50 Types of Kisses - Prompts

Well, apparently I don’t have enough to do (at least my crazy creator self tells me as much) and as the Advent Calendar is coming along rather beautifully, I thought about starting another prompt list.

You know how it works: Send me a number and a captive prince pairing (I mostly write Laurent/Damen, but I’ll do my best for other pairings as well) and I’ll write a drabble (up to 1000 words). I’m looking forward to all of your asks. The original post is here.

Small kisses littered across the other’s face.

A small, fleeting kiss - which is immediately followed by a passionate, hungry kiss.

A breathy demand: “Kiss me” - and what the other person does to respond.

An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose.

Throwing their arms around the other person’s neck, hugging them close before kissing them passionately on the lips.

Wild, breathless kisses brought on by a heartfelt gift.

French kisses where they trace every tooth with their tongues as though trying to memorize them.

Laying a gentle kiss to the back of the other’s hand.

A kiss that lasts so long, they are sharing each other’s breaths.

A hello/good-bye kiss that is given without thinking - where neither person thinks twice about it.

Morning kisses that are exchanged before either person opens their eyes, kissing blindly until their lips meet in a blissful encounter.

Sneaking away to a hidden corner to share a secretive kiss.

Butterfly kisses against the other’s cheeks.

A kiss so desperate that the two wind around each other, refusing to let go until they are finished.

A fierce kiss that ends with a bite on the lip, soothing it with a lick.

One person pouting, only to have it removed by a kiss from the other person.

Tucking their hands beneath the other person’s shirt, just to watch them break the kiss and gasp in surprise at the sensation of cold/warm hands on their skin.

Teasing kisses where one person blows air into the other’s mouth and runs away.

One person stopping a kiss to ask “Do you want to do this?”, only to have the other person answer with a deeper, more passionate kiss.

Kissing in a stairwell, giving them an artificial height difference.

A chaste kiss given to each other because they are in mixed company.

A kiss that is leading to more, but is interrupted by a third party.

A kiss that tastes of the food/dessert they are eating.

Deep kisses where they have their hands tangled in each other’s hair to pull them closer.

Wet kisses after finding refuge from the rain.

Brushing a kiss along the shell of the other person’s ear.

Kisses exchanged while one person sits on the other’s lap.

One person tracing the other’s lips with a fingertip until they can’t resist any longer, tilting their chin towards them for a kiss.

Staring at each other’s lips for a moment before moving closer, as if drawn together by some unseen force.

Weak, sweaty kisses because it’s unbearably hot.

Pulling away from a kiss, whispering words of love against each other’s lips.

A kiss so passionate, so perfect - that after they part, neither person can open their eyes for a few moments afterwards.

An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving it.

Kisses that start on their fingers and run up their arm, eventually ending on their lips.

An awkward kiss given after a first date.

Starting with eskimo kisses before moving on to soft kisses.

Cleaning the other person’s lips with a lick and a kiss.

Whispering “I love you” before a chaste, delicate kiss.

Kissing tears from the other’s face.

A gentle kiss that quickly descends into passion, with little regard for what’s going on around them.

Kisses shared under an umbrella.

Distracting kisses from someone that are meant to stop the other person from finishing their work, and give them kisses instead.

A kiss pressed to the top of the head.

Tentative kisses given in the dark.

Kisses exchanged as they move around, hitting the edges of tables or nearly tripping over things on the floor before making it to the sofa, or bed.

A lingering kiss before a long trip apart.

A kiss paired with a tight hug, knocking the breath out of the person being hugged.

One person has to bend down in order to kiss their partner, who is standing on their tip-toes to reach their partner’s.

Short and sweet kiss after meeting up for a date.

A kiss, followed by more that trail down the jaw and neck.

Writing Tip June 4th

A list of body language phrases.

I’ve included a very comprehensive list, organized by the type of body movement, hand and arm movements, facial expressions etc. In some cases, a phrase fits more than one heading, so it may appear twice. Possible emotions are given after each BL phrase unless the emotion is indicated within the phrase. (They are underlined for emphasis, not due to a hyperlink.)

Note: I’ve included a few body postures and body conditions as they are non-verbal testimony to the character’s physical condition.

