Prompt: "Things you said after you kissed me", Pearl/Rose, with Pearl initiating the kiss. Maybe she got the idea from watching a human couple?
(Also, still totally down for prompts, if anyone wants to shoot them my way)
After You Kissed Me
Rose loves watching the humans. Pearl doesn't see the appeal.
They work. They talk. They hunt. They eat. Tiny trivial things. Nothing that catches her interest.
Until finally, something does.
From the trees, Pearl watches, curious. This is something different. This is something new.
The humans finish. Their breathing is heavy, their faces flushed. They walk off through the forest, back to the village, hand in hand. Pearl waits for them to leave, then sets off to find Rose.
She's not far. She's sitting at the bank of a nearby river, tearing pieces off a loaf of bread she borrowed from the humans, and tossing them into the water, where the fish clamour for it. She looks up when Pearl approaches, smiling absently. Pearl's core swells with a song. She's so beautiful, so serene.
Pearl doesn't hesitate. Walks right over, dips her head, and presses her lips against Rose's just like the humans did.
At first, Rose is stiff with surprise. Then she leans forward, her huge, gentle hands wrapping around Pearl's slender torso, her lips softening. Pearl's eyes close, and she can think of nothing but warmth and safety all around her.
Finally, it ends. The two come apart, slowly, blinking.
"Well," Rose said. Her eyes are glittering. "What was that?"
"I don't know," Pearl confesses. "Something I saw a couple of humans doing."
Rose smiles. "Then we shall have to ask them," she says. "But not before we try it again."
