"Tao."

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun listened to the music, the silence of words comfortable to him as he would step rhythmically. Softly, he pulled back when the other began to chuckle at his kisses, resting his forehead on his, “Yes, I’m a kiss thief, Tao. The beauty of it is that I’m just your kiss thief~” He nuzzled his nose on Tao’s gently as he smirked, “At least, I think it is~”

[unrxtao]

"I think so too." Because if anyone else had kissed Baekhyun…well, let’s say it wouldn’t end pretty for the other person. He liked the fact that the man in his  arms was his and his alone. It was a comforting feeling almost. Just to mess with the other he leaned down and stole a small kiss of his own, grinning. "What do you call a person who steals kisses from a kiss thief?"

[unrxbaekhyun]

He smiled at that, and his arms wound a bit more tighter around the other. It felt nice to be held by his boyfriend, and he didn't know how he'd really gotten by so long without Tao--boyfriend or not, although he was glad he was. The moment a kiss was taken from him, Baekhyun blushed just a little bit. Seeing his grin, he chuckled and stroked his cheek, "I believe that makes you a thief of the kiss theft~" 

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

[unrxbaekhyun]

Softly, he felt Tao start to follow the swaying motion that he had set up. Baekhyun was actually okay at moving his body, but it was rare that he did. It was nice to be like this with him, just in each other’s company. As he felt the other kiss him back, he smiled into the kiss and gave soft little pecks over his lips. Gently, he took a step closer so they were softly pressed together—not inappropriately, but like two boyfriends would be. 

[unrxtao]

He didn’t even have to take the step forward because a moment later Tao would’ve pulled him closer anyways. He smiled as he continued to sway, laughing softly at the small pecks the other didn’t seem to get enough of. “Really are a kiss thief aren’t you?” He said with a small smirk when the other actually let him have his lips to speak.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun listened to the music, the silence of words comfortable to him as he would step rhythmically. Softly, he pulled back when the other began to chuckle at his kisses, resting his forehead on his, "Yes, I'm a kiss thief, Tao. The beauty of it is that I'm just your kiss thief~" He nuzzled his nose on Tao's gently as he smirked, "At least, I think it is~"

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

[unrxbaekhyun]

He was oddly surprised when he was pulled closer to Tao’s body. With how he had reacted, he didn’t expect him to actually tug him into the position. But it was such a pleasant surprise that he couldn’t help but smile widely and nod eagerly. As music played, he held Tao close, slowly swaying with him and resting his forehead on his, “So sweet…” He whispered gently, kissing him softly.

[unrxtao]

He smiled as the other started to sway and it didn’t take long for the nonbender to pick up on it. Strange, he had never really danced before. He was glad him and Baekhyun got to however. There was a small smile before they were kissing. It was something he would have to get used to, but he was comfortable enough with it to kiss back.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Softly, he felt Tao start to follow the swaying motion that he had set up. Baekhyun was actually okay at moving his body, but it was rare that he did. It was nice to be like this with him, just in each other's company. As he felt the other kiss him back, he smiled into the kiss and gave soft little pecks over his lips. Gently, he took a step closer so they were softly pressed together--not inappropriately, but like two boyfriends would be. 

[unrxtao]

How baekhyun couldn’t kissed better was a mystery in itself but Tao wasn’t willing to question it. Kong arms curl around the other’s shoulder, pulling him off of the side of the bed slightly as he kisses Baekhyun. His own head tilted to deepen the kiss just slightly. He would push it abit further, but he was scared he could mess it up, or that it was going to fast. He was content on just this kind of kissing for now. Though that didn’t stop a small noise from coming up from the back of his throat.

He pulled away a few moments later when he needed air, stealing a small peck before he completely pulled away. He lets himself catch his breath before he was smiling and letting fingers mess with the other’s hair. “I think I like kissing you…” 

[unrxbaekhyun]

He could feel that Tao was a bit more confident in kissing him, and he liked that, it meant that he was responding to the kisses in a comfortable way. His hands wrap around his shoulders, one hand curling into his hair as he let the kiss go where it needed to--deep, but not quite intruding. Baekhyun was comfortable with this, letting the pace set itself, and with just kissing Tao in general. It wasn't anything like the nervous kisses that he'd heard so many talk about through his lifetime. With Tao, it was comfortable, and care was put into it.

