⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ Bendy's kisses are nothing short of passionate and fiery. Every ounce of love he has is poured into every little kiss— no matter how short— like a desperate cry, trying to remind and show you just how much he cares. When he pulls away, it leaves you aching, wishing he'd have let it go on for just a few moments longer.
⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ Kisses serve as better alternatives to 'I love you's. Don't get me wrong, it's not like he never says it! Bendy simply prefers showing his affection through actions rather than words; he feels that he's much better at expressing himself with his body. He likes to think it's the former performer in him, used to telling the story through lively movement and a sway of his hips.
⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ Every one of his kisses entails touch to some degree. The shorter ones are often accompanied by hand holding, taking both of your hands in his. Leeching off your warmth, he squeezes them— firm and reassuring. Sometimes, though, a gloved claw reaches up to gently cup your cheek. His thumb traces your cheekbone as the other finds it's place on your forearm, gently massaging away any built up tension in your muscles. His tail flicks behind him and snakes up to wrap around your thigh or waist, the tip gently rubbing against your skin.
⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ The longer ones call for firm hugs, two cold arms wrapping around your waist and tugging you closer until your bodies are pressed flush against each other; with such closeness, you can feel just how fast his heart beats. Other times, his claws trail down your sides, slow and teasing until they stop at your hips. He takes great care not to dig those talons of his into you as he squeezes, smiling into the kiss as your flesh dips under the pads of his fingers. His tails wraps tighter around you as if attempting to show you how important you are to him.
⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ Bendy may try to cover any traces of raw, unfiltered emotion out of some inexplicable fear but kisses are near impossible to fake. Earlier into your relationship, his kisses were almost always playful. In more intimate instances, you could catch a slight tremor in his lips and a hesitance in touches.
⋆ ˚ 🎭 ⁀➴ ꒰ Since then, he's gotten far more comfortable. Insecurities you used to inadvertently bring out now fade in your presence. Kisses are no longer something he has to rehearse a hundred times in his head like some stage act. Bendy understands now— to the fullest extent— that you are someone he can fully confide in. You're not a member of the audience. He's not performing, nor does he need to. You're his partner and you'll love him no matter what version of him it may be.

⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ Boris's kisses are lazy but not in the way you may think. It's not that he doesn't love you enough to put in the effort, it's quite literally just his style! Unlike Bendy, he doesn't treat every kiss like something sacred to pour his everything into. Instead, he finds comfort in them. Boris melts into every kiss, practically a big, warm puddle in your hands by the time you pull away.
⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ Kisses are like mini breaks from life. Every one of them stops time itself, allowing him a moment of peace to unravel in the warmth of his lover. He often ends up hurting his tail, the way it wags and incidentally smacks into everything in it's path. He leans in, sweet and shy, everytime. You end up having to take charge for the most part as he ends up too engrossed and lazy to bring himself to voluntarily pull away.
⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ Boris isn't all too big on being vulnerable in public, meaning that kisses only take place in the comfort of his home or just generally in a private space. The biggest upside to this is that every touch is far more intimate than it could ever be in public.
⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ For the most part, kisses may begin with you standing or sitting in your own seperate places. If the kiss runs longer than a few seconds, his gloved hands take yours in them, playing with your nails or rubbing small and slow circles into your knuckles. A few seconds longer and he'll begin to trail them up your arms, right up to the fold. He keeps his thumbs over the veins running through the middle, focusing in on the rhythm of your pulse and how it quickens. About a minute in, he'll find his way to your waist and gently pull you onto his lap if possible. The kiss either ends in a cuddle session or continues until you pull away.
⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ On the other hand, you'll have already been lying on him. In this case, he simply brings both arms around you and holds you tight. You can feel the muscles beneath his skin flex against your back as he practically attempts to fuse with you. This, however, only really occurs when he's extra clingy, sensitive, or having a jealous streak. More often than not, Boris gently rests his hands on your back, one on the upper and the other on the lower. The hand against the small of your back often presses against and massages the curve.
⋆ ˚ 🦴 ⁀➴ ꒰ To put it bluntly, Boris's kisses are a little sloppy and definitely inexperienced but it's evident that they mean a lot to him. He's gentle with you and almost always takes his sweet time with them to truly express that love. Not joking, he has a dedicated time in his schedule to making out with you; it's essentially his break from whatever he might've been doing before.

⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ Cuphead's kisses always leave behind a buzzing warmth on your lips, burning desire carried through to you in every one. He's a little on the rougher side, often yanking you into them or darting out to you rather than slowly leaning in. He tends to live his life fast paced, making slower and more intimate moments few and far between but all the more special.
⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ Cuphead is about as passionate as Bendy. Actually? Scratch that— he's worse. While Bendy is relatively soft and romantic, Cuphead creates a hot, messy desire and he'll leave you to sit with it. He relishes in the thought that every kiss leaves you thinking of him hours after he's gone, craving his attention and presence. But don't worry, he's no monster! He'll give you just what you want if you beg a little, just hope you don't mind being teased about it later..
⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ Cuphead has damn near no shame. Your input is honestly all that's stopping him from having your back pressed against a wall and his tongue practically down your throat. All jokes aside, he really does get way too into it. Public spaces are his favorite places to make out for the sole purpose of showing any and everyone that they have no shot. It starts off simple enough, a few kisses here and there, but it doesn't take long for him to pull you onto his lap. Cuphead loves letting his hands wander during this, gliding over your sides, tracing your spine and rubbing your thighs. He kisses you with fervor; fast, sloppy and intense, as if he were out of time.
⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ Cuphead struggles with genuine intimacy. Being soft— even with you— is difficult. It's really the only reason he tries to keep the quieter moments to a minimum. He wants to be soft, he really does. It's what he believes you deserve most but he's painfully awkward with it. You'd most likely have to be the one to initiate any intimacy. During these special moments, he goes quiet. His jokes spill less confidently and that cocky smile fades. Suddenly, he's uncertain. Your touches are gentle, unfamiliar. You hold him like something precious and it makes his bottom lip tremble, holding back something he can't quite put a name to.
⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ Cuphead's touches are no longer smooth but shaky as his fingers glide over your arms to your cheek. His eyes flicker from your lovely face to the wall and back again. He's terrified of screwing up and chasing off the only person he's ever known to have seen him for the freak show he is and still believe he's someone to be held so dearly. His kisses cool into something less unbearably hot and needy to something gentle; something slow and sweet. Instead of being the chaotic, dominating force he always tries to be, he let's you take the lead. His strong arms wrap around your waist, tense and sweaty as he pulls you close, desperate to keep you where he needs you. It's selfish but he can't stomach the thought of you abandoning him right now.
⋆ ˚ ♦ ⁀➴ ꒰ In all honesty, he's a softie but you really— and I mean really— have to bring it out of him. Show him he can trust you not to drop and shatter him when he needs to be held. Show him you can handle his wild side and snarky remarks without snapping. It'll take some time but if you stick around and act as his safe space, he'll warm up and you'll get to catch sides of him you likely never knew existed. The farther into your relationship you get, the more comfortable he gets; intimate moments are no longer rare but— similarly to boris— something that happens in the comfort of either of your homes or just somewhere quiet and alone with you.

⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ Mugman's kisses are almost always stiff, awkward, and to the point. You think it's endearing but he hates it and really wishes he didn't struggle so much. His kisses start tense and nervous but the longer they last and the more you reassure him, they'll eventually melt into something soft and sweet. Every kiss leaves him a blushing mess, cheeks dusted a very visible blue. He'd never tell you something so embarrassing but your kisses run circles in his head until you grant him more, replaying the moment and recalling the softness of your lips whenever they pressed against his.
⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ Unfortunately, Mugman remains tense whenever you kiss in public. It's embarrassing to him— other people being able to catch a glimpse of how terrible he is at this. If you don't grab a hold of him he might pull away faster than either of you would like. Reach out to him, take his hands in yours and squeeze tight. He'll reciprocate, squeezing back and relaxing ever so slightly. Wrap your arms around him and trace his rim lovingly. He'll smile against you.
⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ Mugman always asks; whether he's asking for one or asking to give you one. Sometimes it's a little odd and out of place but it's adorable nonetheless. He'll awkwardly shuffle closer, leaning into you ever so slightly until his warmth starts making you sweat a bit before quietly mumbling. His pinky wraps around yours as he patiently waits for an answer. When you finally lean in and/or give him permission, his hand locks onto yours, fingers intertwined as your lips meet once again. The corners of his lips twitch as he attempts to hold in the giggle and giddy smile before your image of him becomes a blushing schoolgirl with a big fat crush.
⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ Mugman's kisses are very simple! No crazy, over the top gestures but cute little pecks on the cheek or sweet kisses that last just the right amount of time; never too long, never too short. He rarely holds you the way most of our other friends do but he'll always take your hands in his. Though, during summer, he only holds onto your fingers to keep from getting you sweaty. I like to think he's a really warm guy. Cuddles during the summer are unbearable tho..
⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ He tends to kiss you more on the nose. It's almost like a little tradition or secret love language. They're quick and easy but you can tell just how happy it makes him when you kiss him back. A big goofy, lopsided smile spreads everytime you ghost kisses across his nose, cheeks, forehead and anywhere else you can think of. He's pracitically steaming and buzzing with joy by the time you pull away fully. You could argue he gets far more excited from the myriad of kisses than the usual, singular ones on the lips.
⋆ ˚ ♠ ⁀➴ ꒰ He may struggle with intimacy— in the sense of being painfully stiff, awkward, shy and nervous— but despite that tendency to stick to shy simplicity, you can bet that he loves you more than anything in the world. Mugman's love isn't loud, dramatic, grand, or extremely intimate. Mugman's love is domestic, quiet, endearingly dorky, and still just as loving as the rest of the cast— if not more. His excitement and nerves don't stem from 'inexperience jitters' or something of a similar degree but, instead, it's almost as if he still has a big ol' crush on you. You still give him just as many butterflies as when he first laid eyes on you..

⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ Shelly is an energetic and bubbly gal, almost always smiling and skipping around the room. Her kisses very heavily reflect those traits! She giggles into each and every one, the subtle taste of her fruity chapstick left behind on your lips. Each short session is a burst of joy, multiple kisses express that very well for her. Kisses that aren't accompanied by 20 others are uncommon but certainly not rare either!
⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ Shelly is a very clingy and touchy woman, as if in need of constant reassurance. She brings you as close as possible and squeezes you tight. Oftentimes, you need to tap her back or hip to let her know she's dangerously close to suffocating you. Her hands don't wander, sticking to their usual spots; these said spots being your hair/horns/fur, lower back, cheeks, and hands. The only movement found is gentle caresses, miscellaneous fidgeting, light circles traced on your skin, and squeezes that are just slightly too tight.
⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ Shelly almost always initiates it first. Whenever you think you're about to catch her off guard, the moment you turn your head, she's already closed half the gap between you. The key word here is almost. Sometimes you do manage to catch her by surprise, leaning in to kiss her just before she could go through with it herself. In moments like this, she tends to lean in a little closer, press into the kiss a little harder, and her once tight holds blur into something far less desperate. Kisses from you mean a lot; to her, it says you really care. You're not here to mess with her, hurt her or neglect her. You actually care..
⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ Softer, more intimate moments are typically accompanied by quiet sobs. Starting out, she's relatively calm and collected— still cheery and smiley. As the scene stretches on, she starts to tear up. Quiet sniffles reach your ears and you pull away in concern. Shelly will always insist, nearly beg, for you to continue. She'll tell you she's fine and truthfully? Deep down? She's not. Of course she's not. But she doesn't need a lecture and therapy, not at the moment. All she needs is you, your familiarity, safety and comfort; your loving touches, gentle holds and memorized warmth. She'll make her way to therapy later.
⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ One of Shelly's favorite things to do is curl up somewhere with you and ramble about her studies, recent findings and some gardenview history. You don't let her run on like background noise you hardly regard— you actually listen. You listen and you love her little info dumps. She often peppers kisses across your face, neck and arms as a show of her vast appreciation for your putting up with her yammering. She treasures these moments, albeit mostly out of fear that your well of love will eventually run dry for her and you'll find someone far better.
⋆ ˚ 🐚 ⁀➴ ꒰ Shelly is a ball of sunshine; courageous, bold, and bright. Unfortunately, a single star in the night sky is always looked over in favor of the brighter, colorful ones. She carries the insecurity of her blandness, always on the verge of being entirely forgotten, even by her own friends, into your relationship. You know of this and you try to help but she always refuses to push her burdens onto you. Keep pushing. Show her that you care, that she'll always be the star you look for; your star. She'll open up bit by bit and the anxious squeezes disappear. The moments she treasures won't be held dearly out of fear but out of love. She'll eventually come to understand that you're her safe space and you're not planning on going anywhere.
