Being in a relationship with Knives isn’t easy. At all.

You two are rarely intimate— which isn’t a problem. But, it’s to the point you hardly ever hold hands or cuddle.

However.

When he lays on his side right besides you, the silence of the night so loud, he feels himself go warm. He squeezes your hand in his, hesitating to say the words he wants to.

“Do you.. wanna kiss?” Knives asks meekly, eyes searching your face for a reaction. A first kiss between you two. And the first for him, ever.
