My turn to contribute something to this amazing blog!
It was normal to suspect Edgar for doing something suspicious. Most of the time, the motives or reasons are simple to find out since he speaks out the reason sooner or later when he’s asked about it. That’s what you always thought he would do but his recent actions began to make you think twice.
You were lying down on your boyfriend’s bed for the past half an hour now, waiting for him to return while you were bored out of your mind. You groaned and flopped yourself onto his pillow, “When is he coming back?”
After staring at the pillow blankly for a while, you sat up and glanced at the door for the hundred time already. Edgar said that he would return soon after he finished sending all the already done documents to Lancelot’s desk but 30 minutes was way too long, even if you were just walking in a slow pace. He gave a smile and was about to leave before he bent down and gave a kiss to your shoulder blade, saying a short goodbye before leaving.
You brushed your fingers on the spot he had left a kiss on and frowned. For the past few days, Edgar had been leaving kisses in random places with seemingly no pattern but he never explained why.
On Monday, the two of you had a planned date and he arrived early in front of your doorstep. Normally, he would have greeted you with a kiss to the lips instead so this came as a big surprise to you when he bent down to kiss your fingers and hand. You knew this was a common greeting so you didn’t question him why and went on with your date.
On Tuesday, there was a small party for all the red army officers and you were invited as well. Edgar had become your escort so you purposefully dressed up nicely for him and to not embarrass the red army. When you met up with him outside of the venue, he gave a kiss to your wrist instead a kiss to your lips instead. You were about to ask him why but he had already grabbed your hands and escorted you inside the venue.
On Wednesday, you and him secretly went to go shopping since Lancelot asked Edgar to go buy some more sweets for him before Jonah noticed a sudden empty bag under his desk. While shopping, you two got distracted and Edgar insisted on you buying new clothes since you didn’t have many clothes in your closet after dropping into wonderland. After trying various clothes that had been discarded, you eventually tried on a sleeveless dress and gave a small spin before asking for his opinion on it. He gave a smile and kissed your elbow before you could withdraw your arm. Again, he didn’t respond to your confusion and he paid for the dress before the two of you left.
On Thursday, wonderland began to become colder with winter coming to replace autumn. At night, the two of you snuggled up in front of the fireplace in his room to get some warm from the fire. You two had started some small talk and somewhere in between the talking, Edgar had placed his head on your shoulder before giving a brief kiss on the place where he had placed his head on. It would be lying if you said you weren’t surprise but figured he probably just brushed his lips on your shoulder while trying to get comfortable on it.
For a whole five days, Edgar has never given you a single kiss on your lips or anywhere he would normally kiss you on like your forehead. It was starting to make you curious on his sudden change of intimate actions but that curiosity now made you determined to figure out why he had changed.
Just as you were about to stand up to find Edgar yourself, the door opened and the man who you were about to search for was peering inside the room with a smile. He slowly walked up to you and sat next to you on his bed. “I’m sorry, my love. Lancelot wanted me to do some more work tomorrow and gave me details on them but he said I could rest for the rest of the night so now, I’m all yours.”
“It’s fine, Edgar. Your work is important too so I understand.” You gave a small smile and leaned on him. “As long as you’re still here with me, I’m fine with it.”
Edgar laughed and bent down, kissing your shoulder blade again. “What did I do to deserve someone like you.”
The kiss reminded you of what you wanted to ask him earlier. You pushed yourself away from him and pulled his sleeve gently, gaining his attention. You looked up to him and asked, “Edgar, what’s with all the kisses in different places lately? Is something going on?”
The sudden question confused the male for a second before he gave a small laugh. He grabbed your hands and stared back into your eyes with a gentle gaze. “My dear, do you know about the different meaning behind different kisses?”
You were speechless but eventually admitted. “No, I don’t.”
Edgar raised your hand up closely to his lips before kissing them just like he did on Monday. “A kiss on the hand means ‘You are lovely’. When I first saw you that day, you were absolutely stunning but mere words couldn’t describe your beauty, so I used the language of kisses to saw it instead.”
He slowly left little kisses on the back of your hand before kissing your wrist just like he did on Tuesday. “A kiss on the wrist means ‘Each part of you is great’, just like you were before the party. I could tell you put lots of effort into looking beautiful but what I considered most beautiful were your hidden beauty you kept inside and your personality. Every single part of you is perfect and all your flaws still made you beautiful.”
He began leaving kisses trailing upwards on your arm and gave a big kiss on your elbow, just like he did on Wednesday. “A kiss on the elbow means ‘Your arms are sexy’. That sleeveless dress you wore complimented your arms well and I couldn’t resist not showing my love towards them with a simple kiss.”
Trailing upwards with small kisses again, he kissed your shoulder and shoulder blade like he did on Thursday and earlier. “A kiss to the shoulder means ‘I like being near you’ and a kiss to the shoulder blade means ‘I like to spend time with you’, just like now. Do you get it now, my love?”
You were speechless. You didn’t know a simple kiss could have so many different meanings behind kisses with where it was at and that each meaning conveyed such different feelings.
Edgar continued to trail kisses up until your jaw and paused. “A kiss to the jaw means ‘I love your face’. I’m always looking forward to seeing your face every day and be reminded how lucky I am to have someone like you in my life. I never deserved to have someone like you but still chose me despite my sins. Your face reminds me of all the sad and happy memories we have, all so bittersweet but all so worth it to get to this moment here.”
Finally, he stopped right below your lips and stared into your eyes again with a smirk. “Can you guess what a kiss to the lips mean?”
“I……. love you?” You guessed uncertainly.
“Correct~” He didn’t waste any time before connecting his lips with yours into a kiss you long awaited for. However, he pulled away faster than you expected and shocked you. The feeling of his lips on yours always left you wanting for more and you couldn’t help but want him to kiss you again.
“If you want more, you’ll have to ask for it~” He smirked again.
“It’s been 5 days, Edgar. You’re a jerk you know?” You pouted and pretended to be mad at him. Your act seemed to work as he laughed again and left a small peck on your cheek. “Sorry my love, I’ll give you back the kisses you longed for so long then.”
A small kiss become a passionate one and soon, he left you with kisses in many more places other than your lips but they all were equally as passionate. The night was young and Edgar never let you go for the rest of the night to make you remember the sensation of his kisses on you.
