Your Muse's Kiss Style
Tumblr media
The Almost Kiss
It just may be the cruelest, most frustrating thing a writer could ever pull. Two characters are finally about to bring all their shippers' dreams to fruition. They're about to resolve all the unresolved sexual tension and cross the 'Just Friends' line, at last. They're staring mesmerized into each others' eyes, inching forward ever so slowly, less than a millimeter away from lip-to-lip contact. This is it, the fans scream in their minds. They're finally going to kiss! And then... They don't. Were they interrupted by a knock on the door or falling meteor? Did one of them remember their late love interest that they promised never to forget? Was the thought of a relationship upgrade suddenly just too scary? Well, for some reason, they can't or won't go through with it. They may be giggling afterwards, or they may be crying a river. The sad thing is, the Almost Kiss says as much as a kiss, anyway, since we can see they both want it. Sometimes referred to as a "near-miss kiss".

ㅤㅤ " OH ... is that so ? Perhaps it's not as common of a practice I imagined it to be. " He couldn't deny that he was a tad bit disappointed but perhaps some encouragement was in order. " If you feel comfortable enough around her then perhaps you should give it a try ! I'm sure she'd be willing to try it out as a way to ... erm ... deepen your bond ! "
Tumblr media
"...!" Good question, Theo. It looked like he wasn't expecting such a reaction.
Tumblr media
"We never really did that..." Yet? They did hold hands once!

ㅤㅤ THE longer he laid upon the astrologian's lap, the more he realized that perhaps, he was enjoying Urianger's affection a bit too much. Was it truly appropriate to allow himself to indulge to this extent ? Still ... with how evidently pleased Urianger appeared to be ( the tender smile and the fond gaze reserved only for Theodore ... ), he couldn't help but let himself think that perhaps ... it was alright to enjoy these kinds of things once in awhile. If there was anything to be gained from this experiment, it was that this was quite an enjoyable experience with someone he held a great deal of fondness for. It probably would've been awkward if it were anyone else but this ... ? It was ... nice.
ㅤㅤ Just as Theodore was beginning to ease into it, Urianger shot him with an unexpected compliment that immediately caused him to sputter. " C - cute ... ?! All I did was ask a question ... ! " A question that was unfortunately left unanswered. " I - is that honestly what you're thinking right now ... ? " The fact that Urianger's first thought in mind was ... well ... that, was more than enough for the librarian to slowly slide his hands beneath his glasses out of his pure embarrassment ( he didn't want Urianger to see the look on his face right now ... ! ) " ... Uu. When you look at me with those eyes and say things like that ... it feels as if my heart is going to burst out of my chest ... do you realize how unfair you're being ? " Was that a slight pout ?
The comfort of Urianger's thighs have never been a primary selling point of his, but he presumes it's probably... fine? However, what he does find is that Theo's earnestness is endearing and the librarian is cute. Urianger smiles down at him, quite pleased with this turn of events. Even if Theo does seem a bit flustered, Urianger decides he won't worry too much about him— Theo will get accustomed to it eventually, and Urianger does feel as if he likes having the other here.
He beams down, expression fond and enamoured, for a moment before putting his hand on Theo's head and petting his bangs. "Hm-m?" Ah, whoops he wasn't paying too close attention. "My thoughts are that thou art rather cute, are thou not?" Rhetorical. He's perfectly pleased with this turn of events.

