Chopsticks
"Chopsticks," Duo declared. "Are one of the greatest inventions ever!"
Heero looked at him, amused.
"I mean, look at it! It's lightweight, portable, easy to wash because it's just, well, two sticks! It's simple and there are millions of designs possible and suited for every person for every possible taste!"
Heero blinked. "They're just chopsticks, Duo,"
Duo sighed, gripping his set of chopsticks in his fist. "Now, I just have to learn how to use them."
"Not too hard," Heero said. "You hold one like this." He demonstrated. "And you slide the other one in like so." He slid the second one in. "And you use your index finger and middle finger to control the upper chopstick and gripping whatever you want."
Duo copied Heero's grip on the chopsticks. It took a couple of tries before he could move the upper chopstick as Heero had indicated.
He aimed for a piece of chicken from the stir fry.
It ended up on the table; and it wasn't because Duo dropped it midway to his bowl.
Heero suppressed a grin as Duo tried again, only managing to smear the sauce on the chicken on the table. Saving it with his own chopsticks, Heero offered it to Duo, who accepted it.
Not willing to give up, Duo aimed for a second piece of chicken. This time, he speared it with the tip of one chopstick and offered it to Heero, who promptly took the chicken with his own chopsticks.
"That's not the proper way to use your chopsticks, Duo," he said before popping the meat into his mouth.
Duo sighed. "Who said I wanted to learn how to use chopsticks?"
"You did."
"And why?"
"You said it was useful when you saw Wufei using them."
"Right! He could eat virtually anything with it."
"Very true," Heero nodded. "You can do anything but drink or cut with it."
"It's difficult," Duo huffed.
"I didn't think you were one to give up," Heero teased.
"I'm not!" Duo aimed for a carrot. This time, he managed to pick it up and he moved it carefully back towards himself, just managing to drop it into his mouth. "Ha!"
Heero chuckled. "Keep working on it."
"I think it's the muscles in my fingers that aren't used to exerting the force necessary." Duo wiggled his fingers before picking up the chopsticks again. "I mean, I can exert all sorts of other force with my hand and the chopsticks. Just not to eat."
"What kind of force?" Heero asked.
"I could probably kill with these," Duo mused.
"Likely," Heero nodded.
"But I'd very much like to be able to feed myself with these." Duo aimed for a piece of broccoli, but it fell. He scooped it up strategically so that the flower part of the vegetable sat on top of the two chopsticks, but Heero stole the broccoli from him. "Hey!"
"When you can prevent someone stealing your food from your chopsticks, you've mastered it." Heero pulled his chopsticks, occupied with a piece of chicken, away from Duo's jab. Leaning back, he dropped it into his mouth and chewed, smirking.
"Just wait," Duo mumbled. "There's got to be something I'm doing wrong here!" He looked up. "Come on, Lover, aren't you supposed to help me?"
Heero set his own chopsticks down and went around the table to bend down behind Duo. Setting his hands over Duo's, he tried to guide the fingers into understanding their task. Selecting a carrot, he brought it to Duo's mouth and waited for Duo to accept it.
"Try again," he said, guiding the hand forward. Watching Duo select a piece of chicken, he relaxed his own hand so that Duo was using the chopsticks on his own. "There you go," he said once Duo popped the chicken into his mouth. "See, not that difficult," he said as he straightened.
Only to find himself pulled down to eye level with Duo. Blinking, he stared at the mischievous eyes of his lover, swallowing.
Duo grinned. "Looks like I learned how to use the chopsticks just in time to get something good to eat," he said, glancing at the way he'd managed to tangle the collar of Heero's shirt with the wrong end of his chopsticks. "I mean, you do know that I'm fairly nimble with my hands, right?"
Heero could easily recall those nimble fingers on his body. "I know," he answered.
"Great!" Duo released Heero after dropping a kiss on his lips. Heero watched as Duo turned back to the food and managed to pick up a piece of broccoli with apparent ease.
"It's not too difficult," Duo said. "If you have a great teacher," he added, grinning up at Heero, who rolled his eyes before returning to his seat across the table.
A socked foot rubbed against his before trailing up his calf. "Hey, Heero?"
"Hm?" Heero picked up his own chopsticks.
"You can use chopsticks for a lot of things..." Duo's foot continued upwards until his toes managed to touch and wriggle against Heero's groin. "Let's explore using them as sex toys."
He laughed at Heero's suddenly flushed face as one of the chopsticks in Heero's hand clattered onto the table.
But he stopped when Heero smoothly picked up his chopstick and dipped the pair into the stir fry sauce. As he licked the sauce from the chopsticks, Heero watched his lover's Adam's apple bob as Duo swallowed.
"I'm not averse to trying it," he said nonchalantly. "After all," he smirked.
"It's your turn to bottom tonight."