Softly, he gave Tao the space he needed to move, and unintentionally let out a sigh from his lack of breathing. Instead of responding negatively to Tao's hair parting down the middle slightly from the air force, he let out a soft laugh and fixed it, simultaneously leaning in to the touch Tao gave him, "I like it too... A lot... You're going to be living with a kiss thief..." 

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

He gave a gentle smile at the  sound of his laugh, fingers giving playful taps at his shoulders before he tilted his head at the question, “Slow dance with you and have some kisses mixed in? Of course.” He reached his arms over so they were draped around his shoulders.

[unrxtao]

He chuckled softly and gives a small nod, letting his other arm go around Baekhyun’s waist. He pulled the smaller closer with a small smile. “Well then, let’s make it happen shall we?” He hummed, pulling out his phone and quickly messing with it. Soft classical music came out of it and he put it back into his pocket, the music still playing loud enough for the two of them to hear. 

[unrxbaekhyun]

He was oddly surprised when he was pulled closer to Tao's body. With how he had reacted, he didn't expect him to actually tug him into the position. But it was such a pleasant surprise that he couldn't help but smile widely and nod eagerly. As music played, he held Tao close, slowly swaying with him and resting his forehead on his, "So sweet..." He whispered gently, kissing him softly.

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

"I um—" He smiled a bit, "I’m just being a little um… what was it… A little shit?" He blinked, patting at Tao’s shoulders.

[unrxtao]

He couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “Yeah, something like that.”  Hesitantly, he puts one arm around Baekhyun’s waist. “Do you really want to do something like that?”

[unrxbaekhyun]

He gave a gentle smile at the  sound of his laugh, fingers giving playful taps at his shoulders before he tilted his head at the question, "Slow dance with you and have some kisses mixed in? Of course." He reached his arms over so they were draped around his shoulders.

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

"Ah—-…………….—-"

[unrxbaekhyun]

He smiles and gives a gentle and barely there kiss to Tao’s lips.

[unrxtao]

He blinked confusedly and shook his head slightly. “You’re confusing me more than normal, if that’s possible.”

[unrxbaekhyun]

"I um--" He smiled a bit, "I'm just being a little um... what was it... A little shit?" He blinked, patting at Tao's shoulders.

[unrxtao]

It has been that way hasn’t it? Without Tao even really realizing it at first, Baekhyun had always been two steps behind him, and him stopping to let the other catch up. When had this cycle started? He wasn’t entirely sure. But - he didn’t care. What mattered is that it happened, and it was all leading up to this moment. There was a shaky breath before he felt their lips together again, and if only for a moment Tao pushed back.

The whisper sends a shiver down his spine and he moves to make himself more comfortable, even if he is practically sitting in the other’s lap by the end of it. He knows what he feels for Baekhyun, but he can’t find it in himself to say it. Not yet. “You’re the only partner I’d ever want.” He says softly before pushing their lips together once more.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun gives a gentle smile, wondering if that was realization on Tao's face, but he didn't bother to ask. Instead, he simply holds him tgihtly. The shaky breath causes the airbender to grip his shirt slightly to make sure that it wasn't something negative. But as he returned the kiss, he relaxed a bit and let out a relieved and content sigh.

Gently, he helps Tao settle into his lap--he doesn't mind it at all--and wraps his arms around his waist. Everything feels right for him, like they couldn't mess this up, or their friendship. It would be far to hard to even try. At his words, Baekhyun smiles, "And you're the only one I could ever have..." Immediately, he kisses Tao back, holding him closer in his lap. He'd gotten better at the action, much better, this time tilting his head to give a better angle.

BaekTao :)

[unrxtao]

"Tao."

"We need to have a secret dance party. Just us."

”.. Okay, it’d be a bit more like this..”

"And with this mixed in."

[unrxtao]

"Ah—-…………….—-"

[unrxbaekhyun]

He smiles and gives a gentle and barely there kiss to Tao's lips.

[unrxtao]

The words the other replies with makes his heart race faster than it already was, if that was even possible. Of course, he felt ashamed when the other brought up that fight. He still felt awful about that, about having overreacted, about making the other feel bad when really it was the nonbender’s fault. He had let his emotions get the better of him, as always, and he had nearly lost Baekhyun due to it.

"You won’t lose me…" He speaks softly, his hand raising up from the other’s neck to the back of his head, threading through the other’s blondish locks as he leaned closer. Their foreheads touched, breaths mingling together before he spoke again. "I’m never going to leave you like that again.."