––––––––––––––––

Take a Stand

The crowd quieted down as they settled down in the gallery and the jury entered the courtroom. Todoroki looked at his right where his mother sat next to him in front of the jury, she was fidgeting and uneasy as his father took on the opposite table on his left. Endeavor wore a frown, matched with a mean glare as he sat with his lawyers.

“All rise” someone called out, Shōto was not sure but he followed with the motions. He saw the judge enter from a door on the right and sat on the bench in front of him, followed by the jury who sat back down in their seats. He could hear Endeavor scoff as another person was talking, but he couldn’t hear any of what was being told. But he managed to catch a few words, his full name, age, occupation and hero name followed by those of his father and the case.

He looked down at the table trying to calm down and figure out which emotion he should be feeling at the moment. But he was angry, sad, happy, scared, anxious and worried. Lawyers were called up to explain the case before the judge and the jury, he could feel his mother squeeze his hands.

“I would like to call our first witness up to the stand,” his lawyer spoke, “Todoroki Rei, may you please give your testimony?”

Another squeeze and his mother stood up and went to testify, speaking about how her husband had abused her and her children, how she suffered a mental breakdown and was locked away in mental facility. It took her longer than anticipated for her to tell her whole story, giving detailed accounts about some gruesome stuff that not even her children where privy to.

The judge announced the start of a break in order for both parties to recollect themselves and prepare for the second group of witnesses. Shōto slid out of the side door after giving his mother a hug and met up with Midoriya in the hallway, avoiding his father while making the escape.

“Hey,” Midoriya called out as he saw Shōto walking hurriedly towards him. Strong muscular arms wrapping around his lean body, holding him in a warm embrace. A shaky breathe left his mouth as he reciprocated the embrace, “I didn’t know it went that far,” he spoke softly into green hair.

“It’s going to be okay, Shoucchan,” Midoriya whispered back, rubbing soothing circles on his boyfriend’s back, “there is enough evidence against Endeavor, it’s a public trial, the whole world knows what kind of person he is and even if he bribes the jury, the truth is out.”

“Zuku,” Shōto mumbled back, “what did I ever do to deserve you.”

“hmmm…” Izuku hummed as he looked up to Shōto and pressed his lips against Shōto’s. Pulling away, the shorter male intertwined his fingers with the taller’s and pulled him towards a chair around a corner, away from the crowd and media. They sat there in silence for the next half hour until they were all called back in the room.

The witness questioning continued, first with Fuyumi, then Natsuo with the lawyers asking questions focusing about their mother and Shōto, they then asked about Tōya. Asking relentlessly about the older son, about how a child thought to have been dead had become a dangerous villain, a key member of the League of Villains.

Unfortunately for them, Tōya had burned out in desperation as he tried to kill their father one last time. The older son may have lost life but his efforts were ever present, Endeavor had severe burns and scars all over his body, his left leg had been amputated and the nerves of his right arm severely damaged.

The judge ordered another half our break before the questioning resumed once again, with the last Todoroki family witness to be called upon the stand was Shōto. The young Pro Hero stood up slowly and stiffly as he walked towards the stand, he raised his right hand as he repeated the oath to tell the truth.

“Please state your name, age and occupation,” his lawyer spoke in an authoritative tone, the crease lines on his forehead making him look much older.

“My name is Todoroki Shōto, I am 23 years old and I am a Pro Hero under the name Shōto,” the dual haired man spoke, his heart beating loudly in his ears. He answered the next series of questions truthfully, not withholding any parts of the truth, he spoke about his mother and his sibling, about how that man had treated them.

“And how did your father treat you?” the lawyer asked.

Shōto looked at his father as he was about to answer the question, repeating in his mind that the man has no power over him whatsoever. However, the instance that he locked eyes with his father, the young hero suddenly found himself in their training room throwing up his lunch.

He was transported back to that house, he was a child with no power or strength to say stop. It was like his father was daring him to disobey, a promise of a harsh punishment behind his eyes. Shōto closed his eyes and took in a deep breathe, he opened them to look into emerald green eyes. Eyes that brought him comfort and peace.

