Work Text:
Souichi laid his head down on his desk as his classmates left for their 15-minute recess break. This was one of the only times he could rest after a long night of staying up all night for various reasons.
Just as Souichi was about to nod off, the sound of a plastic wrapper noisily being crumpled caught his attention.
Lazily looking up, he saw that you had taken a seat in front of him. Although your body was turned towards him, you had your head turned to the side. You seemed to have been daydreaming as you looked out the large classroom window.
Souichi watched as you slipped a black lollipop into your mouth. Using 2 fingers, you bumped the hard candy against your teeth noisily. It was more annoying than the sound that came from his own mouth whenever he moved the metal nails against his teeth. Not to mention it was totally on purpose.
Slowly your lips, tongue, and even teeth started to turn a dark-grey color.
Your mouth had been tinted the exact same color when you two first interacted.
He could still remember that day like it was yesterday.
One of the new teachers in the school had been extremely mortified that Souichi had nails in his mouth. They insisted that he take them out immediately or else they would take action against his parents for allowing him to be so reckless. Not wanting to hear his parents nag all night long again, he ultimately complied with the idiotic teacher's threats. However, he was not prepared for the horrible withdrawal-like symptoms that quickly followed.
All throughout class Souichi was chewing on his pencil and the nail of his thumb. He was doing basically anything he could to give his mouth and mind a sense of relief and comfort.
That was when you stepped in and offered him a lollipop. As you smiled, he could see that your teeth had been tinted a disgusting uneven shade of black. However, this was just a side effect from one of the lollipops you always ate.
Everyone in the school called you the lollipop queen because you always had a lollipop in your mouth. However, the lollipops you ate weren’t just any old lollipops you would find at a dagashiya. You claimed that they were all homemade. You harvested the ingredients yourself and spent countless hours perfecting new flavors.
Although the first lollipop you ever gave Souichi was a simple cherry flavor, you soon started to present him with other flavors he might be interested in. Butterfly Pea, Sata-Andagi, melon-bread, and, requested by none other than the wanna-be vampire himself, blood flavor. That last request was still in the making though.
Most of the flavors you made were spot-on and tasted absolutely amazing. But there was still one flavor he had yet to try for himself…
“Hey, Hagurobettari.” Souichi called for your attention with a compliment-like insult. “Can I have one?” He asked as he sat up straight.
“A lollipop? Sure. What flavor?”
“Black.” Souichi pointed to the lollipop you had in your mouth.
Just as quickly as you got up to go retrieve the candy, you sat back down.
Taking the black glass-like ball out of your mouth, you loudly sighed.
“You know I can’t give you one of these… The second you put this lollipop in your mouth, you’ll have black teeth like me for the rest of the week. You don’t want that, do you?” Souichi rolled his eyes as you started to lecture him about the dangerous addiction-like symptoms the mysterious lollipop also held.
He honestly hated how weak you thought of him in regard to addictive stimulants.
Souichi turned his head to the side and looked out at the sky as you tried to change the subject. He could hear little annoyed sighs come from you as he didn’t reply to anything you said.
During the short time that you two had been friends, Souichi quickly learned that if he ignored you long enough you’d give in to his request.
After a few seconds of silence passed, you suddenly got up from your seat.
A smile grew on Souichi’s face as you grabbed the sides of your chair and moved so that you would be sitting next to him.
It was just too easy with you.
“If you really want to know how this lollipop tastes so badly, then I’ll let you have a small taste.”
Souichi hummed victoriously and put his hand out as he waited for you to hand him a lollipop. However, you did something completely different instead.
Taking the lollipop out of your mouth, you licked it once, covering one side in your saliva. Brining the candy back to your lips, you spread the thick dark liquid around.
Souichi’s heart raced as he looked at your lips. They looked sticky and sparkled like a dark shade of lip gloss.
“This way you’ll be able to get a small taste without getting your teeth stained like me.”
Souichi continued to look at you with a slightly surprised expression. He didn’t know if you were messing with him or not. Giving him the lollipop that had been in your mouth seconds ago would have been alright with him. But telling him to taste the candy straight from your lips was completely unexpected.
“Fine. If you’re not serious about it then I’ll just…” Just as you ran your tongue over your lips once, Souichi yelled for you to stop.
Looking around the classroom, he made sure no one else was there. The doors were closed, and luckily since his classroom was on the 3rd floor, no one outside would be able to see what you two were about to do.
Turning his body back towards you, closed his eyes and pressed his lips against yours.
