(5th, and 7th onee!! omfg 12th one PLSPLS somebody write and tag mee!)
hesitant kisses, but when they part one whispers "do it again. please."
hands caressing your neck or tracing your jaw as they kiss you nuts
their lips on yours, hot, feverish, partly sucking, teasing with their tongue (OMG-)
heated kisses - their hands on your bare skin, yours in their soft hair, lips nibbling, biting, moaning into yours, while heavily breathing after.
"love, don't hide your face, don't.." hands gently removing yours from your flushed face. "you make me fluster." you say, but they kiss you through those words and mumble against your lips, "you fluster me more, sweetheart."
kisses trailing down your chin, leaving love bites on your neck, chest, and all the shyness in between > < feeling their hot, sloppy wet kisses all over ur body, everywhere and beneath your stomach, and above it. :')
"i don't know how to kiss but let me kiss you, and I'll do it just right." (on my damn knees ffr)
moving to gasp for air, but the other still leans in, eyes closed, lips parted, absolutely wanting more!!! a string of saliva connecting each other's lips!!
hugs after kisses, that lasts several heartbeats long, as they nuzzle their face in your crook. kissing there as well, shyly smiling into it. (fyi im single since birth and haven't experienced ANY OF THESE BEFORE.)
"kiss me again, but- mphh"
cupping your lover's cheek. staring into their eyes with a grin before the kiss, their hands curling around your neck, anticipating it.
"lay down, love and let me do you how you deserve it."

-:First kiss dialogues & scenarios:-
(Ok but, 5, 8, and 10 are my faves, tag me!!)
By @me-writes-prompts
"Can we do that again, please?"
Person A and Person B sneak away from their friends because they kept teasing them about how they should have already had their first kisses. They kiss each other in the end(definitely because they wanted to, for so long)."
"Your lips are so soft."
"You taste better than I expected." (A bit sexy, this one lol)
"You're so red, are you okay?"
"I can hear your heart beating, relax."
Person B takes Person A on a date, as "friends". But they later end up confessing their feelings and making out.
Person A is nervous when Person B leans in, so they back away a bit. Person B tells them that 'it's okay, we don't have to do this if you're not-', but before they can finish, Person A kisses them.
Person A end up confessing their feelings when they are drunk, they didn't expect Person B to reciprocate their feelings. A has difficulty believing them, and B kisses them to prove it.
First kiss as childhood best friends(who were separated), and then first kiss as adults.
"How are you so good at kissing?"
"Did we really just do that?"
Blushing and kissing again, until their lips are swollen.

lowkey projecting LOL, enjoy!
➻ “may i kiss you” with hesitant nods as a response from you
➻ feeling that your heart is about to leap out of your chest
➻ not knowing where to wrap your hands around and the other realizes this, so they guide your hands around their waist or neck

➻ “can we do it again but longer this time?”
➻ tender, exploring kisses while you feel your cheeks burning up
➻ hiding in your partner’s neck/chest out of shyness

➻ you getting addicted, the only thought that comes to mind is "more"
➻ “was that okay?” “it was more than okay”
➻ “sorry i’m inexperienced i don’t know how to kiss you properly“ “it’s fine, you can gain experience with me”
➻ then pulling them in with sloppy heated kisses and tugging a bit too hard on their shirt
➻ foreheads touching together after breaking the kiss, the sound of heavy breathing fills up the room
➻ peppering your face with delicate pecks after
➻ “let’s leave it off here, if we go further i won’t be able to hold myself back”

Also i saw that you eanted ppl to put 2 backup characters and prompts so my backup characters are lilia and leona and my backup prompts are the fairytale scene and the taste of salt :D (also romantic)
Take ur time and ty ! 😍
Tandem Bike; Floyd Leech
Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, established relationship
Content Warning; Swearing(?), semi-serious mortal peril /hj
Word Count; 650+
Author's Note; I hope you know how to ride a bike, cuz Floyd is no help in the matter! Hope you enjoy!
