he brings both of the foxians hands to either side of his face. content in the feeling of his palms against his skin. its smooth, well… smooth enough, a bit rough where his jaw curves up to meet his ears. and at the right, there is clear marring beneath where his hair covers his eye. jiaoqiu has seen his face, briefly- but boothill is certain he remembers it… remembers enough. all the ranger gives him is a low hum, a note that rumbles deep in his chest. and after a moment, his turns his head- to nuzzle his face into one of jiaoqiu’s hands. it’s not like he’s never shown affection before, however brief. but his smile can be felt, just before he pushes a kiss to the center of his palm. as if he just cant help himself. / kisses for the fox ✨
jiaoqiu doesn't resist in the slightest, allowing both his hands to be guided up to boothill's face. his palms settle there, cupping cheeks that are surprisingly soft, especially compared to the rest of the cyborg's frame. there's a bit of roughness there, but the foxian doesn't seem to mind. he leans into it, lips curving upward in a fond smile. his gaze lingers on boothill's face. though it flickers briefly towards the side where hair obscures one of his eyes. jiaoqiu had seen what lay beneath it before. it didn't change how he looked at him. he had seen far too much in his lifetime to be unsettled by a thing like that.
his thumb brushes over boothill's cheek in a soft motion. only softened further by the affectionate little chuckle that escapes him when boothill presses a kiss to his palm. ❝ did you miss me that much, boothill ? ❞ jiaoqiu teases gently. yet the subtle movements of his ear and the soft sway of his tail betrayed his own emotions. he had clearly missed the cowboy just as much. maybe even more. ❝ i missed you. ❞ he admits in return. forehead pressing against the other before he slowly pulls back again.
❝ now tell me what you've been up to while you were gone. ❞
