The fic is all dialogue. I've seen the style before and wanted to try it out. Found out that it is hard! Restraining yourself from writing description can be quite difficult.
Anyway, my two favorites, Dart and Kimo, do not belong to me. They are the Pinis' characters (although I wish the artists would do more with them).
conversation in this manner is done through sending -------"Hey Dart?"
"Hmm?"
Have you ever met mouths with someone before?"
"Have I what?"
"Met mouths. It's something humans do to show affection. I think Shuna called it a kiss."
"When did you see something like that happen?"
"Well, remember when Shuna became lifemates with that bugman?"
"The spiderzwoot that tried to control her?"
"Right. At their joining celebration, they met mouths."
". . .oh right, I remember that. Neither of us knew what they were doing. It's called a kiss?"
"That's what Shuna said. I asked her about it a little while ago because I had remembered and was wondering."
"And it's called a kiss and humans like it."
"Right."
"Uh-hmm. . ."
". . ."
". . ."
"Kimo?"
"Yes?"
"Why do you think they do it?"
"Why do I think who does what?"
"Humans. Why they kiss."
". . .I don't know. Maybe it just feels good."
"Maybe. . ."
"Um. . .Dart?"
"Yes?"
". . .Oh, nevermind."
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing."
". . ."
" . . ."
"Are you sure?"
". . ."
"Kimo?"
Um. . .I was just – well, maybe. . .maybe mouths taste nice. And – and that's why humans like to kiss."
"Maybe. . .but it's probably a pleasure game too. It's funny."
"What is?"
"That humans would think of something like kissing as a pleasure game. I've never wondered what someone else's mouth tastes like."
"I know, neither have I."
". . ."
". . ."
"Kimo?"
"Hmm?"
"Come here?"
"Mm? How c--mmpf!"
"Mmm. . ."
"D-Dart!"
"Your mouth does taste nice. I think I like kissing."
"Dart!"
"How does my mouth taste? Do you like kissing?"
"What are y--Uff!Why do you always have to pounce on m—nnn. . .ngg. . ."
I really think I like this kissing.
"Nnn. . .Dart, leave my shirt alone."
"But it's in the way!"
"The sun'll be coming up soon!"
". . .Fine. I guess you're right."
". . ."
". . .that means that we'll have to leave this clearing."
"I know."
". . ."
"That means you're going to have to let go of me."
"I know."
"Da-art! We—mm!"
I found another reason why humans must like to kiss so much. It keeps the mouth occupied.
Humph.
Hey, come on. Why so grumpy? Usually the only thing you are is a bit shy. Something wrong?
I. . .no, nothing. I'm sorry, for being grumpy.
Apology not accepted! You'll have to make it up to me!
"Okay, fine, have it your way. But you'll still need to let me up."
