b-bare in mind i’ve… i’ve never done anything like this before…
*maybe it was a good thing he’d gone and… ahem… tended to himself earlier. maybe that’s what made him so relaxed now, making it easier for him to finally tell her, point blank how he felt and how he saw her. plus it certainly helped since normally the mere idea of simply holding her hand the past few days had gotten him excited*
oh… okay…
*he has a few false starts, unsure if you’re meant to press your nose this way, or that way; should he keep his eyes open? shut? in the movies they always shut them but in a few they keep them open. to busy a hand he reaches up and brushes one of her long hairs out of her face, momentarily pausing to brush her cheek with his thumb before he finally just moves forward and bumps his mouth against hers*
It felt awkward yet so right at the same time, her own eyes closing at the sensation of feeling his lips against hers. She wasn’t entirely sure if she was supposed to move or not or let him lead.
Her hands had fallen from his cheeks, weakly, to rest against his chest, gripping the material of his shirt lightly.
Her first kiss…and she was sharing it with someone so special to her; the feelings almost scared her. But she would dwell on those thoughts later as she chose instead to be in this moment, her head moving on its own to press more into his lips.
*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.
