#sproutshipping

For this piece I was inspired by 2 things.

1) Untagged NOTP crossing my dash.

2) Wind's foddart in Flight Rising. There was someone offering to do small mini chibis that I couldn't help but do the same. Let the art be messy as they say.

good ship GOOD SHIP thank u!

136. Fire

Rin threw another handful of grass into the flames, watching it curl and blacken.

“Stop that,” Yuya scolded.  “You’re going to make it smoky.”

“But it looks cool!”

Rin stepped back from the bonfire, though, looking over it.  She’d never seen a fire this big before, outside of one that wasn’t wanted.  The flames were almost as tall as her.  Yuya tugged on her arm, and she sighed, letting him take her back to the bench a bit a way.  Laughter and chatter echoed softly around the dark yard, while the shadowy figures of other people at the party clustered in groups.  Someone was lighting sparklers for the younger kids, who ran and screamed with delight with their flaming sticks.

“If you want to set something on fire, have a marshmallow,” Yuya said.

“A what?”

Yuya glanced at her with huge eyes.

“Oh my god,” he said.  “You’ve never had a marshmallow before.”

“Uh, no,” said Rin.  “I don’t even know what that is.”

Yuya grabbed her hand and yanked her right off the bench.  She’d given up a long time ago trying to get him to stop dragging her around with him.  His enthusiasm for every new thing he wanted to share with her was infectious, anyway.

“Come on!! We have to fix this!!”

She let out a little snort, but she smiled while Yuya dragged her across the yard to another table piled with food.  He grabbed hold of a pair of metal sticks, giving one to Rin.  She stared at it.

“What is this?  A sword?”

“It’s a marshmallow stick!  Here, see, you put one of these on it.”

He produced a pair of fluffy white…things from a bag, poking them onto his stick on at a time.  Rin frowned dubiously, but she took a pair from the bag as well, sliding them onto her stick.  Oh — there were sticky inside.

Yuya grabbed her hand again and dragged her back to the fire.

“So now what?” Rin said.

Yuya dropped to a crouch in front of the fire, sticking the marshmallows into the fire.

“So now you cook them!” he said.

Rin frowned again.  This didn’t make much sense.  What were these marshmallow things anyway?  Did they taste good?  They didn’t look anything like any food she’d ever had before.

She crouched down next to Yuya, though, and carefully stuck her stick into the fire.

Yuya’s marshmallows both caught fire, but he waited a few seconds before pulling them out, blowing out the flames and leaving behind a black, charred mess.  It didn’t look very appetizing.

“Is that how you’re supposed to eat them?” she said, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s how I like them,” Yuya said.  “You can do what Yuzu does though — she likes hers kinda golden brown.”

He put his hand on hers, lowering her grip so that her marshmallows were closer to the embers near the bottom.

“And then you just twist them slowly, like you’re roasting them.  There, see?”

Rin’s lips parted with surprise.  They were turned a light golden brown slowly as she turned them.  After they’d turned a little bit darker, she pulled them back out, touching one lightly with a finger.  It had gotten more firm.

“So then…you eat them?”

“You gotta make them into smores!  Let me show you!”

He took her hand once again, and this time, she couldn’t help but laugh a little.  He just didn’t even seem to think about it.  Contact seemed to come naturally to him.

He took her back to the table, and opened up another bag, holding his stick under one arm while he broke something apart.  It looked like a cracker.  He opened up a big chocolate bar and broke off a piece, pinning it against the cracker, and then smushing both halves to either side of the marshmallows.  When he pulled them off, they left a sticky residue behind.

He put his down and got out another cracker and chocolate, turning to Rin.

“Just like this,” he said, and he smushed her marshmallows between the crackers, and slid them from the stick.  He held it out to her.

A little apprehensive, Rin took what appeared to be a marshmallow sandwich.  Yuya grabbed his from the table and immediately took a huge bite.  The marshmallow squished out of the crackers and onto his fingers.  He made a content humm while the cracker crumbled over his fingers.  She looked down at her own dubiously.  Could it really taste as good as he seemed to think it was?

Carefully, she tried just to take a small bite, but the whole thing seemed like it was going to fall apart, so she had to take a bigger bite to get ahold of it.  

She tasted the chocolate first, but then her teeth got down to the marshmallow and…

“Ummn,” she mumbled through a mouthful.  It was so sticky but it was so sweet.  She covered her mouth to finish chewing.  “Oh whoa.”

“Right??” Yuya said.  “I told you that you were missing out!”

Rin took another big bite as Yuya already finished his, licking the stickiness from his fingers.  The sweet squish of the marshmallow was unlike anything else she’d ever had.  Yuya was grinning at her with she finished, his teeth catching the light of the bonfire.  She couldn’t help but grin back.

“Good, right?” he said.
