a/n: this is officially my first fic of the year, because I wrote it just after midnight on New Year's Eve.

Dominic’s kisses are tied to his moods. At times, Billy likes to think that he’s experienced all of Dom’s kisses, and therefore all of his moods, but then there are other times when Billy thinks that he will always be discovering new layers to Dom’s personality.

When he’s nervous, Dom’s kisses are hesitant and he unknowingly puts on a show, even if there’s no one else in the room. He calls upon his acting skills to play a façade of confidence. Billy can always tell, though, because Dom hesitates just before their lips meet, just the slightest bit unsure whether the kiss will be received well or badly.

When he’s drunk, Dom’s kisses are sloppy, wet, and undeniably passionate. It’s times like these when he doesn’t care at all who watches the act. In most cases, Dom’s arms latch onto Billy’s neck, pulling him in forcibly and slamming their lips together with no thought to the consequences. Dom’s drunken kisses are the ones they laugh about later, when both parties are sober again.

When he’s sorry, Dom’s kisses are open and vulnerable, like he’s offering up his soul to Billy. He lets Billy take the lead and direct the kiss, and he never clings to Billy other than the feather-light touches his fingertips make on Billy’s arms or in his hair. Billy always dreads these kisses because he knows that Dom will do anything to express his apology, and they both know that Billy can easily go too far when Dom is not ready.

When he’s sad, Dom’s kisses are chaste and closed-off, even to Billy. Dom never takes on more than he can handle, and he knows his limits on the level of his emotions. When he’s melancholy or depressed, Dom will more often want a hug or a cuddle beneath a warm blanket, and Billy will sing him a song or tell him a story while petting Dom’s hair gently. It’s when Dom kisses him that Billy knows Dom’s feeling better.

When he’s angry, Dom’s kisses are rough and needy and sharp with a few clashes of teeth and much knocking into furniture. However angry he is, though, Dom’s teeth never leave more than small, stinging nips on Billy’s lips. Billy himself has drawn blood once or twice in the heat of the moment, but neither complained.

When he’s horny, Dom’s kisses are confident, demanding, and carnal. Dom knows his own sex appeal and he knows how to use it for the maximum effect. Dom knows exactly how to use his tongue, exactly where to touch and grab, and exactly when to push and pull. Every part of him seems to become sharper, as if he focuses his energy everywhere at once. Dom’s teeth are sharp, his stubble scratchy, and his jaw angular and unforgiving. Dom knows exactly what to do to wrap Billy around his little finger, and he does it well. These kisses are ones other people never see, because however passionate Dom acts around people, it’s nothing compared to how erotic he is when he and Billy are alone.

When he’s sleepy, or sometimes even completely asleep, Dom’s kisses are soft and usually land in places other than Billy’s mouth. These kisses will usually result in good-natured arguments about where Dom meant to kiss Billy and Dom’s apparent oral fixation.

When he’s in public, Dom will kiss anybody and everybody except Billy, because while Dom is in control of himself to an incredible degree (it’s all the meditative yoga), he’s not in control enough to close off his emotions and have the kiss mean nothing. Billy has only experienced one of these kisses, before they had become inseparable, and he thinks he can do without this one type of kiss if it means that he has access to all the other types of kisses.

When he’s demonstrating his love, Dom’s kisses are romantic, perfectly timed, and perfectly executed. He uses the same technique as when he’s horny, but much slower and deeper and ultimately more satisfying for both of them. Dom will kiss Billy spontaneously in the kitchen while washing dishes or in front of the television for no reason at all other than the fact that he can’t contain his emotions around Billy. Whether these kisses progress into something more is random chance; half the time, Dom will just smile and wander off happily.

When he’s just being himself, Dom’s kisses are everything under the sun and moon together. They are all of Shakespeare’s plays and the sonnets too, they’re passionate, they’re urgent, they’re vulnerable, they’re chaste, and they’re needy. Sometimes they’re tearful from joy or sadness, sometimes they’re laughing or teasing, and sometimes they’re just Dom, stripped bare and completely open for Billy and only Billy. These kisses, these uniquely Dom-kisses, contain every joke ever told, every song ever sung, and every star ever shone, and sometimes, Billy feels guilty. He feels guilty for being the only person in the universe that gets to experience such a wonderful gift. But then Dom will smile at him and Billy forgets to think and instead just loses himself in Dominic’s kisses.
