Alvarr was physically much stronger than the human, but he showed no sign of resisting to the gentle pressure on the back of his head. With the mischievous grin on his face betraying his understanding of what was going on, he gave in to the pull and leaned closer until their faces were only a gap apart.

Feeling the hot breath brush against his face, Farin bridged the last bit of distance.
There was no gentle tingle of their lips brushing against each other, no solemn moment of enjoying the touch - the crazed giddiness welled up in Farin's heart the moment they connected. Feeling the low rumble of Alvarr's purr even on his lips, Farin let his hand slide through the God's hair, along the side of his face, until he could softly tug down at the other's chin with his thumb.

Alvarr still didn't resist, allowing his lips to be parted. Greedy, Farin slid the tip of his tongue over Alvarr's parted lips. Had he not said that he wanted to demonstrate the kiss that was so similar to the God's, in the first place?
Ah, no one could say he was pushing it. They weren't children, anyway. Was there any reason to act all shy?

One of the children perked up, noticing their leader being distracted, and called out curiously. Alvarr's half closed eyes jumped over to the child, a low growl escaping his throat in the short pause the child's call had created between the two men. The boy lowered his head, understanding that this was a bad moment to disturb them, and retreated.
Farin huffed a hot breath against Alvarr, who mewled and pressed forward, asking to continue the kiss. He got what he wanted.

There was no need for Farin to hold Alvarr's head in place - though he did so anyway, out of instinct - as the God was overly willing to have a longer demonstration. The human curled his fingers around the red strands, childishly tugging at them as he nipped on Alvarr's lower lip, scraping his teeth over the soft skin. The God was slightly stiff - not sure what to expect or what to do, but enjoying himself enough to purr. Farin was careful in sliding his tongue between Alvarr's lips, forcing himself to not drift off. If the God bit him out of surprise, it wouldn't funny with his carnivore teeth.
But the God stayed docile: When he felt the foreign softness invade his mouth he merely made a small, surprised noise but kept still, giving his wordless consent.

The two men sat in the middle of the meadow, lips pressed tightly together. Farin's tongue was hungrily exploring Alvarr's mouth. It was almost dry, as if he hadn't drunk water in a long time, but Farin found himself enjoying the sensation of his saliva leaving trails in Alvarr's mouth. He licked across the other's tongue until it was wet like his own, the other man clumsily responding to his movements.
Farin pulled back slightly, taking in a breath of air, before Alvarr chased after him, giving the human's lips a rough lick. Farin chuckled and leaned back in with a pleasant hum.

The sounds were an embarrassing mix - their pants of gasping for air, the wet sound of their lips parting and the complaining mewls the God made whenever Farin teasingly leaned back.
The God was much more submissive than Farin expected, he had half feared to be pushed down the moment the God understood how kissing worked. To his surprise, Alvarr was like a lazy cat letting Farin take the lead while he leaned back his head and just enjoyed - for as long as Farin didn't try to stop. 

The carrier licked a silver trail off the other's lips, caressing his face with almost languid movements. By the time Alvarr's lower lip was swollen from being bitten and Farin's tongue sore from the surface on Alvarr's, the greed had died down considerably. Left was a deep feeling of comfort and a pleasantly painful throb in the carrier's heart. His fingers, his lips, his tongue... Every place that touched the God was tingling. He felt itchy.
His hand had already slid down enough for his fingers to brush against the sensitive skin on Alvarr's neck, so soft it was inviting him to take a bite, but-

He lingered over the God's mouth for a moment, then carefully licked up any stray trail of saliva before letting his tongue flick over his own lips. Farin leaned in to press his lips against Alvarr's for one more short moment, then tilted to give him a peck at the side of his mouth and retreated with a wistful sigh.

Alvarr's ears had begun twitching a few seconds ago and while the children were exceptionally obedient in not disturbing the adults, they were nearing their limit, curling in sad furballs close by their side. The sight was so desolate, the carrier felt his heart ache.
"Alright, alright. You can come to play again", he coaxed them the same moment Alvarr made a whistling sound that had all of them perk up with sparkling eyes. Mewling and calling out to the two men, they jumped forward, begging for attention and rubbing their fluffy heads against the adult's hands. Farin sighed again and looked over to Alvarr with a twitching smile.

"Well, as you might guess, this isn't too suitable to do when you might be disturbed." Alvarr's ear twitched. "Yes. I agree."
The human couldn't help but think while coaxing the upset children. I had said before that this type of kiss is meant for someone you'd like as a spouse, to simplify things. So I guess we just established the fact that we like each other? Do they even have a concept of 'dating'?
The thought was a bit troublesome. I didn't look like Alvarr was going to reject him if he would kiss him again, he'd just like to be certain of where they stood.
For a human, the difference between two people just trying things out, going out or being pretty much betrothed was quite large, after all. Especially since they both lived in literally separated worlds, he wanted to know what he should expect.

