dankmemes | kiss me, hold me, love me

[Be glad she's not a shy person, Kain, nor she considers kissing people weird or embarassing. It's just a strange thing to do...]

I don't know if this is an adorable way for shy people to find the courage to kiss each other or a creepy thing that stalkers and unpleasant people may abuse.

[Oh, right, there's a mis...plant over their head too. The summoner shrughs turning in his direction and wrapping her arms around his neck... it's weird but in such a weird place she'd rather avoid to bring bad luck on herself. Rydia is pretty sure some of those plants moved, mmh... she will have to investigate later.]

I don't really mind. Uhn... [Now, since he seems less comfortable than her...] Whenever you're ready, Kain.

Possibly... both?

[Oh, how he always wanted to be caught underneath it with Rosa. It finally did happen once, and he got a little friendly kiss on the cheek as a result... ah, a memory he'll always cherish. Even if it made him sad that it'd never be more than just a light 'friend' type thing.]

If you're certain you don't mind... then...

[Kain is so awkward about this sort of thing, but he's not too well practiced. He has no idea what he's doing. Or why he feels compelled to give her a real kiss. He takes a deep breath to gather his courage... then leans in to place his lips to hers.]

~~I don't regret cracking in memes~~

Sweet Leviathan, you're all so unnecessarily complicated.

[At least her first kiss is with a friend? That sounds good enough, Rydia wouldn't need this kind of tricks to express her love if she had someone and she's one hundred percent sure he's not 'creeping' on her.]

Kain, dear, physical contact is a taboo only between your people.

[She pats on his shoulder to reassure him before the kiss, that man seems unnecessarily nervous... but perhaps that's how they usually act? Even rosa and Cecil's kisses always had something of... ethereal? Pure? Boring? Yes, a mix of those three.

Rydia closes her eyes while he leans closer, maybe if she doesn't look Kain will relax a little? Oh... it's a funny yet pleasant feeling, she actually likes it? Yes, she likes it ~~but doesn't she like to touch others anyway?~~ but it's better to give Kain back his space... right?]

Well, that wasn't bad... [She grins up at him.] but, really, you should definitely have some extra confidence for this.

~~I'm sorry, ok?~~

~~NEVER REGRET EVER!!!~~

[Kain is glad for her reassurance. More than anything, he fears some sort of rejection. He'd already failed terribly to win the love of Rosa, and now he's just... afraid he's not deserving of such a thing. Of any sort of affection at all. He closes himself off because that's a lot easier than risking such rejection again.]

[But since she's willing, he is too. So he lets himself even enjoy that kiss, realizing that it's not as intimidating as he'd thought it would be. It's even comforting... relaxing... Afterward, he glances at her, a hint of happiness in his eyes. He seems a bit lighter overall than usual.]

Not bad at all. Thank you for that, Rydia, I... Thank you.

[Dude, humans are complicated but you're even worse! Still, she can tell Kain probably just needs to get used to more physcal contact, almost like a wild animal that needs to get used to someone's touch. A weird comparison, probably, yet that's something she's familiar with.]

Of course it wasn't bad, Kain, it's always nice to be close to others.

[The summoner smiles while ruffling his hair. Good dragoon, good dragoon!] Anytime, Kain, anytime. If it helps you feel better I don't mind doing that again in future. [Doing something that she somehow likes, that won't hurt her in any way and seems to put him in a slightly better mood? Yeah, she can do that, that's what friends are for.]

[Is it always nice? Kain has his doubts. But then... he's never been able to be close to the one he most wants. Still, this was really nice... it even took his mind off of that little problem for a moment. Rydia was comfortable and warm and... he'd like to try that again, he decides.]

...I'd like that. [He finally makes himself admit, blushing hotly, but feeling a lot better than he has in a while. That's a good thing, right?] I'd... like to do this again, Rydia. I enjoyed it.

[It is, it is! That being said Rydia is luck enough not to want anyone in specific so she can equally enjoy everyone's touch just for what it is: simple physical contact. See? It took the problems away, even if for just a moment. Kissing the dragoon may be a bit weird because they've never been too close in general, but that's what friends are for, right? To hold you close when you need a bit of comfort and such- ]

Good. [Is he blushing? Really? Oh you innocent... child. Then again while something that seems to embarass surface people so easily leaves her indifferent beside a general 'Oh, I liked it' maybe there are things normal for them that will someday manage to fluster her... who knows?] Whenever you need a kiss to boost your morale don't hesitate to ask, okay? It seems like I enjoy kissing other people as well.

[it felt... really nice... even better than he'd have expected. He feels a little awkward and red-faced, but overall... it wasn't bad at all. He's a lot happier and calmer now than he was a little while ago.]

You... You would really do that? For me?

[Kain sounds very surprised. After all, to him a kiss is something very important, only given between people who love each other in some way. But it seems... it seems Rydia is willing to do this, for him. What does it mean? Could it be they have a closer bond than he'd thought?]

[Oh, gods... She pulls him closer with the arm still wrapped around his neck and offers an awkward pat on his shoulders. Of course she wuld do that, you idiot.]

You seem to need it, somehow? I don't mind since it actually was a pleasant thing to do [She is all about touching others, even if Rydia never touched the dragoon more than what was necessary. On a closer bond... she wouldn't know what to say about it, it's just... you help a friend when it's needed, don't you?] and you look like someone who could use a bit more contact with other creatures judging your reaction, I'd be glad to help with that.

[It's something Kain does on purpose, keeping his distance from others. He's gotten... a bit too good at that, really. He prefers it that way, usually. Having tough barriers keeps others from getting in and causing him harm. But sometimes, despite everything, he finds himself... wishing he could have more contact with others. Sometimes.]

I'm glad you also enjoyed it... that's important to me. [He sighs.] I guess I keep to myself too much, don't I?

[She's the opposite, coming from a small community of very united creatures who share most of their lives in the same small city isolated from the rest- touching, sharing, spending time together is everything down there and Rydia struggles to understand why certain people isolate themselves for no reason at all. Especially when they seem to need physical contact, like Mr.Dragoon right there.]

Yes. Yes, you do. And I'm not even a person who tends to judge others, I can only imagine you around other kinds of people. [She shakes her head, places both hands on his cheecks before pulling him close for another small kiss] Nothing bad happens, see?

[It's not something Kain ever saw as a problem, really, but... he does spend more time alone than most others. He has reasons for it, of course, not that he wants to talk about them much though. Still... when Rydia pulls him in for another kiss, he reciprocates, again enjoying the feeling of her lips on his.]

Nothing bad at all... I... I'm glad that we're doing this...
