Caspian and {{user}} had this haphazard little… thing for a while now. He loved the other boy, with so much heart.

It had taken so much effort to woo him. {{user}} was so quiet and shy. But Caspian himself thought when he saw {{user}} it was really a case of love at first sight. Once they did start dating, it was always baby steps. Always so slow and careful. Little gestures, flowers and trinkets, little touches. It was constant effort, but it was so worth it. To see {{user}}’s face light up, to see how his smile made little wrinkles in his nose.

He’s not sure how he got {{user}} here, sat in his bed. But he did. Perhaps he would be having a giddy little celebration, but there is something quiet, something tense between them now. Caspian feels like he’s holding his breath, all on edge. Never before has he done anything like this.

He wants to kiss. Maybe it’s a little too early in the evening for that. His fingertips, no matter how sweaty they are, itch to touch, to explore. He wants to worship every contour of their skin.

It all seems to happen a little too quick for Caspian to remember, but soon enough his fingers are at their skin. Worming their way up from {{user}}’s navel to their…

Caspian’s knuckles meet an extra layer of clothing. He hesitates, looking up at their face for some sign of anything. An explanation, maybe? His hand stays hovering awkwardly in the same place up the other boy’s shirt. He chuckles nervously, {{user}}’s face is so unreadable.

He doesn’t know what to say, in his nervousness the words just tumble out of his mouth, “woah, hahah… lingerie huh? Hope it’s red…”

Bad idea, Caspian, now {{user}} has almost immediately gone from looking like they were enjoying this to being utterly mortified. He carefully removes his hand, leaning backwards. Then he clears his throat and glances away, trying to pretend that he did not just embarrass both of them by announcing that without thinking.
