They dragged out, squirming and wincing at cruel effects of the outside world.

“Shit, it’s even hotter than I remember!”, Tucker howled as Kai hissed, her eyes adjusting to brightness.

Heavy plastic bags in their hands, they strolled towards home at sluggish pace.

“I know we used to bitch about power armor’s temperature control, but anything is better than this”, Tucker stated. “I think I’m just going to wear mine all the time until heat breaks. Screw Earth, screw its’ rules. What about you… Kai?”

His question faltered then peaked with confusion at the end, as he turned around to see Kai loosely holding the end of the stick protruding out of her mouth, the whole popsicle gone.

Seeing his baffled expression, she dragged the stick out, sucking her lips around it in the process.

“What?”, she asked with a quirked eyebrow.

“Did you just… Swallow the thing? In one gulp?”

Kai looked at the stick in her hand, then back at Tucker. She cocked her head.

“What, do you like to play with it for starters?”

“I’m guess I’m just not a fan of brain freeze”, Tucker replied, unabashed, and turned to his own popsicle.

He didn’t get far with it, sporting smug look on Kai’s face out of the corner of his eye. In an instant, it made him feel uneasy.

“Wait, why are you staring at me?”

“Oh, don’t mind me. I just want to check out your technique. Compare notes, so to say”.

She smiled at him pleasantly, all innocence and benevolence. Tucker gave his popsicle a considering look for a couple of seconds.

“You know I don’t suck dicks, right?”, he asked incredulously.

She nudged him with a shoulder.

“Come on! Not even once in a lifetime?”

“Nuh-uh”.

Kai’s face changed, going from playful to nearly dismayed.

“Wow. You’re seriously missing out, Tucker”.

“Bullshit!”

“It’s not! You could have been laid by now if you weren’t so picky. Options wider, chances higher…”

She waved the stick in emphasis and pointed it at the man.

“It’s math, Tucker”.

“Screw math! Screw all of this! I’m going to enjoy my popsicle, no dicks involved!”

“Alright, alright, geez”.

Kai looked away with an offended huff. Tucker’s attention returned to the matter at hand.

The popsicle was melting. Droplets were sliding down its’ length, pooling in the wrappers. Tucker figured that he should lick over the shaft to collect all droplets first, then suck at the base and then he can take the tip in his mou—

He shoved the popsicle in Kai’s direction.

“You may have it”.

“Ooooh, watermelon!”

She accepted the treat enthusiastically and it wasn’t long until it was gone. They walked in silence then, Tucker pondering over whether or not he’ll be able to enjoy a popsicle again, Kai licking the second stick clean. Eventually her voice stopped his train of thought.

“You really should consider sucking dicks”, she said plainly. “You look like a guy who might enjoy it, believe me. Think about all the possibilities. I can be your personal instructor”. She winked at him. “But we’ll need a volunteer. Do you think Wash...”