As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist
Tumblr media
“I don’t think this is a good idea, Floyd,” you gulped, looking down the hill.
Floyd laughed behind you on the tandem bicycle, and you could feel the bike reverberate from it. “Ehhh, are ya scared?~” 
You dug your heels into the ground, making sure that the both of you wouldn’t end up going down the hill without knowing where you were going. The last thing you needed was to hit a pothole or a big enough rock and end up getting hurt. “Not scared,” you huffed, “just thinking.”
Floyd rolled his eyes, “We’ll just be up here all day then! Come on, Shrimpy.” He nudged your feet, but you dug your feet in further, cementing the bike into place. Floyd sighed and slumped his head on your shoulder. “You were the one that wanted to ride this thingy, but now you’re gettin’ cold feet about it?”
You took in a deep breath. Yes, it was your idea to take the cute tandem bike you found in the shed out for a spin, but your cycling partner had never ridden a bike before, and you also didn’t want to crash. “Just give me a minute, okay.” You clenched your hands on and off the brakes.
Floyd just looked at you curiously, before a wild smile took over his face. And when you eased up on the brakes again, he pushed you both forward. “Minute’s up!~”
And down the hill you went. Being angry could wait for later, as your main concern was making sure you were both staying upright and avoiding the aforementioned potholes and rocks. Floyd was cackling behind you, helping you steer a bit, but mainly just enjoying the wind wiping up his hair and watering up his eyes. And eventually, you started slowing down, coming to a more manageable pace that didn’t leave your hands clenching for dear life on the handlebars. But once you came to a complete stop you exploded in laughter; a mix of relief that you hadn’t died, of pure joy, and the infectious cackle that was coming from behind you.
“See, Shrimpy! That was fun,” Floyd poked you in the back. 
You got off the bike, legs a bit shaky from the adrenaline. “Yeah, it was a little bit fun.” Wait, I'm supposed to be mad at him! You could never stay mad at him for very long though.
Well, gravity is a thing, a thing that Floyd was not accounting for, and he wasn’t supporting the bike up, so he and the bike tumbled to the ground. And instead of sulking, he just laughed and got right back up.
“Wanna go again?~ This time I’ll steer!” He laughed, and hugged you, squeezing you gently.
You let out a long sigh, decompressing. “No, absolutely not,” you pushed against him slightly so you could put your hands on his shoulders.
Floyd pouted, “You’re no fun ya know.” There was no bite, he was just being pouty since he was planning on making you shriek as you both had no idea where you were going, but downhill, and downhill fast.
You hummed, kissing his cheek to bring him out of the dour mood. “And you’re no fun if you can’t go on little adventures with me. Can’t do that if we crash on that cursed thing,” you pointed your chin at the bike.
Floyd looked briefly at the bike before turning his attention back to you. “Okay, okay, okay, I got the memo, Shrimpy…” He placed a quick kiss and bite on your lips before pulling back with a wink, taking a look at his handy work. 
You could feel the slight sting. His bite wasn’t sharp enough to draw blood, but it was enough to make them puffy. “Are you proud of your handiwork?” 
“Mhm!~” Floyd pressed another kiss to your lips, but this time it was gentle, soothing the stinging sensation.
And you bit his lip back, deciding that you deserved some sweet vengeance.
Floyd pulled back, and the shocked look on his face turned into pure glee and he was doubled over laughing again. “Damn, Shrimpy! I should do that more often!~”
Wait, what?

