a hundred different kisses

whispering ''kiss me'' to your lover

wrapping your arms around your lover's neck

kisses traveling from your lover's nose to their lips

breaking the kiss, instantly pressing your lips back together

intertwining fingers

soft kisses that grow more passionate by each second

forehead against forehead

running fingers through your lover's hair

unbuttoning your lover's shirt, pressed against the wall

surprise kisses, your lover wasn't prepared but responds immediately

a kiss that says ''we're late for work, but let's be later''

kisses under a light waterfall

pulling your lover closer by the waistband

kissing under the stars

messy kisses, destroying furniture trying to reach the bed

a kiss that isn't meant to happen but does so anyway

sliding your hands down your lover's chest

grabbing your lover by the collar

''if we're caught kissing we're most likely dead but let's risk it''

hand kisses

exploring each other's lips

smiling in-between kisses

now-or-never kisses

caressing your lover's cheek

good night kisses

''i was supposed to take a shower, alone, but go ahead jump right in''

brushing lips together, lingering for a moment, catching your breath

an accidental kiss between two exes

kisses in which, we've already said goodbye for the day but i can't help stealing another one

this might be our last kiss so let's make it last

kitchen counter make-outs

jumping into your lover's arms

soft kisses while cuddling in bed

i missed you kisses

a kiss leaving you breathless

stopping a kiss when it gets too heated

a kiss on the cheek that turns into a kiss on the lips

trailing kisses from your lover's lips to their neck

''everything is going to be okay'' kisses

kisses that start out passionate but grows more delicate

pulling away from a kiss to look at each other, smiling as you dive in for another kiss

a kiss to celebrate an engagement

wrapping your legs around your lover's body as they lift you

a goodbye kiss expect neither can let go

''we shouldn't do this'' but they do so, anyway

a swirling reunion kiss

''i've had a terrible day at work so just kiss me''

a kiss that lasts longer than it should

tending to your lover's wound, placing a kiss on top of their head, grateful they're still alive

a goodbye kiss that says ''i don't love you the way you love me, and i'm setting you free''

spinning your lover into a kiss on the dance floor

kisses in which, ''i can't believe this is real, but i love you so much''

tucking a strand of hair behind your lover's ear

tracing your lips against the corner of your lover's mouth

light kisses scattered across your lover's face down to their collarbone

pulling your lover into your lap, them straddling your hips

bushing your lips against your lover's, wanting to savior the moment

playful kisses, such as, ‘‘i’m not going to kiss you.’‘ ‘‘why?’‘ ‘‘because if i do, i don’t think we’re getting out of bed today’‘

kissing your lover's wounds after having bandaged them up

mistletoe kisses

surprising your lover from behind, smacking a kiss on their cheek

caressing your lover's cheek

trying to concentrate on a task, but your lover kisses your neck, making your head spin

looking deep into your lover's eyes, before dropping your gaze to their lips

shushing your lover as they try to kiss you, telling them tonight is all about them, not you

a kiss only meant to last a moment, but when your lips meet, you can't pull away from each other

leaning into your lover's touch, their fingers tracing down your stomach, their body pressed against yours

a tender kiss on your lover's chest

kissing your lover so gently, worried that if you pull away for just one second, they might disappear

an accidental kiss that confuses you both, but only a moment pass before you crash your lips back against each other's

lingering forehead against forehead, consumed by each other and barely having enough strength to breathe

accidentally bumping noses

kissing your lover's forehead, then bending down to meet their lips

a kiss to forgive each other after an argument

standing on your tippy toes, frustrated you can't reach your lover's lips

unrequited love that is now requited, and a kiss that proves it

legs wrapped around your lover's body, hands tearing their shirt off

pushing your lover onto the bed, kissing down their stomach

throwing your lover over your shoulder, carrying them towards the bed

crashing your lips together during an argument

kisses in which, ''we just broke up, but let's kiss one last time''

whispering ''i love you'' in-between kisses

your lover pinning your arms above your head, telling you to stay quiet

trying to deny your feelings, but attraction gets the best of you, and you push them up against the wall

smiling in-between kisses

reunion kisses, ''i thought you were dead''

not being able to focus on anything during a conversation, you're too busy staring at your lover's lips

kisses in which ‘i’ll kiss you right now to prove i don’t feel anything for you’‘ but the kiss proves the opposite

kissing each other's pain away, your tears mixing with your lover's

your lover pulls you away from a kiss, asks you to marry them

telling your lover you want all of them tonight

grabbing hold of your lover's collar, begging them to kiss you

sliding your hands down your lover's chest, unzipping their zipper

untying your lover's tie, using it to pull your lover into a kiss

not being able to unbutton your lover's shirt, their kisses are everywhere and too distracting

kissing your lover's tears away

passionately making-out against a wall

“let’s just kiss to see what it’s like” then pulling away, lingering for a moment, then going in for the second kiss

hungry kisses and ripped apart clothes

''it's always been you'' kisses

STEVE HARRINGTON Stranger Things, 2.02

[spikebat]

𝙴𝙽𝙸𝚀𝙼𝙴 : 𝙴𝙳𝙳𝙸𝙴 𝙼𝚄𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙽.

