"Okay, try this one next."
Bee opens their mouth to recieve the spoon of flavoured honey, humming happily and kicking their feet against the kitchen counter where theyre perched.
This spoonful is somehow both savoury and sweet thanks to whatever herb Topaz used to flavour it.
It wasn't their personal favourite but it was still quite nice, would probably be good to glaze a fish or to drizzle on a sandwich.
"Hearth to Bee!" Topaz snickers, tapping the spoon against their partner's nose to bring them back from their thoughts.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry! It's good, would be yummy on that sandwich you made the other day."
Topaz snickers fade into a thoughtful smile, "Y'know, I was just thinking the same thing!"
Topaz puts down their spoon but instead of getting a spoonful from the next jar they just stare at Bee.
Bee's face flushes at the attention, tail tip thumping on the counter.
"Is- Is there something on my face?" They ask, chuckling nervously.
"Yeah, actually. You got a 'lil something right-" Topaz leans forward and plants a wet kiss right on the tip of Bee's nose where the spoon had made contact, "-there."
Bee giggles, and pushes Topaz away so they can wipe the honey away themself.
Though before Topaz as a chance to lean away fully Bee grabs their face, squishing their cheeks with their palms and planting sticky-lipped kisses all over the bee-keeper's face.
"Eugh! Noooo gwoss!" Topaz laughs, words mumbly from their lips being smushed, "'Yer all stikwy!!"
They push weakly at Bee's chest, though they don't truly struggle- clearly enjoying the kisses despite their protests.
Bee finishes their retaliation with one final kiss on Topaz's lips.
It's soft and sweet- literally.
When Bee's tongue is granted access after a lick across Topaz's bottom lip they let the bee-keeper taste the honey still lingering on their tongue.
The playfulness of the moment fades, turning into something quieter before they finally part.
Bee nuzzles the side of Topaz's nose and smiles into their cheek.
"Y'know. I value your taste tests, Bee," Topaz laughs softly, "but how have I never thought about taste testing the taste tester? It's incredibly…Insightful."
"Mhm? Well then, maybe we should test another one?"
Bee smirks as they reach for the next jar of honey and presses it into Topaz's chest who doesnt hesitate to crack it open.
"Heheh... Maybe we should."
