Butterfly Kisses (Rouxls Kaard x Reader)
a “kiss” whereby one blinks one’s eyelashes against another person’s skin.
You loved it in the Dark World.
Never had to worry about sunburns in the Summer. Nor sunglasses. The environment was colorful and comfortable. Plus the people were always so amusing to you.
Lancer was a sweetheart, always down for some fun never failing to bring a smile to your face. The Rudinn guards and Hathys were always so nice to you and it was a treat to be treated with such kindness and respect.
But your favorite thing about the Dark World was him. Rouxls Kaard.
There were, quite a few things to say about Rouxls. First, he was handsome, long face, beautiful eyes sporting long lashes, sparkling complexion of navy blue with long glorious white hair that just tied the whole look about him together.
Second, he was an idiot when it came to puzzles, at all. He knew nothing about puzzles but still insisted upon his title of Duke of Puzzles. Even after Lancer had given the puzzle people back their original jobs, which left Rouxls with an empty title. He didn’t seem to pick up on this and went around flaunting a title that was of no use to anyone else.
Third, he had a heart of gold. While he wasn’t the best at puzzles, he was a very good father figure for Lancer. He had been a father to him when the King was nothing more then a tyrant to all. Rouxls fed, entertained and loved Lancer, despite not outwardly admitting it.
Finally, he had fallen for you. You had come through the Dark World with your friends on a quest to get home, and had met when he tried to fool you with puzzles and traps. Puzzles you solved and traps you defeated with ease. Your determination and drive wooed him and now. Whenever you came to visit, with or without your friends, he was the first to greet you. Flowery language and all.
It was obvious, his constant compliments and gifts to you were a dead give away that he was trying to court you. Though lately he had taken to showing off his own prowess as the gifts and praise never really spoke to you on a deeper level.
So here was your current predicament. You were in the forest. Trying to relax under a tree after a long and stressful day of work as the school guidance councilor. When your favorite person in the Dark World strolls up to where you sat and raves about how great and amazing he is.
“-and farther more mine skills at box puzzles can’t be vanquished by no-”
“OH MY GOD JUST SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP ALREADY!!!”
Your face was beet red and your head was throbbing. You didn’t want to yell at him but after the day you had you needed peace and quiet. Eyes closed and leaning against the tree behind you, you took a deep breath and let it out slowly, relaxing against the tree.
Suddenly you become aware of a presence beside you and open you’re eyes to find Rouxls, siting next to you cross legged on the grass, quiet and stiff.
“Oh shit, Rouxls I’m sorry for yelling at you, I’ve just had such a stressful day and I can’t deal with that much…” you wince and try to come up with something inoffensive. “…verbal affection today.”
“…oh.” His cheeks turn neon blue and he looks away from you with a strange expression.
Still a bit guilty but, feeling better you settle back down against the tree and close your eyes. Or you were about to when, you felt someone scooting up to your side.
“Wha?! Rouxls what are you doing?”
He says nothing but he rests his cheek on top of your head. Then after a few minutes of silence he moves and presses a soft kiss to your temple. Which did not turn your cheeks into tomatoes.
It takes you a minute but you realize you said “verbal affection” and not affection in general.
Eventually you relax and let him pepper you with nuzzles and kisses. Slowly you begin to loose track of time, then you feel a tickle on your cheek. Its light, and you almost forget it but then it happens again. Giggling you open your eyes to find Rouxls very close to your face.
“Whatcha doing there Rouxls?”
“Showing mine affections through actions,” he says with a smile. Then proceeds to press his face closer to yours and flutters his long white eyelashes against your cheek. This dork was giving you butterfly kisses!
With your heart aflutter and in the spur of the moment you hugged him and kissed his cheek.
He froze. Then practically squealed in joy as he pulled you into his lap and started to ramble about how happy he was that you finally returned his affections.
Then seeming to remember his agreement, quieted himself then proceeded to pepper your face with kisses, both with lashes and lips.
You don’t know how long you stayed under that tree. But when you left it, it was hand in hand with your new boyfriend. With the tingle of butterfly kisses still on your rosy cheeks.
Someone help me this man is too beautiful. I need this fluffy stuff in my life. T-T
