bare-knuckled

by vivilove

“Do you still box?” she asked. “Um…yeah, a bit,” he answered, smirking while gently dabbing at a little of the blood which had run down her bare arm towards her sleeve. “Could you teach me, you think?” “To box?” “Maybe just a little self-defense?”“Yeah, I could teach you, Sansa. Whatever you’d want to learn.”"I'll pay you for your time." He snorted but not meanly and told her, “You can pay me with your lemon cookies, sweetheart.

Five Times Kevin Did Something for Charles (And One Time Charles Did Something for Him)

by Soar319

Kevin shows his love through action and acts of service. Charles also shows his love through action and acts of service. It's just very difficult to come up with said acts when Kevin can do the majority of them himself easily, never requests for anything beyond a kiss, and says nothing about what he needs or wants.
