Taste

This was the very first Popslash I ever wrote - for this challenge on [livejournal.com profile] sky_pie. Posting it here partly because I want a record that I wrote it, and partly because I'm submitting it for [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100. So:

Summary: Joey has good tastebuds.
Warnings: Boybands, RPF.
Also: Unbeta'd.

Taste

Joey can taste Justin's mouth for most of the rest of the day.

It's the Coke, sweet and a little bit tangy, from the bottle he's been sipping from, slumped against the window, for a half-hour. It's the bit of residual fizz on the tongue, although he may have imagined that. It's the chicken under that, Southern-fried, from the lunch they shared: laughing, stealing each other‘s fries. It's sugar and salt, all mixed together with Justin's taste; all kinds of bad for you, every time Joey licks his lips.

It's their relationship, summed up on the tip of his tongue.
