Summary: To Inuyasha, it's as natural as breathing.
Inuyasha thinks it can’t be forced.
It’s something natural, and it happens within an open sliver of time, allowing the perfect amount of room to let the feelings go, unbridled and organic.
It happens without distractions, without people who gawk and snicker and make fun. And then, it won’t happen. It doesn’t feel right. They’ve already wedged a spot in that perfect time - uninvited and sullied.
But it can happen again - within the shade of trees and in the open under a light blue sky.
Sometimes it happens after a fight or misunderstanding, after tears dry and smiles reclaim the heart.
His favorite, however, is when it happens spontaneously. She’s coming back from a bath or returning from playtime with the kids, and then he's grabbing her and pulling her against him. She’s startled, but it’s always the right time and the right place.
He opens up to her, and he knows she doesn’t need to demand it; she doesn’t need to ask or wish.
His lips slide against hers naturally and organically - fit perfectly there and perfectly with him. He’s not really forcing it. To him, kissing Kagome is like breathing. He doesn’t have to think.
It just is.
