Author's Notes: I have this thing when I want to write where I go through my interests on my LJ and write little stories. Crack jellies were the inspiration.

Pairing: Shane/Brant
Written: 2005
There was always a bit of adventure when Shane checked the cabinets after Brant had been to the Asian market. He never quite knew what he was going to find. There was the usual stuff: pocky and mochi, botan rice candy and HiChew. Then there was the stuff that Shane simply had no idea.
Like the giant clear plastic jar with no label and the words "Crack Jellies" written across the lid in with a Sharpie. There seemed to be individually wrapped... things in the plastic jar. Shane shook the jar, but the things were all labeled in Japanese.
"Brandt?"
"What?" The voice came from the other side of the apartment. Shane debated calling again, but figured his next question would bring Brandt to the kitchen.
"What are these things in the jar?" Shane yelled. There was a pause.
"What jar?" That sounded like it was closer than the last. Brandt was heading towards him.
"The big plastic jar in the cupboard," Shane clarified. Brandt chose that moment to come into the kitchen, so Shane stopped yelling. "The one marked 'Crack Jellies.'"
"OH! Do you want one?" Brandt asked. He bounced over to Shane, all smiles and eagerness. Of course he was eager. Brandt was forever trying to get him interested in anything Japan.
"I don't even know what they are!"
"Lychee jellies. And before you ask, lychee is a type of fruit. There's a cube of fruit inside the jelly. You take off the wrapper and suck out the jelly," Brandt said. Shane shouldn't be surprised. It made sense that the only way Brandt would eat fruit was if it was incased in sweets.
"Fruit in jelly. Why is labeled crack jellies?"
"Because you can't stop at just one." Brandt reached into the jar, pulled one out, and pealed off the label. "Try one? Please? Just suck out the inside from the plastic."
Sometimes it didn't hurt to humor Brandt. He took the jelly, and attempted to suck it out. His cheeks hollowed, and Brandt was watching him with that grin that meant he was thinking dirty thoughts. Pervert. Eventually the jelly came loose. Shane chewed thoughtfully.
"Well?"
"You're right. I'd like another."