He recounted his earlier memories and went from there, recalling every time his father got home angry and beat him up with the excuse of training, how he took away his mother, how he isolating a young boy from his family. He spoke about how vowed to never use his fire in training or in battle, and that his father got extremely harsh when Shōto refused to use his fire.

“Objection your honor,” Endeavor’s lawyer yelled as he stood up abruptly. The hero pitied the guy who was defending his father, the moment the case was opened, Endeavor had lost.

The judge sighed as he sustained the objection and let the attorney continue, “Your honor, the witness claims to have vowed to never use his fire, but alas Todoroki-San you are contradicting yourself, as an active pro hero and while you were in training in UA you have used your fire in both training stimulations and while on the field,”

“Someone had knocked some sense in me,” Shōto replied, “I had refused to use my left side out of pettiness, yes I admit that but it was harming me and during the sports festival in my first year at UA, a fellow student had knocked some sense into me by telling me that it was MY power and not my father’s”

“Your honor,” Endeavor’s lawyer looked at the judge once more, knowing that it was not his turn yet to question Shōto.

“To continue off,” Shōto’s lawyer brushed the unwanted interruption and continued asking more questions that would pile on as evidence against Endeavor, “in the statement earlier you said that a fellow student told you that it was your power and not Endeavor’s, what do you mean by that?”

“Ever since my quirk manifested I was lead to believe that it was Endeavor’s flames, and that it was his quirk that I am using,” Shōto answered, “every time my father would refer it as his flames, that it was his power that I have inherited, and in a way as a child I had truly believed that and never thought of my quirk as my own.”

The audience started murmuring and whispering to each other, some reporters already trying to dissect the statement and how it could impact society. Shōto’s lawyer continued questioning until he finished, it was then that Endeavor’s lawyer had started his cross examination.

He started with simple questions, which then turned into deeper questions that were meant to guilt trip him, but when that didn’t work, the lawyer resulting into gas lighting tactics, just like what he did with Rei. Shōto knew that the man was trying to do his job, but he wished that he had used other methods instead of emotional manipulation.

“Now Todoroki-San, you said that someone had knocked sense in you in your first year at UA,” the lawyer began, and at Shōto’s nod he continued, “does that mean that there is another person who is not a family member who was told of these accusations but had not acted on them?”

“Objection your Honor!” Shōto’s lawyer shouted.

“Overruled,” The judge groaned, and Shōto had to wonder if the old man was about to throw a fit and tell Endeavor to suck it.

“Let me rephrase that,” the lawyer began, “is there someone who is not a family member that was aware of the accusation while they were happening?”

Shōto gulped and looked at Midoriya, the shorter hero nodded, silently telling Shōto to continue, “I would say they are currently family, but back then we were complete strangers.”

Another fit of murmurs and whispers broke into the courtroom, and the judge had to silence everyone once again, allowing the pro hero to recall the incident of the sports festival. He could remember that day clearly, how he declared war on Midoriya Izuku, a boy with bone shattering strength. How he lost to the boy in the first event of the sports festival, and how he took the second round as a personal loss instead even though his team won the first place. He emphasized on how he refused to use his left side during the first half of the tournament and that he had accidentally and unconsciously set his left arm on fire during the cavalry battle.

Then it was that private conversation in the corridor, and then running into Endeavor and being put in a bad mood during his first one on one battle. And then Midoriya was his opponent, the boy began breaking every bone in his fingers, determined to make Shōto understand the truth about his power.

The crowd once again had broke into low whispers and the judge was almost fed up with them. It took them several seconds to quiet again and for the questioning to resume, “And what is your relationship to this Midoriya Izuku?” Endeavor’s lawyer asked, and he could see his father’s fist and jaw clenching tightly.

“Midoriya Izuku had become a friend after the sports festival,” Shōto explained, “and then we started dating halfway during our second year and I am currently living with him.”

Several members opened their mouths to start talking again before the judge knocked on his gavel, “order in the courtroom please, if anyone speaks I will ask them leave.”

“Midoriya Izuku is currently known as the pro hero Deku,” Shōto announced, “I have confided in him because I knew that he would keep it a secret and that he knew that I would not want to build my career on Endeavor’s ashes or destroy my credibility as an aspiring hero if I came forward with the truth when I was a teenager, I know that my father would bribe the media into thinking it was a lie and that I was delusional, it is the same way he acted when he found out that I was in fact gay and not straight and that I was dating All Might’s student, he tried to bury the truth.”

