Discriminating Palate
by Rana Eros
"Tsuzuki deserves some sugar," someone said, and then the theme of "tea" came up on fuda_100. The rest is drabbled. Betaed by Eliza.
Tsuzuki doesn't see the point of having tea without something sweet too. He likes pastries best, likes the contrast in texture as well as taste, likes the way the tea makes even the most subtle flavor sweeter. Without that contrast, he finds tea too bitter, the aftertaste lingering unpleasantly.
Hisoka disagrees.
"I don't want any."
"But it's good!"
"Then you should be happy to eat it yourself."
"I like to share with my partner."
Hisoka rolls his eyes, but accepts a bite. "There. Baka."
Hisoka contrasts with both tea and pastry, delicate and wild.
Tsuzuki likes to taste his variations.
