FB3X Drabble Cascade #132 word of week: "Osmosis"

Title: In Pursuit of Knowledge (PG, m/m, paranormal)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100

A miasma of temptation permeated the glade and Lionel watched a mist wend its way between the trees' trunks towards him, feeling his cock harden. He should rise and throw more wood on the fire, he thought, not taking his eyes off what approached and missed the slow seeping of knowledge into him.

“Don’t go in there,” Edwin warned. “Lost someone from my village in The Devil’s Dell. He’s one of Satan’s Paramours now; spends his time in the city’s brothels, opening his mouth and spreading his legs wide. He’s damned good at his corrupting ways. I often visit him.”

That was me. I'm tired after a day of 1st Birthday celebrations.

Did you know that they make Smush Cakes for Birthday Parties. Made for the small child to smush with small hands and fingers. White fluffy icing decorated with piped swirls around the rim on the top, no food coloring because some little peoples shouldn't have those. And then there's the cake for everyone else which I didn't have any of either.

Birthday boy didn't smush his but tentatively touched it with 'A' finger. His mommy had to take his finger and scoop up a dollop of frosting and then stick it in his mouth. First bite of cake and icing. First bite of ice cream. He's a very dainty eater. Not much mess.

Yes, I know they do - I was quite suprised the first time I saw workmates posting piccies of it on facebook. I do wonder what the point is - yes, it's funny, but if you want a messy child to laugh at give them paint, or mud, or the left over bowl of frosting. Also, in NZ at least, it's very disrespectful to ruin and play with food like that (it's a Maori culture thing, but totally relevant still today given how many people are living under the poverty line) so I also wonder how Maori feel about it.

Also:

There was an amused tickle in Drew's mind, and a faint compulsion to pick the small lizard - salamander - up.

That gave him pause - Ren was *tiny*. Drew could easily crush him, or break those small limbs, or worst of all - accidentally pull his tail off. That had happened to Ren once, and Ren still wore the scars of it. Drew shuddered.

And he'd never get his fingers into the rose to pluck Ren out without ruining the bloom . . .

Drew tried not to sputter as an image of another kind of 'bloom' being 'plucked' floated across his mind.

"Is that a promise?"

An affirmative, and a more insistent request to be picked up.

In the end, Drew pulled out his utility scissors and snipped the flower from the bush - a completely innocent action from the viewpoint of his diners. He gently upended the rose over his outstretch hand, and chuckled as the small salamander tumbled out and stretched sinuously on the middle of his palm.

Another faint compulsion - this time to put Ren in a pocket. Drew complied, safely tucking his lover into the chest pocket of his chef's whites. He felt the salamander wriggle around, getting comfortable, only a small bulge visible in Drew's tunic.

And that's where Ren stayed for the rest of the lunch service, tucked up in Drew's pocket while he cooked, laying snugly right over Drew's heart.

Right where he should be.

(I took a liberty - chef's whites don't usually have chest pockets).

"Pssst. Honey. The guy in the chef costume is talking to the flowers."

"Well evidently whatever the flower answered got it picked," his companion answered in amusement.

"So you don't mind that the chef is probably crazy and might have poisoned us with his creations?"

His companion scooped up a spoonful of his dessert putting it in his mouth and moaned, "what a way to go."

"That's it. Waiter, please box up the rest of our desserts, we'll take them to go," and readjusted himself in his suddenly too tight pants.

Ren would like to point out that it's the salamander that makes the desserts, not the crazy chef guy.

Hehehehe.

Ah but the two diners don't know who made the desserts, they're just taking them home for some moaningly recreational eating.
