THE KISSING MEME!

PUCKER UP BABY ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

1) REPLY ONE CHARACTER / COMMENT OR CATCHALL 2) PEOPLE REPLY TO YOU AND YOU RNG YOUR CHOICES OR JUST PICK ONE at RANDOM or PEOPLE REPLY TO YOU SAYING WHO YOU SHOULD KISS SO THAT THEIR SHIPPING DREAMS CAN COME TRUE 3) ????? 4) JUST KISS!! 1) FIRST (DATE) KISS → you've been waiting for this moment all night, or day, or [insert amount of time]. you only get one chance at a first kiss, try not to fuck it up. 2) ANGRY KISS → maybe you've been arguing. maybe you just can't stand this person and want them to shut up. maybe you're trying to get a reaction out of them. who knows, but damn are tempers flaring. 3) KISS, INTERRUPTED → you finally have a moment alone with someone… or so you thought. who's that walking in on you? a friend? an enemy? a lover?? 4) SPUR OF THE MOMENT → completely unexpected and unplanned, but all of a sudden the mood just seemed right. maybe it'll be a huge mistake (hell, maybe you two are drunk), but you won't know until you try. 5) FORBIDDEN KISS → for whatever reason you really shouldn't, but the heart wants what it wants… 6) CHIVALROUS/CHASTE (HAND OR CHEEK KISS) → you're feeling a little old-fashioned, or maybe you're not friends like that; still, you'd like to express how much this person means to you somehow. 7) MAKING OUT (16+) → intense fiery passions. you know how this goes. 8) FAREWELL KISS → you're not sure when you're going to see them again; maybe they're dying, maybe you're breaking up, maybe they're just leaving for work. either way, it'll be a long time until you get this chance again (if ever). alternatively: really intense CPR. 9) KISS IN THE DARK → are you in a closet? dark room? outside at night? whatever: you can't see anything, but you're not alone. are you kissing who you think you're kissing (or are they)? is it totally anonymous? or have you been waiting for this moment… 10) BAD KISS → something somewhere has gone wrong… either one of you isn't that good at this, or something's ruined the mood, or you've simply realized you got no chemistry. whatever the case may be… oops.

[It's been a very trying month. Along with what happened during Josuke's birthday there are so many other isolated problems some big and small. And it's all blended together to make Kira a rattled unhappy mess.

He's strung out and wound much too tightly.

So when he finally does see Josuke out in the open... An urge unlike all the murderous ones he's had over the years hits him and there is absolutely no stopping it.

If his little wings could carry him he'd be swooping on Josuke in an instant but alas the brisk walk of a very rattled Goblin will have to do. Upon approaching the younger clawed fingers reach out to take a fist full of the teenager's shirt and then a push into the closest wall, hopefully the element of surprise will be on his side otherwise he's not moving this taller far more built boy anywhere.]

Higashikata Josuke.

[Okay Kira. Don't short circuit and do what you came here to do...]

[pomaded]

[Okay, so Josuke's largely been able to put aside the remaining twinges of embarrassment at what happened at the start of the month- which is no easy feat consider the sheer level of humiliation he managed to inflict not only on himself but the other party involved but there you go. If nothing else, it's drawn such a stark line underneath his interactions with the other goblin that he can't see a way for them to cross back over it. No more uncomfortably social visits or exchanges or-

- and suddenly he's slammed against the wall.

Well, shit. He really thought that Kira might have decided to act like it never happened too but one look at the expression he's wearing says otherwise.]

Holy shit- what's your deal?! [...] I mean- aside from- I-

[Josuke frowns, struggling with how to continue. The real mystery here isn't why Kira is accosting him, it's why he didn't do it sooner.]

[quietpeacefullife]

[He tightens his grip in Josuke's shirt while he has a quick crisis about his existence. His head is a mess, well, it's always been a bit of a mess but in Morioh he finally had control and peace and here. Here in this miserable cannibalistic monster hell it's taking away everything.

And this boy... this awful terrible boy is the only piece of home he's certain he can hang onto.

If he forgets everything at least Josuke is sure to remember. So he needs to hold onto that.]

I absolutely without a shadow of a doubt loathe your existence.

[And then he does what Josuke did to him in the café. He kisses him. As much anger and mania are racing through Kira Yoshikage the kiss doesn't reflect it. Mostly because this loser doesn't really know how to kiss someone good and proper. But it's a kiss. His own lips pressed right up against Josuke's unimaginable soft ones.

And this time it's not shocking or wholly unpleasant, at least not for him. It actually brings some calm to his very stressed out being. Josuke, whether he likes it or not, is a piece of the home he misses so very dearly.]

[pomaded]

[Well, fuck.

For the first second or two, Josuke is frozen in place, every muscle tensed and every hair up on end as he computes the fact that Kira just kissed him. Well, fuck. That sure is a thing that is happening right now. Maybe it's the shock or the recollection that a little thing called karma exists, but the weirdest part is that he's not completely repulsed. Their lips stay locked for long enough for him to notice that not only does he not seem to really know what he's doing but he actually seems calmer for having done whatever "it" is- which just opens a whole new can of worms. No wonder when Josuke comes to his senses and pulls away, he looks sort of blank.

