*god the movies made kissing seem so easier didn’t they? but they were meant to be absolutely perfect in every sense of the world. but… yet… for him this was perfect. sitting in his worn bean bag, a colored blanket over their laps, a spilled tray of food on the floor and a pug no doubt plotting to be very smelly later on, within his apartment that smelt of paints and clay… it was perfect.
his arms keep her still, keeps her close, and he draws her just a little bit closer as he presses his lips against hers still, not wanting it to end. but alas, breathing was important. he didn’t want to get dizzy. so he broke the kiss gently, breathing through his nose, as his lips trail for a moment against the corner of her mouth before he backs his head away for a moment*
…w… wow.
Her eyes were clouded, lips slightly puffy from the kiss, her face stained slightly red with only droplets of blush. She shivered in ecstasy, wondering if all first kisses were that magical…no…it was because it was Jack.
Her eyes moved upward to stare at him, lips barely parted. It had felt amazing and she was hoping there would be more. At least more during that moment because she knew for certain there’d be more in the future.
She couldn’t even say anything. He had charmed her into silence so she chose actions instead, lifting a hand to gently trail a finger across his bottom lip.
*he breathed a happy noise through his nose as her finger trailed his lips, which opened beneath it, but made no other move despite wanting to kiss her finger. there were better places to kiss her, now, after all wasn’t there? jack smiled at her, before reaching a hand up to push it through her long, beautiful hair and touch the back of her head*
i told you… never want to let you go.
*and for the second time today, he kissed her again. it was still a little awkward, still very tender and new and wonderful, and it still sent waves of happiness coursing through his body, mind an soul, as he felt her warmth wash over and wrap around him like a warm blanket after a lovely bath*
