artem wing.

awkward, heartfelt kisses

before meeting you, artem has never really explored the area of romance (naturally, his lips have gone untouched for the past twenty nine years), hence he doesn’t have any experience in this department

a little awkward with his hands - he feels as though he should maintain some degree of courtesy even in moments like these

arms around your waist? a little too intimate. hands on your cheeks to pull you closer? too forceful. where on earth is he supposed to put his hands when he kisses you?

you’ll have to forgive this man - all he knows about this subject comes from the dramas he’s forced himself to sit through (for you)… and that is about the full extent of it. he knows nothing else, but the effort he puts into it is enough to make up for it

his little notebook is full of hastily scribbled notes, but kissing isn’t something you can learn by watching or studying - this isn’t a bar exam

so before your first kiss, artem is racked with nerves. he knows he’s inexperienced, but he can’t think of a way to practice. when celestine finds out about this, she laughs so hard tears come out of her eyes

for his first kiss, artem is oddly quiet. you can see that he’s trying to take things slow, almost as if he’s afraid to make a mistake, so you have to take the initiative to pull him down so that your lips can meet. the little gasp of surprise that escapes him makes it completely worth it

once your mouths join, however, artem sinks into the kiss entirely. you can feel his earlier inhibitions and concerns melt away as one hand rests on your shoulder, while the other cradles the back of your head lightly to draw you closer, as if the distance between you is still too much (there is always too much distance)

his lips are a tad awkward, and when your noses bump occasionally, you hear artem let out a little sigh that makes you laugh

no need to worry about something like that, you whisper against his mouth with a smile, your arms still wrapped around his neck. everyone gets better with practice.

and practice he does. artem has always tackled difficult cases before him with single minded determination, and the subject of kissing is no different. he buys books, watches more dramas, and comes this 👌 close to buying a plush toy to practice on

he wants to be good at this. it’s a simple, innocent desire, nothing to do with pride or face - he wants to make you feel good, and that’s it

when you hear of his earnest attempts from celestine, you’re mortified, but also secretly touched

practice with me, you tell him with a laugh one day when he’s driving you home after work. there’s no need for a plushy when i’m here

he’s embarrassed (celestine why), but admits that he wants to get better before he actually kisses you again, because he wants it to feel good for you

after you reassure him about this, though, he seeks you out to ‘practice’ with him of his own accord - just not in the office, please

in typical artem style, he excels at whatever he puts his mind to

after exploring the art of kissing with you, you find that he has a preference for more subdued, sweet kisses

less about the physicality of the kiss but more of the emotional connection when your lips meet, artem prefers to keep things slow and simple - the gentle but firm press of his mouth against yours, the way his hand rests at your waist, pulling you close against him so that you can feel his heartbeat

likes to keep you in his arms for a while after just because he likes holding you (also to hide the colour of his cheeks)

Corvids have a basic grasp of the theory of mind - the ones who hide their food will remember who saw them bury it, and will come back to stash it elsewhere when they know they’re no longer watched. They are vaguely aware that others are also capable of thinking and planning, and anticipate that another bird would seize the treasure later, if ever given the opportunity.

Many corvids also mate for life. They have foods they prefer more than others, and it has been discovered that they can also know and remember their partner’s favourites, and bring those treats to each other, even if they personally don’t care for this food source.

Is that love? A crow cannot be forced to do something it does not want to do, they do as they please and it pleases them to bring gifts to their partners. What is love but joy that stems from the joy of another?

Do they know what love is? A jackdaw knows that another jackdaw it can see has seen it in return - do they know that a spouse that brings them treats does it as a treat to themselves as well?

Do these birds know what love is? Do they know that they love, and are loved in return?

Kids today don't like spider-man because he's funny or heroic it's because he's the only relatable super hero because his life fucking sucks. He gets his ass beaten and goes home to an eviction notice and a daily bugle headline that says "spider-man cringe compilation"

stopppppp im going to pass away just thinking abt this

every day i am percieved™️
