Work Text:
It was night time and the moon was shining extra bright that night. Varesa and Ororonwere sitting under an apple tree, eating some of the extra fruit that her parents didn't need in the orchard.
"Hey, where are the fruit-tasting mushrooms?" She looked at Ororon and saw him pausing half way through chewing in guilt.
"Awwh man, the mushrooms looked really good this time! It's a shame...." She looked down before looking back up at Ororon and noticing something
"There's a piece on your lip you know" she pointed out
"Hmm? " the boy pointed at his lips and Varesa aggressively nodded. "Come here," she scooted closer to him and Ororon leaned over letting Varesa reach his face.
As she placed her hand on his cheek and her thumb on his lip, she suddenly hesitated and let her eyes wonder between his face and his lips. The moonlight was hitting his face in a way that made him look more charming than he usually looked. It hit his face so perfectly, it made his face look so soft. His eyes glow brighter but softer at the same time since that was the way he always looked at her. Along with his hair shaping his face so perfectly withh his hood off. It did something to her stomach.
It lasted for a few seconds before she finally picked up the piece of fruit with her thumb. But after, she just sat there. Her hand still on his face.
Ororon, started to get nervous himself. It was totally out of character for her to stare at him for that long. The way she was looking at him wasnt helping with his heart beating against his ribcage either.
He swallowed his food before asking
"you aren't gonna eat it..?"
"No, n-no no I will i-its just...." Her boyfriend leaned in further in confusion and to hear her better which he realized wasnt helping
"Y-you look really good right now!" Varesa said and chuckled, trying to play off her weird behavior.
But, Ororon couldn't brush it off. He didn't just want to end it at this. He's always heard about kisses, whether it be in books and gossip. Ifa had even asked him once if they had their first kiss yet at one of their many hangouts after becoming friends. He didn't understand why people did such a thing and made Ifa explain what a kiss was to him since he never really understood what it was.
But now.... He felt like he wanted something. From Varesa. He had felt for a while now that hugs and words of affection weren't enough to express his love for her anymore since it had grown so much.
"Just shoot your shot when you have the chance, got it bro?" Ifa told him "but of course make sure shes okay with it" And this felt like a chance.
But how do I go about it?
"You look better, you know." He muttered loud enough for her to hear and placed his hand on Varesa's arm, getting lost in his thoughts and doubts while subconsciously averting his attention to her lips.
And she noticed
'He's Looking at my lips..? I'm not just seeing things am I??? Hes looking at me so... Intently Too? I really can't think straight right now, why is he doing this to me?was he always like this?? Was he ever this flirty???'
"Oh, thanks"
....
They locked eyes again
"... Can I- uhm, how do I say this... I," he took a deep breath before spewing out
"I WANT TO-" his eyes widened and yet it was like a cat caught his tounge, and his head ultimately dropped onto my shoulder with me seeing his face shrivel up in embarrassment in the corner of my eye.
"What? Cat caught your tounge" she teased in a playful tone while patting his side "why so frowny?" She continued
He slowly snuggled his head in the nook of his partners neck before mumbling something that Varesa didn't quite hear.
"What was that?"
"I want to kiss you." He said like he was forcing himself to, but softly and sincerely at the same time.
Varesa, of course, was taken by surprise.
She had never known Ororon to ask let alone want to do something so...dubious? Scandalous if you get what I mean?(although it's just a kiss)
But here he is, saying that he wants to kiss her while laying his head in her neck
"Can I?" He added
...
"...uhm" she said with hesitation before grabbing Ororon's face and making him face her
She was thinking about whether she should say something or not but she figured it would just be better if she just did it.
Ororon felt his lover hold his face in her hands like one would a precious gem before slowly, but in a pace that was just fast and comfortable enough for the both of them, pulled his face closer to her's until she could feel his breath on her face.
But, again, she paused for a bit.
"..I can't close the gap" she said just high enough for him to hear
"Hmm? Why" he breathed back
"I'm too embarrassed." She blushed
He placed his arm on her back and pushed her closer to him while somewhat carrying her with his other arm and whithin seconds they're lips had pressed for not more than 3 seconds though it felt like it lasted minutes
It didn't matter how long their first kiss lasted because they would then go in for a second, and many more until they lost count.
One on the cheek, beside the eye, on the neck, even one on the hand since Ororon felt like a gentleman for a bit.
The rest of the night was filled with innocent kisses, mostly from Ororon, and bubbly giggles, mostly from Varesa, from his ticklish kisseh up until Varesa told Ororon that she was tired and to that he replied by carrying her to her bed where she cuddled against him the rest of the night
