A humanstuck Crabcakes (Jane/Kankri)
Ah yes, there he was. Kankri Vantas, also known as that goshdarned albino kid who happens to frequent the same park as you do. Lovely.
He's cute, which isn't bad, and he's only a year older than you, which also isn't bad, but there's just the slight problem of his mouth. Or more specifically, the fact that he never shuts his trap. (And there's the slight problem of his intimidating older sister, but that's another story.)
But anyway.
The insufferable object of your affection was currently sitting next to you on one of the benches, talking your ears off about some social justice bullcrap that you honestly did not give half a flipdoodle about. So you did what you'd been planning on doing for the past few months you've known this boy. You put his mouth to good use.
Which means you lean in and give him a short kiss on the lips. "Shut your trap, buster," you say as you pull back.
Kankri stays quiet for a total of about two seconds. Just when you that your plan worked, he launches into another rant. Fantastic. You didn't catch all of it, what with his mouth going a mile a minute, but it consisted mostly of "Jane what in the world has gotten into you? What makes you think you have the right to just kiss someone out of the blue without their permission, and especially while they're in the middle of saying something rather important? I'll have you know that the oppression of peoples across this nation is a very pressing topic, and if you didn't want to discuss it with me you could've voiced your opinion rather than just-"
You cut him off by covering his mouth with the palm of your hand. He was bright red and looked shocked. Whether it was from the kiss itself or the fact that you had kissed him in the first place (for Pete's sake, it hadn't even lasted a full 30 seconds!), you had no darn idea.
"Kankri please, just hush. I've been wanting to do this for the longest, and if you had any respect for me whatsoever, you'd let me do it again. Just one more time." You feel bad for guilting him into a second kiss, but by this time you feel you deserve it. "I understand you're just so mad at me, and I promise I'll never do it again. Deal?"
He stays silent again, though only to think it over. And the fact that your hand was still firmly over his mouth, but that's besides the point.
He nods begrudgingly, though you suspect it's only because you pulled the respect card on him.
You slowly remove your hand half expecting him to launch into another flipping rant. Instead, he simply sighs. "I am a man of my word," he says. He leans forward, gently grabs your shoulders, and pulls you into a kiss.
Kankri Vantas is a darn good kisser.
