Ice Cream
There was one thing that we never lacked at home and that was ice cream.
Okay, so we always had lube, too, but that's not the point.
Ice cream was Duo's answer to everything. It was there to cheer him up, there for celebration, there for cravings. It was eaten for dessert, for snack; heck, twice he even had it for breakfast. It was used for making up after arguments, and he consumed it whether it was the hottest day of the summer or the coldest day of the winter.
He even made a note to do that in particular.
He wasn't too picky about flavours, but his favourite was a simple chocolate ice cream. He always said that one could never go wrong with chocolate and ice cream together.
I guess for him, it was a part of the childhood he never had. He'd lived in the streets, and then in a poor orphanage; what were the chances he could indulge in ice cream? I'd say he was lucky that he had high metabolism and a regular work out, or he wouldn't be in such good shape.
For me, I enjoyed the treat, in particular the cookie dough ice cream, but I enjoyed watching Duo eat the treat even more. His eyes would light up as he spooned the treat out, or when he declared he was going to eat it straight from the tub because it was almost empty. He'd lick his lips, and that would make me lick my lips.
When he took his first bite, he'd close his eyes and hum in bliss. Several bites later he'd always have a moment of brain freeze, squeezing his eyes shut and moaning, which always made me laugh. One would think that a professional ice cream eater like he would be able to avoid brain freeze. But I think a part of the experience was that little moment.
And the way he'd lick the spoon after almost ever bite never failed to make me want that tongue on me. The whole ice-cream-eating affair was sensual...not that there were a lot of things Duo did that didn't turn me on.
Duo would be especially happy if I asked to eat ice cream, or asked him if he wanted some. He would be happy if I bought some for him, regardless if it were from a more expensive caf¨¦, or a random vender.
I especially liked eating ice cream at home. First, I didn't have to hide my natural reaction towards him. Second, Duo didn't mind snuggling, especially in the winter. I'd feel him shiver, his body pressed against mine, a blanket over our lap. I always laughed when I felt him shiver and would ask him why he ate ice cream when he would feel so cold. He'd always laugh along with me and tell me that that was one of the best parts.
I watched now as he came towards me, a bowl of chocolate ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate sauce on it. I remember the first time he approached me with that, how I'd stared and asked him if he intended to be hyper all night. He'd grinned at me as he settled on my lap, holding the bowl between us and telling me that if he did become hyper, he'd enlist my help in working off some energy. Since then I have never protested seeing that treat.
Duo sat down between my legs, leaning his back against the tall armrest of the couch. I tucked the blanket around our waist and he bumped his nose against my cheek. I slid my arms around his waist as Duo dug the spoon in.
Then, he offered it to me.
"You first," he said, as usual.
This, to me, was the best part. Duo had once told me that I was important enough that he would give me the first bite of his favourite treat. I know he probably meant it in a teasing way, but he never failed to do just that.
It was a silly thing, really, that I could be so happy with this small gesture, but each time it made my heart flutter. I opened my mouth and accepted the spoonful, my hand already sliding up his back to his neck.
I pulled him close and pressed our lips together, sharing the treat a little, and thanking him for offering me the first bite. I could feel him smile against my lips, and he licked them before he pulled away to eat his own first spoonful, humming and enjoying it.
Only Duo could make ice-cream eating something that was both sensual and caring. I accepted the second spoonful.
"Duo?"
"Hm?" He looked at me, licking the spoon clean.
"Thanks for teaching me to share," I told him with a half smile.
He smiled. "It goes without saying that you only share with me?"
I snorted. "Yea, I know."
"Good. I'd hate to have to hurt someone over ice cream. That would be too juvenile."
As if he hadn't almost bowled a kid over once, so eager was he to look at the new flavours at his favourite ice cream place. I chose not to voice that comment.
"Don't ever eat ice cream without me?" I asked softly.
He rubbed his nose against mine. "Never have, and never will."
I kissed him, then laughed as his next bite made him shiver and choke out the words 'brain freeze', moaning in half pain.
I hugged him tighter for a moment before grabbing the bowl and spoon despite his protest, eager to eat another spoonful.
After all, I did like the chocolate ice cream too, especially eaten with a spoon that Duo had eaten from, and the best opportunity to steal it was when he was brain frozen, his weakest moment in the duration of the treat.
I smirked at him, the spoon successfully in my mouth. Then, I pulled it out, licking carefully to get rid of any traces of ice cream and chocolate syrup.
"I'm a trained strategist," I said solemnly to him. "Especially to take advantage of your weaknesses whenever possible."
He grinned at me. "Luckily, I am trained just as well as you are to take advantage of your weaknesses."
Then his hand was on my chest, seeking a nipple and teasing it for a moment. Before I knew it, the bowl and spoon were gone from my hands.
Well, that was new. We never did any touching before the ice cream was finished. He was smirking, and I narrowed my eyes at him, my next move already planned.
If he hadn't already known, Duo Maxwell would realize quickly enough that I was not only a trained strategist, but a very quick learner.
