Congrats on the new blog!! To break it in, can we get a lil something on first kiss hc with Leon and Raihan 👀 I would die for both of them. I wish you and this blog a long life!!
Despite his almost overwhelming aura of bravado, Leon is quite awkward in new ventures of romance--dating is often just as nerve-wracking for himself as it might be for his partner, though a stomach full of butterfree is to be expected when dating the champion trainer of the entire Galar region. It’s certainly not for lack of desire to pursue a loving partnership with another person, but moreso in the fact that much of Leon’s early years had been spent focused on furthering his career as a trainer--and not so much with getting dates.
Leon’s impressive amount of positive energy can sometimes be his undoing when he doesn’t know where to direct it. Your first date with him, moreover your first kiss, would certainly be one of these moments, leaving the man tongue-tied and unable to do more than babble about whatever is at the forefront of his mind. Awkward, yes, but also rather endearing, especially when most of what he has to say are largely sweet things about how he feels for you.
“When I’m with you I feel like I’m in a battle--I mean, not in the bad way, just that--I mean....my heart starts to race and my thoughts get all twisted up like a sandaconda. Does that make sense? I’m not making sense. I’m sorry-”
Unless you were too busy being amused by the heat on the man’s cheeks and the fluster in his words, it would be all-too easy to muffle them with a kiss. Soft and gentle, he would be too surprised to do more than stand there in stunned silence, until his thoughts finally return full-force, and instinct and love move Leon to wrap his arms around you and pull you closer to him.
As your bodies press together like your lips for a few moments of sweet intimacy, all that exists in the world is you and him--and nothing else.
Your first kiss with Raihan wouldn’t be anything spectacular in terms of importance over the (many) others that come after. A first kiss shouldn’t be any different than any other in his eyes, since what’s more important is having someone he can keep kissing--with that logic, he figures, there’s plenty of time and opportunities to get it just right.
He does respect if you have vested importance in the first kiss of a new relationship, though--that will always override his own personal views even if he doesn’t always understand them in the same way. That said, knowing he’s got a performance to rock, a test to ace, an impression to make. If your mind is gonna note down the significance of your first kiss with him, then goddamn is Raihan going to make it a kiss worth remembering.
Thrill and excitement is the name of the game for this dragon-specialist, and he’s more than happy to share it with you--after all, there’s nothing quite like flying atop a flygon, feeling as free and as powerful as the very dragon types that he specializes in. He’d keep you close of course, a perfect excuse to keep you tucked against him and an arm around your waist--growing higher and higher above the landscape below.
Fear. Exhilaration. You can feel your heart in your throat and your body almost shaking with a sublime sort of awe in the entire moment. Only then, when the two of you are overlooking Hammerlocke as the sun sets and the lights of the city start to bloom does he finally kiss you--it’s as soft as it is sudden, with Raihan’s fingers pulling your face to the side just enough that he can lean over your shoulder and press your lips together. There’s a fire, a passion, boiling hot and dripping into every second that he kisses you.
From that moment on, there is hardly a moment of doubt in his feelings for you--because every kiss from him reminds you of the first.