[unrxbaekhyun]

His hand slowly moves up to stroke Tao's cheek--he could tell how much he hated to talk about that fight, it wasn't the first time he'd reacted in such a way to it, but he needed to make it clear how he felt. How he couldn't lose Tao. It was impossible for him. Softly, he gives a soft rub of the pad of his thumb at the apple of his cheek as he gave a reassuring smile to show that he could never feel angry over what had happened back then. He would recall the fear, but that was a significant moment to him. Because Tao had stayed with him.

Gently, he leans in when Tao does and feels their breath mix at their lips, "I know I won't... And I will never leave you either... I could never..." His eyes flutter a bit, "Wherever you go, I follow... It's been like that for the longest time... And I wouldn't have it another way... Because you're my partner in crime~..." Softly, he puts the slightest bit of force and presses his lips to Tao's before whispering against them, "Especially not now..."

[unrxtao]

His head raises as the other speaks, wanting to look him in the eye as he told this. ‘Feel like more’? He had to think that over for a moment. What was Baekhyun to him? Yes, the best friend part he knew all to well. However, was there something more? 

There had always been something different about Baekhyun since the first day they met, and Tao had never been able to put his finger on it. Was this it? Was this the answer he had been looking for all this time….? “You are more….” He says softly, reaching his hand back up to move to the back of the other’s neck, teasing his hairline before he spoke again. “You’ve always been different Baekhyun…..in the end, I guess there was no one else who was meant to be close to me but you…” 

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun's eyes locked onto Tao's easily, the dark color catching his case as his hands continue to rest on his sides. Maybe he had said too much, but even so he still stays as close as Tao has allowed him, his heart still pounding in his chest harshly. Letting out a sigh, he blinked when he saw Tao's hair move from the force of the air.

His hands tightened on his sides at that, but then Tao began to speak, drawing the airbender's attention easily as he looked up. And the words mean so much to him, coupled with the gentle touch that he so desperately wants to become even more used to than he already is. Softly, he replied, "I feel that way too... No one else can ever really have what we do..." He whispered, "There was always you... Other people didn't matter... So long as I had you... My brother and I fought for years... Yet when you got angry with me when I told you about my bending, it felt like the first significant fight I'd ever been in... And I knew that if I'd lost you in it, it wouldn't be the same..."

[unrxtao]

Tao couldn’t help but chuckle at the joke, the smile never leaving his lips. He was glad that the action didn’t seem to spark anything negative, just the opposite really. His thumb ran over the other’s red cheek with a small hum. “Maybe we’re both just dense.” Which was a true statement, they both were really slow when it came to these sort of things. 

Slowly, he pulled his hand away and lowered it to Baekhyun’s shoulder. He squeezed just slightly as he dropped his head so that his eyes weren’t visible for a moment. “What….What now….?” He had to ask. Never had he been in this sort of situation before - he had always pushed people away. Now that there was someone close, he was so unsure, and afraid, of what to do.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Seeing Tao smile so much made Baekhyun giddy in a way he always was when his partner was so happy. Everything inside him was fluffy, and he couldn't help his stupid grin as he leaned into the gently touch on his cheek, "Maybe~... I think I'm a bad influence, not kissing you first until now~" He played around, his hands rubbing over Tao's sides in a soothing way even though he could tell he was anything but bothered by this.

The gentle touches make him swoon a bit as he smiled happily, but then Tao dropped his gaze. And once the question comes, Baekhyun knew why he had looked down. Softly, he stroked Tao's hair as he whispered, "I... I think... That I feel really good... About this..." He bit his lip shyly, "I don't want your kisses to go away... And you make me really happy... And I miss you when you're gone... And I'm always beside you to help... I'm your best friend, but I feel like more..."

[unrxtao]

His head was spinning at the contact for the first few moments. The first had been a shy push on Baekhyun’s part. He didn’t get a chance to react the first time, so being the one in charge of the situation now as almost strange. Still, he managed it, loving the moment between them. 