... okay, but now he's just staring at him in silence and it's even more awkward.

Quick. Do something before he remembers to be angry and sets you on fire.]

Seriously?! If you're gonna kiss me, don't half-ass it-!

[And, with that, he relocates his hands to Kira's shoulders, tugs him forward and kisses him straight back, this time with all the enthusiasm- vehemence- the other goblin lacked.

is this it is this how they fight now because unsure if more or less shitty?????????]

[quietpeacefullife]

[Josuke pulling away does leave an uncomfortable air of awkwardness. And a very huge and very concerning question of: Now what? His dark wings droop and immediately tuck themselves where they belong. This seemed like such an emotionally driven good idea. In retrospect, perhaps not... Perhaps not at all.

He grimaces a bit as Josuke speaks, certain that he's not going to like anything that's about to be rightly said. Surprisingly though... that's not what happens. Don't half ass it? He... what? Kira doesn't have to question that for long. He's tugged forward, and is forced to balance on his toes to add what little height he can offer to kiss Josuke again.

And this is very different than what he just attempted. This is very different than what was done at the café. And that's not a bad thing by any means. It might actually be better? So much energy both good are being poured into an action that should normally be intimate. It's a touch dizzying. But not bad. One could even go so far to say that the action is fairly enjoyable. Setting aside the who and why and just focusing on the feelings themselves that ignite something pleasureble then yes... it's good. Quite good.

But all things, even extraordinarily stupid things, have to come to an end. When Kira pulls back for a much needed breath of air he doesn't return for another kiss. Common sense, of some kind, says that's probably not a great idea. He releases his hold on Josuke somewhat and settles for gently tapping his claws against the golden heart shaped pin that Josuke wears everywhere he goes.

Did you get this out of your system, Kira Yoshikage? A good and excellent question for himself. Unfortunately, as he runs his tongue along his thoroughly kissed lips, he honest to God doesn't think he has an answer.]

[pomaded]

[Just like before, Kira doesn't immediately flinch away or try and shove him but this time, it seems less like it's shock staying him and more like... not pleasure exactly and not acceptance either but something else. Though he can't put it into words, he doesn't really need to; it's a mutual feeling and he makes no attempt to try and fight it either. Whether it's fueled by animosity forced to express itself through other means or a genuine need for contact, it doesn't matter. In those few seconds, when he closes his eyes, removes himself from the context and just appreciates the moment, it's good.

So, when Kira breaks away, he doesn't say anything at all at first, his expression staying clouded but not displeased. That... that was something alright. Slowly, he breathes in and then out, chewing on his lower lip and wondering how much of him he can still taste on it. It was a less clumsy kiss than both the one he'd attempted before and the one exchanged- well, it wasn't really an exchange- at the cafe that night and, just briefly, he can't help but wonder how many people Kira's kissed before. Not many people but hundreds, if we're talking specific parts of them. Hell, this morning he could have been-

- ugh. No. He doesn't want to think about it.]

... where the fuck did that come from? [Before he can reply, he shakes his head.] Wait. I don't know why I'm asking you when I'm the one who started this mess.

[quietpeacefullife]

[Oh and it is a mess. A great big mess. And Kira feels lost in it with no way to get out. You can't get out the way you came in and pressing forward feels impossible. What is one supposed to do in this situation? How do you deal with a situation like this with another living breathing human involved? And it's more complicated than even that. But God help him he can't get his thoughts together or in order enough to figure it all out.

He takes in a deep breath lowering himself off his toes and back onto his feet, his hands busying themselves with his tie. Is it straight? Yes, of course. Is it tight enough? Almost too tight all things considered...

He has no answers for Josuke or even himself. It's not very often that Kira Yoshikage has nothing to say but twice now this boy has made him speechless. It's troubling.]

Is this the part where I say I call you? [And then never ever do that thing. Just like in the movies... Still, to say they won't end up on each other's doorstep again is unlikely no matter how wanted it may be in this moment. Didn't they somewhat agree over cake and coffee that this irritating thing they do with one another, this back and forth, is a necessary part of their lives now? And maybe it's because Stand users attract Stand users and maybe it's more to do with that they are both from and love Morioh and regardless of the unpleasantness they find in each other they represent home. Surely Josuke can find that in the other Morioh residents that reside here in Ryslig, no matter how few their number are. But... KIra cannot. He only has Josuke.

It's miserable... it's all so utterly miserable.

His fingers curl around his tie, his claws digging into the silk. It's plain boring one and not his favorite custom insignia one which was destroyed due to snake venom and blood. Just another thing lost.]

I... [Another deep breath.] Don't misunderstand... I'm very certain I will never not hate you. After all, I am dead because of you. If there's any chance of returning there's no place for me to go. But despite that, I miss Morioh every single day and the closest thing I have to that place is you. [This unsurprisingly doesn't explain a damn thing, especially not the most recent intimate assault but Josuke did start this so maybe he understands. Maybe... Kira can't explain it any better than this. This is the best he can do.]
