Snake (mxm) (Rever series 3)

Snake 19

Pyre awoke without his cuddle buddy. He wasn't quite sure what had actually gotten him up until he looked over toward the door and saw Fen holding up a huge bag of food. 

"I thought that you might want to eat it while its hot," he said before disappearing out the door. 

Yawning, Pyre rubbed at an eye as his mind mumbled a response that seemed to slip past his new filter app. 

I want to eat you hot. 

To his surprise, he didn't feel any kind of awkward sensation from his words, which made him get up faster than he normally would. 

Err, I still need a shower. 

He wandered out of the room, intending to turn toward the bathroom, but the smell of sweet and savory wrapped a rope around his heart and easily won the fight. 

Fen looked up as he approached, making Pyre wonder where his Gin bear was. 

"I already gave him his. He's studying, since we were all out earlier," Fen said, making Pyre glance back toward Gin's room. 

"I got you a few things. We'll finish whatever you don't end up liking," Fen said as he set out several containers. 

Pyre quickly set to opening them all, and when it came to the bag of egg rolls, he quickly plopped one into his mouth, letting it hang out the side like a cigar as he continued his work. It was hot as hell, but even just the outer shell of it tasted so damn good. 

He really did buy quite a lot...

There were four different containers of entrees, as well as two different kinds of rice and one massive container that contained nothing but vegetables and cashews. He knew that he might startle the guy a bit with his decision, but Pyre actually reached for the steamed vegetables first. They had a light sauce on them that tasted like garlic and soy, making him drool a bit as he downed them in record speed. 

"I'm kind of surprised that you went for the vegetables first," Fen finally said after Pyre had eating over half the container in five minutes. 

He slowed himself down at that point, knowing that his stomach was still hesitant on keeping certain foods down. In fact, he set it back on the counter, giving himself a chance to see if it would be accepted in general, or if he might need to run to the bathroom for something other than a shower. 

"Vegetables give me the most energy. If I'm going to eat, I'd rather feel fuller, longer, than simply enjoy the flavor of something else a little more," he said with a slight shrug. His father also hated the taste of them, so if he ever managed to snag any from the food bank, they were the few things the man wouldn't eat. 

Fen nodded in understanding as he picked up a small fried thing called a crab rangoon. 

Oh? Crunchy...

He really liked crunchy stuff...

Seemingly catching his thought, Fen reached into the bag again with his free hand, then offered the little fried ball to him. 

God, I really wanted to just take a bite out of his...

Internally grumbling about Fen's cursed venom problem, Pyre took the proffered food and, after a quick nibble at one of its edges, took a decent bite. 

Oh, wow. 

It was a little sweet, but mostly savory. And the crunch? 

I think I'm gonna c— "There's dipping sauce for it, too," Fen said, cutting off his impure thought just in time. "It's a little too sweet for me, but you might like it."
