Summary: Their first true kiss wasn't sweet.
The first time he truly kisses her, it's anything but sweet. It's rough, jostled, scalding, and yet enough to give her frostbite at the same time; it's far too short. Mouths slotted together, lips slightly parted in shock and despair, her hands clutched around his arms, willing him to stay in fear of loss.
Desperate.
There's electricity in the air and a foreboding sense that he isn't coming back. She doesn't know, and he doesn't believe that he will come back. But he does return, and that is the most bittersweet of all, because they never speak of it again.
