Lucas hesitated before replying. Okay. Another pause. Would it make you uncomfortable if I didn't get off of you immediately?

Callie smiled again, blushing the smallest bit as he replied. No. Not at all.

Okay. Lucas's hands trembled a bit and he tentatively hugged Callie again, hiding his face.

Callie hugged him tightly again, enjoying the feeling of holding something, even in his own metal hands.

Lucas sighed softly and seemed to relax, glad that Callie didn't think he was weird. Honestly, he really enjoyed being close to people, but he almost never got to even touch someone else. The nurse was pretty much the only one he could go to when he got excessively stressed since one, she had his pills for it, and two, she would let him hug her and wouldn't report him to the king and queen or anything.

Callie sighed softly, resting his head on top of Lucas' to further comfort him. He hadn't had anyone to hold like this since he left Australia, his best and only friend being in Mexico. He liked the feeling, the comfort and warmth that came from it.

We should probably go. Lucas signed nervously, glancing over at the nurse. I know somewhere where we could be alone.

Callie nodded, letting go of Lucas almost reluctantly.

Lucas hesitated before untangling himself from Callie. The nurse tossed him another water bottle, which he caught, and he pulled Callie up with his free hand. He led him through hallways until they reached an obscure room that seemed to be a sort of lounge. Lucas was the only one who ever came here, so he knew they'd be left alone.

Callie looked around, spotting a couch and sitting on it, looking up at Lucas. The room was rather cold compared to the rest of the castle, and he pulled his leather jacket tighter around him.

Lucas closed the door quietly behind him and settled himself in Callie's lap again, seeming content. They kept each other warm even in the cold room, so both were able to be quite comfortable.

Callie wrapped his arms around Lucas again, his mechanical arms surprisingly warm despite the cold environment.

Lucas nestled his head into the crook of Callie's neck, his breathing relaxed and even. They fit quite nicely together, and Lucas really liked being held like this.

Every now and then Callie couldn't stop thinking about Lucas - how he was holding him, how he felt in his arms.

After a minute or two, Lucas pulled away so they were face to face. He smiled genuinely, his dimples showing on his pale cheeks. They were quite close to each other by now.

Callie blushed a little at how close they were, smiling back at him even though he wasn't quite sure what Lucas was smiling at. Him? Maybe. Probably not. Either way, simply seeing him smile made Callie do the same.

Thank you. Lucas held up one hand, his expression softening. He kissed Callie's cheek to thank him and hugged him again.

Callie's blush deepened as he froze for a couple of moments, hugging him back after he regained the ability to move. The prince. The perfect prince. The adorable prince. Had just. Kissed him. Not on the lips, but still. Kissed him. Lucas liked Callie. Well, Callie liked Lucas a lot too, so he guessed it evened out. But still.

Are you okay? Lucas signed after a bit. Did I do something to upset you? He seemed a bit nervous, his own cheeks lightly flushed as well. It was far more noticeable on him, though, since he was pale though that any amount of blushing was visible.

Callie shook his head, smiling a little. Of course not. You kissed me. That's a good thing.

Lucas hesitated. Was I too bold? He was more flustered than anything now, but he never tried to move away from Callie.

Callie shook his head again, the smile not leaving his face. No. It was perfect. Because it had been - of course it had. Everything about Lucas was perfect.

Lucas locked his gaze with Callie's, his baby blue eyes catching the soft light of the room for a moment. They were rather large in proportion to his face, making him look gentler and younger. (cough twink cough) His blush gradually started growing a bit deeper.

((lmao I was thinkin that))
Callie's blush did the same, becoming more visible against his tan skin as the seconds passed. He wanted to kiss Lucas right then, he really did. He was just…Callie didn't even know. Perfect. Adorable. All of that. So his impulsive brain did exactly what it said it would do: He quickly kissed Lucas, on the lips this time, his blush a bright red.

Lucas froze up, surprised. Then, his blush steadily darkened until he was a deep red. He touched his lips gently with one hand and exhaled shakily. Oh my god. He just kissed me. Holy shit. And I liked it. Ohhhh god…
