Author's Note: This is the first kiss I've done for my 30 kisses challenge of Largo/Muarim. This is a cute pairing which is quite underrepresented in both terms of coupling and the characters themselves. Reviews are appreciated, of course.

Amazing
"It's real amazing isn't it?"
The question had come so suddenly and unexpectedly that Muarim had to sit up in surprise and look over towards his friend , who was lying beside him, staring upwards with the faintest hint of a smile on his face.
"The sky?" Muarim questioned curiously, his tail sashaying behind him casually. He cocked his head slightly when the other man didn't return a prompt reply. His right ear twitched ever-so-slightly before he opened his mouth again, "Lar-"
"No, that big apple tree over there. Of course the sky!" Largo rolled his head to face his companion and grinned broadly, a playful tone creeping into his deep voice. "What did you think I meant?"
Muarim bowed his head in embarrassment, a light pink blush splashing over the bridge of his nose and his cheeks. He self-consciously reached up and scratched at his twitching ear and murmured a simple 'ah…' before falling silent.
Largo laughed then, a hearty and loud noise, and sat himself up. "Aww, don't be embarrassed Muarim! People make mistakes. I didn't mean to wound your pride."
"My pride is not wounded…"Muarim grumbled back, his voice betraying his words.
Largo chuckled again and reached over to squeeze the Laguz's knee.
Muarim slowly raised his head and averted his gaze when Largo tried to catch it, he then settled for staring upwards at the sky feeling somewhat childish that he couldn't even bare to look the other man in the face.
They sat that way for a few moments, Muarim's eyes looking at the expansive sky around them, and Largo with his large hand gently stroking the Laguz's knee.
Largo then moved his hand away from his friend's knee and rested it atop his hand, entwining their fingers wordlessly. He earned the Laguz's gaze then and the two stared at each other for an long instant until Muarim finally spoke, his voice somewhat distant.
"It is amazing."
