Title: Sweet Tooth

Summary: If Yuu had to decide on Chiaki's taste it would be 'sweet', the kind of sweet that lingered and stuck with you after a single taste. So it was hard to live around him if you didn't have a taste for sweets.

A/N: This time I decided I didn't want to go for an M rated one. I shared that fact with WaterLilly92 and she threw some sugary-sweet clichés my way. And I cooked this little drabble up xD Hope you have a sweet tooth~! (It could also be interpreted as being in the universe of The Time He Thought Would Never Come and Tonight I'm Loving Yuu but only if you want it to be x))

Sweet Tooth

-.-.-

Chiaki had always had a sweet tooth – he adored anything with sugar in the mix. The easiest way to please him was to stop by the local convenience store and grab a vanilla cake with ice-cream topping or a bag of chocolate chip cookies or some fresh cream puffs. Sometimes even a simple waffle could bring a wide smile and a warm greeting to whoever brought him the treats. He even liked chewing fruit flavored bubble gum, Yuu remembered.

Yuu himself had never enjoyed the overly sweet diet his friend would have gladly indulged himself in had he had the presence of mind to have a steady diet at all. Yet it wasn't that he really disliked sweets. He just found the taste too pronounced on most of the products he had tried. There was also something to be said about growing used to his mother's habit of sparing the spices in pretty much everything she cooked.

Yet there were the times that he would actually enjoy the sweetness of Chiaki's favorite hot chocolate when he leaned over the table and kissed him on the lips with the snow falling softly outside. Or when he would pull the other close after he had devoured the last piece of fruitcake and melt their mouths together until he acquainted himself with the exact taste of the dessert. Or even that one time when Chiaki had somehow gotten his hands on a lollipop (Oh god!).

And there was also that other kind of sweetness he was getting too much of lately. The kind of sweetness that you felt when lying under the star-filled sky next to the person you loved and pointed at the shimmering dots hidden in the darkness that might or might not have been stars.

The kind of sweetness you could taste in Valentine chocolates that were a special expensive black chocolate that was more on the bitter side but still so sweet when they came from him.

The kind of sweetness that became all he could taste when he dragged him off to a movie and kissed him when the main couple from the romantic side-plot of the story was finally sharing their first.

That kind of sweetness that made his chest swell with warmth and his heart beat ten times faster and that was addicting and Yuu should have developed diabetes by now considering how that taste had followed him through every single day in which he could see Chiaki's smile shining brightly for him.

And it was better, he decided, much better than the sourness of watching from the sidelines when someone else made him laugh. And it was better than the salty pain that had etched at his heart while watching him in despair. And it was definitely better that the bitterness of hopelessness he had been way too accustomed to.

So after over a year of sugary sweetness Yuu decided it wasn't that bad and if things went on like this, he could easily grow a sweet tooth.