Ever so carefully, he moved closer. One hand on Baekhyun’s chest pushed the bender back so he was leaning against the side of the bed, and Tao was moving over him. Their lips remained locked the entire time, he was just trying to make it more comfortable for the both of them. Soon his hand raised to the other’s cheek, stroking it softly before he was pulling away. His face was still a light shade of pink, but he was smiling down at the smaller.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun felt like any kiss he could have ever had could never compare to what Tao was giving him right now. It was so sweet that he couldn't remember anything else in his life except for the one kissing him. And he liked it a lot more than his scattered brain could admit at this particular moment. So he didn't try to explain it to himself, he just let their lips continue to press together.

As Tao moved closer, the bender welcomed it, helping to make sure that the way they moved led to a comfortable position. And he didn't want to stop kissing through this process, so he didn't pull away, simply wrapping his arms more around Tao's waist. His eyelashes flutter a bit at the touch, and once they part, his red face his evident as he gazes at Tao, "How is it that we've been friends for years and we never thought of that?" He joked gently, "I mean... I knew that your lips looked soft but--..." He let out a breath to prove his point.

[unrxtao]

He huffed at the ‘maybe alittle weird’ part, but he couldn’t help but find himself chuckling aswell. His face brushed over light red again as he saw the other mouth those words. For a moment, Tao was torn on what to do. Should he go ahead with the permission granted or shy away - as he normally did when it came to these sort of things.

But then, he realized, he couldn’t shy away from this. It was Baekhyun, someone very dear to him. They both wanted it apparently, so why not? With a shaky breath in, he started to lean forward. The hand on the back of the other’s head now helped push the bender towards him and soon their lips met. A spark ran through Tao at the contact, dark eyes fluttering shut as he enjoys the new moment.

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun couldn't help but smile gently at the huff that turned into a laugh. His hands rested comfortable around Tao's shoulders as his own face went red as well, looking at him with a shy but reassuring gaze that he would be alright with whatever was decided. He knew that these decisions could be hard for Tao. Especially when it involved someone like him--a best friend. But Baekhyun felt that was the wrong label. He was a best friend, but there was something else. He was a partner. He was Tao's partner. And had been, since high school.

The shaky breath made his thoughts disperse, and he looked into Tao's dark eyes as he let himself be moved. He needed for the other to have control of this kiss. He wasn't sure if he could stably do it this time. But the second their lips fit together in a kiss, he felt something light up in him, like a set of fairy lights that had been plugged in to an electric socket for the first time. He pressed back, his lips molding against the taller's. 

[unrxtao]

[unrxbaekhyun]

Once he was out of his hiding place, he was sitting in front of Tao. His upper back was against the mattress as he waited for something, “I-I probably should’ve asked that first before h-hiding…” He admitted quietly now that they were face to face instead of face to bed.

...

[unrxbaekhyun]

He felt the soft reassurance in Tao's touch, relaxing and simply looking at him. They always had been more touchy than some, but Tao never seemed to mind. And Baekhyun surely didn't. He always welcomed and initiated it. But aside from that, that fact that Tao was telling him it was okay, that he was able to not explain just yet, made him comfortable.

Tao's touch was so soft, and Baekhyun had known this for the longest time, but now it was under a different context. He let the nonbender move his hands and move closer, Baekhyun doing the same as his smaller hands rested over his broad shoulders, "It's not weird..." He whispered before chuckling, "Okay, maybe a little weird... But we're weird together, aren't we...? Always have been..." His voice trailed as they were closer, and all he could do was mouth the words 'kiss me.

[unrxtao]

[unrxbaekhyun]

Baekhyun could see a little bit of Tao’s face because he was sitting down. Letting out a breath to try and relax, he kept his hand on his knee. He always felt better when he was having some form of contact with the nonbender. This time wasn’t any different. He could relax more,...

[unrxbaekhyun]

Once he was out of his hiding place, he was sitting in front of Tao. His upper back was again the mattress as he waited for something, "I-I probably should've asked that first before h-hiding..." He admitted quietly now that they were face to face instead of face to bed.

Baekhyun felt Tao fixing his hair, causing him to blush more. But he leaned into it to let him know it was okay, "Yeah... I know... Bad move on my part... The bed shouldn't be my first hiding choice..." His voice was calmer now, and he was relaxed. The touched moved to his cheek, and he couldn't help but want another kiss. And he did. It was a craving now.

"I-I didn't expect it either... But... I just..." He tried to explain what it was that coaxed him into it, and even now, he wasn't sure, "It's hard to explain... I did it for a reason... I know that... Even if I'm not sure what it is..."