Shōto did not know why but his emotions were threading on anger right now, with how Endeavor’s lawyer was treating him like a delusional child and a liar at that. But it seems like Endeavor forgot how far a determined Todoroki would go, and that meant that Shōto would not care at that moment if he told the whole world every one of his little secrets and his private life with Izuku as long as he got to take Endeavor down.

The court session continued on for three more hours, with Endeavor being questioned and cross examined by both lawyers, before the jury went to decide if Endeavor was guilty or not. Shōto whispered in his mother’s ear before he turned to see Izuku standing behind the galley railing by their table.

“Hey Rei,” the green haired hero called, “you did good, all of you were amazing.”

“Zuku,” Shōto mumbled as he looked slightly downcast. Midoriya looked at Shōto in confusion, with an eyebrow raised and a hand running soothly over Shōto’s hand. The younger of the two heroes mumbled incoherent words much to Izuku’s dismay.

“Shoucchan, I honestly don’t understand a word you’re saying,” Midoriya sighed as he grabbed Shōto by the chin so that they could see eye to eye.

“Never mind,” Todoroki sighed, “I’ll tell you at home.”

“Izuku honey,” his mother spoke, “thank you for the support.”

“Why don’t you guys all come over to our place tonight?” Izuku asked, looking at Shōto with a mischievous smile.

Just as Shōto was about to answer, the jury had come back in and everyone scrambled back to their seats. Izuku took a seat in the front row, just behind the Todoroki children’s table. “The jury has reached a verdict and found the defendant, Todoroki Enji, known as the pro hero Endeavor, guilty on the following charges, quirk marriage, spousal abuse, sexual abuse, child neglect and abuse, bribery of law enforcement officers and abuse of power” a member of the jury spoke, “he is sentenced to 20 years of prison with a chance of probation after 15 years of good behaviour, also the defendant is to attend anger management classes and have a psychiatric evaluation on a yearly basis.”

All three of the Todoroki children cheered in glee as their father was no longer going to be part of their lives, “the defendant will also have to provide child support money and cover the expenses resulted from emotional damage to his wife and children,” another jury member spoke. But Shōto doesn’t care about any of that, all he knows is that he is as far away from his father as possible and that he couldn’t be any happier than that.

The following hour passed in a blur, his family spoke to the lawyer in order to process a few things and the next moment he was in a car sitting in the front seat as Izuku drove to their home. His mother, sister and brother were sitting in the back, all of them in different stages of crying.

He couldn’t believe that they won.

As he laid in the bed next to Izuku, all Shōto could think was how the other hero had helped him in many ways. “Hey Shoucchan what where you mumbling before the jury came back?” Izuku asked as he ran his fingers through red locks of hair, thumb caressing the edges of that nasty scar.

“I was saying that I’m sorry for airing out our private affairs during the trial,” Shōto began. This made Izuku let out a few giggles and press their lips together in a loving kiss.

“You can scream about our sex lives from the rooftops if it meant that you and your family would never have to deal with that trashcan ever again.”

“hmmm…” Shōto smiled, “you know that for a moment there when I was called to the stand and I looked at my father, I was suddenly that weak and helpless child”

“You are not weak.”

“I know,” Shōto began, “I was faltering there for a few seconds but then I looked into your eyes and just remembered that even though it was a shitty situation, you were there, your eyes reminded me that there is good in life.”

“Shōto,” Izuku whispered softly, tears in his eyes, “you deserve all the happiness in the world, you know that right?”

“You keep telling me everytime,” Shōto chuckled as Izuku rolled over and hovered over Shōto, pressing their lips together. “Now what will I have done without MY Hero,” Shōto smirked as pressed another kiss on Izuku’s lips, knowing full well that things were about to get hot.

A/N: I know that in my time zone it is no longer the 9th but it still is in other time zones so hopefully it would work somehow. Also I was swamped with many projects and I wasn’t planning on participating this year, but I decided to do this on a whim and it isn’t as good as I hoped it to be.
