Single-Lip Kiss
To give someone a single-lip kiss, take one of their lips between yours and gently suck or tug on it. It's an awfully romantic kiss, and if you do it right, you'll send tingles up and down your sweetie's spine.


Goodbyes are painful. They hurt no matter if they are a sudden, harsh break or a slow drift apart. In Kurogane and Fai's case, goodbye was a mere inevitability from the moment they met. But when that day finally comes, neither of them want to accept it.

"It's time, huh?" Fai says softly. He smiles, but his eyes are burning with unshed tears. "This is goodbye, Kuro-tan." His voice breaks on the last word as he realizes it's the last time he'll get to say that name.

Kurogane's brows knit together, and he pulls Fai into an embrace for the last time. One last kiss, slow and filled with all of the words left unspoken, lasts both an eternity and a mere second. Kurogane gently tugs on the mage's lower lip as they pull away, letting the pain remind the blond man how it feels to be alive.

"I'll miss you," they say at the same time, and a look of pain passes over Kurogane's stoic face.

The sting causes Fai to step farther away. "It… doesn't have to be forever," he murmurs, turning his back to Kurogane as he closes his eyes, tears spilling over. "We can see each other again. Someday. Just not for awhile." He forces his lead-heavy feet to start carrying him away from the other man.

"But for now… goodbye."
