fictional kiss things that end me

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

pressing their foreheads together while kissing

speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse

guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

running their thumb over the other’s lips

when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldn’t and pull back to stop themselves

ripping the other away - “no we shouldn’t” - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close

one sliding their hand into the other’s hair slowly

their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them

accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other’s lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

then licks their lips and says “please”

Also:

following the kiss with a series of kisses up to suckle an earlobe

following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck

lightly running the very tip of the tongue around the outline of the lips with darting touches before actually kissing

raking a hand through the hair and getting a good handful to pull the other person closer (before or during the kiss)

starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in devout passion

softly moaning into the kiss

smiling just before or during the kiss

kissing tears away

kissing at laughlines/crow’s feet/frownlines

kissing pouty lips

lightly running fingers up along the neck while kissing

bringing up the hands to cup the other person’s face while kissing

slowly letting their fingers twine together while kissing softly

a huge smile on face(s) when the kiss ends

a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

…. I like fictional kisses, mk?

[centrumlumina]

breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths

moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed

hands in each others’ hair

kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s

throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss

hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp

lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

Gabriel is glad when he hears that Huan is pleased to see him. It must have been forever since Gabriel saw anybody he really called a friend. His co-workers were nice, but they were his co-workers. People who were just as tired as he was and they could get just as snappy as he could, none of them ever really tried to pursue him for conversation or time away from work… so Gabriel had been on his own for a while now. But hearing about Huan’s success is nice and the question asks makes him glance away sheepishly with a thoughtful tilt of his head.

“Well…” he starts “Things are certainly a lot different for me than when we first met. After our meeting at the journalists’ convention, I actually changed my major from business to journalism.” He pauses to think if he should add the fact that he was casted away from his family because of that choice but he figures it would be better to leave such drastic things out of their reunion “After that, I moved to New York where I live now. Overall, I’m doing pretty well! Maybe you’ve read one of the articles. I go by the penname Cronin…” 

[shuiliushu-a]

Huan’s interest is sparked at this. He motions for Gabe to sit with him on the nearby bench and folds his hands in his lap to listen intently. “New York? That’s so close! Much closer t’an all the way out in Los Angeles,” he said with a chuckle. “It is very good to hear that you are doing what you love. I could see it in your eyes when you would speak about the writing...” he said, nodding as he spoke. 

Now that he hears the name, he does recall seeing it in the papers. Admittedly, Huan does not read very many newspapers in English, instead opting to get copies translated to Chinese in the local shops. “Oh, yes!” he responds excitedly. “Wow, I had no idea. I am very proud of you, Gabe.” He offers a smile and leans back against the park bench, resting his chin on his hand. “How do you like Boston so far?”

A wave of excitement hit the small reporter but even then, he couldn’t help but also feel some nervousness. He hasn’t seen this man in forever but on top of that Gabriel was taking Huan away from his work. Gabriel hopes the other doesn’t mind. Then Huan is approaching him and Gabriel feels relieved when he remembers his name. He does remember! Now Gabriel is just conflicted on either hugging the other or offering a handshake… his confusion only makes Gabriel stand still and not make any sort of move. 

Hearing Huan speak Mandarin is unexpected but it only pulls at Gabriel’s curiosity. His slow speaking is appreciated, it gives Gabe more time to piece together what Huan could be saying and dig up the bits of Mandarin he rushed to learn many years back due to another business trip. Returning the smile Huan-Ji gave him, he replies “Huan, I’m doing well! What a happy coincidence that I see you here!”

Gabriel studies his eyes and feels a warm familiarity between them. The smile captivating his pillowy lips is ever growing and is bright. “How have you been doing? I hope life has been treating you well since the last time we met.” 

[shuiliushu-a]

Huan rocks back and forth from his toes to his heels, unable to keep the smile from tugging at his lips. He is naturally energetic and full of motion, and moments like these just make it all worse. His eyes look over the other and he manages to settle into a relaxed state. He notices how Gabe looks much more… matured since last they met, and suddenly begins to hope he doesn’t look old.

