a tentative , exploratory kiss between friends . /maybe, if you want to oop-
ʷⁱⁿᵉ ʰᵃˢ ˡᵒⁿᵍ ᵇᵉᵉⁿ filling her glass for the night, a nice addition to a long night of being on their feet. surprisingly, it isn't all that uncommon to find unattended and full alcohol bottles speckled around wherever they traveled. had it solely been the alcohol taking its course on her or was it the tension between them that has felt like it's been growing ever since that night of sharing a moment of magic between one another ? shadowheart isn't sure, but she doesn't seem to mind ⸻ no, not as she's setting the glass down and to the side, moving closer to the wizard.
eyes flit from lips and then up to meet gale's gaze ⸻ breath stilling only for a second before she closes the space between them with a tentative kiss. it's not like she's not kissed someone before, she's shared many moments with people before but this moment with gale ? it makes skin flush, a soft sound leaving her lips as skin raises, hairs standing on end. shifting to her knees, she towers over him a little, a hand moving to cup the side of his face. maybe they shouldn't be kissing but ... who cared when their lives could end at any second due to the things nestled in their brains ?
shadowheart isn't sure how long they've been kissing, between the slide of lips and explorative nips at lips, all she knew is that she needed to breathe. she should be embarrassed, maybe immediately pull away from him, act as though it isn't something she's been thinking about for quite some time. not quite fully pulling away, green eyes look at gale with a softened gaze, an almost unreadable expression on her face aside from ... want. she wants him ⸻ more than she'd like to admit. ❛ is that enough to satisfy your curiosity ? ❜ voice is quiet, low yet vulnerable. maybe there's more to all of this than she lets on.
