Hey all! As the title suggests I'm writing first kisses. I like writing kisses. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :3

The beautiful autumn sunset painted the Indian sky a beautiful shade of orange. The nation was mid-way through the five day long festival of lights known as Diwali. Little oil lamps known as Diya were seen everywhere as their flames lit up the darkening evening sky. Tonight there would be fireworks and a feast for the crews. Thomas was temporarily working in India with Ashima as part of a trade agreement between Sodor and India.

Thomas had just finished the days' work. Ashima had finished her duties too. Now all that was left was to watch the spectacular fireworks show. They were so happy to be together.

"Come with me Thomas! I want to take you to one of my favorite places on the line." Ashima smiled before buffering up to Thomas, facing him.

"Oh. Okay." Said Thomas nervously. He still had yet to see the entire railway.

"It's awesome! It has the best view and it's so breathtaking!" Ashima excitedly exclaimed as they got underway.

Thomas couldn't help but stare at Ashimas' lips. He so desperately wanted to lock lips with her, but he wasn't sure why, and he dare not question it. The two rambled on all the way to the outskirts of Agra.

"It's a beautiful evening, isn't it?" Ashima mentioned. She always enjoyed the Indian sunsets.

"Not nearly as beautiful as what's in front of me." Thomas winked. He sucked at flirting.

Ashima smiled and chuckled as her cheeks flushed pink. "You flatter me Thomas."

The two even caught sight of a juvenile tigress along the side of the line. This was quite rare considering their dwindling population due to habitat loss and poaching. Ashima noticed something peculiar about this one though.

"She looks pregnant. She must be looking for food." Ashima smiled. She loved animals, especially tigers.

Thomas noticed a black collar around the tigers' neck. "What's that collar for?" Asked Thomas out of curiosity.

"It's a tracker to keep them safe from poachers. It's not done as much here in India as the government has plenty of camera traps to monitor the safety and geographical location of tigers." Ashima explained.

"Ah. Interesting. I've seen some deer around Henrys' forest with something similar. It is a wildlife reserve after all so hunting and especially poaching is illegal there." Thomas explained.

"Watch this." Ashima smiled.

She then eased Thomas up a large hill, stopping at the top.

"Woah. How'd you do that?" Thomas, enamored by Ashimas' strength asked.

Ashima chuckled. "I was built for these hills." She smiled.

Thomas was even more enamored and found her even more attractive. The tingly and warm feeling of falling even further in love spread throughout his boiler. He smiled and blushed, finding himself swooning over the pink NMR X class engine.

"Look to the left." Ashima smiled.

A beautiful breathtaking view of the Taj Mahal and the city of Agra was right there.

"Wow...it's so beautiful...just like you are my love." Thomas serenaded her.

Ashima blushed. "Oh Thomas..."

The first firework of many sounded itself and lit up the sky.

"Kiss me Thomas." Ashima asked.

Thomas then closed the distance between them and locked lips with her.

Another kiss followed. And then another. Ashima slowly deepened the kiss, allowing it to become more passionate. "Mmmmmh" She let out. Ashima, wanting more, gently pressed her tongue to Thomas' lower lip, coaxing him to open his mouth further. Thomas of course, obliged and their tongues entwined with one another in a sweet, slow dance.

Eventually they parted to catch their breath. "Woah..." Thomas breathed in complete awe.

"That was incredible..." Thomas smiled as he caught his breath again.

Ashima rolled forward again, embracing Thomas in yet another deep, sweet, passionate kiss.

Eventually the fireworks show came to an end, and it was time to head back.

"Alright lovebirds. It's getting late and we're exhausted." Thomas' driver said.

Eventually they made it back and went to sleep. It would be another long day ahead for the two engines.

That felt incredibly liberating! Man it has been the longest time since I've written a French kiss. I personally thing that's how this pairing in particular would kiss ;) Anyways thanks for reading!
