Butterfly Kiss
To give someone a butterfly kiss, get close to them so the tips of your eyelashes are touching theirs. Then blink very fast so your eyelashes flutter together like butterfly wings. It's a fun, cute thing to do while you're catching your breath from more traditional kisses. You can also give someone a solo butterfly kiss by fluttering your eyelids against their cheek.
"Kurogane," Fai rasps. His voice is coarse and his throat is scratchy, and he is barely able to speak above a whisper.
Kurogane appears in an instant. "What is it?" he asks in a seemingly casual voice, but his eyes have dark circles beneath them.
"Water," Fai responds with a cough. Sweat runs down his flushed face, but he shivers and wraps himself deeper inside the blankets.
Kurogane exits and returns a moment later with a glass full of ice water. "Sit up," he orders, and Fai struggles to obey the command. Kurogane kneels next to the bed and wraps an arm around Fai, helping him to sit. He places the glass against the mage's lips, and Fai drinks greedily before another series of coughs rack his body. Kurogane frowns, lowers the glass, and lays Fai back down. The blond breathes roughly, his body moving with uneven breaths.
"What…?" Fai asks as Kurogane leans toward his face. He feels the other man's lashes brush against his cheek, and he turns automatically toward the touch. "You're going to get sick yourself if you insist on staying so close to me…"
Kurogane doesn't move but continues blinking rapidly. "It's a type of kiss," he explains with a bit of embarrassment giving his cheeks color. "Princess Tomoyo did this when we were younger and I was sick. She said it would help me get better faster." He straightens up and looks away. "Not that I put much stock in a superstition like that," he says quickly.
Fai closes his eyes as he continues his struggle to breathe normally. "Idiot. Don't blame me when you get sick too." He grins. "I'll give you real kisses when I get better, and I can't do that if you're sick next."