At some point this afternoon the humidity had really gotten to him. He had showered, laid down for a bit, felt gross, showered again and then repeated the cycle. Now Eddie is fully convinced that Hawkins is located in one of the circles of hell (which really isn’t a hard theory to support given how it is literally crawling with monsters and also split right down the middle). Somewhere during the second round of rinse and repeat, he got the idea of getting high enough to answer the weird messages about clogged up drains that Steve had left him. What an absolute geek.

       But it doesn’t take him long to regret this decision, too. Because apparently humidity was (and still is) only the second reason why he’s bothered and warm. Steve is his personal purgatory. Eddie lies on his back in bed smoke clouding his judgement until he’s looselipped enough for a confession. When the phone goes silent after that he wishes loudly for the bed to swallow him whole. No more Eddie. No more Eddie who is ridiculously obsessed with a guy he’s kissed once (or like once, but multiple times that once.).

      He falls asleep because it is either that or crying. The knock on his door jolts him awake. It only a few steps away, but he’s out of breath, anxious, immediately. He neatly fucking laughs at the fact that it is actually Steve on the other side. Eddie is about to make a comment. on how he’s too late and that everything had been smoked, but he’s caught off guard for the second time within the space of like a minute. Steve lips are on him and Eddie tries to figure out if he’s real or some kind of very vidid hallucination. He also wants to shut down his brain and enjoy this, whatever it is, without brain having a malfunction.

      Eddie instinctively hauls Steve closer to him by gingerly wrapping an arm around him. His palm rests flat against his hip. He doesn’t mind being pinned to the door. “Steve,” Eddie breathes into his lips without making the effort to fully break away, “…hi.” Eddie feels like a kid, completely flustered by just a kiss.There are many things he could say and he can’t come up with anything better than hi.

        the really had to stop meeting like this, huh?   steve had a weird relationship with impulse decisions.   sometimes, they worked magic for him.   other times, he found that they paved the way for some of his WORST experiences.   and yet, there’s no bitter taste of regret that fills his mouth.   not when he kissed eddie at the party, not when he kissed eddie at the party again, and certainly not when he was kissing eddie now.   so maybe this is one of those increasingly rare magic moments.   one where he realizes that everything he’s been feeling is totally valid and not weird, right?   they break away from the kiss, if only momentarily, and his hands stay planted on the sides of his face.   there’s no running from this, not for either of them.

 brows furrow when steve searches his face like some fortune hungry traveler.   somehow, along the way, he just ends up staring into those big brown eyes.   and maybe that’s one of his favorite things about him, the way he can see the world in another man’s eyes, or the way he feels those little butterflies in his stomach when eddie smiles at him.   there’s a spark.   one he’s never really felt before, not with nancy, not with all those other girls.   this was something different.   but, he knows it’s something good without fully being able to grasp at it.

                  ❝      hey.     ❞     the smile that pulls at the corners of his lips seems genuine.   relief painted somewhere in the lines.   once tense shoulders soften a little, relaxation being able to set after a particularly stressful drive here.   one of steve’s hands lips from eddie’s cheek, only to find a new home at the back of his neck.   without much warning, he pulls him in for another kiss.   and another one.   and another one.   rapid fire enough to it almost seems a little rough for a second.   but when he pulls back, it’s different this time.   this time, he’s sure of all these unfamiliar feelings that have been settling inside of him.

   ❝     i guess i just wanted to be sure.   sure that this wasn’t something appealing for the thrill of it.   i guess ... i guess.   i don’t know, man.   there’s something about this, about you, about us.   i just ...     ❞         he has such a hard time spilling his guts out onto the floor.   which is odd given how many times they’ve kissed, how many times they’ve wasted away their nights texting each other until morning light.

          ❝     i don’t know if this is just something you’re doing for the fun of it, or how this really works.   really.   i can lay it all out for you, though.   i really, really like you, eddie.   i battled with myself over it for a while because i don’t really know what i’m doing or what i want.   but i know, i kinda want this.   with you.     ❞          there’s some birds chirping a nearby tree.   it’s enough to ground him, to make him realize he’d just poured his feelings out on eddie’s doorstep in broad daylight.   right where the neighbors can pull up their lawn chairs and enjoy the show.