After a few seconds, he finally pulled back.
“…I don’t taste anything.” Souichi said in a confused voice as he licked his own lips.
“Yeah, that’s because I licked most of it off. Also, you were supposed to taste me, not kiss me…” You slyly smiled as the pale boy’s cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
Slipping the candy back into your mouth once more, you repainted your lips.
“But since I like you so much, I’ll give you one more chance..”
Souichi’s body tensed up at your sudden statement. You actually liked him back?
No way. You had to be teasing him again. There was no way you would be into him.
Right?…
“It’s now or never～” You cooed as you got slightly closer to the boy.
Souichi swallowed the liquid that had pooled in his mouth as he looked at the hand that held the lollipop. The ball of hard candy sparkled as you twirled the stick in between your fingers.
Fine. If you wanted him to taste you so badly. Then, that’s exactly what he’ll do.
Bringing his hands up to your cheeks, he held you in place as he moved his face closer to yours.
The lollipop you had in your hand dropped down onto the floor as he ran his tongue over your lips. You were obviously not expecting him to go through with this. He was honestly surprised by his own sudden action as well.
Your body tensed up as he repeated this action multiple times.
Confusion filled his mind as he tasted absolutely nothing.
Moving one hand to the back of your neck, he pushed for you to come closer.
You let out a small sound of surprise he kissed you again. His tongue quickly slipping in as he tried his best to taste the hidden flavor that tinted the inside of you. But no matter what he did, he couldn’t tell what flavor the lollipop was.
All he could taste was the nails that filled his own mouth.
He wanted to pull back from the kiss just for a brief second. So he could take the nails out, wash the metallic flavor out of his mouth with some water, and then try to do everything again. But his lips refused to disconnect from yours.
The sound of your kisses echoed in the empty classroom as things got more heated between the two of you.
Souichi felt his member twitch in his pants as you rested your hand on his leg.
He had heard countless rumors before as to why some people called you the lollipop queen. You would have to be a perverted idiot to believe them though. But now, Souichi was actually hoping they were true.
Bringing his hand down to yours, he guided you to move closer to the tent in his pants. Feeling how hard he was right now, you quickly went to work at undoing his pants.
“Souichi…” The boy hummed back as a response in between your kisses.
“Souichi… Are you asleep?...” Souichi opened his eyes and pulled back from the kiss.
“What did you just say?” He asked, looking at you with a confused expression. Your own face however was completely emotionless.
A small yelp escaped Souichi when what felt like a hand suddenly pressed up against his back.
Souichi’s eyes widened in shock as he pulled his head up from his desk.
“I’m sorry. You were making weird noises… Were you asleep?” You asked as you gave the boy a look of apology.
Souichi looked up at you once and then back down at his desk as he tried to understand what had just happened.
“It… was all a dream… That’s why I couldn’t taste--Ah!” He quickly moved his seat forward when he saw that he was sporting a more than obvious erection in his pants.
“You saw a dream? What was it about?” You asked, getting even closer to the raven-haired boy.
Souichi cursed himself for saying that aloud. You loved hearing about dreams and trying to analyze their hidden meanings.
However, there was no hidden meaning behind the dream he just had…
“Ahh…I forgot.” Souichi said, hoping you wouldn’t see right through his lie.
“Oh… That’s a shame…” You moved the lollipop around in your mouth as you changed the subject. “Anyways, I have something I would like to give you… Tadaa!!” Moving the hand you had hidden behind your back towards the boy, you presented him with a dark-red lollipop.
“After 23 failed experiments and having to taste my own blood for 4 days straight, I finally perfected ‘The Blood Lollipop’～.” Souichi gave you a nervous smile as you handed him the one-of-a-kind gift.
“Although it’s ‘blood flavored’ I mixed it with a lot of sugar and other stuff so it would actually taste edible. Plus, I made it in a way so that your teeth won’t get stained like mine. Haha.” You took the lollipop you had out of your mouth as you spoke.
Souichi’s smile completely disappeared as he looked upon its color.
Black.
“Now, you better not get any weird ideas after eating this. Drinking someone’s blood is very dangerous so……” Your voice faded into the background as Souichi’s mind wandered back to his dream. His eyes kept moving from the lollipop you waved in the air to your light-grey lips.
He knew he should be acting more grateful for the amazing gift you had just presented him with. But honestly, there was nothing more he wanted to do now than taste the flavor of the lollipop that lingered on your lips.
