[ Cyno's heart picks up as Tighnari takes his face like that. His eyes steady on his best friend's face and there's something terrifying about saying even more that will change their relationship forever.
What if something goes wrong...
The thought is pushed aside. He's already here and Tighnari is waiting. ]
I love you.
[ Cyno says simply, leaning in then and pressing his lips to Tighnari. In matters of emotions, it's easier sometimes to let Tighnari be his guide. ]
[ he's partially expecting those words, and yet tighnari still feels his entire body tighten up at the speaking of them. heat washes over his body, and his face flushes, but he has no more time to react, for cyno is leaning in, and tighnari is reciprocating, tilting his head the moment their lips meet. ]
Mm..
[ he hums softly, closing his eyes, his fingers slipping into cyno's hair. cyno's lips feel rough, like the desert sands, but warm as the sun, and he smells so good, so familiar, like spice and sunlight, like all the things that make tighnari feel fond and good. ]
I love you, too.
[ he whispers against cyno's lips, and kisses him again. ]
[ Kissing Tighnari like this for the first time is something beyond his wildest imagination and dreams. He had tried for so long to deny his feelings for Tighnari, their friendship more important to him than anything else could have ever been and he'd never wanted to risk it.
So that it's happening, that everything isn't falling apart is overwhelming. Everything he'd been afraid of is nothing and now he wonders how he could have wasted so much time. ]
Nari...
[ Cyno murmurs, letting their lips meet for yet another kiss and he never wants to stop. ]
[ it feels the same, to tighnari. they've danced around this thing for so long, always flirted with the line between platonic and romantic, but never crossed it. they had too much respect for one another, and for their friendship, to ever risk it for their own gains.
but they're falling into it at last, and it feels as natural as breathing. tighnari's arms lift, coiling around cyno's shoulders as he hums softly, his tail curling, then thumping softly against the sofa cushions. ]
[ Cyno hears Tighnari's tail as his arms wrap around the fox,
tilting his head to the side as he parts his lips and the kiss deepens
slowly. It lingers but Cyno pulls back, resting his forehead against
Tighnari's. ]
[ oh, it's a good kiss.. it deepens in a way that makes tighnari shiver lightly, and he soon hums, a little chuckle bubbling up between their mouths. ]
All this time. [ one hand sifts through cyno's hair, cups one warm cheek. ] I've had feelings for you for years. Did you really not see it?
[ Cyno’s hand rubs a small circle on the other’s lower back as he works to sort all his thoughts and emotions. He’s tempted to make a joke here but he’d like Tighnari to not decide to stop kissing him. ]
I was worried about losing what we already have.
[ Cyno doesn’t have many friends and he doesn’t relax around many fully but Tighnari and Collei the center of his trust and comfort, they were home in a sense. ]
[ Cyno asks and it's almost a comical idea. They're both very dedicated to their work, neither of them would be apt to pull the other away from their duties. ]