kissing prompts 💛
(romantic + queerplatonic) (no tongue)
Tumblr media
an accidental kiss on the corner of the mouth.
a very gentle peck on the lips, not wanting to overwhelm you or push your boundaries.
a hurried kiss before parting ways that holds unspoken words of adoration.
a firm kiss, perhaps a bit too overeager, grateful for something you did for them.
a kiss for luck.
a fluffy make-out session with no French kissing, just soft, tender kisses and cuddling.
a kiss meant to share oxygen in a dire situation, resulting in an extended lip-lock for minutes on end.
kissing you to keep you warm on a cold day.
kissing to unlock some sort of magical power.
a farewell kiss that turns out not to be a farewell.
kissing in an attempt to understand each other, perhaps starting out angry, frustrated, and becoming gentler and more empathetic as the curious pecks continue.
kissing as part of a game, especially if you and/or them have never kissed anyone before. perhaps it's a bit clumsy, but the heart's there.
kissing to annoy a third party.
putting on lip gloss/balm before the kiss, having fun sharing different flavors.
saving you and your partner's first kiss together for your wedding day, and not being able to stop kissing.

may 6 - first kiss - @wolfstarmicrofic - 494 words
(tw: underage drinking)
It started with a truth or drink game in the Gryffindor common room. Some of the upperclassmen had snuck firewhiskey into the castle and drinks were poured.
It was the Marauders’ fourth year at Hogwarts and the party had subsequently turned into their kind of event. An hour in there was a group of tipsy fourteen and fifteen year olds left in the public space. The seventh and sixth years had disappeared, mostly in pairs, or snuck out to other houses’ dormitories.
Marlene McKinnon had asked the question, “Lupin, who was your first kiss?” she grinned at him and winked.
Remus had looked at her and shook his head tiredly, he downed a shot. James had begun to laugh, teasing Remus, pestering him to know why he wouldn’t tell them. Sirius pondered from his spot on the sofa.
Later Sirius retired to their dorm, Remus following close behind. James stuck back to attempt, drunkenly, to ask out Evans again. Peter had opted to watch over him.
Sirius kicked off his socks and fell into the bed, awaiting a chide from Remus about sleeping in his outside clothes, but none came. He sat up and looked to the other boy.
“Why didn’t you answer the question, Moony?” he asked curiously.
Remus paused in his step and turned to Sirius. He raised an eyebrow at him and shook his head.
Sirius stood and walked over to Remus, curiosity peaked, “Who’d you kiss, Moons?” he teased, grinning. Remus turned away from him, unwilling to even respond. Sirius groaned and blew air at the back of Remus’s neck, pouting.
“Stop it,” Remus muttered, hand coming to rub at the back of his neck where goosebumps had formed.
“Come on! You don’t keep secrets from your fellow marauders,” Sirius insisted, voice taking on a bit of a whine, “Why won’t you tell me?”
At last Remus turned to face him, eyes downcast and hand raking through his hair. He sighed and spoke, with a bit of irritation in his tone, “Because I haven’t had it yet, Sirius,” he admitted, embarrassed.
Sirius fell silent, both at the admission and at the way Remus had called him Sirius instead of Padfoot. 
Just a sound slipped out of his lips, a half formed word, “Oh…”
Remus scoffed softly under his breath, shaking his head and breathing inconsistently, “Yeah, oh.”
Sirius bit his lip, “Well, we could change that?” he offered, voice less confident than he’d meant it to sound.
Remus turned to him in astonishment. The two half wasted boys stared each other down, eyes weirdly squinty and Sirius blinking about twice as much as normal.
After a moment of silence, Remus shook his head back and forth and his mouth gaped slightly, “W-what?” he finally got out, voice full of pure bewilderment.
At last, Sirius smiled at him and ducked forward. He tilted his head up and pulled Remus’s head downward by his collar to press a kiss to his lips.

Some short kisses prompts with dialogue to give your readers butterflies
1. The Unexpected Encounter:
"You're... you're the one I've been searching for," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the bustling crowd. And without another word, their lips met in a stolen, electrifying kiss.
2. The Rainy Embrace:
"Come closer," she said, her voice filled with longing. As they sought shelter under a narrow awning, their lips met in a rain-kissed embrace, sealing their unspoken desires.
