Prompt 9: Hesitation

@sea-wolf-coast-to-coast

Kueth's first kiss.

Kueth remembered the day fondly. It was their first real bath after the ground had thawed and the spring was just popping its head out from hibernation. All manner of life was attempting to wake up.

They chose a cloudy day to bathe, when the rest of the tribe would abandon the running water and huddle in their tents and fire pits. The water was cold but not chilling, enough to get a good scrub before they had to jump to the warmth of their own fire set up nearby.

Clothes were hung on tree branches to dry as Kueth and his Sage scrubbed off the sweat and stink from the past season. They spent a lot of time alone over the past six months, were Sage taught Kueth basics of living, of consent, of joy and sorrow.

Kueth often dived into those lessons; things that normal children would learn that he was neglected. Now, with his new self awareness, there were things he had grown divided on.

Like his Sage.

Kueth remembered that day fondly. All through their bathing he didn’t hide his gaze that fell onto the other au ra, how the water ran over his skin, or the soft sounds he made when he shivered from the cold. He certainly enjoyed the playful smile Sage offered him from time to time, not in the least bit ashamed of his nudity, nor was he afraid of Kueth’s eyes.

Kueth wanted Sage.

They were in shallower waters, thigh height, to keep the cold from running up their spines. It was gold and green and fresh. Kueth would never forget the deep scent of pine and soil, of air dancing over the clear water.

He approached and reached out, but didn’t make the contact even with Sage’s welcoming smile. He had learned not to steal, and not to touch. Permission need to be granted.

“Sage is beautiful,” Kueth stated, their first spoken words in the hour. Oh, and he was! Like dark clouds among a bright day, white hair with sharp black scales. He was smaller than Kueth, far more agile on the hunt but not as strong.

“Kueth is beautiful,” he returned the compliment with a sweet smile meant to tease. He knew what Kueth wanted, had been edging towards all winter. But it was spring, the air was clear, and Kueth knew he could finally say it.

Finally, Kueth reached out and touched a winter-white lock of Sage’s hair. It lay damp and pristine against Kueth’s own tan and calloused fingers. He tugged at the lock, forcing Sage a step closer.

“Kueth ask to kiss his Sage,” he finally said, his voice gruff, his face warm all of a sudden.

Sage’s teasing smile opened up. “You may have permission to kiss me, Kueth.”

His fingers remained curled into Sage’s hair, it even stuck to his wrist, when Kueth cupped the other’s cheek. Kueth leaned down and could feel the humid breath on his lips.

It might even be your ancestor he's speaking to.
