âHey,â he says. He takes a breath, and then another, feeling warm all over. âYuuri, I really â I really want to kiss you right now.â
Yuuri flushes darkly and his eyes grow wide, and he lets out a little involuntary noise of surprise that Viktor wants to live inside. Thereâs a few moments where neither of them move, where Viktor nearly regrets it, because he feels like heâs just tumbled over the edge of a cliff blind and itâs terrifying â but then Yuuri turns his head a few degrees and presses his cheek into Viktorâs hand and closes his eyes, and Viktor has to close his eyes too and swallow against the feeling of Yuuriâs warm breath on his skin and the heat of his cheek on the pad of his thumb.
âMay I? Kiss you?â
âYes,â Yuuri breathes, and then he presses up onto the balls of his feet and his hands curl into the collar of Viktorâs yukata, holding onto him like heâs afraid Viktor will back away. Viktor wants to laugh, because thatâs ridiculous â why would Viktor ever want to back away from this? He slides his fingers into the hair at the nape of Yuuriâs neck instead and drags him closer, until heâs incapable of smelling anything but the warm sandalwood scent of Yuuri, until heâs incapable of seeing anything but the pink of his cheeks and the expanding pools of his pupils, until heâs incapable of feeling anything but the heat of Yuuriâs body seeping in through their clothes.
He kisses Yuuri gently, first on the corner of his mouth and then in the middle, and uses the hand not tangled in Yuuriâs hair to tip his head just so, fingers skimming along the strong bone of his jaw and down to his chin where his thumb rests. Yuuri inhales sharply through his nose at that and presses in harder, mouth parted enough for Viktor to taste the toothpaste heâd used earlier. His glasses dig in a bit uncomfortably but Viktor would never dream of asking him to stop because Yuuri is warm and vibrant and perfect .
Viktor drags the tip of his nose alongside Yuuriâs as he pulls away, and watches the flutter of Yuuriâs eyelashes as he comes back into focus. He wonders how he will ever stop kissing Katsuki Yuuri now that heâs started.
âOkay?â he checks. His thumb sweeps across the fullness of Yuuriâs cheek when Yuuri licks his lips.
