[ I just confessed my feelings and you're asking for permission to do what I've wanted to do for over a decade?
That's the reply in Alhaitham's mind, but he doesn't verbalize it—in fact, he says nothing at all and decides to give his answer by scooting closer and reaching up to capture the sides of Kaveh's face with both hands; he then proceeds to gently angle his head slightly to the side so their noses won't collide as he leans closer and closer until their lips meet. His eyes slide closed as he makes a soft noise against the other's mouth, relishing in the feeling of those soft lips against his own and focusing his senses on nothing else but that sensation he's drowning himself in.
It's stiff and a little awkward, but that's Alhaitham's inexperience shining through rather than a sign that he isn't enjoying every second; it is, after all, his very first kiss and although he's read about kissing in many of the thousands of books he's read in his life it doesn't translate into real life experience. Kaveh tastes faintly of rosewater and cardamom and in that moment it feels like they were made to slot perfectly together, like two intertwined roots of the very tree they're sitting under. ]
