in the fields,'" he quoted with a shrug, and picked one up.
"Waste not, want not?" Reg suggested wryly.
A Look. But a mild one. Visit bit into the apple. After awhile, he said contemplatively, 'In the Book of Origins, Mankind was tempted into wickedness by a forbidden apple."
"Hmm. Really?" Reg answered distractedly. He was staring at the bowl.
"Is something wrong?"
Almost dreamily, he picked up an apple and turned it over in long gray fingers. "I forget how these tasted," he said distantly.
There wasn't much to say to that. Visit took another bite, which sounded very loud in the silence.
Eventually, Reg set his apple down. "You know, I can buy that," he said.
"What?"
"About the temptation thing with the apple."
"Really?" There was guarded hope in the Omnian's voice.
"Mmm-hmm. It's a very tempting fruit."
Yet again, Visit could tell the conversation had gotten away from him. He took another bite. It was good, but there was no reason to get maudlin. "How so?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"I suppose," he said with a shrug.
Faster than he could react, Reg leaned forward and caught him in a kiss almost matter-of-factly. There was a flicker of tongue over Visit's lips, which tasted of apples, and then Reg pulled away.
"Now I remember,' the zombie murmured in that same distant tone and smiled.
A flustered Visit blinked in surprise, opened his mouth to say something, closed it again, and then breathed out sharply in frustration.
"Abomination," he managed eventually, but there wasn't much venom in it.
The smile became a smirk. "Yeah?"
Visit sighed, set the half-eaten apple down and didn't touch it again. It was just too damn tempting.
