When he’d leant in for the kiss, August had every expectation of being pushed away by Edward, or at least having it ended rather abruptly and left as a chaste thing not to be continued and find himself hearing once more about how this was not what he wanted, or that he should be going to find one of his peers. So when he found that the other was not pushing him back, but seemed to actually encourage it, he continued the kiss, keeping it gentle but no less emotional. 

Eventually he drew back, only a little and pressed his forehead to Ed’s own breathing a soft sigh between them of sheer joy. “That was as good as I thought it would be. Better even.” he murmured, voice quiet as he let his fingers trace in circles against Ed’s cheek. Part of him was tempted to lean in and try it again, but he knew that would be pushing his luck and he had the patience to wait. Besides, he was interested to see if Ed would initiate a similar gesture.

“I am exhausted but otherwise fine... more threats than actual harm done, I assure you...” August breathed as lips left his own and he met the gaze of his partner with a weary smile. Their clandestine relationship had managed to remain out of the Storybrooke gossip columns, so he was not surprised by the fact the other had shown once the Charmings and their entourage had left him to rest.

Leaning back on his elbows as he surveyed the other man, August felt incredibly grateful for both the fact his university campus had decided that the bar slash cafe needed sofas and that it was horrendously under used during the morning hours owing to his fellows’ lack of interest in seeing the sun. Persuading Edward onto the date had taken quite an effort on his part, the other still resistant to what they could be together, but he knew the other was enjoying his company and what it was they shared. 

He had lost track of what the other man was discussing, which was not something that happened often but he had been distracted by the passion in his voice and the glint in his eyes as he spoke. Rarely did Edward talk so much, however when he did he was stunning in his passion and enthusiasm. As Edward came to a finish, he pushed himself forward, raising himself to a sitting up position next to the other man.