ㅤㅤ " SOMEHOW, I'm not surprised you've done some rather illicit things but then again, you do specialize in poison so there must be quite a demand in the underworld. " Assassination was most likely a common sport in the world these days and someone who dealt with poisons was bound to be useful in that field but well, lucky that Orus was on their side even if it was technically against his will.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ " ' We were meant to meet ' ... huh ? If I had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen to travel with you at all but ... it's strange how fate is. You always end up with people you don't expect ... " At the very least it was useful to have Orus around but she'd be lying to herself if she said they weren't developing a form of camaraderie with each other. Not that she disliked it or anything ... it was just ... a strange, fuzzy feeling in her chest. She wasn't sure how to explain it.
ㅤㅤ " ... Ugh. Don't call me cute — even if I am the cutest thing in the world but It's nauseating hearing that from you out of all people ... that aside, I don't entirely disagree with you. It's ... different if anything. " She slowly reached out to lightly pinch his cheek and simply stared before she broke the silence after a long beat. " ... Now that I have a closer look, you have a nice face too. " She mindlessly mused before letting go. " ... Awful personality to match it with though. "
"Oh, I see. Being wanted by the law and all, I shouldn't be too surprised. It's not like i'm any different, I sort of contribute to the chaos BUT for good reason." It's not like he actively goes out of his way to enjoy assassinating kingly figures and important idols in order to tip power imbalance, but a job is a job and money is money. If he couldn't put his own poison to good use then it's quite a waste of potential, in his mind.
His lips pressing in a fine line while in mid thought, Orus sighed slowly. It's a content sigh, a relaxed reflex met by his body slouching to get comfortable. They all really are getting chased by a lot of things, aren't they? Surely this job won't get easier, but...
Then, a small smile appears on his lips. A genuine one, this time.
Tumblr media
"Well then, maybe this means that we were meant to find each other out here in this dog-eat-dog world. Even if you both are running from the law and all, it's not impossible to gain an extra footing into the mix. I do have some rather tasteful experience in slipping away from stuff like that."
A chuckle, and he leans his cheek on his arm. His gaze then settling onto hers as he feels an eyebrow inch upward. Amused, in a way.
"You think i'd be cuter if I stopped fighting you?" He echoed, his head lulling to the other side as he felt a hint of genuine fascination for a moment.
"I think that it's cute that you say that. Maybe I only do so because I like our little moments like this, but maybe that's also because in a setting like this.. we can just enjoy each other's company."
This isn't something he USUALLY says, but since these two are here in his own little hideaway... he may as well let them and himself feel security.

