tarzan fic is coming along great, here’s another short preview for y’all
Louis kicked him in the face to get him away. The wild man didn’t look too pleased by this, and a grumpy frown formed on his plump and red lips as he rubbed his cheek. Louis rolled his eyes and started to straighten out his damp shirt. “Serves you right. N-now stay over there like a good wild man.” Once again, Louis’ words did not deter the man, who began to crawl over, not trying to touch this time. “I-I mean it. My father won’t take kindly to you…”
Louis’ voice trailed off slightly when the wild man brought his face very close. He barely clutched Louis’ cheeks in two enormous and calloused hands, and oh… his eyes were so green. Literally everything was beautiful about him, but—“N-no, that’s close enough now.”
When the man’s nose touched Louis’ cheek, Louis gasped, “How dare you—oh!” Louis tried to slap him, but the man ducked and caught his wrist instead. “What?”
The man stared at Louis’ hand with a look of curious wonder. He slowly removed the white, now ripped, glove and inspected Louis’ small fingers. Louis kept his hand held out and the wild man placed his against it, palms touching and fingers matched up.
Then the man’s face turned from awe, to eyes sparkling with realization. It was as though he figured out that he and Louis were the same. They were both human.
It dawned on Louis that maybe he was the first human this man ever saw. Going by the way this man acted like a jungle creature, and barely wore a cloth as clothes, it was entirely plausible.
The man began to smile at Louis, a gorgeous, toothy smile, complete with dimples on both cheeks. He looked at Louis as though he were the most beautiful miracle, and brought his body close. Louis only winced a little, not sure what was to come, but the man only pressed his ear to Louis’ chest.
Same heartbeat. Same hands. Same species.
The man pulled away from Louis’ chest and gently guided Louis down to his. “Oh-oh dear.” Louis squeaked against the hard chest. “Yes it’s a lonely heartbeat,” Louis pushed away from the man again, coughing to fill the awkward silence. “It’s very nice.”
