30 Day OTP Challenge: Template x Pale

Day 5: Kissing

     Rather if it was a greeting, a show of affection, or an outlet to mellow down any high emotions from either one of them, kissing was very normal in this relationship. There was so much a single kiss could say. There are the greetings of 'Good morning/Good night' and 'Hello/Goodbye' of course, but kissing often established a mood.

     For example; a quick peck placed most commonly on his cheek usually described a sense of playfulness coming from Template, a lingering kiss is meant to be more meaningful and sensual or at least Template trying to be romantic, especially if it was on the hand or the temple, and neck kisses are very suggestive no matter what.

     But the thing is that Pale didn't really hand out as many kisses out to Template as he did to him.

     Of course Pale would shower Template with kisses depending on how he felt, but Template didn't like Pale just draining a universe's creativity just to feel that way.

     So it was just very normal for Pale to sit alone in their home, receiving a kiss in the morning, a kiss when Template left, a kiss when Template returned, and one last kiss when it was time for sleep. And all while Template is receiving nothing in return.

     Pale snapped out of his thoughts with yet another kiss placed on the top of his skull, glancing up to only see Template smiling down at him.

     "I'm heading off, see ya, Pale!" Template said over to him, hugging him briefly from behind before departing from it and parting ways by leaving through the front door. Pale stared at the door as it was closed behind the glitchier, watching him just leave. He stared at the door deep in thought, a small timer ticking off at the back of his mind before he got up. He quickly got out of the door and saw the grid portal Template had made not too long ago fading in and out near nonexistent. Without another second to loose, he stepped onto the grid and fazed through it just as it faded into nothingness, being brought over to the what was essentially was Template's version of the Doodle Sphere. It was a gallery of screens with many scenes of life in those universes, creativity just oozing from every displayed screen he passed by.

     It would have been the biggest lie to ever written to say he didn't eye the many screens with intentions creeping into his mind, the tip of his tongue tingled and drooled just at the itch of wanting to go over to one of the universes and do what he was known for.

     He wasn't going to completely toss out the idea, the temptation was way too good to pass up now that he was here, but he was just going to set it aside and do what he planned for.

     With some time, he finally found Template, who was watching a universe's screen with his teeth biting down in such an eager manner onto the knuckle of his index finger. A squeal just managed to squeeze itself from Template's attempts of oppression before he got up and walked on forward, who seemed a little chipper than the norm. Pale took this as his chance.

     He let himself rush over to Template and let his fingers grab a hold at his scarf while the glitch was still moving, feeling the restraint not too long after. Out of instincts, Template turned to face the obstacle that kept him from moving onward, his eyes meeting up with Pale's for only a brief moment before their lips did.

     With that time felt as though it had stopped along with his heart as Pale continued to press himself against him, their chest touching lightly as Pale's hands began gripping onto his red shirt for support and for lifting. Template eased, feeling his eyes weighing down to flutter it shut as he allowed the kiss to progress. His hands cupped the stained cheek of the other, his lips buzzing and sparking like dozens of little pop rocks he fell back into the kiss.

     Though it didn't last long, no more than a minute had passed when Pale pulled back and away, gazing up at him for a few good seconds before strolling out and through one of the many windows around them.

     The darker skeleton couldn't resist a warm grin to spread across his face, his fingers going to his now pursed lips as he reminisced of the sudden rush of warmth and Pale against him the way he was. It was just a simple kiss yet it held so much meaning to the guardian who now couldn't stop daydreaming as the screen beside him went blank along with his mind.