3. The Moonlit Whispers:
"Stay with me," he murmured under the soft glow of the moon. In that tender moment, their lips met in a gentle, soul-stirring kiss, as whispered promises of forever echoed in the night.
4. The Firework Sparks:
"I can't resist you," she confessed, her eyes fixed on the mesmerizing fireworks illuminating the sky. And in that explosive moment, their lips collided in a passionate kiss, leaving them breathless and craving more.
5. The Balcony Serenade:
"I've been waiting for this," he said, his voice filled with anticipation. With a surge of courage, he crossed the street towards her, sealing their connection with a sweet, balcony-kiss that resonated with promises of a love yet to fully bloom.
6. The Forbidden Affection:
"Let's defy them together," he declared, his voice filled with determination. Hidden away, their lips met in a fervent, forbidden kiss—a daring act that kindled a flame of rebellion and undying devotion.
7. The First Light of Dawn:
"Let's embrace this new day," she whispered, her eyes reflecting the colors of the sunrise. And as the sun peeked over the horizon, their lips brushed together in a sunrise-kiss, symbolizing the beginning of an unforgettable journey.
8. The Wandering Adventurers:
"Let's explore the world together," he proposed, his voice brimming with excitement. With the world as their witness, their lips united in a passionate, wanderlust-infused kiss—a promise to embark on life's adventures hand in hand.
9. The Sweet Innocence:
"Can I?" he asked, his voice filled with gentleness and anticipation. And with a shy smile, they leaned in for a butterfly-kiss—a chaste gesture that held the promise of a thousand untold adventures.
10. The Homecoming Embrace:
"I missed you," she whispered, her voice filled with longing and love. After a long separation, their lips reunited in a tender, homecoming kiss. In that moment, time stood still, and the world around them faded away, leaving only their love and longing.

Hehe, the first kiss prompts are irresistible! 😂💙 I’ve got a request, if you find it inspiring, and if not, feel free to ignore!
How about hands on the cheeks… with whomever you are most feelin? 🥹 Just that deliciously satisfying yearning finally coming to fruition? 🙈
Fun to read if you choose to write it! 💙
AHHHH I'm so sorry it took me so long to answer this, I've been so caught up in work and writing other stuff but AHHH I FINALLY DID IT!
I went with Hunter, because it just seemed right to me, I hope you like it!
Word count: 2626 Pairing: Hunter x Reader (no name) Rating: M (blood, minor injury, peril, darkness, lots of angst, pining, premature mourning) Please let me know if I missed anything! And thank you so much for the prompt!
“Look out!”
Hunter’s warning came too late for you to respond, the ground beneath you trembling with the force of the cave-in rapidly gaining on your position.
Damn Cid, you thought to yourself, panting for breath as you sprinted forward, Omega by your side, damn her and her stupid missions. The cache she’d bought the location for had been empty, and you’d already known this mission was going to be a disaster when the rain started pouring the moment you touched down.
Now, the rocks that made up the old cave system had finally buckled with the movement of the ground thanks to the water above, beginning with small creaks and groans, quickly turning into certain death, the rocks crashing behind you creating splintering crevasses in the ground.
You first felt your foot slip as the ground opened up beneath you, Omega’s shrill shriek ringing in your ears as the sensation of falling overtook you.
It wasn’t even a conscious thought as you reached for Omega, using all of your strength to grab ahold of her jacket and throw her away from the rapidly growing hole in the ground, her eyes wide as Wrecker caught her midair and turned to run, your footing failing you.
As Omega screamed your name helplessly, Hunter turned, watching in horror as your eyes met seconds before you slipped out of view, consumed by complete and utter darkness.
Rocks and dirt crashed around you, one last deep breath taken as you landed with a sickening crunch onto hard ground, eyes closing as you waited for the end.
The groaning of rock on rock above you made you flinch, like nails on chalkboard, screaming in your ears while tiny streams of dirt and pebbles pelted your face.
Raising your hand in defense, an utterly useless motion against tonnes of rock, you chastised yourself internally, you waited. And waited.
