[quaerit]

[ It's unexpected. That moment when their lips touch, so like the last moment they touched. So soft and warm and eager, and Gansey feels himself responding to it instinctively, just because it's Blue. He's only ever kissed her once before, and yet he knows what to do. His hands find her waist, and his eyes close, and his lips part beneath hers -

And then there's the memory of the last time, when he had felt the shock of this right down to his heart. When his heart had stopped, because she had been something of Cabeswater, and Gansey had only been repaired. When pointed at each other, the weaker one had given. He waits for that feeling.

It doesn't come. This time, there's no such give. Delighted shock draws him back from Blue. They kissed, and his heart didn't stop. This time, his heart has not just been repaired.

It's been grown. Made from Cabeswater itself. And that means - ]

I can kiss you.

[ He grins, stupidly, and pulls her close again. He kisses her cheek, and then her jaw and then, clumsily, her lips again. ]

It's over! I can kiss you all the time.

[ After so long avoiding it, it's likely he'll try. ]
