#we love some swordfighting and kissy

[kikun]

@celestiafell asked ; an abrupt ,  heated kiss during the middle of a fight . ;) - alhaitham ↪     𝑲𝑰𝑺𝑺  ﹠ ᵀᴱᴸᴸ .

Bodies tangle, bedazzling in shades of green, twining like serpents as swords clatter to vinyl-tiled flooring. Their wrestle continues but in a new environment; of tongue and teeth clashing ravenously with wanton undertones. Still, the premise of a fight holds true as they tango, searching for a victor in the twisted dance of desire.

His bicep is clasped by Akihiko's small palm where elegant fingers extend, traversing exposed flesh. Encapsulating flooding warmth from their intense training session, defined in the energy expenditure the Wanderer oft exerted from the Scribe. It is not his fault for being a challenging student. If anything, the Akademiya required a revisit of standards and qualifications.

He breaks their embrace apart, to allow Alhaitham his mortal right in the form of gaseous exchange. Coughing and spluttering in a kiss were far from pleasant and even the puppet — as naive as he was in matters such as these —  could recognise the issue.

❝ I don't suppose this was one of the 'unconventional methods' you use for teaching. ❞ Rhetoric, something he often employs, widens the gate for his snark to slip through. It is shared knowledge between the two; the Acting Grand Sage and his pupil that there was a hiccup in Alhaitham's rigorous routine.

The Wanderer almost prides himself in having shaken his strict tutor. But he promised Nahida he would adhere to this regimen, much to his chagrin.

Instead, he raises his sword once more, poised as he'd been taught by his bruised-lip mentor before him. ❝ If you win, maybe I'll let you grace my lips once more. Until then, I'd advise you to stay true to your blade. ❞
