This one was short, but there's going to be at least another chapter coming up..
Yuuri couldn't help but stare. He tried, but failed to pry his eyes away from the kissing couple.
At first, all they did were intertwine their fingers together, then they leaned in closer to each other, so close in fact, that they shared breath. This changed when the male- with a glint of mischief in his emerald eyes, suddenly grabbed his partner's head, tilting it sideways, and whatever was left of their conversation faded into history.
Yuuri didn't know what to do, for whenever he tried to glance elsewhere, his gaze still somehow managed to wander back. The scene was so passionate, so intimate, so primal that he found his heart yearning for such contact as well. If only he had someone to share it with. He tried again to remove his prying eyes and place them elsewhere, only because it felt wrong to stare at such a scene. It felt like it was an intrusion of privacy, even if they were in a public setting.
"Heika?"
Yuuri suddenly became very aware of where he was, and who he was with. Knowing that the soldier had caught the king ogling the couple, his face flushed crimson, and soon he was grasping for an explanation.
Thankfully, the soldier understood that Yuuri wasn't trying to purposely be rude, or he just simply didn't care, and nodded his head, indicating that the teenager needn't explain himself.
"Must be a new couple"
Yuuri's brows quizzically turned upwards in a silent question.
"There's a nervous excitement between them. Normally, you only see that with new pairs, as those who've been together for a while, have grown comfortable with their partner's presence and also their relationship."
And yet again, Yuuri was forced to remember how knowledgeable Conrad indeed was in this subject. In fact, it was practically his area of expertise. He clenched and unclenched his fingers. The realization only made himself feel all the more inadequate, and he unconsciously dropped his head. Forgetting how sharp Conrad was in noticing body movements, especially with the king.
"Would you like me to teach you?"
Yuuri lifted his head, confused.
"Huh? Teach me what?"
The soldier took a step closer, but only a step. He tilted his head slightly sideways, and the sun kissed his chocolate hair. Those caramel eyes focused on the king's own, his face serious but otherwise unreadable.
"How to kiss"