Get in loser, we’re going shopping (she may or may not be riding her bike right now)

              ❝      𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄?   ‘cause this is EXACTLY how you don’t have a bike anymore.   the minute i get on those handlebars, one of two things is going to happen.   ONE: we actually make it.   you try to peddle on and i block your view.   we crash and burn.   TWO: we don’t make it.   the bike caves under our weight.   we both wipe out.   you don’t have a bike anymore either way.     ❞

#𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐐𝐌𝐄 : 𝙴𝙳𝙳𝙸𝙴 𝙼𝚄𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙽.

Somehow Harrington’s— Steve’s— voice is loud enough to cut over the buzz of the room. It is impressive, really, that he resists the urge to speak in any shrill, the-music-is-too-loud kind of way or wave his arms at him like a maniac. Earth to Eddie. Eddie who has sprawled himself across a chair in the furthest corner of the room, pretending (and that’s the keyword here) to be more drunk (or stoned) than he really is. The best way to avoid confrontation.

     “Ah,’ Eddie says, insincerely, through his teeth, a wide grin plastered on his face, “Just as I was starting to miss you.”

    He is clearly unsuccessful in seeming too occupied to hold conversation. His bad luck. Conversations starting with any variation of ‘we have to talk’ usually haven’t ended well for him. Fuck it, if half of his brain  doesn’t want to believe that Steve is there beat him up.

    “Right.” He repeats, sitting up a bit straighter, looking over Steve’s shoulder rather than at him. He can vaguely make out Robin and Nancy, perched on the edge of the stairs, discussing something, whatever, he can’t make out (What is important is that they don’t seem like they are talking about them). His eyes flicker back to Steve who is very inconveniently towering over him, definitely not making things easier by looking like, well, Steve.

    “Listen, dude, before you say anything… We don’t have to. It isn’t a big deal. I know you’re not…” He is too embarrassed to finish the sentence: “Just don’t wreck your pretty brains about it, okay? We’re cool.”  

            𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑:   𝑺𝑷𝑰𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑶𝑻𝑻𝑳𝑬.   a nice little party game invented with the sole purpose of finding an excuse to kiss anyone and everyone.   he had entertained the idea, laughed about it actually, like he was still some highschool teenager, giddy at the prospect of maybe kissing nancy again.   𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒑 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆.   those old feelings never really die, do they?   what he wasn’t expecting was eddie munson sauntering in, spinning that pretty little bottle, and locking lips with him.   like a deer in the headlights, he sat there, wide-eyed and confused.   not at the prospect of kissing another man, but the feelings that perked up inside of him.   more of those old feelings.   the kind that never die.   the next few moments were a blur.   there was laughter, there was more kissing, there was game after game after game.   and through it all, steve remained caught in a moment long passed.

 when it all fizzled out, eddie retreated to the corner of the room.   steve moved in the opposite direction, tripping over what felt like foreign limbs to get to the kitchen.   it was a good thing his dad was out of town again, right?   another party, another celebration.   for a few long moments, he leans against the island, nursing a bottle of cheap beer, hoping the burning feeling on his lips could be washed away, but it can’t.   NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE DRINKS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE TRIES TO STIFLE THAT FEELING IN HIS GUT.   somehow, steve manages to garner enough courage to face his demons.   to approach this like an adult.   did eddie feel the same way?   that kiss wasn’t something casual.   it meant something, didn’t it?

 eddie’s response is dismissive.   an attempt at affording him comfort.   but it doesn’t answer those questions that dance at the tip of his tongue.   there’s a half-assed smile pulling at the left corner of his lips.   it’s a long, awkward for moments of him chewing at the inside of his cheek before he forces himself next to the other man, consuming any semblance of personal space between them.     ❝     uh, no.   i mean, i don’t know.   it’s just ...     ❞     there’s another excruciatingly long pause.   he’s really dragging this one out.

          ❝     i mean, it’s just i don’t know what i am.   and you’re telling me not to wreck my brains about it, but that kiss back there?   it, uh  ...   it’s really wrecking my brains right now.   but, it’s not just me, right?   that wasn’t like a normal kiss, right?     ❞     he’s rambling.   nervous isn’t a good look for the infamous king steve and he knows it.   so instead of torturing the both of them, he embraces being unpredictable and spontaneous and grabs eddie by the collar, pulling him close enough to kiss him again.   this time he leads into it, with a hunger he’d never really known until now, and before it can get too heated, he pulls away.   nervous again.

make my doctors appointment for me 🔫

               ❝      YES, HELLO. i'm calling to confirm an appointment for my sister, she would like to get her test results for ligma.     ❞

There’s nothing to worry about.
