Title: For the Love of Strawberries and Needles
Warnings: Yaoi
Pairing: Ichigo x Ishida
Rating of this Specific Chapter: M (nothing hardcore, just some hinting...some very obvious hinting)
Theme 3: Taste
What does Ishida taste like? I'm not sure I can explain in one word. He tastes like a lot of things. The first taste that I was able to discern however, was something close to grapes. But that must have been because he had chosen to eat them that particular day because the next time I kissed him, he didn't have an ounce of "grape" in him. More recently, he's been tasting a lot like pineapples and whipped cream. It's hard to explain. He's sweet with a hint of sour and plenty of…well…cream. It's not like he's buttery or something but he just tastes soft and "creamy" in a way. There was also once when I tasted a hint of strawberries. I guess he was getting a little upset over me always rushing him into a kiss because it's not like him to go on a strawberries binge just for kicks. In fact, he hates strawberries, just like me… although, I didn't mind the strawberry taste on him. It was a nice touch.
He tastes different when I lick him though. Kissing is very different from licking. In general, people taste stronger when you kiss them as compared to licking them. But for Ishida, it's the exact opposite. When he decides to be a raspberry, let's say, kissing him is like eating an appetizer. You only get the full blast when you stick your tongue out and run it over his cheek or something. The stomach is better but when in public, you need to be discreet about these things and cheeks are the best way to go. However other than the effect it has on Ishida, there's no difference in where you lick. He tastes the same either way.
When I'm really in need of a taste, however, I do something much more extreme. In simple terms, I do a bit of sucking. It sounds a bit weird at first but after a while you get used to it. It's just like sucking a lollipop, but better, because lollipops don't blush and squirm. You can suck just about everywhere but unlike licking, Ishida tastes different depending on where you suck. His neck tastes a lot like a banana split while his shoulder tastes more like chocolate. My favorite place however is somewhere much lower. It has an exotic taste that I cant really name. I guess you could call it something close to mangos or coconuts. I'm never too sure. It seems to change tastes depending on Ishida's mood. The reason it's my favorite place isn't only because of its taste. It also has something to do with Ishida's reaction. He gets a little short of breath and blushes like crazy. Sometimes he starts to tremble as well but it's only when he squeezes my shoulder and cries out "Ichigo!" that you know he cant take any more.
In general, Ishida has a distinctively fruity taste.
A/N: See? This is what I mean by a good theme. Taste! Wow! It gave me so many possibilities, I was practically drowning in indecision. But in the end I decided it was time for some crack cause everyone likes crack, right? Well, anyhoo, one thing I do have to point out: Ichigo is OOC and I know he is. But he had to be, in order for this drabble to work... soooo... I came up with an explaination for it: You see, there's this terrible disease going around called the Inoue-disease. It causes people to have random ponderings at random times for random reasons just like our dear Inoue-chan. Ichigo, obviously,is a poorvictim of this disease.
xD well, I hope you enjoyed my crack and reviews are always lovely things!

EDIT: I will no longer be continuing this collection of short stories/drabbles because I have terminated my lj account (being a junior sucks... too much work and absolutely no time to keep up with so many sites) That doesn't mean, however, that I won't be doing anything with this pairing. Be on the lookout for a new IchiIshi fic soon!
