The favourite flavours are made up by me. Those aren't canon choices, which i'm assuming most of you already know. I just feel the need to specify in case someone thinks i'm misinformed. This is fan-fiction, so I tried to guess what I thought they like!

"CHARCOAL-VANILLA LOVERS"

Kobeni and Galgali have been dating since last year. The oddly perfect-for-each-other couple, born as two separate flavours, are swirled by the heavenly stainless steel mixer of fate into a delicious blend of charcoal and vanilla ice cream, just like the flavours they prefer ordering at their usual Sunday parlor.

Kobeni is Galgali's favourite flavour, vanilla: a classic, sweet flavour that is damn near impossible to pass up. Vanilla is considered 'plain' and 'boring' to some, but many ice-cream lovers still appreciate the classic beauty and timeless value it's had on sweet-toothed society. Much like Kobeni, that sweet young woman, vanilla is a delicate flavour, easily tainted by the presence of other stronger flavours, but on its own is strong enough to enthrall the palate.

Galgali, the violence fiend, is like Kobeni's favourite flavour too: charcoal. The harsh name and dark exterior tend to turn people off to the ice cream and the fiend, but when one gets to know charcoal and it's rich sweetness, they'll know that the seemingly strange flavour is thick and full of hidden delicacies, not too strong, nor flavourless either. Much like the taste of charcoal, the 'taste' of the violence fiend is strong, but not harsh. The charcoal flavour isn't loved by many, but those who love it, like Kobeni loves Galgali, love throughly.

The ice cream fusion have been visiting the ice cream parlor every single Sunday, a day they both have off work, for the past year of their relationship, and even some months before when they were still courting. Galgali pays one Sunday, then Kobeni pays the next.

The young, ice cream lovers work hard all week, and play all Sunday. Despite the sampling of many different flavours, the two always return to vanilla and charcoal, perhaps because something inside of their hearts yearns for the flavour that represents the other, so that they can taste each other in more ways than one—consume the other.

In any form, human or ice cream, it seems they will always be lovers, swirled eternally.

There are most notably two of their ice cream dates which serve as a checkpoint in their relationship. The first is their original date, where Galgali asks his friend Kobeni, who he sees crying for some reason, out to ice cream, with no original intention of anything more...
