Badd/Genos

Intimate kisses. Stiff and rigid at first, but slowly eased into a softer, more straightforward yet sincere kiss. Genos occasionally gives him slow Inuit kisses, and Badd occasionally butts his forehead against Genos’s as a sign of affection.

 The two are devoted individuals, and between them, their devotion to each other leaves no room for infidelity or lies: private, gentle, yet intense affection for each other is paramount in their interactions, made especially important with the rough and intimidating images of them perceived in public- there’s no trace of it in how they treat each other. No trace of it when they wake up next to each other on a lazy morning, softly stroking the other’s hair with a thumb while they’re still sleeping soundly, peacefully, the rare instance where neither is scowling or angry or bloody with monster guts is a treasured sight that neither would trade anything else for.

Garou/Genos

Fierce kisses, like both are fighting to be the Dominant one. Garou deals in more animalistic kisses, bites and growls that feed into a frenetic, sexually charged energy. Genos deals in with more passionate and sophisticated kisses, kissing deeper, with skilled techniques that’d make anyone’s knees weak. 

The two tease each other, and neither know exactly who’ll end up on top each night. They’re both inexperienced after all, being close, if not straight up virgins. Dirty talk and rough, dark chuckles can be heard from the bedroom, and you’ll find the two entangled in each other’s arms in the morning following, the barest hint of smirks on their faces. 

The passing glances at each other when they walk by each other in public, and when alone, gripping each other’s arms, and entangling themselves into a hot, fierce make out session that’s different from their usual lead up to sex, promises being whispered in each other’s ears, of two individuals on the opposing ends of a spectrum in a society that would never have paired the unlikely couple together, the agony of seeing him being tormented by his struggles leading to a desperate unsung plea that forms a deeper bond between them during sex. It’s what drives them to say the things they do, where nobody else can hear:

“No matter what it takes... I’ll be there for you.”

Garou/Badd

Playful kisses. Garou likes nipping at Badd, and Badd likes blowing air into Garou’s mouth just to see his reaction and laugh his ass off upon seeing how pissed Garou is. 

Boyish is how they love each other in their gestures, challenging each other, loving each other. Quick pecks being counted as scores being racked up at the end of the day, nips at the bottom lip to catch the other off guard to score some deeper kisses. The smile in their eyes makes them look younger, the grin on their faces makes them fall in love with each other harder and faster, and the rare deeper, more intimate kisses serve as a reminder that they’re not alone in their fights against what the world forced against them. 

Music from Hands Like Houses blasts into the air of a cool evening, the orange sunset contrasted against the gradually darker blue of the sky casting beautiful light across the buildings, the two laying side by side on the roof as the hiss of a cola can being opened served to remind them how life’s not all about keeping you and your loved one’s safe- sometimes, you can just be teenagers. Playful, but not childish.
