Kissing Scars

The Kissing Scars Meme

Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments. Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now. Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no go? A mixture of both? The wound has long closed, yet the pains remains; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it. Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given. Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed. Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars. Reply to others.

You let me lay here with you, kiss you and hold you... you don't turn away from me when I come close, and you let me stay at your side...

It's enough, for me. This amount of love.

[thriceunified]

Ah- I suppose... it would be love, in a way... wouldn't it?

[Not something he'd considered, or thought himself deserving of, and yet... there they were. With their weird little sort of love. Strange.]

If it... should ever be not enough... do not hang on for my sake.

[eyewear]

I'm a simple sword. I'll take whatever you'll give me happily. As long as I can stand by your side.

[ a little disparaging, but said with a smile nonetheless. ]

[thriceunified]

[He's used to the particular Oda-brand disparaging commentary, though, so there's no surprise, and he just... accepts it with a defeated sigh.]

You may stand where you please...

[eyewear]

Then I will.

[ nuzzles? nuzzles. ]

And you also, if you choose to stand by someone elses side, other than mine...

[thriceunified]

I will... keep mindful of your consideration.

[Sighs. Nuzzles.]

[eyewear]

You sound tired. Have I worn you down?

[thriceunified]

Mmhm. For now...

[eyewear]

Victory.

[ he'll reach up to cradle souza's cheeks, stroking them as they lay together, before he leans in to press a chaste little kiss to his lips. ]

[thriceunified]

[Defeat...

But he'll let Yagen kiss him, and only pout a little bit about it. It's a start, at least...]

[eyewear]

If I can stand where I please, can I touch, too?

[thriceunified]

Ah-... I... suppose...

[Kind of sort of almost consent?!?! Wow......]

[eyewear]

Suppose?

[ yagen gets greedy. ]

[thriceunified]

...Mhm.

[He is well aware of that........ Ah to be young again...]

[eyewear]

[ alas, all he can get is a small agreeable noise... he'll take it.

since they're laying in each others arms, it's easy enough to snuggle close in his embrace so he can snuggle into his neck, his left hand sliding over the curve of souza's hip over his clothing. ]

[thriceunified]

[It's better than he'll get sometimes???

But there Yagen goes, snuggling close again, tucking into his neck and letting his hands wander.

And Souza can't help but laugh softly at how greedy he is.]

Insatiable...

[eyewear]

I made you... sad, when I touched your mark, didn't I? It ruined the atmosphere.

[ he seems pensive for a moment... before pulling away enough to meet souza's eyes. ]

I'm sorry. For being so greedy. Touching too much.

[thriceunified]

Sad...? I... Wouldn't say so...

[But it did ruin the atmosphere. So he sighs softly and meets Yagen's eyes when he looks at him.]

It's fine... I... know you're greedy. [Half-smile? Half-smile.]

[eyewear]

I'll give you a free wish. An apology.

[thriceunified]

Mm... I... don't need anything like that...

[eyewear]

Too bad. It's yours.

[thriceunified]

Mm... then... I want you to... forget... this happened...

[eyewear]

Forget?

[thriceunified]

Mmhmm... Can you... do that?

[eyewear]

Which part?
