Our first kiss:
Valko is impossibly clingy—a contradiction for someone who carries himself with such quiet confidence around everyone else. Whenever I am reading, cooking, or sorting through paperwork, he’d wander over without a word, wrap his arms around my waist, and rest his chin on my shoulder. Sometimes he’d simply nuzzle into the crook of my neck, breathing in my scent as though it brought him comfort.
And yet…
Despite all his affection, he had never once kissed me. I wonder why, but I still do not have the courage to ask.
The morning after another exhausting mission, I finally made it home.
I pushed open the bedroom door, only to find him asleep across my bed. His laptop rested beside him, its screen still glowing with unfinished reports. Even in sleep, work refused to let him go.
A fond smile tugged at my lips.
He must’ve waited for me.
I didn’t have the heart to wake him. Instead, I quietly gathered a robe and slipped into the bathroom.
Today’s patrol had been merciless. Fighting Wanderers through the outskirts of Linkon City had left me sore from head to toe. Sweat clung to my skin, dust stained my clothes, and every muscle begged for rest. The warm shower washed away the grime, but not the fatigue.
When I finished, I wrapped myself in a soft robe and stepped back into the bedroom, planning to change into my favorite pajamas before collapsing into bed.
I barely made it two steps.
Strong arms circled my waist from behind. A startled gasp escaped me as I was pulled against his warm chest. My face was buried in the fabric of his shirt, heat instantly rushing to my cheeks. He smelled like cedar after rain—woody and earthy, softened by a faint sweetness that was unmistakably him. It was a scent that always made my heart stumble.
“V-Valko…” I mumbled, too flustered to think straight. “Hi… I thought you were asleep. I didn’t want to wake you. You’ve been so busy lately…” I glanced toward the bed where his laptop still sat open. “…You even left your work unfinished.”
“I don’t care about that right now.”
He leaned back just enough to look into my eyes, concern replacing the drowsiness.
“How are you? I messaged you.”
His brows knit together.
“I called several times. You never answered. I was worried.”
A wave of guilt washed over me. He promised not to interfere with my work unless his name is cleared from the Association’s watchlist. The mission had kept me away from my phone and communicator for days. I offered him a sheepish smile.
“I’m sorry.”
I reached up to cup his face.
“But don’t worry anymore. I’m here now.”
Wanting to make up for it, I leaned forward, aiming for a kiss on his cheek. At that exact moment… He turned. Instead of brushing my lips against his warm cheeks—
My lips met his. Everything stopped. It lasted no longer than a heartbeat. Just the gentlest touch. Soft. Warm. Gone before either of us had the chance to realize what had happened. A shiver raced down my spine.
His eyes widened in complete surprise, mirroring the shock I knew was written across my own face. For a long second, neither of us spoke. Thoughts tumbled through my mind in relentless waves.
Does he not want to kiss me? Did I somehow miss a spot while showering? …Does he not like me anymore?
Valko watched me in silence, and the soft crease between his brows told me he had already pieced together every anxious thought racing through my head. He let out a quiet sigh before stepping closer.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured. “I didn’t mean to confuse you. It’s just… I’m trying to be careful.” His voice dropped almost to a whisper. “This is my first time feeling this way about someone. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
His hand instinctively brushed over one of his wolf ears before uttering another word.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back. I’m afraid I might accidentally hurt you.”
For a moment, I simply stared at him. Then I smiled.
“I’d like to know that side of you,” I said softly. “We’ll figure it out together.”
I am starting to see less posts of ours and more mean negativity creeping in!
We are losing momentum! Please do not give up!!! Keep posting, stay respectful but persistent! Re-tweet and always use hashtags!!
MAKE SURE THEY KNOW. What has happened is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I know we are tired, but look how far we've come. We cannot taper off now! We have to do it for HIM, or we could still lose this thing!
I'm so proud of you all! You are amazing and I am so glad for the comfort we have given one another!

there’s so much we can glean about valko just from these sticky notes. he mentioned earlier that, when he likes someone, he makes a move. he offers to make us a “fancy meal” (whatever that means by his standards), but the implication is that he’s willing to devote the time and energy to nourishing us while making his efforts known, thus orienting himself towards acts of service being one of his primary expressions of love
(1/4)
This reminds me of that time someone said I’m more likely to cheat on my irl fiancé because I write smut for Zayne and the boys like who do you think gives me inspiration?? You just gotta laugh at this point 😭😂
