wanted to write something with toasty (and my oc? unnamed oc, basically a self insert) based on this robo ask. i’m not fluent in english so i’m sorry for any mistakes. thank you if you read it <3
toaster’s concerned voice brings me back to reality. i realize i had been lost in thought for a while now. the private boat he had rented for us is sailing slowly through the river and we are side by side on the outside deck seats, resting after having dinner under candle lights.
“i am! sorry, the view is just so beautiful,” i say, eyes still on it. the city lights reflect in the water, dancing, as dusk paints the sky a hazy pink.
“but…?” he says with a smile. he knows me so well by now.
“it’s just… i’m not really used to private boats.“ i realize how that sounds and shift on the seat to look at him. “doesn’t mean i don’t like it, of course. i loved the dinner, the candles, the gifts, everything. thank you so very much,” he gives me a small smile. “but it’s… new, and i’m still in awe. it’s the first time i’ve been somewhere as fancy as this.”
he takes my hand and kisses my knuckles. i blush, and so does he. it had only been a few days since we had met face-to-face and we are still getting used to showing affection like this.
“i get it,” he says. he doesn’t let go of my hand. i put my head on his shoulder. “i’m sorry, i guess i got a little carried away.”
“alright, maybe more than a little,” he says, and i laugh. “but you can’t blame me, i… can’t help it, i guess? i can’t, with you here.”
i bury my face in his shoulder.
“you… you deserve all this and more,” he says. “fuck, it was so frustrating when we were so far away from each other and i couldn’t give you all this,” his thumb caresses my fingers. “but um, is it okay? if i want to keep spoiling you?”
i close my eyes. i’m glad he can’t see the way my eyes tear up.
“yeah, i might be able to get used to it,” i tease, “rich boy.”
he laughs, and my stomach is filled with butterflies.
almost unconsciously, i shift my body to face him, placing my legs on his lap. i feel him tense a little; it’s probably the first time we are so close, my body against his side, my head resting on his shoulder. i’m so aware of his body heat, his breathing, his every movement, and i love
the way i fit next to him. if i look up, there’ll be so little distance between our faces it makes me dizzy, so i look down at our hands in my lap instead. slowly, i intertwine my fingers with his. our hands are still slow and hesitant, and i can feel the blood rushing through my veins with each touch.
“just so you know,” i say, almost in a whisper, “i love everything you give me, but what i love the most, is you.”
there’s a pause. he squeezes my hand. “i love you, too, so much.”
i sigh happily, replaying those words in my head. i feel so warm inside, and somehow the view looks even lovelier. the only thing i can hear is the water against the boat, and my own heart.
“i was… i was wondering…” he says, and i feel him swallow. when he doesn’t continue, i dare to look up. he’s looking down, and i can see his blushing face in the fading dusk light.
he smiles to himself and meets my eyes.
“is it alright if… i kissed you?” my heart pounds in my chest. he turns even redder. “i-it’s okay if you—“
“please, do,” i interrupt, a nervous laugh escapes my lips. he looks at me for a second, and then he smiles, his eyes are so full of fondness it makes me wanna cry. “please,” it sounds like begging, but i don’t care anymore.
he moves forward a little, looking at my lips. i close my eyes, too nervous to look.
i feel his hand slowly cup one of my cheeks, his thumb caressing my skin. i melt into his touch and lean into it, wrapping my fingers around his wrist. his hand feels cold against my hot skin. then his lips meet mine, and my mind goes blank.
he opens his lips just a little, tilting his head slightly, and i follow him. he kisses me so slowly and gently and yet i still feel my head spin. he tastes so sweet, i immediately feel like i could get addicted to it. his free hand is in my other cheek and he brings me even closer, deepening the kiss, still as gently.
when we break apart, we stay there, foreheads touching, trying to catch our breath. he gives me another small kiss and puts his forehead on my shoulder.
“you okay?” i ask, leaning into him.
“mhmm,” he mutters, and i can hear his smile.
i can’t help but laugh at us, happiness overflowing me.
