tell us about first kisses ginny >:3
on their second date kravitz takes taako to a street fair - he figures, there's lots to see, lots to do, it's the perfect place to get to know each other better.
taako immediately hones in on the food stands dotting the city square and all but drags kravitz over to the little ol' gnomish lady selling pickle soup and rye bread across the way. (kravitz gets a little flustered because, oh - oh they're holding hands, but taako is so focused on gettin' in on that fresh bread that his grabbing kravitz's hand does not immediately register.)
from there they dart from stand to caravan to stand trying everything from orcish barbeque to these delicate little corn fritters that melt on your tongue. taako keeps a running commentary as they go - why this drink pairs well with this dish, why it's obvious that the bougie-ass sun elf with the tapas truck has no fuckin' clue how to properly grill calamari.
kravitz is surprised by taako’s depth of knowledge and asks him if he likes to cook? taako gets very quiet for just a moment before he glances at kravitz out of the corner of his eye, very dramatically puts a hand to his chest, and says, excuse me! you are looking at ***the*** taako of sizzle it up! with taako. he scoffs. do i cook, he says, shaking his head. i was the head chef!
kravitz laughs and says, forgive me, i had no idea i was dining with a celebrity.
taako puts on airs as he tries to hide his grin and seems to relax - which, kravitz hadn’t realized he'd been tense? taako continues on, blissfully unaware (or, at least, pretending to be) and gives him the run-down on what taako would have put on the menu if he’d been catering this whole affair. kravitz is a little amused but mostly very charmed.
eventually they settle down by a fountain with a cup of strawberry gelato each, chatting idly and watching the crowds. kravitz glances over at taako. he is so handsome. his hair is burnished gold in the mid-afternoon light. taako catches him staring and turns to raise a brow.
see something you like? he says.
very much so, kravitz agrees. also, you have some ice cream right - he reaches towards taako's face and brushes his lower lip - there.
taako's breath hitches... then he shoulders kravitz away with a laugh. he says jeez, handsome, if you wanted to kiss me so bad all you had to do was ask!
kravitz flushes and says, can i?
taako says, hmm?
can i kiss you?
taako says, i - yeah.
and then they do.
taako tastes like strawberries.
