Drabble #2: Margarita Salt

[profile] lillynn stumped me in the Whofic meme, so I wrote a drabble for her. She requested something with "10's oral fixation, and something vaguely intoxicating with a humorous possibly embarrassing outcome." Here you go, dear. This was fun.

This references an incident discussed in chapter six of The Hidden Well, in which the Doctor doesn't tell Rose that the sweet she's enjoying is actually caramelized, fermented insect larvae.  (Eww.)

--

The Doctor ran his tongue around the lip of the glass. He pulled a terrible face and stuck his tongue out, attempting to get it as far away from him as possible.

Rose laughed and took a sip of her own drink, which was tart and faintly sweet, and yes, salty.

"Never had a margarita before?"

He glared at the offending crystals coating the rim of glass. "Salt?" he whinged. "A frozen, fruity drink, and you put salt in it?" He smacked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.

She had her revenge for the insect larvae, it seemed.

I had the mental image of the face he made after tasting the A positive blood in TCI when I wrote this. Heh. Glad you liked it.
