lil edit if you saw this beforehand no you didn’t 💗
“how. the hell. can you eat that ?”
your boyfriend slowly stop licking at his spoon, glancing at you. who has been stuck in that same position, looking at him with that same disgusted look for a hot minute now.
“it’s good.” he shrug, dipping his spoon in his chocolate fudge ice cream for another spoonful. “your ice cream’s melting.”
“you’re fucking crazy.” you say it with no emotion, slowly blinking at him like he actually went insane. he huffs loudly, talking with another spoonful in his mouth “then why didn’t you say anything about it when you went to get it for me at the store ?”
without looking away, you dips your spoon in your own ice cream and shove it in your mouth, a simple cookie dough flavor. a classic, a good flavor. “because i was hoping, that when i came back here with chocolate ice cream you’d correct me and tell me that wasn’t the one you wanted and i’d heard you wrong over the phone..and yet here you are.” katsuki snorts rolling his eyes, shoving you with his shoulder. you squeal, almost dropping your tub of ice cream and glaring at him. he sends you a side glance and a smirk.
“you’re such a loser.”
“at least i don’t like chocolate ice cream” you gag.
he rolls his eyes “you fuckin’ chew your ice cream, and you act like i’m the weird one.”
“you do it too !”
“shut up.”
katsuki shovels another spoonful, leaning towards you as you back away. he chuckles “want some ‘a mine ?”
“ ugh, no !” you yell revolted. “get that away from me.”
“c’mon, ‘m sharin’ witcha.”
“katsuki, i’m so serious !” he snickers, getting the spoon in his mouth before it melts and splatters on the couch, as much as he loves to annoy you he hates making a mess. the way he has the nerve to hum after tasting it has you scrunching your face up.
“lemme get some of yours then.”
“nuh, uhn ! i don’t want your nasty chocolate residue on my spoon ! either you get another one or nothing for you.”
“you’re so dramatic.” he complains, but stalks towards the kitchen to get himself another spoon. he hums when the taste hits his tongue.
“see ? this is good ice cream.” you nod to yourself, katsuki flicks your forehead teasingly muttering a “dumbass.”
most foods humans can eat that dogs cannot are down to how incredibly large humans are, they are toxic to us too. Most, not all. If the dog boys are in fact human sized then they can have a little spicy toxin as a treat.
Anyway they don't have chocolate because they live in fuckin' renaissance Italy.
thinking thoughts about geto swallowing a curse that involves feelings of lust and suffering from unexpected side effects that leave him drenched in sweat and his boxers far too tight. and what can reader do except oblige in helping him…cool down
But what if Humans are Deathworlders because we have a Liver and Kidneys? Two organs specifically designed to remove or convert toxins.
Mary and S'vren walk around Little Earth after the evening meal. Mary walks at a careful steady pace to be nice to S'vren, and tries not to just plow ahead so they can talk. Mary explains the Liver and Kidneys to S'vren after she complains that Human food looks delicious, but is all deadly.
S'vren: "Wait what? You have an organ that removes toxins from things you consume?"
Mary: "Two actually. The liver converts toxins we consume into safe(er) compounds we can either metabolize or pass through the kidneys who filter our blood."
S'vren: "So all your Deathworld plants have toxins in them..."
Mary slightly miffed: "Not all of them, but many. But yes, they have toxins to stop other things in nature from eating them."
S'vren: "But you can eat them just fine."
Mary: "Yeah, because of the liver and kidneys...and methods of preparation that reduce the toxins. Even humans shouldn't eat raw cassava."
S'vren stops: "Why, what happens if you eat raw cassava?"
Mary: "Cyanide poisoning, I think. It's not pleasant."
S'vren continues, frantic: "If I eat grapes I will die. If I eat POTATOES - something that your history says was integral to the survival of your species on multiple occasions - I. will. die. If I eat chocolate - something you yourself have waxed poetic to ME on multiple occasions about - I. Will. Die."
Mary: "Wait, you'll die if you eat chocolate?"
S'vren: "IT'S FULL OF TOXINS"
Mary: "Huh. I never knew."
S'vren: "It's because instead of not eating them your bodies evolved a complex mechanism to just..not care and eat them anyway!!"
