@SYRIDARIA not a thing i do goes unnoticed by you . and of course a kiss means something —— when i kiss your cheeks , it means a polite greeting . when i kiss your hand , it means i adore you so .

same way if i were to kiss your mouth , it would mean i liked you .

[‍ ‍ᵀᴴᴱ 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋 . @PRETTIEDPAWN]

they should know there is no reason to be secretive about it .ᐟ we kiss each other’s cheeks all the time .

I think it depends on the situation , sometimes proud can be your downfall . And it must a King thing , my brother is very proud and I do not know a King that is not .
