| Strawberries |
| �You know, I don�t mind going out, but I really love coming back home,� Brian said as he sat at the table and pulled his boots off. �You are so right.� Nick was already standing at the refrigerator, peering inside to see if there was anything interesting to eat. He smiled widely and looked back at Brian gleefully before reaching in and pulling out a small basket of strawberries. Brian leaned back into the chair and watched Nick shut the door. Nick went to the sink and rinsed off the fruit, humming a tune under his breath. Brian grinned, but immediately resumed his blank face as soon as Nick turned around. �Want some?� Nick asked, holding out the little green plastic basket. He shrugged when Brian scrunched up his nose and shook his head before placing a strawberry between his soft pink lips and taking a bite of it. �Oh shit!� he exclaimed before wiping the red juice off his chin with a napkin. Brian laughed out loud. �I didn�t know strawberries were that juicy. I hate them so I never eat them, you know that.� Nick smiled between bites of fruit. �Yeah, well. They usually aren�t. These are just extra good. You should try them. These are good.� He smiled. There was a seed stuck in his tooth. Brian giggled and stood up. He walked towards Nick, whose eyes widened as Brian advanced. Brian stopped about three inches from Nick and whispered, �There�s a seed in your tooth.� Nick laughed again and sucked it out with his tongue. �There. Did I get it?� Brian chuckled. �Yeah.� They stood, quiet for a moment. Nick was still eating; Brian was just watching him. He had never liked strawberries, they were too sweet or maybe not sweet enough for his liking, but the way Nick was savoring them made Brian�s mouth water. �Can I have one?� Brian asked, breaking the silence. Nick grinned, surprised. �Sure.� He took one out of the basket. �But only if I can feed it to you.� Brian smirked. �And why would I want you to do that?� �Because you know you like it when I put stuff in your mouth.� �You�re right.� Confusion passed over Nick�s face as he picked a strawberry up. �I thought you hated strawberries.� �The way you are eating them makes me want to eat one� and eat you.� Brian�s eyes shone wickedly. He could see lust in Nick�s gaze then. Nick put the strawberry on Brian�s lips. Brian opened his mouth and Nick slowly pushed it in Brian�s inviting mouth. Brian swirled his tongue around it, feeling the unfamiliar roughness in his mouth. He took a bite. Cold juice gushed and he chewed slowly, not believing he was actually enjoying the pure sweet taste. He swallowed it, and smiled. �That was delicious,� he said, licking juice off of his bottom lip. Nick was staring at him slack jawed. Brian smiled seductively, noticing there was still strawberry juice on Nick�s full bottom lip. He leaned over and placed his lips on Nick�s, sucking the juice off. Nick�s mouth hungrily met Brian�s and he roughly pushed his tongue into Brian�s mouth. Brian could taste strawberries on Nick and roughly kissed back, sucking lightly on Nick�s tongue as they clashed and danced together. Brian wanted more, and he and Nick slowly undressed, right there in the kitchen, taking turns running their juice stained lips over each other�s bodies, savoring the contact, the feeling of skin to skin. Later, lying in bed, tired but completely sated, Brian snuggled closer to Nick, loving the feeling of being enclosed in Nick�s strong arms. He lifted his head and whispered, �Wanna know something, baby?� �Mmm?� Nick whispered sleepily as he lay there with his eyes closed, lazily running his hand up and down Brian�s back. �I think I like strawberries now.� Brian grinned and put his head back down and began to doze off. And all Nick could do was smile. |
