He quite nearly spit out the strawberry out of his mouth. Instead he swallowed, hard, and thanked his lucky stars he had actually managed to chew the large bite of strawberry into smaller bits that didn't choke him when he did. That would have been bad. And embarrassing. And oh Zach wasn't going to think about it. He was going to chew. From now on. He bit the remainder of the strawberry into his mouth.
Swallowing again, Zach really wasn't sure if there was anything he could say to that. And the wink, the wink!, he certainly couldn't think about that. Because oh, if Ernie had only chosen to let his eyes wander over - no, he was not going to finish that thought. And thank Merlin Ernie had chosen bacon and not something more...phallic.
"They're...juicy," Zach finally said, probably far too late to really do any good. But he decided to just try to concentrate on eating the food. And glancing over at Ernie when Ernie wasn't looking. That was better than looking anywhere that way when Ernie was looking at him. Probably. Safer bet. But damn it that was hard. A bed was only so large. And they were eating from the same tray.
