Peanut Butter and Apples

"That is an abomination..."

"What the peanut butter?"

"No, the fact that you've eaten three apples straight without offering me any," Ryuk huffed.

(Y/n) chuckled and scratched their head.

"You know, you don't have to ask. You can just take the apples."

     They picked up a slice of green apple and slid it through the creamy peanut butter on their plate. Ryuk stared hard at the substance. Claws shining, he plucked an apple and bit into it's plush skin. (Y/n) munched onto their apple slice as well.

A moment of silence came between them.

"So," he spoke whilst chewing, "what is this peanut butter like?"

     (Y/n)'s eyes almost popped from their head in surprise. They choked on their food and coughed.

     When they got their air back, they shouted, "You don't know what the spread of the gods is!?!?"

     Ryuk shook his head. "They didn't have this in the shinigami realm?" he said quizzically.

The human sighed. "Just an expression, Ryuk."

     Using an apple slice, they scooped up a large amount of peanut butter and held it towards the shinigami's mouth.

"Eat first, explanation later."

     Ryuk shrugged and finished his first apple in one gulp. Then, he opened his jaws wide and (Y/n) popped the peanut butter slice into his mouth.

     The texture was sticky and creamy. However, it blended well with the apple. His mouth began to stick. He didn't know if he liked this substance, but it was very interesting.

     (Y/n) offered the plate of apples and peanut butter to the shinigami with a smile. "Do you like it? Would you like some more?"

Are they trying to poison me or something? They look way too innocent.

Or they're just being a decent person...

He narrowed his golden eyes in suspicion.

The human shrugged and placed the plate back on the bed.

"Do you mind if I put on some anime?" they asked.

Ryuk shook his head.

Soon the sounds of funky mystery music filled the apartment.

Despite that his favorite anime was on, Ryuk couldn't stop staring at the dolup of peanut butter on the plate.

     Whilst Ryuk was having a midlife crisis, (Y/n) was thoroughly enjoying the murders of high school students on the screen. They clenched their sweater tightly in their fists as the investigation of a new murder began.

"Hey, Ryuk, hon, you're gonna miss the investigation! This time the person who died was..."

(Y/n) turned to find the apples devoured and the plate being licked by a wide eyed Ryuk.

The human and shinigami stared at each other with concern.

(Y/n) picked up the remote and paused the anime before asking, "Why are you licking the plate?"

Ryuk gave the dish one last lick before setting it back down on the bedspread.

"I was, um, experimenting..."

Uh...

No you were gorging yourself, there's a difference.

"Peanut butter with apples is great but apples by themselves are better and I was seeing if peanut butter by itself was better too," Ryuk explained.

(Y/n) snorted in amusement.

They hopped off the bed and clamored into the kitchenette. After a minute of rummaging through the cabinets, they emerged with a large jar of peanut butter.

Ryuk began to drool.

"Oh, my dearest, you are the most perfect beimg in the human realm."

(Y/n) blushed and laughed.

"I'm guessing your new love is for peanut butter?"

Ryuk shook his head furiously.

"Apples and you, (Y/n), will be in my heart forever. Nothing can change that. However..."

He unscrewed the lid of the jar and dipped a hand in. The shinigami raised his fingers to his mouth and began to lick of the creamy and sweet substance.

"...this is only a brief affair."

(Y/n)'s face burned. They opened their mouth but no words could form.

They never once though in their lifetime that they'd be jealous of peanut butter...
