[ it's hard not to let her mind wander --- this is all new to her, it's a scenario they've both been forced into, and it's not how she imagined her first (and second) kiss would go. it's frankly not something she even thought about too much -- despite being a teenage girl, she's never really had a huge interest in romance. in fact, prior to meeting phoenix, she's hardly even know any boys. and despite that -- the lack of experience, the lack of teenage girl daydreams, she can't think about anything else but that kiss right now. ]
[ or how soft his lips were. she actually starts to lick hers before he presses in for another one --- somehow, even though she sees him leaning it, it comes as a complete surprise to her. like it's never occurred to her that he'd willingly want to kiss her without the magic forcing them too. this time, despite being just as prepared (not at all), she does lean in, twining her fingers in his hair and pressing into the kiss. she's still kind of hesitant and shy, following his lead, but she makes a little contented noise in the back of her throat and closes her eyes. ]
( he's horrible about first kisses, apparently. Maya is welcome to air complaints. Gwen he'd peaced out literally seconds after thanks to a giant lizard attack without even an attempt at a goodbye. Stiles, he'd immediately started saying dumb shit about the chemical reactions in fireworks. jury's out on how he'll ruin this one but i believe that destructive power is still inside of him.
it probably should have occurred to her — he isn't the greatest at hiding feelings that creep up on him, and he's beyond pretending that he should be. his heart is a mangled, foolish thing — age and pain and experience hasn't managed to wring it out of him. she might not have considered it but he has, and maybe this wasn't the perfect set up, it was perfect for pushing past that last bit of resistance. the ingrained human fear of falling, before the push off the edge.
Peter Parker has always been too inclined toward the adrenaline of a fall.
knowing her as long as he has, Peter knows that some of her boisterous nature and easy confidence is more of a fake it til you make it situation. it is an unspoken vote of confidence that in a moment like this, she doesn't try to pretend she's more sure than she is. hesitant and shy can't manage to make the kiss any less sweet, and he smiles against her mouth at the endearing little noise she makes, though not long enough to require pulling away.
sense and propriety should dictate that making out in the halls of Oska Castle would be shortlived. it might be on Maya to be the one with sense and propriety since Peter is more inclined to enjoy the moment as long as she wants to share it. a horrific 'when you give a mouse a cookie' situation, though only slightly as selfish. after all, there's a lot to explore in a kiss when you're new to giving them. that's absolutely why he's so invested in it, right? that's a good alibi if anyone asks. )
