for malnpudl
192 words of F/K for malnpudl. For the prompt "The moment just before a first kiss. Your choice of F/K or Hugh/Callum." I, uh, couldn't quite stop in time. Oopsie. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks to omphale23 (who wrote a wicked cool RPS drabble because she didn't want Hugh and Callum to be left out of the fun) for beta.
Sweet Tooth
Ray's lips were lightly stained red and orange and green, as was the palm of his hand. He'd been playing with the candy, jiggling it in his closed fist, huffing warm breath on it as gamblers do with dice. After he'd warmed the candy in his palm, he'd toss it into his mouth, where he'd let the colored coating dissolve, making the oddest faces as he rolled the candy around with his tongue, tucking it into a cheek when he spoke.
As Ray pursed his lips thoughtfully, revealing a streak of blue, Fraser wondered if he could identify the flavor of the dye on Ray's skin. He'd familiarized himself with the most common artificial colorings, their properties and flavor, and had no very high opinion of their suitability as food, but he had little idea how such compounds would interact with Ray's skin, Ray's chemistry.
He was leaning forward, inspecting the traces of color on Ray's lower lip, when Ray said, "Jeez, finally, Fraser," and brought their mouths together.
Oh! Oh. So that's what it tasted like. As Fraser licked his way into Ray's mouth, he decided this warranted further investigation.
