Chapter 4

Darren smirked and stilled his hands, letting the ripples gradually lessen and die away. Daniel let out an unconcious sigh of relief and slid his way across to the other side of the pool, trying to buy some time to regain his composure. Darren watched him go but just dove under the jello's surface without a word, indulging in some under-dessert acrobatics.

Daniel reached the pool's edge and floated there, observing Darren slipping through the green like some sort of pale seal. He couldn't help but quirk his lips into a small smile; for all that Darren could be klutzy in the normal course of life, it was moments like this where he was reminded that Darren possesed an amount of innate grace. Daniel let his eyes linger on the pleasing movements of Darren's swimming, it looked so smooth and effortless, with Darren every so often popping his head up to catch his breath like a dolphin. Daniel leaned on the cement edge for a moment longer, then couldn't help but join Darren, it looked like he was having fun!

The jello parted easily enough before his movements, and soon he was within touching distance of Darren, who paused long enough to give Daniel a curious glance. Daniel merely took a breath and ducked his head under, feeling the slippery substance slide over his face and body. After a moment, Darren resumed his cavorting and the two were soon immensed in a sort of syncronized horseplay, slipping around each other in quick bursts. One time they just about slid into each other, both of them making abortive movements and ending up slipping right over each other. Skin, made smooth like silk by jello, slid over skin, and Daniel heard a muffled, hysterical giggle burst from Darren as the singer squirmed away.

Eventually both men wore themselves out and emerged to the surface of the middle of the pool, side by side. Daniel grinned at the slightly panting Darren, whose cheeks were a little ruddy from the workout. Darren gave him a slightly wild look before grinning back.

"Look at us Darren, swimming in an oversized tub of jello. This is so bizarre." Daniel commented laughingly.

"Welcome to the life of a rockstar - limited only by your imagination."

"Yeah, and then some." Daniel chuckled and made a neat little circle on the jello's surface with a finger. He gingerly picked up the wobbling bit and considered it.

"Man, we normally eat this stuff, Darren, not swim in it!"

Darren laughed arabbrabbed the jello bit from Daniel. He placed it in both hands and took an enthusiastic bite out of it. Daniel started laughing in turn, finding the sight of Darren munching on the jello chunk hilarious. Darren slurped noisily and caught a bit of escaping jello from his soft lips with a nimble tongue.

"That's got to be unsanitary."

Darren shrugged unconcernedly and swallowed.

"Tastes fine to me. Wait, there is a strange undercurrent to the lime...kinda salty....hmmm"

Without any warning, Darren slid forward and grabbed Daniel's shoulder, bending his head and giving his shoulder a good, long lick. Daniel froze at the first feeling of Darren's warm tongue rasping up his shoulder, regarding the singer with complete and utter shock. Darren smacked his lips together, a thoughtful expression on his face as he licked his lips carefully.

"Yep, that's it. Sweat."

Daniel blinked eyes that must have been all whites, still held in shock by what Darren had just done. Darren caught his lingering expression and chuckled under his breath, an evil-sounding laugh.

"Did you just *lick* me??" Daniel asked incredulously, his voice cracking on the last word.

"All for scientific discovery, my dear Jonesy." Darren smirked again, his gaze lazily mischivous.

"But you *licked me!*"

Darren rolled his eyes heavenward and sighed.

"Theatrics are my forte Daniel, if you insist on having a tantrum, at *least* try to do it properly. You aren't stamping your feet or *anything!*" Darren's mocking words shook Daniel out of his stupor and the guitarist seemed to come back to earth.

"I was *not* throwing a tantrum!" Daniel protested, sloshing himself from side to side. Darren's smirk grew rather large and satisfied.

"You were just surprised by my hithero-unknown skill at licking weren't you?"

"No! I-" Darren wouldn't let Daniel try to reply.

"Oh, I know that you are just pretending that you were shocked, cos I know that you secretly find my sense of curiousity amusing."

"What, I-"

"Oh, are you saying you find it *more* than amusing?" Darren voiced purred at him smugly, as the singer glided forward, hand under chin in another mocking pose. His blue eyes flashed innocently as Daniel growled under his breath. Darren had effectively trapped him in a snarl of sentences where mutltiple meanings all tanlged together.

*Why you little....*