The Mandarin had rolled off his tongue unexpectedly, and Huan is surprised that Gabe remembers that much. His smile grows brighter at this. “I am surprised to see you here——but happy,” he says with a nod of his head.

“I have been doing ve'y well. About six year ago I come to Boston from San Francisco, and get a job as translator and conservationist for a few of the different sanctuaries, and this zoo,” he smiles. “And how has life been for you?”

“Guess what!” calls Huan into the house. He closes the front door behind him and removes the stiff cowboy boots that Lian insisted he wear as part of his costume. Tonight is Halloween, and Huan always dresses up for Halloween ------ mostly at the request of his twins. Now, however, they were at the age where they wanted to go Trick-or-Treating on their own, and in a neighborhood as safe as this one, he was willing to allow them that opportunity. 

He finds Gabe somewhere near the bowl of candy they had bought to pass out and smiles, resting a hand on the younger man’s shoulder as he places a kiss on his cheek. “Kun and Lian wen’ out with their friends, so now we have night to ourselves!”

[newspapcr-blog]

Gabriel was in Boston for work. He was interviewing a client for an article he was writing and before he left the city decided to go take a walk around the city and try and soak up what sort of culture was here. When he saw there was a zoo, he was inclined to go and take a visit. Hopefully, there was a reptile exhibit. If not he could always look at the exotic birds there. On his way to said birds, Gabriel made sure to stop at each habitat to observe each animal. Admiring each animal’s different traits and adoring their small quirks. However, it wasn’t until he reached the gorilla habitat did Gabriel’s interest really sky rocket. A worker was in the habitat with the animals plus they were handeling one of the babies, which was always adorable. But it was when he really looked at the worker did Gabriel feel a sudden shift.

Gabriel stared at Huan-Ji with wide hazel eyes, they fill with a certain sparkle as memories begin to flood his thoughts. He remembers his sophomore year in college… he remembers a crowded convention center with a lot of murmuring coming from everywhere. Gabriel was asked to participate and help out during the panel because of his Spanish speaking skills which is where he met Huan-Ji. He remembers the talk they had and how they seemed to quickly click togetherm Gabriel smiles at the memories. Gabriel may remember Huan well, but he wonders if Huan would remember him. Gabriel was much different than he was in sophomore year. 

Back in college, especially the particular year he met Huan, Gabriel was working through so much. Just breaking free from an oppressive relationship with a wicked man, the constant shadow his father casts over him and the demand that Gabriel become something great or be disowned. Back then in that first half of sophomore year, Gabriel was very quiet. He withheld himself from the public with fear controlling his thoughts. That moment in the convention center with Huan was very rare but Gabriel can’t say he would ever change that moment. Gabriel was different now. Wrapping up school with a bachelor’s degree in journalism instead of business. He was casted out of his family and he’s still healing from the damages inflicted on his heart but Gabriel holds himself up and with confidence. It showed as a bright smile blossoms onto his face and he lifts a small hand to give an excited wave to the other man. He’s saying something, probably a greeting, but the glass is making it hard for his voice to be heard.

[shuiliushu-a]

After getting over the initial surprise, Huan’s pursed lips relax into a smile. He manages to wave back in spite of the rambunctious ape in his arms, and offers ‘hello’ though he is obviously unheard by the other man. Holding up one finger to indicate that he will be right outside, Huan (the only one who can enter the gorilla habitat without threat) wrangles the toddler ape into the building so he can get his checkup.

It is moments later that he comes outside to greet Gabe, who thankfully only takes a moment to find. Huan-Ji approaches nervously, face red as though from the exertion with the ape when it is really only his nerves. “你好, Gabriel,” he says with a smile. “你好吗? It has been a very long time.” He speaks slowly, as though speaking Mandarin to a newcomer, and is accent is as thick as ever.

He wonders what brings Gabriel to Boston —— he himself moved here with his children a year ago after San Francisco became too… boring. Perhaps he was visiting; Huan recalled years before hearing that he was a New Yorker, and New York wasn’t too far away.
