Mmm...no, I don't think I can count that as your embarrassing thing of the day. Not quite yet.

[Diarmuid peeps one eye open at him.]

I taught you better than that. Put some of that skill to use if you want me to count it.

[velveteenmage]

You really want an eighteen-year-old to kiss you properly?

[There was a dismissive frown on his face, but Waver's tone was lightly teasing.]

I thought much better of your preferences, you know.

[oathshackledbird]

I have been kissed by younger...

[His eyes widen as he realizes how bad that must sound and quickly adds onto it.]

Not by choice! Victims of my curse...mostly...

[velveteenmage]

It's okay. I won't exactly hold it against you.

[oathshackledbird]

Good!

[He winks at Waver, attempting to hide the fact he is a little surprised the magus let things go that easy.]

So...are you going to kiss me for real then?

[velveteenmage]

...I don't think...I mean, I wouldn't be any good at initiating something like that.

[oathshackledbird]

You don't know until you try and it's not like I will mock you.

[Diarmuid leans forward and shuts his eyes in case that might make it easier for Waver.]

Go on. Just try.

[velveteenmage]

O...okay, I'll...give it a try.

[Waver swallowed hard, trying to steady himself. He placed slightly trembling hands on Diarmuid's shoulders, leaning forward as well to attempt a cautious, hesitant kiss.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid responds to the kiss gently, carefully encouraging Waver without taking control from him. The last thing he wants his friend to do is give up control when this whole thing is suppose to be about him leading.

Honestly, for all his complaining and worrying, it's not a bad kiss.]

[velveteenmage]

[He pulled away after a second or two longer, face flushed bright scarlet.]

S-see, I'm..I'm not any good at this.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid smiles as Waver pulls away. He then taps him on the nose.]

Am I complaining? Really the only thing you lack is confidence. That's a big part of it, you know. Catching someone by surprise and taking control goes a long way.

[velveteenmage]

I c-can't do something like that!

[oathshackledbird]

And why can't you?

[Diarmuid gives him a questioning look.]

You have plenty of confidence when you are at the Tower and you take control all the time when it comes to your students. All you have to do is apply those things to kissing. Is it really that hard to do?

[velveteenmage]

B-because...because that's not the same thing! Teaching's simple because I know everything about what I'm doing. Th-this isn't...even if I did have enough experience in this, kissing someone and giving a lecture on magical theory are completely different!

[oathshackledbird]

Sure it's the same thing! You are only making it different because you...

[Diarmuid gives him a curious look.]

Are you afraid?

[velveteenmage]

[DIRECT HIT.]

I-I, er...

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's expression softens.]

Waver...you have no reason to be afraid. Don't you know by now that I'm not going to judge you?

[velveteenmage]

I-I know that! But I...I-I'm still...I feel like I'm just a stupid kid you're waiting to see screw up and get laughed out of the bloody country and I don't know why I can't just stop thinking that for once.

[oathshackledbird]

Hey, hey calm down!

[Diarmuid cups Waver's head in his hand.]

You know me better than that. I would never laugh at you about something like that and I would certainly not tell anyone else! These moments are ours and ours alone.

[velveteenmage]

I...I know. I'm sorry. R-really, I'm...kind of screwed up, huh?

[oathshackledbird]

It's all right. You aren't the only one.

[Diarmuid pulls him closer, trying to settle Waver against his chest.]

If it worries you so, I will try to remember not to push you again.

[velveteenmage]

S-sorry.

[He curled up against Diarmuid's chest, hiding his face in the knight's shoulder.]

I'm acting like as much of a stupid kid as I look right now.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid reaches up and strokes Waver's hair comfortingly.]

Did you stop to think that maybe this affected your emotions just as much as it affected your body? I wouldn't be surprised if it did. So don't worry so much. It will be okay.

[velveteenmage]

Still, I'm sorry you have to deal with something like this.

[oathshackledbird]

It's okay. I care about you so this is nothing. I would put up with much worse than this for you.