"Hey", he called out to catch the God's attention. Alvarr nuzzled his little sister under his chin while his golden eyes moved to look at Farin with a questioning blink.  Since they're so open with their feelings, I might as well ask...
The words lay awkward on his tongue, not something he - as a human - would casually ask. Feeling his face grow a bit hot with embarrassment, he forced the question out. "You... do you want me as your spouse?"

Skipping over dating to straight-out ask someone whether they wanted to marry you was much more uncomfortable than he had expected. Farin found himself unable to return the God's gaze.
"Want."

The carrier faltered in his movement of changing posture.
He would have loved asking whether the God didn't feel any shame at saying such things, but he obviously didn't. Alvarr continued his answer: "But I don't know how visitors choose ...a spouse. Can't tell what I have to do." "What would you do if I was one of your people?" "Nothing? Would just be spouse. Nothing needed."

This time it was the human, not the God, who fought with understanding the other's lifestyle. Was it instinctual? Could they just tell when they were liked back and started living together? How would that even work? Weren't there ever misunderstandings?
"That's weird." "Really? I don't understand why." "Don't you have... a period of time where your people test if they'd even get along as spouses? Where it's not fixed yet and both can change their opinion?" Confused noises. Obviously not.

Alvarr exhaled slowly, scooting over to sit right next to Farin and letting his sister escape to go back to playing with the others. Their arms were touching, Alvarr wasn't wearing his poncho. His hotter skin felt scalding to Farin, who was still a bit iffy at having to stop what they had been doing in favor of the children.
"Tell me", Alvarr suddenly said, his voice quiet but determined. "I don't know your way. Tell me what I can do so that you will be my spouse?"

A painful throbbing in his heart made Farin flinch. He could feel the beating up until his throat.
Who asks someone to marry them five minutes after their first kiss? Who would agree to that? His thoughts halted. An amused grin began to twitch on his lips. Well, maybe someone who is so addicted, they lost their mind.
He was vaguely wondering whether this obsession was dangerous or a natural reaction to a human meeting a God. He hoped it was neither - that it was just himself being a bit insane. Compared to that giddy feeling being fake, something that was predetermined, he preferred being a crazy, possessive person.

"It's impossible until I've figured out how I could come here freely", he honestly explained to Alvarr, though his voice was soft and gentle. "Until then, we can do this trial period that humans do. How does that sound?" "Is the kiss included in the trial period?" "Yes." Alvarr's tail did a weird flick. "Then, sure."
Ah, pervert. Good to know that Farin wasn't the only unhappy about being interrupted. That did make him feel a bit better.

Playfully, Farin hooked his arm with Alvarr's and tugged the other closer. "We'll figure something out." 
The God purred loudly, scrutinizing their locked arms like he had done their hands before. "What is this for?" "Hmm, usually you'd do it while walking. It keeps your partner quite close to you, as you can tell." "Isn't that hard to walk with?" "Probably? I haven't tried."

Farin tilted his head and let his gaze fall to their arms. A smile bloomed on his lips. He hadn't had a reason to try before, but now he had one. It was a nice thought that from now on, there would be a lot of new things to do.
If only everything went well with the temple master...

"Alvarr?" "Hm?" "If everything goes awry... Would you leave your home?"
He didn't like the thought of eloping. He didn't want to leave his family and friends behind just like that, but if that was the only way to be with the person he liked... he knew his loved ones would understand. And hiding for a few years did not mean hiding forever.
Alvarr gave a supporting sound. "I will go where you will go."

Farin chuckled at the determination in his voice. "Won't you regret it?"
"What is regret?"
"To wish you hadn't made a choice. To wish you would have chosen differently."
"Never. I don't know if other ways would have been better or worse. I will be happy with however my life is."
His answer made Farin freeze for a moment before the human broke out into laughter. Indeed, how would anyone know if things wouldn't turn out worse? There's nothing that can be done anyway, so it's better to take things as they are and enjoy them.

He reached out for Alvarr, tugging the other over to give him a loving kiss. The God reacted by letting his reddish tongue flick over Farin's lips until he had coaxed the other's tongue out to play. Licking over the rough surface, Farin took half a minute to leave his wet mark on the inside of Alvarr's mouth again, pulling back before the children could start to complain. "Your teeth are too sharp, I'll have to be careful not to hurt myself", he jokingly said in an offended tone.
The color of his red, cat-like tongue shone through Alvarr's lips as he trailed it over his teeth with a soft frown. "Hmm, yours are not like mine." "Maybe because humans eat less meat?"

He reached out with his hand to intertwine his fingers with the Gods instead of keeping their arms hooked. Alvarr smiled, squeezing his hand lightly.
A few more days left.

Owl

I only realized after starting the scene that there are still children around, heh.
No idea how well I did with the kissing scene, so feedback is appreciated _(:3」∠)_ I'm still learning how to write well
