Ice Cream

"Mah~ It's hot," Gojyo grumbled as he walked down the street next to Kanda who was, somehow, still looking cool and collected despite the fact that he was still wearing his coat. "For the love of alcohol, how are you not meltin' in that thing?"

"Hn," Kanda said, keeping his gaze resolutely ahead. Gojyo groaned in frustration, clenching his hand around the list of supplies Hakkai wanted them to pick up.

"It is way too hot to be shoppin'," Gojyo said. "Why we couldn't wait until evening is beyond me."

"Because then the market would be closed, baka," Kanda snapped, twitching.

Gojyo shot a tired glare at the younger man before scanning the street before them. He saw a small ice cream shop with a bench out front. Most importantly, the bench was in the shade. "Hey, let's grab some ice cream an' cool off," Gojyo said. He did not give Kanda a chance to complain, grabbing him by the arm and hauling him over to the shop. He pushed Kanda down on the bench, pushing him down again when he made to get up.

"What the fuck?" Kanda snapped quietly, wary of the mothers with children nearby.

"Oh chill out, you'll like it," Gojyo said. "Geez, what a tight-ass." he walked to an open window.

"What can I get for you today sir?" the girl behind the window asked.

"Two medium soft serve vanillas in cups," Gojyo said.

"Sorry sir, we don't have any cups left," the girl said apologetically with a sad smile. "Its been so hot that everyone ordered cups and, well... we ran out."

"Oh.." Gojyo said. "Cones are fine then."

"One moment please," the girl said with a smile. Gojyo turned around, leaning against the small counter.

He shot a glance at Kanda to find the Japanese man glaring at the dirt. He smirked. The girl came back and he paid for the ice creams before taking them. He plopped down beside Kanda and held one of the ice creams out to him while licking the top off his own.

"What the hell is this?" Kanda snapped.

"Ice cream," Gojyo said. He stared at kanda for a moment. "Wow, I didn't think you were that dumb."

"Shut up," Kanda snapped. He took the frozen treat and stared at it for a moment.

Kanda hesitantly stuck his tongue out and licked the frozen treat. He flinched, eyes going wide in shock. "It's cold."

"No shit," Gojyo said. "It's called ice cream. Why would it be cold?"

Kanda took another tentative lick of the ice cream. He must have decided he like it because the next thing Gojyo knew Kanda had closed his mouth over the curlicue at the top. He gulped as Kanda closed his lips over the ice cream, taking a bite out of it. Kanda swallowed the ice cream before taking another dainty yet seductive bite out of the treat. Gojyo looked away until Kanda winced. "Ow, what the fuck?"

"Brainfreeze," Gojyo explained with a smirk. "It happens when you eat ice cream too fast."

"Why didn't you warn me?" Kanda snapped.

"I didn't think you'd like it that much," Gojyo said with a shrug. He glanced at Kanda's ice cream. "Ah! It's meltin'!"

Kanda looked back to see sticky, white cream dripping over his fingers. He switched hands, licking the liquid ice cream from the cone before turning to his fingers. He lapped the cool cream up, sucking on his fingers lightly before sighing and turning his attention back to the quickly melting treat in his hand.

He caught a stray drip with his tongue, lapping it up like some kind of cat. Gojyo swallowed before turning back to his mostly finished ice cream. He dragged his tongue over it, enjoying how good the coldness felt on such a hot day.

"Ack!" Kanda said. Gojyo looked over to find Kanda had caught his falling ice cream with his face. He nosed the frozen treat back onto the cone before backing off with a huff. He licked his lips before turning to Gojyo who then proceeded to double over laughing. "What?"

"You've got ice cream on your nose," Gojyo said once he'd finally calmed down. Kanda went cross eyed trying to see it and then proceeded to try and lick the cream off of his own nose. While some people might have been able to, Kanda could not.

Gojyo laughed at his efforts and Kanda huffed in annoyance. Gojyo grabbed his chin gently and turned Kanda's face towards him. Staring Kanda straight in the eye the entire time, he licked the ice cream from the other man's nose.

"Oi!" Kanda said, pulling back and turning away in a failed attempt to hide the blush that came to his cheeks. He went back to his ice cream and Gojyo smirked.

"Salty," Gojyo murmured. Once both of them had finished their ice creams they got up and left. Gojyo waited for a good five minutes before he pulled Kanda into a shadowed alley. "You can't lie to me."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Kanda snapped, struggling when Gojyo pinned his wrists to the wall on either side of his head.

"You're meltin' in that coat, aren't ya'?" Gojyo said. "You're jus' too proud to admit that a little heat could get to ya'."

"Shut up," Kanda growled. He reared his head back to headbut Gojyo in the face but Gojyo moved before he could. Gojyo pressed his lips against Kanda's pinning his head back against the wall. Kanda made muffled protests until Gojyo pulled back. "Stop! What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"I planned to help you cool off," Gojyo said with a smirk. He shifted Kanda's arms so they were both above his head and held with only one of his hands. He trailed his now free hand down the row of buttons on the front of Kanda's coat.

"That is not going to cool me off in the slightest," Kanda said, looking away with a blush staining his cheeks. Gojyo smirked and pressed closer to the shorter man.

"I know," Gojyo purred in his ear.
