spots to kiss. // everyday is kiss day here.
@lionfanged said : wildcard smooch to the ridge of octavo’s knuckles
hand was taken gently in hand — octavo couldn’t help but muse over how much larger atticus’ was compared to his own, seeming so small and enveloped. once the initial surprise of it quickly passed, a grin pulled at the corner of his lips, watching as atticus pressed his just near his knuckles. perhaps showing off amid octavo’s complaining about how hylian men lacked any sort of chivalry — and could he get any more chivalrous than a kiss upon his hand?
he felt his face warm. eyes looked away coyly as his free hand came up to rest anchoring palm - flat against a hot cheek. what a rather sweet gesture — one octavo would savor for the moment. never had a man graced him with such, and he had an itching feeling it would be quite some time since he experienced it again, if at all. to be fair to the men of hyrule, gallantry likely had little meaning to anyone ( except to those like octavo who longed to be treated so delicately ).
how lucky for him that atticus was not only a foreigner to hyrule, but had come from an actual kingdom — and not just the ruins of one.
his enjoyment felt rather short - lived, however, as he decidedly felt he was being . . . glared at. octavo already knew. one glance to cairo, and he briefly locked eyes with pupils dilated into glass - shards; the same intensity as the sea being struck by lightning. he could sympathize with him, but it was nerve - wracking to be getting such fierce looks by a creature who could fit octavo’s entire head in his maw.
“ ah . . . ” he started, swallowing thickly, “ i believe cairo might be feeling a bit ignored. ”
