MCA #2 | Wednesday Morning

[long_memory]

Silver didn't know what salt water taffy was, so he wasn't able to identify specifically what his arm tasted like at the moment. He did know, however, that it tasted pretty damn good. Did he usually taste like this? Rey surely would have mentioned something by now.

Maybe it was a side effect of the parrot thing? That thought was distracting enough to ruin his attempt to learn cooking via osmosis by watching the Food Network.

Rey was getting ready to go out for training, which was going to be at least momentarily halted by the distracted boyfriend.

"Something wrong?"

[long_memory]

"I guess not wrong but--" He got up and held his arm out to her. "Taste me."

[thatwaslucky]

"...What?"

As requests went, that was certainly one.

[long_memory]

"Just trust me on this." It was too weird to actually explain.

[thatwaslucky]

This might be the only time she was ever wary of licking him, but she did it... and then did it again to make sure her mind wasn't playing tricks on her.

"Did you use something new?" she asked.

[long_memory]

He shook his head. "I just woke up tasting like this."

[thatwaslucky]

"I mean... you taste good," she told him. "Even if I can't figure out the flavor."

And it was weird to have a flavor. (Like she didn't taste exactly like vanilla ice cream herself.)

[long_memory]

"I can't either. It's not bad," he said. "I'm glad to have it verified by you though, I thought I was going crazy."

[thatwaslucky]

"You're really not," she said, and now she had to wonder, "Do I taste like anything?"

[long_memory]

Silver reached for Rey's arm to give her wrist a lick. "You taste like something sweet. Kind of vanilla-y."

[thatwaslucky]

"Why?" she wondered, lifting her other hand to lick it.

This was how the day was starting, okay.

[long_memory]

"It could be worse," he said. "We could taste disgusting."

[thatwaslucky]

"This is true. I'm sorry if I lick you throughout the day to figure out what you taste like."

She was not sorry.

[long_memory]

He laughed. "I would not mind that at all. It is weird that I can't recognize it. I kind of want to know what it is so I can buy some if this doesn't last."

[thatwaslucky]

"I feel like I've tasted it before," Rey said. "So I might eventually be able to help there."

[long_memory]

"Just need to get a few more licks to help solve the mystery?" he teased.

[thatwaslucky]

"Maybe," she said with a laugh. "It's the only way I find out."

[long_memory]

"That's very scientific of you," he said with a laugh. "I think our flavors are pretty complimentary, too, which is nice."

[thatwaslucky]

"It is. Can you imagine if kissing was gross for a day?" She assumed it was a day.

[long_memory]

"It would be tragic," Silver said. "Especially since we're still in our extra affection window."

[thatwaslucky]

"We are. We would have had to tack another day on," she said, taking the opportunity to kiss him for that.

[long_memory]

Now Silver enjoyed kissing Rey on a normal day, but this was really nice today. "...that is actually pretty good."

[thatwaslucky]

"This is a very strange day and I'm okay with it," she decided, sliding her arms around him.

[long_memory]

"It's nice when the island decides to work with us," he agreed, smiling. "I am curious what other people may taste like. Not enough to lick them, of course."

[thatwaslucky]

"Good, I don't want to have to ask you not to lick other people," Rey teased.
