@puppetrys : NIYAJIRA KISS / always accepting kissing!
It starts as sparring, which Elysia has said is the wrong word for whatever it is that Kujira and Niya do, which is to say that it's less about either of them getting better and more about both of them getting hurt. The last time they did it, Kujira just about shattered Niya's arm, and Niya had laughed like it was funny. It starts as sparring, and ends with Niya on top of Kujira, pinning her, staring down at her with cheeks flushed and chest heaving from exertion, eyes huge and hungry, grinning, challenging, mean.
"You lose, Jira," Niya says, a lying sing - song, but the sharpness is softened by the glee, by an almost childish excitement, as if they'd shed years and traumas just by virtue of proximity. Kujira groans and tries to move, and Niya pushes them back down, movement not - quite - sparring anymore.
( a thought / not a kindness, exactly, but a thought / kujira under other people. niya isn't usually jealous. it's fun, to feel something serrated and new. but the not - kindness isn't about that, it's about the fact that kujira is —— )
Niya watches her, posture shifting, breath shifting. Hah.
( kujira is letting them. )
Kujira tries to sit up again, and this time when Niya pushes her back down, they follow, close, close, slow, maybe to tease, maybe so she can stop them if she wants —— until their lips press to hers. To see if Kujira will keep letting them. To see how their lips feel. To erase the bad times. To tease and mock. Because they've wanted to kiss her for a long time.
Kujira lets them. Niya sits up, smirk widening, hungry, teeth flashing. They want more of her mouth. They say, "I win."
