Sugar and Spice

A/N: SHOUT OUT to Solora Goldsun for suggesting the amazing idea for this chapter! She's truly ah-mazing! I would highly suggest reading and reviewing her work, she's got major talent! …Well, you can do that after you read this…and hopefully REVIEW ;) hehe.

KEVIN'S POV

When it came to Gwen, I was powerless. It didn't matter how invincible I became in the material I encased myself in, being an Osmosian and all. No layer of even the most impossible material to penetrate could stop me when it came to my redheaded, ultra hot, smart, butt-kicking, great kissing girlfriend. If she wanted me to go shopping with her, I always went. Trust me, I HATE shopping with a burning, smoldering, conflagrant passion. Unless you classified illegal tech deals as "Shopping" then, yeah, I really hated it. But Gwen made me weak. That Anodite goddess was my soft spot. So, naturally, when she asked me to take her to the pier, I took her out on the date.

Honestly, I wasn't holding back from taking her here. I loved every moment I spent with her. It was the fact that she'd asked for cotton candy after we'd ridden the Scrambler and played a few pointless carnival games that got me to waver. But, of course, I caved.

"I haven't had cotton candy in forever," Gwen shot a genuine smile up at me, her hand clasped firmly in mine. Her gorgeous, shimmering emerald eyes clouded over with nostalgia, her mind somewhere too far for me to find. "I think...it was at a baseball game when I last had it. When Ken played, actually. I was about eight," she giggled, that tinkling laugh like music that would blow up the charts to my ears. "I begged my dad for some, he'd never let me have it before. I eventually annoyed everyone in the Home team bleachers that one of the player's mother's gave up her stick of cotton candy just to shut me up."

Glancing over at her, I squeezed her hand, "Rotten kid."

Her jade eyes narrowed to slits at my words, her smirk giving away the fact that she was teasing. "Yeah? Well, Ben's the one who the whole third grade dubbed him as 'Ben the Brat'."

"Seriously?" I chuckled. Ben was such an idiot...hmm; I think I have yet another pet name to annoy the Intergalactic Hero with.

"May I help you?" the peppy teen running the concession stand by the dunking booth asked cheerfully.

"Yeah," I nodded, not even trying to hide the fact that I was rubbing my temples, "One cotton candy, please."

She nodded vigorously, the bubbly brunette's braids whipping around in the air, "Just a moment please."

"Only one? What about you?" Gwen asked once the annoying girl had ducked in the back to make the delicious, sugary treat.

"I've got an idea..." I told her, squeezing her hand while I dug in my pocket with my free hand for some cash.

"I don't know if that's a good or bad thing..." She teased, eyes shimmering brightly with the fading yet strong sunset backing us up. The fiery horizon was ablaze, nearly matching her shiny, long red mane
that my fingers often found themselves tangled up in.

We walked over to a rather secluded area of the pier, away from the whirling machines and screaming occupants of dipping and twisting roller coasters. I led Gwen over to the railing, the vast deep
azul sea and smoldering sky was all for our eyes to capture. "You know," Gwen startled me out of my daze at the beautiful scenery, "this is really romantic."

Resting a hand over my heart, I pretended to act offended, "Are you implying that I'm usually not this romantic?"

"Not at all," she purred, warm eyes matching the dipping sun's warmth. Returning her gaze back to the ocean, I tore a piece of cotton candy off of the pink cloud on a stick in her hands. Before she could turn
to see what I was doing, I pressed the little cotton-ball-like fluff against her luscious red lips. "Oh!" She squeaked in surprise as I leaned into her. The sweet, sugary taste stained my tongue as I nibbled at the puff of sugar that was rapidly melting in her lips. The nectarous pink cloud dissolved quickly as I pressed my candy coated lips against her sweet, delicious pair. As I traced my tongue over her bottom lip, every shred of sugar was lapped up, the sticky substance in my mouth now. Slowly, I pulled away, noticing how her body was shaking.

"Hey, are you cold?" I whispered, nudging her foot with mine.

"N-No...just...stunned."

Before I could ask her anything else, the sweet, rich, flavorful taste of sugar coated my tongue. My eyes widened, meeting her glistening jade rings of hunger. A sudden crave for kisses erupted inside of me
at that dangerous look, the beast within my chest swelling up. Inside me, something was awakening, roaring to life.

Gripping her hips firmly, I pulled her into me, deepening the searing kiss. Between our rallying tongues, the sugary delight of fluff disappeared from existence, that after taste as tempting as ever. Shifting gears, I slid my tongue to caress the inside of her mouth, directly where her luscious lips were on the outside. Then, slipping it out over the hill of tender flesh I'd kissed many times before, my tongue roamed to the very far corner of her lips. My taste buds zinged as sugar scattered onto my tongue, it's sweet remedy relaxing me.

I could feel Gwen's grip slack on the paper stick holding up the cloud of sugar that had caused this little session in the first place. Once again, I leaned back slightly, catching the loving look shining in her
emerald rings of emotion. "Want another bite?" Placing another sweet fluff inside of her mouth, Gwen leaned into my body. As she got on tip-toe, I could sense the closeness of the proximity of her sugary lips to mine. The warmth was suffocating me, that delicious taste burning on my tongue for more. As I was about to plunge in once again, an explosive BANG! shattered the night air. Whipping our heads towards the deep waters, the last flickering, colorful embers of a firework were fading into the dark. More followed in suit, bursting to life in the dark night air, lighting up the dark veil, night air and filling
it with emotion and playfulness. "Wow..." Gwen breathed from beside me, awed at the explosives crackling across the inky darkness.

Grinning, I pulled her even closer to me. Her pretty little head immediately fell on top of my shoulder, fixing in the deep crook that seemed to be made especially for her. Resting my sugary lips on her head, I took in the scent of her exotic shampoo, not quite sure what the brewing mixture of scents was made of, as I kissed her tenderly.

Right here, right now, with the sweetest taste on my tongue and girl in the whole Universe, I felt as if nothing could ruin tonight at all. Nothing at all...

...Well, maybe...

I shook my head. Nothing could possibly ruin what I was feeling right now. Once Gwen lifted her head up when the display in the sparkling, dazzling sky stopped, she kissed me firmly on the lips, licking them
all up. "We ran out of cotton candy," she whispered, warm breathy words hot on my neck.

"Then I should go by some more," I stated and did just that.

A/N: Well, there you go, a fluffy cotton candy one-shot! Props to Solora, once again, for offering this awesome idea to me! REVIEW, please! I would most definitely love that!