The noise of the collapse faded, the steady flow of dirt and rocks dying out as the world around you settled, no longer tickling your face.
Daring to open your eyes, you found the exercise useless; pure, pitch black surrounded you, blinding you to your surroundings.
Swallowing hard, you dared to move a little, breath hitching as a few rocks fell from the gaps in your armour onto the floor below.
Feeling around, your hands came to rest on a large slab of rock above you, tracing the jagged edges to the sides of the crevasse; it had been caught mere feet above you by sheer luck, your lungs burning as you inhaled a shuddering breath, barely holding back manic laughter.
You’d survived the fall, and narrowly avoided being crushed by the falling rocks, but now you were faced with another problem; escaping your new prison.
Slowing your breathing, your thoughts drifted to Hunter, Omega and the others, tears burning in your eyes.
They were safe. They’d made it out. But Hunter’s scream of your name when he’d seen you fall, the expression in his eyes as he’d watched helplessly… it only added to the regret building inside you.
You should have told him. You should have been honest. You should have admitted you loved him months ago, when you figured it out yourself, a night you’d spent watching stars with him on top of the Marauder, your head laid on his chest as meteors scorched through the inky blackness overhead.
His warmth had radiated through every inch of your body, sending pleasant shivers through you as his hands ran up and down your arms, trying to warm you even more.
You’d come so close to kissing him then, your eyes locked with each others, flickering down to his lips and his to yours, a question in his gaze you wanted so badly to answer.
But as you were about to meet, eyes fluttering closed, preparing to brush your lips together, you jolted apart at Wrecker’s shout as he came out to relieve Hunter of watch, clambering up onto the roof with you and joining in your star watching.
And now… Now you might never get the chance.
The thought awoke something in you, some deep determination you didn’t even realise you possessed.
You were not going to die like this. You were going to find a way out, back to your friends, you family. And you were going to tell Hunter how you felt.
As you nodded to yourself, a soft sound floated through the darkness, the loss of your vision enhancing your other senses to an almost painful degree. Holding your breath, you tilted your head slightly, hope flaring in your heart; it was water… Running water!
If you could find your way to it, there may be an exit to the outside.
With one last firm nod, you steeled yourself, drawing a deep, shuddering breath as you scrambled to your feet and began feeling your way along the walls of the cave, following the sound.
*-*-*
“You must calm down, Hunter,” Tech ordered sternly as he watched Wrecker lift their brother away from the bloodied rocks that blocked what was once the entrance to the cave they had just escaped from, the sergeant’s limbs flailing wildly as he fought against the grip holding him, tears streaming down his face.
“No, no! I need… we need to get her, to get her out!”
Wrecker’s expression was one of pure anguish as he sat Hunter down on a rock next to Omega the young girl’s legs pulled up to her chest, her body rocking as she cried silent tears of her own.
“Your current emotional state is of no use to anyone,” Tech informed him flatly, bending down as Wrecker stepped away, his hands held out as if trying to placate Hunter, like he might bolt back to the rocks at any moment, “we need to think about this clearly and rationally.”
Hunter shook his head, hands trembling as Tech tutted, grabbing his medkit from one of the pouches on his belt and examining his brother’s tattered fingers, the nails broken and ragged from clawing desperately at the rocks, small red rivulets dropping onto the floor below.
“I should, should have been there,” Hunter gasped, wincing as Tech sprayed his wounds with disinfectant, quickly adding bacta and beginning to wrap his fingers one by one, “I should… should have stayed close. She… she’s…”
Wrecker’s breath hitched as he collapsed on the rock Omega was sat on, shaking his head.
“Don’t say it, Hunter,” he pleaded, opening his arm to his sister as she let out a sob, crawling into his lap seeking comfort, “please… don’t…”
“It’s my fault,” Omega sniffed wetly from his arms, every breath hitching as she cried into his chest, “if I hadn’t fallen, if she hadn’t come back for me…”
Behind them, Echo crested the small hill, coming back into view from his trip to the Marauder, a seismic scanner hung around his neck by a frayed canvas strap. He paused as he heard Omega’s sobbing, taking in the sight of his brothers, his jaw clenching.
