Here's the next oneshot I decided to post. I want to just go ahead and thank everyone who's reviewed so far. It makes my heart melt into a bunch of marshmallows to see all of your kind words. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Anyway, this oneshot's a bit on the short side, but it's actually one of my favorites that I wrote. Heh. Hope you enjoy!

Prompt Word #11: Unexpected

Garry never did anything abrupt. He was usually very predictable; however, something that he did today was still tugging at Ib. It was like any other day, really. Garry met her outside after school, like always, and then they walked to his apartment. They sat at his couch, munching on the macaroons that he bought earlier. Occasional chat was tossed back and forth, when their mouths weren't filled with delicious pastries.

Ib stole a glance at her friend, loving the way he looked when he ate macaroons. She always loved the way he looked, as long as he was happy. His attention was set on the TV in front of them, so while Garry was distracted, Ib took this moment to inspect his features. Even though half of it was covered by his bangs, she loved his face. His striking blue eyes that always looked into hers when they talked. His strong, sharp jaw that could form the most gentle smile.

Garry's attention was suddenly on her, and Ib flushed. The heat flooded her face and Garry gave her a smirk.

"What are you staring at?" he asked, grinning at her.

"Ah..! Er," she stammered. Ib was about to turn her attention elsewhere, until she saw a few bits of macaroon lingering on the side of Garry's mouth. She quickly used that to her advantage. "You have some macaroon on your face. Hold still."

Garry did just that, as Ib reached with her tiny hands, swiping her forefinger along the bits of the pastry. She figured that was the end of that, but Garry's hand gently took her by the wrist. The contact gave Ib a strange sensation in her stomach, but it wasn't bad. Her curious maroon eyes locked with his blue, and that was when Garry did something unexpected.

Still keeping his eyes on hers, Garry took her finger in his mouth. Ib felt her insides swap places and all of the blood rushed to her face. She felt his tongue rub against the tip of her finger, to get the bits of macaroon she'd salvaged. Her hand trembled as Garry slid more of her finger in his mouth, his tongue now swirling around the digit, and she could feel his hot mouth suck on it.

As sudden as it had happened, Garry released her hand. Ib simply stared at him, retracting her hand to cradle it with her other trying to calm it from shaking.

Garry licked his lips. He punctuated it with a silly grin.

That was definitely weird. But the more Ib thought about it, the more she didn't really mind it.

Hehe, Garry was feeling a little daring, wasn't he? Hope you enjoyed this next part. As always, reviews are appreciated.
