Il libro di Jaylos

when the boys try nutella for the first time

"Dude," Carlos practically moaned, "this is so good!"
Jay huffed as he dropped his tourney equipment to the ground, stick and padding falling heavily. His hair was pulled back tightly, but some strands had escaped and clung to the sweat on his face, no matter how often he pushed them back. "What are you talking about?"
His roommate sat back against his bed with Dude next him, who was whining at how man's best friend had been replaced with the jar in his owner's hand.
"It's called nutella," Carlos grinned, waving the object at Jay. "It's delicious."
There were several things Jay considered to be delicious. Things like peanut better cups, his best friend, grapes, watermelon, Carlos, pizza and his cute roommate.
Of course, one of those things made the list just for looking good since Jay had never had the pleasure of tasting the boy in front of him.
"You have to try some. Come here."
Jay knelt beside his friend and held the jar. "What are you eating it with?"
Carlos smiled at him and Jay fought down the warmth in his chest. "Anything. You can eat it on cookies, on crackers, on bread. It's like chocolate, but...more."
True, the trash had new wrappers in it as well as a paper plate, but it was all gone now.
"What are you eating it off of now?"
Carlos smiled coyly at him and waggled his fingers. "It's good enough to eat off of skin."
Oh. Okay. Relax libido, calm down.
His face was burning all of a sudden. "Well, uh, my h-hands are all, uh, dirty from practice." Why was it so hard to speak? "So I'll have to pass."
"No, you have to try. Here," Carlos dipped a single finger into the jar and scooped some of the spread up. "I don't care. And I haven't licked this finger yet."
Well shit.
No isn't really an option anymore.
"Are you sure?"
Carlos shrugged. "Yeah, my hands are clean." He inched his hand closer to Jay's mouth.
Hands gripping their carpet, Jay leaned forward, licked the chocolate off of Carlos' finger. His roommate was right, that nutella stuff was pretty amazing, but Jay felt far too light-headed to think about anything than how his tongue had just touched Carlos' skin for half a second.
"Want more?"
Hell yes.
Carlos laughed at the eager nod and scooped more out of the jar, offering it up to Jay's lips.
It was the sweet laugh and how Carlos offers it so quickly to Jay. It was the chocolate mixed with a hint of salt and copper from freckled hands. It was how he was ridiculously jealous of the way Carlos looked at a jar of food.
Jay grabbed Carlos' wrist, held it firmly as he took an outstretched finger into his mouth, sucking gently and letting his tongue work against Carlos' calloused skin. His teeth scraped over a knuckle and Jay all but sighed at the taste of chocolate and Carlos.
When he pulled back (regrettably), Jay hardened himself for Carlos' reaction. Maybe a push away with a scrunched nose and a 'gross!' or an eye roll. But Carlos stared wide eyed and slack-jawed, looking at Jay...like he was more interesting than a stupid jar of chocolate.
He's a risk taker, it's fun and exciting, but Jay could hardly breathe when he mumbled. "Can I have more?"
Carlos nodded silently, still watching as Jay held his palm, taking two fingers between his lips and giving them the same treatment. Lavishing them with his tongue, sucking every speck of chocolate off, humming a bit around the digits.
There's still no noise when Jay pulled back, licked his own lips clean of any nutella or lingering taste of Carlos, but his roommate is clearly flustered and squirming.
If he hadn't been rejected before, he probably wouldn't be this time. Jay took a deep breath. "More?"
Carlos bit his lip and when he brought his hand back to Jay, it was pushed back, forcing the nutella to smear on his lips and Carlos gasped.
Jay leaned closer, still half-expecting to be pushed away, but he couldn't turn back now. "Can I still taste?"
For a moment, they were frozen. Carlos looked between Jay and the chocolate on his own mouth, going a little cross-eyed when he glanced down in a way that was frustratingly cute and naive. Jay kept his eyes on Carlos' face. He wouldn't move forward until he knew Carlos wanted him to and he wouldn't back up until he was definitely rejected.
Carlos finally nodded, cheeks turning wonderfully red, and the older boy bit his tongue to stop himself from pouncing.
He leaned close enough to lick the chocolate from Carlos' face and Jay took his time to trace the swell of a bottom lip and appreciate how the sweet mouth trembled under his own. Jay reached forward, held Carlos' face gently, and used his teeth to pull the lower lip and fully suck on it.
Carlos practically whimpered.
When he noticed there was no more nutella on Carlos' face (which, honestly, took longer than it should have to realize), Jay pulled back, but didn't move his hands off of Carlos and said the first thing that came to mind. "Good enough to eat off of skin, right?"
"Y-yeah," Carlos breathed against his lips and Jay shuddered. "Do you...want more?"
"Of the nutella or of you?" Because, oh Maleficent, it would suck to be rejected now, after how close he was and how badly he craved it all, but Jay had to check. Had to make sure Carlos wanted him too.
"Either one?"
Jay laughed and he was still grinning when he moved forward to sit on Carlos' lap. He kissed Carlos, slowly and firmly, and swatted the jar out of his hands.
Nutella be damned, he found something much more delicious.