“Hey, what’s with the tears?” he called sternly, moving to stand in front of them as Tech finished with Hunter’s bandages, the sergeant staring at the ground in despair. “I thought we were getting ready for a rescue?”
“She’s gone,” Hunter croaked, his tone utterly broken, “I… I can’t hear her. Can’t… can’t feel her heartbeat…”
He’d been straining himself since the moment he’d lost sight of her, the fear in her eyes scorched forever into his memory. The settling earth murmured beneath them, the clouds above swelled and flowed across the sky, the sound of a small river a few kilometres away drifted through the air, but that was it.
Every one of the Batch’s heartbeats rang in his ears, but not hers.
Echo frowned at him, waving the seismic scanner in annoyance.
“Why do you think I’ve got this?” he questioned, frustrated as he moved towards Omega, crouching down in front of her. “The rock is too thick for Hunter to hear through. She might have fallen in deep, but she’s tough, like us. We’ll find her using this, and we’ll get her out, yeah?”
Tech frowned, rolling his eyes at his brother.
“The likelihood of her having survived a fall and the subsequent rockslide, along with the risks presented by exposure and dehydration make her chances of survival…”
“Enough,” Echo snapped back at the engineer, snarling as tears conftinued to drip onto the dusty ground at Hunter’s feet, the cyborg letting out a sigh. “We’ve survived worse odds than this. We’ve been through the ringer, and we’re all still here. We’re not giving up, you hear? We’ll get her back.”
Omega nodded, sniffing away her tears and wiping furiously at her face, steeling her expression as met Echo’s gaze, nodding to the seismic scanner.
“I want to help,” she croaked, “tell me how.”
Echo smiled weakly at her, his own emotions welling in his chest. He knew the chances were slim, but so were his chances of survival the Citadel. And yet here he was.
“Atta girl,” he smiled, jerking his head back as he looked at Wrecker. “Tech will come with me. Wreck, stay with Hunter. Make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid.”
“Gotcha,” Wrecker managed, forcing a smile as he let Omega down from his lap, clapping a large hand on her shoulder in comfort. “Echo’s right, kid. We’ll find her, ‘kay?”
“‘Kay,” Omega replied with a weak smile, fighting back more tears as she latched herself to Echo’s side, the cyborg ignoring the pointed look from Tech as they moved towards the cave entrance, firing up the scanner.
Hunter remained silent as Wrecker came to sat next to him, unsure of what to do. He’d never seen Hunter in a state like this, almost catatonic.
“Ya… ya doin’ okay, Hunter?” he prompted carefully, frowning when his brother huffed in annoyance. “Look, I know it looks bad, but Echo’s right! We’ve been through a lot. She’s tough. If anyone could survive…”
“I should have told her,” Hunter interrupted him, Wrecker drawing back a little to look over Hunter, confused by the statement.
“Uh… Told her what?”
“How I felt,” Hunter breathed, closing his eyes tightly, more fat tears falling into the dirt, staining the earth with his grief. “I… I had so many chances… and I… I couldn’t. She deserves better than a clone. Better than me. I let her down. I’ve done it again, let her fall…”
When he finally looked up, meeting Wrecker’s gaze, there was an utterly broken look in his eyes, one that caused Wrecker’s throat to tighten uncomfortably.
“I love her, Wreck… I love her, and I… I didn’t… I’ll never get to tell her. I… I’m so stupid…”
Falling back into silence, Hunter looked up to the sky, drawing in deep shuddering breaths.
“Ya can’t blame yourself, Hunter,” Wrecker tried desperate, laying a hand on his brother’s shoulder, “she knew what she was doing. She saved ‘Mega.”
