Luminescent Ministories

Bubble Gum

Rin was trying to figure out what about Bon was catching his attention  in Cram School when he finally realized that the teen was chewing something. Eating in class? Not Bon's style, but Rin could relate.

But then he caught sight if something bright pink in Bon's mouth and realized he was chewing gum. But why? He voiced this question to his boyfriend and Bon responded with the most Bon reason ever: "It's scientifically proven that chewing gum can help you stay focused for longer on tasks that require continuous monitoring.  It can also improve concentration in visual memory tasks."

Rin stared at him for a moment before throwing his head back in a laugh. "I don't know what I expected!" He giggled. Bon raised a brow at him.  "But if that's true....." A sly grin slid across Rin's face as he stood in his tiptoes to pull Bon down for a kiss. Shima and Konekomeru gaped at them as they made out before separating.

Rin grinned at the flushed Bon and blew a pink bubble with the I'm he'd stolen from the other's mouth. Bon's face flushed an even deeper red at Rin glided away, back to his seat next to Shiemi. The girl asked where he'd gotten the gum. He saw Rin sink at her and jerk a thumb in his direction.

"That was so smooth....." Shima gaped. "It seems Rin has grown out of his awkwardness around people " Konekomeru agreed.

Bon wouldn't stop chewing gum, so Rin just kept stealing it from him during Cram School at random times. Bon tried bringing the gum with him and offering it to the half-demon, but Rin would grab his hand, pull him closer, and steal the gum from his mouth, then tell him "It's a good thing you brought it with you then, isn't it?" With that sideways grin of his. Shiemi had caught on to the game after the third time and giggled whenever Rin came back to his seat blowing bubbles.

"The gum is supposed to be helping me, but Rin is counteracting that and now I can't chew it without waiting for him to take it from me during Cram." Bon groaned, head in his arms on the breakfast bar counter. Mephisto snickered. "Yes, he's gotten quite mischievous, hasn't he? I believe both Amaimon and I have finally managed to pull that out of him."

The Time Lord sighed. "He'd gotten in trouble for that when he was younger so often that he automatically associated it with things that hurt him for a long time. He forgot how to really have fun with other people, but he's finally not afraid to show his real personality. I'm glad you've helped with that, Ryuji." The Time Lord was getting used to giving these gentle smiles, though only to his lovers. That smile was precious and Bon felt extremely proud of himself for drawing it out without trying.

"So do you know what his favorite flavor of gum is?" He asked. Mephisto laughed and leaned forward to kissed him. He pulled away and blew a bubble, winking. "He likes the fruit flavored ones the best, Firefly." He answered.

Rin hummed in delight when he tasted the fruit flavored gum as he stole it from Bon. They held the kiss longer than usual before separating. Rin strutted back to his seat blowing yellow bubbles.
