Little Zero gobbled down his ice cream, kicking his legs back and forth. "So yestewday...Aido and I wew havin' a convewstation."
"Oh really?" Kaname asked as he flipped through the pages of the newspaper. "What were you talking about?" He briefly thanked Kain for the cup of coffee.
"Well, Aido was sayin' all dese bad wewds again." Zero explained; "I tod him dat you sed dat you can't say bad wewds until yew tewn into a teenagew!"
"I see." Kain and Kaname nodded as Zero told his story. "And then?"
"And den, Aido asked me wen we tewn into teenagews." Zero paused to eat the strawberry topped with whip cream. "I tod him dat it's wen we want to have sex."
Kaname choked on his coffee while Kain nearly fell off his chair.
"So he asked, 'Does sex taste gewd?'" Zero blinked up at the two adults, "Does sex taste gewd?"
The whole room was silent until Kaname spoke up, "I hope he never loses his innocence."
Kain brushed his thumb across Zero's cheek, licking off the ice cream that didn't make it into the child's mouth, "It's ironic that the one who is most likely to take his innocence is the one saying that he, 'hopes Zero never loses his innocence'."
