Dee leaned casually against the wall surrounding the camel enclosure, bare forearms resting on the warm stone. Beside him, Ryo was still sipping from an almost empty bottle of soda. It was probably warm by now, which was why Dee had finished his ages ago.
Nudging his lover with his shoulder, Dee grinned. “One hump or two?”
“What?” Unsurprisingly, Ryo’s cheeks flushed pink.
“I can never remember which kind of camel is which.” That wasn’t really what Dee had been talking about, he’d deliberately been trying to make Ryo blush, and had succeeded, but sometimes it was fun to pretend he hadn’t been thinking about sex.
“Oh, um… Bactrian have two humps, the Dromedary has one.”
Glancing at the gorgeous man beside him, Dee asked, “How come you know all this stuff?”
“Countless zoo visits and even more nature documentaries.” Ryo finished his soda and tucked the empty bottle into his backpack with Dee’s. He’d take them home and put them in the recycling.
“You’re like an encyclopaedia of trivia. Whatever I wanna know, I just haveta ask you.” Dee grinned wickedly. “If I was a camel, I’d wanna be a Bactrian. Two humps gotta be better than one.” He winked at his partner.
“Dee!” Ryo’s face heated up again. “Don’t say things like that! Not in public!”
“Relax, babe; no one’s listenin’ to us. C’mon, let’s go see what else there is.”
They meandered on through the zoo, not in any hurry, viewing giraffes, elephants, monkeys, lions, and tigers. They watched sea lions being fed, admired brightly colored tropical birds, marvelled at giant tortoises plodding about, screwed up their noses at the smell wafting from the porcupines…
“I wouldn’t wanna be one of those,” Dee mused.
“Me neither; they stink.”
“Forget the smell; havin’ sex would be seriously hazardous!”