ㅤㅤ THERE was certainly no denying that Hakuno was considered attractive by conventional standards -- beautiful even when comparing her to that of a doll but that was merely a given in Dark's eyes, he was sure. Physical appearances seemed to play little part when it came to genuine love ... or at least that's what the librarian had observed so far.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ He felt himself flinch as Dark called him out on his discouraged behaviour, painfully reminding him of his own pitifulness. " ... I'm sorry. " Was all he could utter, as if to fill in for his lack of response. Truth to be told, it was just easier to endure things when there was nothing to be gained from retaliating. After all, it was more trouble than it was worth but it didn't mean he was proud of it. In fact, it made him feel worse than he felt before but that was the result of his own helplessness so who else did he have to blame but himself ?
ㅤㅤ He soon found himself perking up a bit as Dark decided to continue on, mildly surprised that the other was willing to share more of his heartfelt experiences with love despite his initial reluctance. The more he listened on, the more he felt his own heart whirring from the prospect of being able to love someone so freely ... just as Dark did ( he wondered if someday, he could also — ). " ... Love really is an irrational thing, isn't it ? Loving someone to the point you feel like you could love them forever ... " He remarked softly, surrendering himself to a bittersweet smile. " ... For better or for worse, your voice is pretty loud. " He couldn't help but jest sheepishly ( it was obvious he meant nothing by it but perhaps it was a way for him to emphasize his admiration for Dark's candidness ). " The desire to be seen and the desire to be heard... they're things most people long for, don't they ? But honestly ... I think it's wonderful that you want to seek out those things from someone you love ... it's proof that your feelings are real. " Although, he was certain that Dark didn't need any validation for his feelings when he openly flaunted them. " N - not that I'm invalidating your frustrations that comes with wanting your heart to be known. Even I can understand it to an extent but ... erm ... anyways ... what I mean to say is that ... I think you're amazing being able to express your feelings for her so freely. While I don't know the extent of your relationship with Hakuno, I do have faith that you'll be able to reach her in one way or another. I'm rooting for you either way. " He doubted his words were much encouragement but his point was that even if there were no guarantees, who knows what the future could hold. And not to mention, he genuinely supported Dark now !
like . did the other deserve to hear what he liked about her ? appreciative words and feelings meant for others should have belonged solely to their selected recipients ; things returned to those who first gave . even then , it was difficult to hide away his fascination , a longing for things like love and the right to lend compliment . a bolder person might have crowed and paraded each and every reason in an instant , as if every declaration brought them closer to the goals of their affection and made them worthier than the rest . yet the great phantom thief seems to withdraw into himself .
a hand touches at his lip , and he clears his throat , swallowing a little .
Tumblr media
' ... well , it isn't as if her appearance isn't any good . '
he had eyes that functioned , and as was the case with those blessed or cursed with sight , it was the first thing anyone would have noticed . all of her figure was like a work of art : the sort of girl who would have been called doll-like , marionette-esque as if such hollow , lifeless , yet beautiful things were supposed to be compliments . this is what he thought instead : her skin looked soft and smooth , her height went below him , and he'd like to have run his hands through the gentle curls and rivulets of her hair , all for himself , just to admire it . if she didn't wince and shirk away from his cold , wintry touch --- if those honey and milk-tea eyes , dull and cold cups to drink from as they were , still didn't squint or ripple with revulsion at him --- then that alone might have even satisfied .
' i just ... want to be able to talk to her for a while . '
even if she doesn't have an interest in me , i at least want her to know that my feelings and care for her is sincere .
it's something he'd rather have saved for her , rather than say now .
' you know , i don't know what your problem is . you've been moping around this entire time , and you won't put up a fight . ' they're pieces he can only try to put together , guessing at things like fatigue and helplessness . burdensome things , heavy as the years for anything that lived beyond any ordinary scope of mortality --- and only perpetually heavying . for just an instant , he thinks to spare the other a few words after all . ' when you like someone , you can like them as much as you want . there's a strange power attached to you , so if you're anything like me ... then you can freely love anyone forever . that ... is something precious in its own way . but even then , when it comes to those that are still around you , you can't help but want them to like you back too , even just a little bit . '
a beat and a breath . it's impossible to tell what sort of emotion the live artwork might have been feeling .
' ... i might like her because of something like that . i can't be satisfied with just seeing her anymore . i also want to be seen . i want my voice to reach her . ' and if she , something that felt so close to himself , did so , and finally received him --- then would somebody have finally been able to understand him a little ?

ㅤㅤ " I - I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as ' depriving me of the opportunity ' as I've no urgent need for the gesture but i - if you're certain then — if you'll allow me to indulge myself ... " With that, he took advantage of their already established seats next to one another so that he could carefully lay himself down and rest his head upon Urianger's lap, face-up. Hm. Although it certainly wasn't as comfortable as an actual pillow ... this wasn't so bad ( although he could do without the constant pounding of his heart and the embarrassing flush on his cheeks ). Perhaps he spent a moment too long simply gazing upon Urianger's face in attempt to gauge his reaction before suddenly realizing he should make an effort to prove his theory.
ㅤㅤ " S - so ... how do you feel right now — rather ... what are you thinking ? Do you think this improves our intimacy in any way ... ? " These were genuine questions as a scholar !
"It was not?" That's a surprise. Urianger had thought it relatively unsubtle, enough for even him to pick up on. Or perhaps Theo is simply being coy...? Could be. "Since thou hath extolled the virtues, I would be loath to deprive thee of the opportunity," said with a bemused lilt. Sure thing, Theo.

