[ snagging snow back down against his chest ]

Nice enough for you?

[Whew.]

You've got weird ideas about asking for something.

[ so innocently, ]

Maybe you should show me how it's done.

-What, asking to be bitten?

[ oh no

help

starts laughing despite himself, fond ]

[Snickering in turn.]

I think you're going to have to figure that one out on your own.

No, I was trying a thing, and it was gonna be super smooth...

[ HE COULD HAVE BEEN COOL,,,, ]

...buuut making you laugh is just as good.

And just how did you think that was going to go for you?

It could've been smooth.

Mmm... Maybe I should just do it anyway, without even asking?

Whoa, getting crazy now.

Is it that crazy? You liked it before, too, didn't you?

[As he finishes speaking, he shifts to press his lips against Aster's throat, soft - for now.]

I could have changed my mind.

[ says, leaning a lil closer ]

Did you?

[Gently pressing teeth into skin.]

[ winding his arms back around snow ]

Hmm. Don't think so.

[He hums, which probably causes a bit of vibration Aster can feel in his own throat shortly before Snow applies just enough pressure to be truly felt.]

[ mock-earnestly, ]

Do you need a little help remembering what a bite feels like?

[Looking directly at Aster shortly before biting down even harder.]

[ — well. no more smartass comments for that, it turns out ]

[He'll interpret that as confirmation that he should definitely methodically work from neck to shoulder, lingering just long enough to leave behind a red circle of teeth marks at each stop.]

[ if he has any doubts, aster sounds very, very pleased as he works

and by the end of it, barely has the patience to let snow get done before he's taking snow's face with both hands and pulling it back to his ]

[Happily tugged back to Aster's lips and decidedly not chaste as he meets them, apparently forgetting his own weariness in favor of something far more heated.]

[ forget exhaustion, forget bad memories, forget wherever they came from —

all that matters is right now, and no longer being chaste at all ]

[That building heat, that desire--

It turns out it takes more than just time to abate. But it does eventually, albeit after some exciting new discoveries, no doubt about themselves and each other, and likely some awkwardness and silliness to boot, thanks to the newness and unfamiliarity.

Still, by the end of it, they're curled up and comfortable. Though his cheeks are still tinged pink and his breaths are still a little heavier than normal, it's easy to feel just how relaxed Snow is with their closeness.]

[ if he'd ever thought about, imagined, this before, he would've gotten a few things wrong. he wouldn't have guessed how awkwardness and anxiety could slowly, easily melt in the face of simple affect, desire, and trust. (he absolutely cracks some incredibly stupid jokes.)

and, after, aster's pleasantly worn out and content with an arm slung around snow and face at his shoulder ]

...feeling good?
