OCKiss Day 6: Hand

Auden and Tainu

Auden returned from his brother's study to find his bedroom empty. The large window beside his bed was wide open, letting in the warm night breeze. He poked his head out.

"Here you are." He said, finding his partner Tainu perched on the ledge, no more than two feet wide that ran along the side of the house.

"Here I am." Tai smiled back at him as he climbed out the window to join him. The sky held onto the last remaining colors of the setting sun, outlining the roofs of the town.

"For anyone else I would be concerned about the drop." Auden said after a bit of quiet. He wasn't deathly afraid of heights, but the two story drop into the courtyard made him nervous. Tai simply glanced down and huffed a laugh, so used to hopping across rooftops and scaling buildings. 

Tai's gaze wandered back up to the sky, seemingly lost as the stars slowly blinked into existence. He closed his eyes, relishing a breeze that blew by. Auden gently touched his shoulder, feeling a twinge of guilt as he jumped slightly. "Alright?"

"Yes... Yes, it just-" Caught out of his reverie, Tai avoided his gaze. "It feels really nice out here... I'm just grateful." Auden hummed in response, glancing down. Tai's hand rested between them, the side of it red with newly healed skin. 

He hated to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't wretched his hands free of the manacles, if Auden hadn't gotten to him in time. Most likely tortured for information, or back to killing for Xiren.

Auden took Tai's hand, carefully curling his fingers around it. He ghosted a kiss to the newly healed scar, hearing Tai's quiet breath. "I'm grateful too."

OCKiss Day 7: Caught

Morys and Theadora

Courting for convenience turns into feelings. Feelings turns into 'oh god I wish we were married already'.

Theadora smiled fondly as Morys pressed another kiss to her hand. Sneaking through her parents' home to properly say goodbye to him without watchful eyes, it exhilarated her. She twisted his hold so their fingers laced together.

"Did you get my letter?" She asked, voice hushed, grinning despite herself as she remembered the contents of her last letter. Morys's eyes danced with amusement, what she wouldn't give to see that look everyday.

"Yes, I did. You made a very convincing argument on why I should steal you away. But unfortunately societal standards dictate otherwise, my dear." Not the answer she had been hoping for, Morys was a gentleman after all. But she wasn't so easily dissuaded. She caressed his cheek, her fingers dragged along his jaw.

"Perhaps arguing my points in person would be more effective?" She said softly, taking great delight in his shaky breath and distraction.

"You two are going to get in trouble." Theadora launched herself away from him before she recognized Auden, Morys's brother, coming down the hall.

She breathed a sigh of relief as he gave Morys his coat. "You won't tell on us though, will you Auden?"

"Of course not, Dorie." He said, ruffling her hair slightly. Coat donned, Morys cupped her cheek, his smile a touch sad.

"Goodnight my dear." She kissed his palm as it slid away from her face, already missing his touch.

"Goodnight Morys. I look forward to your next visit, or letter."

OCKiss Day 5: Darkness

Auden and Tainu.

This one got a little suggestive towards the end so I'm gonna put it under a cut. Tai is a former assassin who is trying to figure out how to live after escaping a scary situation. Through some sparring and mutual attraction, him and Auden start hooking up.

If Auden sought Tainu out before meals it was because he wanted something. So when he appeared at Tai's guard post beside the back entrance of the house, a few minutes before lunch, he hadn't been surprised.

"It's so quiet back here, I almost fell asleep." Tai said, stretching his arms above his head as they walked. Auden chuckled beside him.

"Be careful, Ro will get onto you." He touched Tai's shoulder and it slowly wandered down his back, making him shiver and his tail lash. He shot Auden a knowing look, his quicksilver eyes gleamed even more.

He had no idea how someone hadn't found them out yet, or maybe they had and were just too polite to say anything. What with Auden's brother in charge of the house. Tai pushed the thought away as Auden guided him back into a secluded room.

"How much time do we have?" He asked as Auden crowded into the dark closet with him. Folded towels and tablecloths laid on shelves lining the back wall, some sort of linen closet it seemed.

"A few minutes, five at most."

"That's not much." Tai said, his eyes quickly adjusting to the little light coming from underneath the door. Auden chuckled lowly, the sound making his knees weak.

"Are you underestimating me, Tai?" He murmured, pushing him up against the wall.

"Prove me wrong then." He challenged.

October Art Reel

Hello! Happy Halloween! First we have some doodles of Kato and Pollux. Then a piece from Reclaim with Auden and Tai, I used some poseable models for this and I think I still prefer sketching traditionally first.

I'm working on the metallic dragons, these are Silver and Bronze. And last is a fun doodle of Nyx and Chrys, I imagine they're both around 18 here.
