Fluffy July Day 17 @fluffyjuly Pairing: Hyoga x Yo (Dr. Stone)
-
"Yo."
"What! Me?" Yo gasped and spun around at the sound of his own name. He was suddenly face to masked face with Hyoga, one of if not the scariest person he knew. The surprised yelp that escaped him certainly wasn't his most dignified moment.
Hyoga simply blinked at him completely deadpan. After a few seconds he held something up and said, "Eat this."
Yo squinted at the item in question. A cookie. That was weird. Didn't anyone else think this was weird? He looked around quickly only to find no a single person around. All right. He was on his own.
When his gaze fell back to the suspicious snack he asked the very first, super important thing that popped into his head. "Is it poisoned?"
"No." Hyoga replied. It was obvious the redhead didn't believe him. He rolled his eyes then mumbled, "Why would it be?"
"I dunno!" Yo exclaimed. He motioned wildly with both hands as he continued, "Maybe you need to test the effectiveness of the new poison you're about to dip your spear in and I'm the easiest target or something!"
"Shut up before I make you." Hyoga grumbled.
"With deadly cookies?" Yo asked.
There was silence as Hyoga glared at him. Yo didn't move a muscle. The guy was so hard to read. He was either about to walk away or murder him in cold blood. Which was it! How could he prepare himself for an outcome he couldn't predict!
Yo was caught completely off guard when the other man did neither of those things. Instead, Hyoga reached up and hooked a finger into his mask. He pulled it down to reveal what was probably the prettiest face around then bit down on the cookie he'd been holding. Next he grabbed the redhead's chin to hold him steady and leaned in close.
Yo was a blushing mess when he opened his mouth to speak. As soon as his lips parted, the cookie was forced inside. Now, far closer than the two of them had ever been before, they both bit down on the same cookie and snapped it in half.
Since Hyoga still had his chin in hand, Yo was forced to continue to stare right at him as he chewed what was almost certainly his last ever cookie. It wasn't until he swallowed the bite in his mouth that the other man released his face and took a step away.
A thousand and one thoughts ran through Yo's head at lightspeed. What was that just now? His face was so hot! There was no way their lips barely touched right now was there? Was that some kind of Romeo and Juliet suicide pact situation just now? Wait did that make him Romeo or Juliet? He didn't do well in English Literature class back in the day. Oh, god.
Unfortunately only one could escape the mess in his head. Yo didn't even think about it as he muttered, "Dying together is kind of hardcore romantic, isn't it? I'm surprised you're into that kind of thing."
"Shut up. No one's dying." Hyoga grunted. He shook his head and said to himself, "Though you're certainly making me reconsider that the more you talk."
Yo wasn't listening. He was busy finally tasting the flavor that lingered in his mouth. It was a delayed reaction at best, but he couldn't help it. After a moment he perked up and exclaimed, "Hey, that was really good! Got anymore?"
"I thought you didn't want to eat poison," Hyoga replied flatly.
"Yeah, before I knew how great it tasted. Come on, gimmie another!" Yo yelled. He walked around to the other side of the white-haired man and attempted to find where he might be holding more. He didn't see any. Perplexed, he asked, "Where'd you get that, anyway?"
"I made it." Hyoga explained as he put his mask back into place.
Yo stood there and stared blankly. Nah, there was no way he heard that right. This guy didn't bake. He murdered. And trained. And gave everyone who was just trying to lighten the mood a deadly glare. Still, if he was in the mood for jokes, Yo would play along.
A stupid grin spread across Yo's face.He was sure he was about to call the guy's bluff when he asked, "Oh yeah? Then where are the rest? No one makes just one cookie!"
"In my hut."
"Sure, yeah. And now you're probably gonna invite me over to finish them with you, huh?" Yo snorted. This really was ridiculous. If this guy thought he'd ever believe something so asinine, he had another thing coming!
"Pretty much. Let's go."
"What?" Yo yelped.
He looked towards Hyoga to find he'd already started to walk away. The taller man paused, motioned for him to follow, then continued. Yo was far too dumbstruck to do anything. Admittedly, he was incredibly curious to see where this would lead. Maybe he'd end up murdered. Maybe he'd get a snack and a funny story out of it. Well... there was only one way to find out which it'd be!
