A challenge met...^_^

Jeanne: Lucky Tai has a safely dead lover and all he has to do is moon over him. Easy to be a universal seme when there's no-one there to respond to, say I. Now do me a little piece about Tai and Ash's domestic life together and let's see how Tai behaves.

(Ashura, dressed in a small French maid uniform, dusts the furniture and pictures diligently when he heard the front door open. He peered around the corner and breaks into a smile.)

Ash: You're home so early today, darling...

Tai: (Sets brief case down by the door and removes jacket as Ash comes to him) Just home for lunch.

Ash: (laces arms about Tai and kisses him) So what would you like?

Tai: What have you got time to make me?

Ash: (Presses self harder against Tai) Just something simple...(hands lowers to Tai's small of the back as he nibbles on Tai's lips)...with your favorite spread, of course....

Tai: Do we have some left? I mean, we used *alot* of it for breakfast.

Ash: Tell me about it--you left quite a mess on the table...

Tai: Heh heh heh...sorry.

Ash: Let's have lunch in the garden. We've not had it there for such a long time.

Tai: If you promise to let me make the drink and finish it this time.

Ash: (Frowns) Why do you always insist on making me your protein drinks? I told you I don't like them.

Tai: The doctor said you need a high protein in your diet, remember? And because you never eat anything else I make--

Ash: But that's the only thing you know how to make.

Tai: Well, yeah...but that's not the point. You'll get used to it. It's an acquired taste.

Ash: It's too thick.

Tai: You have to swallow it quick before it thickens.

Ash: (wails) It makes me gag.

Tai: (voice softens) Please? It'd make me very happy.

Ash: (looks hard at Tai for a few moments and sighs) Fine, fine.... just don't think about even offering it to me tonight, okay?

Tai: Only if you finish it. You know, it was quite upsetting to yours truly when you just ran to the sink and start spitting it out and spent half an hour rinsing out your mouth last time. Efforts went into that, you know.

Ash: Sorry...it won't happen again.

Tai: (takes Ash by waist and both starts to walk toward the kitchen) Oh yeah--the boss' coming over for dinner tonight.

Ash: (groans) You know I don't like that old man. He thinks he owns the world.

Tai: Yeah well, he's considering me for a promotion so please be nice to him huh?

Ash: And he's always wanting to go into my kitchen....and go rummaging through my drawers.

Tai: Oh, let him. The man loves to cook--and he's always admiring the way you arranged the kitchen.

Ash: (sighs) Just tell him to be careful, okay? He broke the oven last time sticking whatsisthing he had--you remember what happened.

Tai: Yeah, yeah--you wouldn't cook for me for nearly a week for "bringing that man into our house"...

Ash: As long as we have an understanding.

(They disappear around the corner into the kitchen)

Ash: Oh--can you feed the kittens while I get started?

Tai: Of course dear....

(Scene 2: In the garden in the backyard.)

Ash: I swear...the way you went thru that was if I never feed you or something.

Tai: (Mouthful) Mmmph....

Ash: Wipe your chin...and oh--you got some on your tie now...(shakes head) Maybe we ought to get you a bib next time.

Tai: (swallows) You haven't touched your drink.

Ash: (looks forelornly at the tall glass)....Later. (Rises) Do you want me to make you another sandwich?

Tai: Can ya? I'm still starving.

Ash: (collects and stacks the empty plates) Only if you were this ravaged when it comes to sex.

Tai: ^^;;;
