Sesshoumaru watched with intent golden eyes across the fire as Rin opened her mouth wide and popped another smore into her mouth whole. With happy contentment glowing on her face in the firelight, she smacked her way through the large gooey mess until she swallowed the last bit. Raising her fingers to her sugary, sticky lips, she attempted to lick the pale remains of marshmallow from them.

He decided abruptly that enough was enough. With expert grace he waded through the plethora of half finished packages of chocolate, marshmallows, and gram crackers and caught her wrist in his long, clawed fingers. He ignored her expression of surprise as he dipped his head and sucked her fingers into his mouth. Holding her wrist captive lest she get away, he used the mobile agility of his longer tongue to reach every last little bit of sweet stickiness that clung to her skin.

Seating himself beside her without ceasing his ministrations, he reached out and found her other hand as he finished the first. Only after he had licked each clean did he pin her with a hungry, speculative stare. Catching hold of her chin between finger and thumb, he turned her face towards the fire.

“You have it here too,” he murmured as he leaned in, caressing her face with long lingering sweeps of his tongue as he removed the bits of sugar that had stuck to her.

He paused at the corner of her mouth, toying with the little hollow before sliding the tip along her plump lower lip in search of more.

Stunned by the peculiarity of his actions, Rin recovered enough of her wits that when his tongue teased the delicate curve of her upper lip, she turned her face to his and kissed him in earnest. Their kiss tasted of the sinful dark richness of chocolate, the sugary airy sweetness of marshmallow, the crumbling cookie crunch of gram crackers.

“Mmm,” she purred approvingly as he leaned back and eyed her with satisfaction. Blushing under his gaze, she busied herself with sticking another marshmallow on her roasting stick.

“I'm having another,” she chattered, filling the silence between them, “Would you like one?”

His gold eyes shifted to eye the extra marshmallow in her hand, and she quickly placed it beside her own on the stick before he could snatch it from her fingers.

“No eating the marshmallows first! You're supposed to eat them with the cracker and chocolate!” she admonished him as she busied herself positioning the stick over a likely tongue of flame. From the corner of her eye, she caught a blurred motion as one of her bits of chocolate disappeared off of its foil wrapper. She gave a long slow blink, almost missing the theft of a cracker and a marshmallow in the process. She glared at him as he gave a guilty crunch, refusing to meet her eyes as he acted nonchalant.

“I saw that!” she scolded as she scooted the rest of her little hoard out of his reach. “No more for you! You have to wait until your smore is done!”

Not bothering to hide it any more, he finished chewing his stolen bites and waited impatiently for her to let him have more. He was such a picture of unrepentant, expectant eagerness despite his attempt to appear stoic that she could not help but laugh.

“You have a sweet tooth, don't you?” she exclaimed as she turned the stick to brown the marshmallows all the way around. “Don't worry then, I'll have your smore ready in no time!”

With her back turned to him, she hurriedly fixed the two smores. She turned back, only to be startled into almost dropping the smore in her hands as his nearness surprised her. Apparently, he had leaned in to peer over her shoulder and the suddenness of her own movements had startled him as well. It was a testament to his quick instincts as he caught his prize in the cradle of his outstretched hands on reflex. Applauding his good catch, she watched with disbelief as the entire smore vanished in two gulps and he fussily licked his fingers clean.

“More?” she asked wryly, not missing the way he was eyeing her own smore with unconcealed hunger. Without further comment she handed it over, expecting him to snarf it down too.

Instead, with delicate precision, he sliced it in two, downing the bigger half as he offered her a tiny chunk balanced on the tip of his finger. With her eyes never leaving his face, she leaned over and sucked the bit off his finger, chewing the bite delicately before swallowing. Again he repeated the process, offering her another chunk as he watched her with a kind of heated hunger that had nothing to do with food. Her tongue lingered long enough to pick up the crumbs that lingered on his fingertip as she took the bit the second time. Slow and teasingly, he fed her the half of the smore left, until all that remained was the bite left on his palm. Bending over to snatch up the chunk, Rin held it enticingly between her lips as her eyes invited him to come share it with her.

Unable to resist, he leaned in and sealed his lips over hers, seizing the piece between his molars as he leisurely licked the inside of her mouth clean. She made a noise of protest when he quickly crushed and swallowed the last pieces, but as the taste of chocolate and gram cracker and marshmallow lingered to sweeten their kiss, she forgave him.

Her mirth escaped in a choked giggle as she watched him eye the sugar behind her with blatant longing. Without being asked, she set about making more and was careful to put as many marshmallows as would fit on the stick. Setting him up with a generous five to her one, she was able to finish her treat relatively unmolested until he went after her fingers again. The kiss that followed quickly silenced any protest she might have made, and it was with playful delight that they finished out the rest of her smores stash.
