[Oh, Oren is beautiful from this close. Taashath rarely get the excuse to be this close to his face, given their height difference. It's for the best, because he struggles not to touch when he's got a good view.]
[In this case, though-- in for a penny, in for a pound. He gently reaches out to place his hands along Oren's jaw, going slowly enough to give him time to pull back if this is more than he's willing to do. Warm skin and the slightest hint of a pulse, and Taashath's ears are burning even before he notices his hands are trembling, just a little. This is his first kiss, and there's a lot of emotional weight behind it.]
[Still, he's committed to bigger risks-- he leans in and softly, carefully kisses his best friend.]