“And I should have been there,” Hunter hissed through gritted teeth, anger growing from his sadness, “I should have…”
A sudden splashing sound caught his attention, distant, but clear.
Wrecker began to speak again, but quickly fell silent as Hunter shushed him, standing up and closing his eyes, listening intently.
Tech, Echo and Omega were still at the cave entrance, conversing lowly, the soft hum of the seismic sensor fading into the background as he focused on the faint sound in the distance, the sound echoing over the sand covered hills.
The splashing sounded again, this time accompanied by a gasp and a cough, spluttering and more deep breaths, a faint heartbeat vibrating through the air.
Hunter didn’t even speak, he simply opened his eyes and ran, ignoring Wrecker’s shout after him. He heard Echo, Tech and Omega call as well, their footsteps quickly joining to pursue him, but it didn’t matter.
Not when he could feel that familiar thumping, not when he could hear the clacking of plastoid.
He didn’t know how far he ran, nor did he care about the way his lungs burned with the effort, his legs trembling by the time he crested the hill just above where the sound was coming from, soft words beginning to float through the air, unmistakable.
“Havoc 1, come in? Havoc 2? Echo? Anyone?”
With one last push, he made it to the ridge, his knees giving out as he caught sight of her, the familiar outline, scent and voice overwhelming him.

A gasp of your name behind you made you jump as you pocketed your drenched comm, tutting in annoyance as water ran out of it, the electronics completely fried.
Wondering if you’d imagined it, you turned quickly, you breath hitching in your throat as you saw Hunter kneeled in the sand, his eyes wide, tears rolling down his cheeks as he panted for breath. He had obviously been sprinting, beads of sweat trailing down his forehead, his hair mussed, bandana askew.
“Hunter,” you breathed, the relief in your voice palpable. Scrambling towards him through the ankle deep water, you ignored the sting of the cuts and bruises that littered your body.
The escape from the cave system had been terrifying, being swept down an unground rapid system after wading through the river for some time, clutching at the walls in total darkness. And yet, you’d made it out, battered and beaten, but alive.
As Hunter called your name again, his voice broken with emotion, you scrambled up the bank, tears beginning to spill down your own cheeks as you got closer, his hands reaching out to you, as if he wasn’t sure if what he was seeing was real.
Within moments, you were out of the water, your clothes and hair still sopping wet, body trembling with adrenaline and cold, mere steps from him when he grabbed out for you, pulling you to your knees in front of him. A sob left his chest as he pressed his forehead to yours, uncaring of the water that still dripped from every inch of you, his hands coming up to cup your face, thumbs resting on your cheekbones.
“C-Cyare,” he choked, closing his eyes, breathing you in, “I’m so, I’m so kriffing sorry. I should have been there, I should have been with you…”
“Hunter, don’t,” you pleaded thickly, leaning into his embrace, pure relief rushing through every fibre of your being. “I did what I had to, I needed to get Omega out, I…”
Your words were cut off as he tilted his head back, his lips finding yours, crashing your mouths together with a passion that caught you off guard. You whimpered into his mouth as he clutched at you, fingertips digging into your jaw, holding you so tightly it might bruise, like if he let go you might float away.
Moaning as he slid his tongue over your bottom lip, he took full advantage, tilting his head to the side to deepen the kiss, your own hands moving to cord through his hair, remaining tangled in the thick, sweat soaked curls even as you parted, both panting for breath.
“Should have done that months ago,” he whispered, his lips brushing yours with every word, his eyes focusing on yours, warm swirling pools of molten chocolate causing a swirling deep in your gut, “I should never have waited. I… I love you, cyare… Forgive me?”
As the roar of the Marauder’s engines drifted through the air, the ship growing closer with every passing moment, you simply sighed as you pecked his lips again, tears of joy painting your cheeks.
“There’s nothing to forgive, Hunter,” you reassured him, pressing your foreheads together once more, a shiver running through you both. “And I love you too.”