ㅤㅤ ALTHOUGH he was well-aware of the reaction he would elicit from lecturing Dark about his jealousy, it certainly didn't whittle his fear any less when the other's anticipated glare pierced deep into his core; ice cold and seething enough to freeze the librarian in his place ( he could barely react as fists seized his clothing into a violent grip, threatening to tear ). Despite his dread, he found himself barely managing to retaliate with a firm albeit faltering gaze of own when he realized the desperate reasoning behind Dark's jealousy ( his wrath felt all the more unreasonable but yet his desperation was so painfully familiar ) ... he finally realized it was all accompanied by the fear of being unseen and forgotten.
ㅤㅤ Unseen.
'do you have any idea how hard it is to keep anyone's attention sometimes ? or how easy it is for it to be stolen away by anybody ? '
ㅤㅤ Of course he didn't understand the feeling.
ㅤㅤ He's never had anyone like that in his life but ... he knew better than anyone else how it felt to not exist at all. How horribly lonely and isolating that feeling was ( did Dark understand this fear, he wondered ? ).
ㅤㅤ That's why he was envious.
ㅤㅤ Envious that Dark could feel so strongly about someone who he's found a connection with no matter how illogical it was. Envious of his resolve not to be forgotten by the person he loved. Theodore had fallen quiet all the awhile he endured Dark's prattling; any hint of defiance long snuffed out and eyes downcast by the time the other's temper had simmered. Theodore couldn't help but wonder ... when did he become such an ugly person, to feel jealous over what he couldn't have ?
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ Theodore reached to grip onto his own arm, silently processing the words spoken. " ... You're right. She's the only one who can decide how she feels. " A freedom that at least she and Dark were allowed to ponder while he had no right to do so. It was clear from the librarian's distant expression that he had already given up even before a chance could appear ( it was an all too familiar path he led himself down but how could he expect to do anything when he would just be forgotten at the end of the day ? ).
ㅤㅤ " ... Say, what do you like about her ? " He couldn't help but ask, wondering just what it is that drew him to her; an attempt to understand Dark's passion as well as understand how it felt to love someone ( apart from that, he realized that perhaps ... Dark and Hakuno weren't as close as the other claimed to be but he thought it was best to refrain from commenting on the very possible reality ).
Tumblr media
' ha ? ' eyes narrow , and the cruel , monstrous slits of his pupils seem to cinch themselves even thinner --- he cuts and pierces the other straight through like this , trying to pin them in place without as much as a single true motion . ' are you joking ? ' callous and pitiless , it isn't anything like guilt or sympathy that he's feeling --- it's wrath , indignity . fists clench where they fail to be marched over , vicious things barely restraining themselves from a violent snatch at the other's clothing . anything to keep the sharp teeth in his mouth from being tempted to start ripping and tearing . ' don't you dare tell me what to do . ' it's his first and sole selfish warning , a furious growl that makes him sound more animal than man . ' do you have any idea how hard it is to keep anyone's attention sometimes ? or how easy it is for it to be stolen away by anybody ? '
did the other have any idea how difficult it was to exist and be kept inside of anyone's memory , anyone , anyone , anyone's at all ?
' she's a fair person who looks at everyone equally . even someone like you would have a chance . that's why , i want mine . i don't care whether or not you think you're worthy of anything , or you're too much of a coward to even try . none of that is my problem . ' his clutch loosens , and the brief heat of his temper cools into a simmer in what seems like an instant . ' in the end , you're only trying to speak for her , anyways . between the two of us --- no , between any of us and anyone , it's only her that gets to decide how she really feels . '

