Blood Thirst

Chapter 3 Will It Icing

Link's POV

I sat down at our desk next to Rhett. He turned and smiled at me.

"It's so good to have you back, brother. You ready for today?" Rhett asked and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I said with a chuckle.

Apparently, the crew had gotten some pretty gross things for today. We were doing Will It Icing. We are going to have a slice of cake with some different  icings than usual. I looked into the monitor and made sure my hair and glasses were in place. I quietly cleared my throat.

"Three... two... one," Stevie counted down.

"Today we ask the question that has burdened the mind of man since the beginning of time..." Rhett started.

"Will it icing?" I asked and raised one eyebrow.

"Good Mythical Morning," Rhett said.

"Today, we will be testing out if certain items will icing. First, we have peanut butter and jelly," I said as Chase placed the cake in front of us. "Now, I'm pretty sure the answer will be yes, but let's find out, shall we?" I took a bite of the cake.

"Mmm, this is really good!" Rhett exclaimed.

"There is a whole lot of goodness happening in my mouth right now," I said and swallowed the bite.

"Next, we have tomato sauce," Rhett said and nodded his head. "I'm not so sure this one will be as good as the PB and J, but we'll find out," Rhett said and put the forkful of cake into his mouth.

I did the same. My face contorted a bit. I looked at Rhett and he had the same expression. I quickly swallowed it.

"It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. Cake and tomato sauce do not work well together. Let's move on," I said and pushed aside the plate.

We went through various items, such as, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and finally, we were at our last one.

"Well, now comes a regular on our Will Its, pork blood!" Rhett said.

I gagged slightly. Just the thought of having to choke that down again was bad enough. I sighed.

"Why do we always have to eat this stuff?" I asked and stared down at the disgusting substance atop the cake.

"Because, our crew likes to torture us, Link, but we'll get them back in Good Mythical More. Now, let's dink it and sink it," Rhett said and held his fork out.

I slowly moved mine towards his and gently tapped them together. I sighed and brought the fork up to my mouth. At least it wasn't as much as we normally had to consume. My hands shaking, I slowly put the cake into my mouth. I had scrunched up my face in anticipation, but it relaxed once I tasted it. It was surprisingly good! I looked at Rhett, he was spitting his out in the trash can.

"How are you not gagging, you always do?!' Rhett asked and spat again.

"I don't know, but it tastes really good!" I said and went for another forkful.

I shoved it in my mouth and quickly ate some more. Within a few seconds, I had completely eaten the cake. I looked at Rhett's piece and asked," Are you gonna eat that?" (Sorry, I just had to.)

He kept staring blankly with his mouth hanging open. I took that as a no and demolished his piece of cake.

"L-Link a-are you alright?" Rhett asked with wide eyes.
