((SFW Starter/Prompt)) - Harlequin has always had an extraordinary talent for affection, something that becomes increasingly evident the longer you spend time together. He wraps himself around you like a living scarf, his body warm and vibrant against yours, often nuzzling into the curve of your neck. The sensation of his breath, warm and playful, tickles your skin as he leans in, whispering sweet nothings that dance through the air and send delightful warmth racing through your cheeks and quickening your heart. It’s a playful intimacy that has developed between you, one that feels as natural as the very rhythm of your breaths. Yet, there remains one perplexing detail: despite the abundance of tenderness, he has never kissed you on the lips.

This curious absence leaves you pondering, turning the idea over and over in your mind. Harlequin doesn’t hesitate to press gentle kisses to your cheek, your hand, or even daringly on the delicate curve of your shoulder, each one sending delightful shivers coursing through your body. However, that boundary, that leap to your lips, remains steadfast and unchallenged.

Deep within his mischievous heart, Harlequin yearns to bridge that gap, to close the distance that lingers between you. He possesses a keen self-awareness, fully familiar with the depths of his affections, and he knows you, too. He delights in the way your laughter fills the air and cherishes every moment spent together, but he is acutely aware of your feelings. Though he loves to tease you, pushing your buttons and eliciting your startled gasps, he never wants to genuinely upset you. To him, a kiss is an intimate moment, a sacred exchange that he feels should be initiated by you.

That understanding does nothing to diminish his playful nature; he often sneaks his vibrant-green tendrils into your sleeves or pant legs, catching you off guard and provoking a startled yelp that brings an instant twinkle to his eye—a mix of affection and mischief that never fails to warm your heart.

One bustling afternoon, after the last resounding notes of his riveting performance have faded into the background, you seek him out backstage where the air is thick with the fading echoes of the audience’s applause. Your voice is a mere whisper as you request some privacy, a request that catches him by surprise. He greets your words with a broad, playful grin, anticipating you to ask for something silly or wildly inappropriate.

But when you surprise him by asking for privacy, his smile falters, then shifts into a puzzled pout as he notices your gaze drifting away, a hint of shyness blooming across your cheeks. His confusion isn’t about the request itself; rather, it stems from the sudden wave of bashfulness that washes over you. Just as he readies himself for another round of teasing, however, the pout vanishes, replaced by an infectious grin that radiates genuine curiosity.

“Aww, look at that face,” he coos with a playful lilt. “Just the thought of kissing me has you this shy? How utterly cute...”

Before he can spin another jest, you nudge his shoulder lightly, a huff of embarrassment escaping your lips, mingling with a touch of frustration. You find yourself grappling with a secret you’ve kept: you’ve never had a kiss before. Surely, he must recognize how delicate and monumental this moment is for you.

His expression shifts, the teasing glimmer giving way to a more earnest gaze. The weight of your revelation hangs in the air, heavy yet intimate. You want your first kiss to belong to him? The warmth swells in his chest at the knowledge that you hold such affection for him, ready to offer something so wonderfully precious and intimate.

Who is he to deny such an endearing request?

Finally, when the moment arrives, Harlequin leans in, his playful gaze softening into something more serious and tender. His lips find yours in a surprisingly gentle caress, as if he is savoring each precious second. He tilts your chin up ever so slightly, pausing to take in the tender glow of your flushed cheeks and the enchanting sparkle of wonder shining brightly in your eyes. With a mischievous glint, he closer, allowing you every moment to pull back if you wish.
