“ —— Well ..” Looking down toward their hands, he watched the other slowly begin to drop his own. Tetsuya gave a reassuring squeeze before stepping closer. A few inches apart now, glancing toward the other’s eyes for a moment. DIRECT smile resting on his features toward Kasanoda. Like everyone else in the syndicate, they were usually scared of the young lord in ways that were obvious. As for right now, he was only scared of being entirely rejected —- though because of being a rather BOLD and blunt person, deciding to just go for it and if the consequences would be bad then he’d just pretend like it never happened. “ —- It all DEPENDS on what you want.”
Yet, with inches apart, the dirty blonde PULLED himself closer and lightly tilted the head to let lips LINGER for such a moment, before directly giving a INEVITABLE kiss. The vivid love, suddenly sprouting like a late blooming flower — feeling the HEART jolt up to his throat while giving the other the kiss. Young lord’s lips were straight and stiff at first, a SLIM hope that Ritsu would soothe and melt, just as he knew he was.
Lids fluttered closed while continuing to understand why LOVE was ran by the HEART, that grotesque pumping organ — suddenly THREATENING to leap out of his chest. Thoughts were calm like listening to the melody of the piano keys or listening to the breeze while the birds sang. Other hand subconsciously REACHED to swathe fingers around fabric of the blue coat. Learning to LOVE each other well in these easy moments, the moment’s which made his palms sweaty. APPRECIATING every single that about the other male, because like a flower —- appreciating the beauty and love that you received was something rarely anyone did. Instead, they picked it and it ceases to be what people loved. NEVER
The heir had a response ready on the tip of his tongue when Tetsuya moved closer, but when their lips met, everything else faded into the background. His first kiss, as sudden and unexpected as the confession preceding it, and every bit as welcome.
He’d imagined this, though he wouldn’t dare confess to it. It was better than he’d hoped for.
Kasanoda’s shock-wide eyes closed as he settled into the kiss, like settling into bed after a long day. Familiar, comfortable, easy. Inexperienced or not, he’d love every moment of learning to navigate this new territory. A tentative hand lifted to cup Tetsuya’s cheek, opposite the hand clasped on his coat. The hand was worn rough from working in the garden, but the touch it offered couldn’t have been gentler.
Not yet satisfied when Tetsuya pulled back, the redhead chased another kiss. The returning kiss was uncoordinated, not quite as careful as Tetsuya’s had been, but clearly sincere. He lingered for a long moment before retreating on his own, a smile that bordered on giddy warming his expression.
“I want to. I mean, I want us to be--yeah. Together? A couple? However you want to say it, I want--you.” Punctuated with a nod, he leaned his forehead against the other’s. It wasn’t much, but he offered the words he had.
