Lucien was relieved that Faolan didn't pull away from him. It would have given him time to gather what he would have said next, but he wasn't given the chance. Before he knew it, the Irishman's arms were around him, and there was a warmth at his lips as Faolan pulled him into a kiss. There was a moment of shock, as it wasn't something he was expecting, but it didn't last long. Suddenly it felt like all of his worries and fears had been completely washed away. He relaxed, and it was when he leaned into the kiss, a hand reaching out to tightly grip Faolan's shirt, that he realized just how much this meant to him. How much.. he wanted this. Plenty of times women had sought his company in the past, and Lucien never held any interest in them. Even back then.. he had always found his mind trailing back to Faolan, thinking about how he was doing.. how he was feeling.. how he had to go back and meet up with him soon. This feeling that stirred within him was not simply friendship.. no it was more than that. He could see that now. 

There was reluctance as Lucien forced himself to break their kiss, allowing them to catch their breath for a moment. He saw Faolan quickly glance at their surroundings, a glint of worry on his face. It was that and the feeling of the cold night air against the heat that their contact had created that made Lucien more aware of their surroundings. He tugged on Faolan's shirt, and pulled him into the nearby alleyway, making sure they were out of sight from any people that might decide to pass by. He understood his worry of not wanting to be seen. 

With that out of the way, there was no hesitation in his next course of action as he placed a hand on Faolan's cheek, golden eyes burning with a newfound desire before leaning in to kiss the Irishman again. Their last contact had been his first kiss.. and now this was his second, and there was no moment in him where he regretted any second of what was transpiring. He had never felt Faolan as relaxed as he could feel him now. Any time the Frenchman had hugged him.. he had always felt tense, but not this time. It was the most relaxed and at ease they had ever been with each other, and he could not deny that he was rather enjoying it. In this moment everything that had happened prior to this did not matter. The only thing on his mind right now was Faolan, and how much he didn't want to let go of him.