His hand outstretched to clasp Theo's protectively. His eyes settling upon the librarian's once he had obtained his attention, Kuro had begun to lift his other hand to hold something quite delicate looking. It seemed to be clumsily shaped from rough wood with raised texture, but the shape itself seemed very reminiscent of a turtle dove... Or maybe it was a crow? It's hard to tell what kind of bird it is, to be honest. "I saw you were looking at one of those books again and, well... I tried, but I made this for you to decorate your desk. All it took was a small wood piece and a few mistakes." Kuro seemed sheepish, a little silly with such a gift- but he made it entirely for Theo and that in itself made the familiar smile at him. - Kuro to Theo
ㅤㅤ EVER since Kuro's made himself known to Theodore after all these years, the librarian truthfully had a bit of a difficult time adjusting to his presence. The person he had once spent every waking moment with was now an occasional visitor with a life of his own and things were quite obviously different compared to the life they once shared. Perhaps it was more accurate to say he felt somewhat uneasy around Kuro at times when he thought about why his familiar returned in the first place. At the same time, he felt a peace of mind at the thought of having his familiar at his side even if their time was short.
ㅤㅤ The librarian had been quietly working away at his desk until Kuro approached, seemingly reaching out for his affection. He found himself hesitating to meet his eyes for a moment ( perhaps out of bashfulness ) but he offered him his usual tender smile and cocked his head in question. " Is something the matter ? If you want to take a small break we can -- " He blinked when he realized a whittled ... bird was placed into his hands ? Wait ... was this -- " Oh ... this is -- " He carefully took the wooden sculpture into both of his hands, almost as if he were treating it as something precious. His eyes softened and he held it close to his chest. Come to think of it ... this was the first time Kuro's ever made him anything. No matter how much time had passed ... Kuro's actions were always dictated by his fondness for him ( still, he couldn't help but wonder if his fondness only extended to the person he knew long ago ). He felt guilty for accepting his kindness ... especially after all the years he spent lamenting Kuro's absence.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ " ... I never imagined you'd go out of your way to make something just for me. And whittling of all things ! Is this ... a dove or a raven perhaps ? This is quite impressive ! If I knew you were doing this behind my back, I would've joined and made you something in return ! But ... thank you. It's wonderful. " He gently set the sculpture on his desk next to the little trinkets he had collected over the years.
ㅤㅤ " Now I ought to make you something special too. What say we have some of your favourite treats ? I still have the recipes from way back then. " Despite everything, it felt nice to get back into their old routine ... now if only things could stay this way forever.

ㅤㅤ THEODORE let out a helpless yelp as he was practically tossed out of Dark's grasp and onto the ground; his head spinning and appearance dishevelled. He groaned and sat himself up straight, taking a moment to recover from whatever the hell just happened.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ It wasn't long before he gathered his head and finally processed Dark's complaints. He shot the other an unimpressed look and steadily rose up from the ground to dust himself. " Once again, I still don't see how I'm competition here ... " He fixed his glasses straight with a sigh. " It's not as if I know her well enough to harbour any sort of feelings and besides, I'm not the sort of person who interferes with other relationships either. " Not that there was any reason to. " ... But you truly insist that I am interfering then I suppose I can choose more discreet methods. With all due respect, you need to keep your jealousy in check if you think someone like me is attempting to fight as competition. Even if I did somehow develop feelings for the same person, I wouldn't be any match for you. " As in Theodore wouldn't even try. While Hakuno was a wonderful person, falling in love meant that he'd have to be prepared to let them go just the same. The life of the librarian was a solitary one after all; he couldn't allow himself to be attached to a single person only for them to disappear one day and never to be seen again. Besides, what could he even offer in return for their love when he had nothing to give ? He didn't even exist in people's memories once came dawn so ... there was no point in thinking about it. All he could do was observe what he couldn't have and that was something he'd learn to suffice with.
Tumblr media
' you have some damn guts comparing them even in the first place ... ! ' AFTER ALL , WHAT HAD HE JUST SAID ?! hands as frigid as death cling and dig their nails into the fabric of the other's clothing . his grip is wretched and merciless , until he practically throws the librarian away again ; leaves their head spinning without any sympathy . should she have been left to sleep on the sofa ? even knowing someone like her wouldn't have complained , it's true that it wasn't exactly preferable . it was also true that hakuno and himself were nowhere near that stage .
... actually , it was deeply questionable whether or not he and hakuno were even mutually acknowledged as 'friends' .
' it's called planning ahead . ' ... well , so he said .
' anyways , you'd better get those lenses checked if you really have no idea what's going on ! if you're sorry , then do your job as the lesser , and NOT THE COMPETITION --- ! '

not literally , mind you , but if he just happened to violently shake this librarian so much that their brains spilled out of their nose and ears and they never stood up again ... well , dark wouldn't have said it was his own fault .
