Rafayel

deny what he did want.

"Everything about you calls to me."
He wriggled his nose on Aster's. "Release me, cutie. I need my nose back."

Rafayel almost toppled forward when Aster gripped his hair while also arching somewhat off the bed. His nose squished lightly upon his and he let out a soft "owwww."

Noticing what Aster wanted, he paused, a faint blush colouring his cheeks. "I want you, Aster," he murmured, seeing no reason to

[Huffs softly against his lips]

Come over tonight and let me hold you to sleep, cutie.

Do I have to pout again before you give me what I want?

[He huffed, a playful pout already forming on his lips ]

[Rafayel took the kisses with a mock contemplative look, before he let out a huff of laughter]

That would be enough to get me through to tonight. Then, I will need my favourite pillow in bed with me.

[He scrunched his nose as soon as Aster cupped his face and patted him]

Fine fine

Consider your two missed kisses paid up. Buuuuuuut I will get more from you to last me the day.

You just want to see me pout. You are cruel, very diabolical...

[He grumbled on Aster's lips, reaching out to squeeze his cheeks although they were still kissing]

Still refusing to give me proper kisses. What am I going to do with you, Mr. Bodyguard?

[He lamented, pulling him close to kiss his lips instead]

Best thing I have heard all day.
[Pulls him close and taps on his lips teasingly]

Glad you finally realised that, cutie!

everything he wanted without overwhelming him.

His arms braced on either side of Aster, trapping him gently beneath him as he deepened the kiss. While he was careful on the narrow couch, he soon forgot about where they were.

Pouring all his love and devotion he held for the one he had shared his soul with, he took his time to give Aster

Look! We match, cutie. Maybe that's why we started off as best friends, you know?

//GOOD! Now that you've taken a brain break, look back at the steps, find the correct one and go for it. You've got this! Remember, take breaks.

more and it filled him with joy and nervousness.

"You wish is my command, cutie,"he grinned, lowering Aster onto the couch and he leaned over to bring his lips to his in a deep kiss.

He was not as gentle as he was before, pouring his affections into that single kiss.

Aster was no longer just his best friend. He had become something so much

//Like I said earlier, I take mini breaks. When I feel my attention slipping, I go get some water, go to the bathroom, just throw a random teenage topic about superheroes or something out there and launch into a full debate about who is stronger with my students. Once my brain has rested, work time.

//Nah you'd be surprised by how much you will be able to accomplish even with a lack of stamina. I am a teacher with over 12 years of experience working as one. And my attention span is abysmal. I can forget what I'm doing...while I'm doing it.

//Yeah that is the fun of being neurospicy (me too). Just need to adapt and be creative and then do what you need to get things done.

//Help. I just jumped between Rafayel and Zayne so many times in less than 5 minutes to respond to RPs that my brain is rattling.

//Yeah don't compare yourself with others. Likely those people are still reading but not absorbing as much as they could. Find what works for you to help you study. Not what other people are doing. Your study style might be vastly different from theirs.

//Yeah that is counter-productive. At most 30-45 minutes of deep focus can be achieved before your attention will slip. Pace yourself and you will be more productive when you get back to it.

I'd know. I'm a teacher.
❤️

//Mhm when you find yourself overwhelmed, stand up and walk around. Getting frustrated to tears will make studying harder. Take a break and return to it refreshed. Also break the study session up into 15-20 minute durations and take a break after. Keeps you going longer.

[His nose wrinkled to the kiss]

I will claim my kisses later then, cutie.
After you take me to Eulmore.

//You know what this means? You need a short break. Stand up. Drink some water. Come back to it and then write down the correct steps after looking it up. Repetition is key and being gentle with yourself.

//Noooo no crying. Work doesn't deserve your tears. You hang in there.

Maybeeeeee still a little upset.

[He tapped his lips indicatively once more]

[He stumbled forward into Aster, but melted into the kiss a moment later]

Much.
You need to make it up to me with kisses more often.
