Food for Thought
The two boys were giggling softly, glancing at each other, back to the subject of their mirth, and then laughing again. Occasionally they would catch their breaths, but for the most part they were content to just watch. Asuka Jr. happened upon them by accident, the rustle of the bush betraying their well-chosen hiding place. After observing them for several minutes, he came to the conclusion that they were up to no good, though of what kind he couldn’t imagine, and approached them. That they were watching someone, or something, was apparent, but what he couldn’t guess at. He silently tapped them on the shoulders, causing the guilty parties to jump in alarm, then run away in the direction he had come from. Asuka Jr. watched them go, and then curiosity made him crouch down to see what they had been looking at.
At a picnic table, not twenty feet away, Haneoka Meimi sat reading a book.
She appeared to be alone, and there was no sign of her having been otherwise. He wondered what could have so caught their attention when Haneoka picked up something from the table, and absently moved it toward her mouth.
It was a chocolate Pocky.
As he watched, her lips slowly parted, and the moist pink of her tongue could be seen. He caught his breath. Her lips, rolled to a small circle to accept the slim cookie, were a deep red, soft looking, and totally arresting. As he watched, she slid the small stick into her mouth, slowly, totally unaware of anything but her book. The fullness of her bottom lip gently indented where the cookie pressed, and her head sank a little, moving to accept the cookie, and then she snapped it off. Asuka Jr. gasped. She chewed slowly, still intent upon the book. Asuka Jr. carefully sank down onto his knees to see her better.
The hand that held the cookie hovered near her mouth. He watched in wonder as her ruby lips again parted, the cookie slipped in, bit by bit, only to be pulled out and used as a pointer in some portion of the book. Asuka Jr. nearly lost his balance, so far forward had he leaned, moving with the cookie. Haneoka again brought the morsel to her mouth, and rubbed the smooth chocolate along her lower lip before easing it slowly into her mouth. Closing his eyes, and clamping both hands over his mouth, Asuka Jr. managed to not moan. He wondered how many cookies she had left, and how unlikely it was that he would be able to walk away from this spot any time soon. She chewed carefully, her eyes on the page before her, one hand groping for the package. She held it up to remove the next one and he thought he saw two others. Only three to go.
Haneoka’s hand again rose to her mouth. Giving himself over to the pleasure she was indirectly providing Asuka Jr. watching with growing…interest.
Again Haneoka curled her lips into a small circle as the cookie gently eased in. She dropped her hand, turning the page, leaving the Pocky sticking out from her pursed lips. She then caught the cookie between her thumb and forefinger and began twisting it. Leisurely, she drew it out, dragging her teeth along the softened chocolate. Asuka Jr. felt his own teeth clench. She pulled the final inch out and inspected her handy work. He could just see the raw stripes her teeth had left. Haneoka smiled, placed the cookie back, and resumed twisting it in her mouth until the end of the cookie was clean of chocolate. After this she quickly ate it. Asuka Jr. was almost relieved. The next one, however, was to do him in.
Her hand again sought her mouth as Haneoka held the cookie horizontally across her lips. As he watched she began to draw it back and forth, enjoying both the smoothness of the coating, and its smell. Her eyes rolled closed and she smiled. He had to close his eyes for a second to keep his balance. When his mind stopped reeling he opened his eyes and could see the darkening line of chocolate this process was leaving on her dark red lips. Her lips parted, and the tip of her tongue emerged to draw the cookie in. With a silent groan Asuka Jr. painfully sat down. Haneoka licked her lips, opened her mouth wide and drew a finger along the sides of her lips, removing any remaining chocolate. When it reached the center of her lower lip she popped it in her mouth and sucked it clean.
Asuka Jr.’s mind went blank.
When he opened his eyes again, she was gone. He heaved a sigh and slowly rose to his feet. He thought about how he had come to be here, and wondered how many others had gone through what he just experienced. With a smile he headed home.
