That's a good reaction, that bucking of hips. David files it away and, after a second of thought, throws up an extra layer of mental defenses. He doesn't want to accidentally pry into his love's mind, and who knew what this would do to him.

While that's happening he opens his mouth, letting Balthier lead the kiss. Not that he completely demurs before it, meeting Balthier's tongue with his own, hoping to have the chance to explore.

And his hands? Oh they are so done with this shirt. They release Balthier's hips and move to try and get the shirt off of his love. He wants that skin bare to his fingers.
