You sat anxiously on the bed you shared with Din with a blindfold over your eyes, waiting for him to come back after getting ready for bed. He’d told you over dinner tonight that he was ready to let you touch him for the first time and that he wanted to start small by letting you touch his face. Before tonight, you’d never touched any part of his skin since he always kept his armor on, even when he was asleep. To say you were excited to finally be able to touch your lover without his armor in the way was an understatement.
You smiled as you heard his footsteps approach you, they inched closer with every passing second until he finally sat down next to you on the bed, prompting your heart beat to speed up as you fidgeted with your hands. “I’m ready.” he said, causing your eyes to tear up at the realization that you were able to clearly hear his voice for the first time and not through his helmet.
One of his hands instantly shot up to your face and started to hold it while your happy tears became worse at the feeling of his gloveless hand on your skin. “You okay?” he asked, an uneasy tone to his voice, you imagined that he was furrowing his eyebrows in this moment. You nodded within his calming touch, “I’m okay. These are happy tears, I promise.” you said, earning a chuckle from him.
He then gently placed his hands on your wrists and guided your hands to his face, letting you feel around for as long as you wanted to. From what you could feel, his skin was soft and warm and he had a short beard, the feeling of it against your palms making you laugh a little. Touching him made you feel like you were falling in love with him for the first time all over again, it reminded you of just how deeply you loved him.
Being able to touch him sent so many strong feelings of love and happiness through you to the point that you soon started to talk before you could think over what you wanted to say first, “I love you, Din.” you said suddenly, prompting a shocked expression to take over both of your faces. Neither of you had said these words to each other yet.
Din was speechless but he still forced his mouth to move again as best as he could, “I love you too, more than I have the words for. That’s why I feel safe enough to let you touch me now.” he admitted as those pesky tears reappeared and you sniffled.
But before you had the chance to tell him that you were okay again, he pressed his warm lips to yours and kissed you. Showing you all the love he has for you in every movement as he held your face in his hands once more. It felt freeing in a way to know that he felt safe and loved enough around you to let himself be vulnerable for the first time in years.
