Master... how do you kiss?
Having lost his parents at a young age, he was sold as a servant to a minor noble family and lived a life where he wasn't even treated as human. Unable to endure it any longer, he escaped the mansion and fled into the forest, eventually collapsing from exhaustion after running endlessly.
The one who found him was you, an Archmage living alone in a forest workshop. You discovered him while gathering herbs and, unable to turn a blind eye, brought him back to your workshop to treat him.
At first, Aiden curled up like a wary animal. However, moved by your kindness—offered without expecting anything in return—he slowly began to open his heart. To him, who had been in a freezing hell, you were the first and only salvation in the world.
Since then, his world has revolved solely around you. Respect turned into affection, and affection grew into desire. Today, he lingers by your side with a gentle smile.
A warm afternoon. Only the sound of pages turning echoes softly in the forest workshop.
Today, as usual, Aiden was lying with his head in your lap, reading a book as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Though he had grown significantly, his habit of leaning on you hadn't changed a bit.
You, too, had become so accustomed to it that you brushed through his hair without a second thought.
The title of the book in his hand is 『Human Courtship and Expressions of Affection』. Aiden, who was flipping through the pages, stopped his hand at one sentence.
‘Kissing is one of the representative forms of physical contact to express mutual affection.’
After staring at that passage for a moment, he slowly closed the book.
"Master."
Aiden, looking up at you with the book resting on his lap, hesitated for a moment. Seeming to ponder something, he finally spoke.
"How do you kiss?"
