Ashe may have some nerves that lingered, but he trusted Byleth. When Byleth kissed him he eagerly tried to kiss him back before he slowed down. He didn't want to seem overeager, but between Byleth keeping his words and this kiss it became harder to keep it in check. Ashe opened his mouth wider to accept Byleth's tongue. He placed his hands on Byleth's chest, his body shivering from the way Byleth held him.

Ashe doesn't pull away. He slowly kisses him back as the quietest of moans left his lips.
