Dimashe for 19??

(thank you for sending this in, I felt like I needed to make up for my angsty Dimiashe prompt XD)

19. Shy kiss

Ashe blinked. “What?”

“Can I kiss you?” Dimitri asked, being sure not to stutter this time. Ashe’s eyes only widened and Dimitri suddenly wished he had never spoken at all. At least the question had bubbled forth while they were alone in the library. Tomas was shuffling around downstairs but their corner was deserted and sheltered by two tall bookcases. 

Still, Dimitri felt a flush travel from his ears down his neck the longer Ashe gawked. He willed his boyfriend to say something.

Finally Ashe took mercy and squeaked out, “W-What made you ask so suddenly?” 

“I’m sorry, perhaps it was too bold a question.”

“No! I mean, I’m just, surprised?” Ashe cleared his throat and busied himself with the books on the tabletop, shuffling them seemingly at random. “So, where did that come from?”

“Ah, something Hilda said the other day. I have admittedly been giving it too much thought.”

Ashe frowned, still not meeting Dimitri’s eyes. “What did she say?”

“She said we did not... frankly, she thinks we don’t act like enough of a couple.” Dimitri also found the tabletop fascinating, neatening papers to perfection. “She accused us of faking a relationship to drive off women who might want to be courted by a prince.”

Ashe audibly gulped. “I guess that makes sense.”

Dimitri reached over to take Ashe’s hand, stilling it from flipping aimlessly through an upside down tome. “But it’s not the truth. I tried to explain that. She suggested doing more romantic things may stop the rumors. That’s why I wanted to try a kiss. In private, at first. Like here.” He waved his free hand around their secluded corner. 

“Yeah...” Ashe squeezed his hand. “Yeah. Okay! Let’s do it!” He turned to Dimitri, face bright and determined, like he had just figured out the correct answer to a hard test question. Dimitri had to smile back. “I’m ready when you are!”

Squeezing Ashe’s hand in return, Dimitri nodded. “Very well then.” He shut his eyes. When Ashe made a noise of confusion, Dimitri added, “As this was my idea, I will leave you to make the first move. When you are ready.”

At first, Ashe didn’t move. Dimitri heard him shift in his chair a few times and he laced their fingers together, but he didn’t feel Ashe get closer. True to his word, however, Dimitri waited with his eyes shut for Ashe to be ready.

Then, hot breath puffed against Dimitri’s chin. His heart leapt. He heard Ashe’s chair scuff against the floor as lips at last pressed to his own. Feeling brave, and perhaps giddy, Dimitri raised a hand to blindly hold the back of Ashe’s head as they relaxed into each other.

Dimitri only opened his eyes when Ashe had completely pulled away. In Ashe’s place, he found a pink faced archer whose gaze was darting around as if their display had attracted onlookers. Dimitri chuckled softly and bushed aside Ashe’s bangs to get his attention. “There.” Dimitri smiled. “Alright?”

Ashe’s “Yeah” was more of an exhale than an reply. He gulped again. “So, do we find Hilda and do that in front of her? Or something?”

Dimitri tugged him close again by their still joined hands. “I think we could practice a bit more before that, wouldn’t you agree?”

To his relief, Ashe smiled in return and immediately surged forward for another kiss.
