A quick warning - this is quite long by my standards. It started off small but it just kept growing.
That kiss.
One kiss which changed everything
The memory of lips on lips was too strong to ignore.
One moment replayed over and over in dreams
The one moment where there was nothing else around them
One time when you could forget there was anyone around you.
Passion, desire and love all in a single kiss
It could take your breath away and leave you always wanting more.
To watch it was beautiful
But nothing could beat the experience of it.
“You alright Craig?”
He turned round to come face to face with Hannah.
“Yeah. I was just wondering where John Paul had got to.”
“I see you found him” She pointed over to where John Paul was standing in the street, locked in a passionate kiss with Spike.
Hannah smiled and let out a small sigh. “I know he’s happy with Spike but I still wish it was me he was kissing like that. Look, we had better be getting back. Sarah will be wondering where we got to” She walked back inside the pub, leaving Craig with his back to JP and Spike
“You’re not the only one who still loves him.” He said to no-one in particular.
A pair of arms wrapped around his waist, taking him by surprise.
“So you won’t mind if I do this then” John Paul placed a row of gentle kisses on Craig’s neck.
“John Paul, what about …”
“Me?” Spike smiled at the two of them. “Look, JP and I had a great time but I couldn’t compete with you.” He saw the look in Craig’s eyes questioning what he had seen. “That was just our way of getting you to admit the truth. I could see the way you looked at him over the past few weeks. We talked and we thought you just needed a bit of a push, is all.”
Craig placed his hands over JP’s, which were still round his waist. “I guess I did. What about Hannah and Sarah?”
“They’re okay about it. We all sat down and realised this was best for everyone. Besides, Sarah is back with Rhys and Hannah’s with Marcus, you know the blond in her Drama class.”
“Look. I had best be going. Good luck to you two, but you won’t need it.” He gave John Paul and Craig a kiss on the cheek before heading back inside the pub.
John Paul turned Craig around to face him. “So. What do you want to do now?”
“Well, I thought about kissing my boyfriend, but then I remember seeing said boyfriend kissing another bloke. So you can see I have dilemma on my hands.”
John Paul nodded “That does sound like a probl…..”
He didn’t have time to finish before he felt warm lips on his. Both of them poured every inch of their desire and love for each other into the kiss and neither wanted it to end. But a small cough interrupted them.
Hannah was standing in front of them
“You might want to come and see this. That is if you want to.”
She gestured to the way they were standing. John Paul hands were up the back of Craig’s shirt and Craig has slid his hands into John Paul’s back pockets.
They could hear a commotion inside when Hannah went back in.
“Shall we?”
“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt” Craig was bringing his hands back out when he was stopped.
“Not so fast. I liked them there.” He then moved to mimic Craig with one of his hands so they could walk side by side.
When they opened the door, they couldn’t help but grin at what they saw.
Darren was pinned to the bar having his face snogged off……by Spike, and by the sounds they were making, neither were showing any signs of stopping anytime soon.
“What a pair of show offs. Do they have to do it here?” Sarah asked.
“Spike is a good kisser, Sarah” Craig looked at his boyfriend.
“He is, is he?” He said as he kissed the side of John Paul’s mouth.
“Yep”
“Well, we’ll see about that”. He moved away before John Paul had a chance to stop him, taking a beer with him.
“Spike.” He stopped kissing Darren, much to Darren’s annoyance, and turned to face Craig. “Hmm?”
“Drink this, will you?” Spike looked at him curiously before taking the bottle and drinking it.
When he had finished the drink, he said “Okay, thanks for the drink but what’s it all in aid of?”
Craig took Spike face in his hands “This” and kissed him.
It wasn’t long before instinct took hold and their hands were all over each other.
John Paul was stunned, not to mention everyone else, to see his ex and his current boyfriend snogging each other’s face’s off
“Wow. They look so hot together”
“Hannah!”
“What? Are you seriously telling me, Sarah you aren’t thinking the same thing?”
“I am. I’m just surprised you said it, is all?”
John Paul couldn’t help but agree with them. Suddenly his head was filled of the image of the three of them together (Darren and Craig together would have been a bit too weird) and he could feel his desire start to take over. He needed some control back.
He looked over toward the bar and saw that Darren was coming toward him, with a cunning look in his eye.
“What do you think of this then? We can’t have our men like that no can we?” He looked back toward the still kissing pair before looking back at John Paul “Not all the time at least”
John Paul chuckled before he noticed Darren’s arm was round his waist and his lips were making their way up his neck and they began to kiss. John Paul closed his eyes and was enjoying the attention when…..
“Oi, Darren! What are you doing to my boyfriend?” Craig and Spike were now standing in front of them, looking with them with a mix of anger and very apparent arousal.
Darren looked at John Paul and they both grinned at each other.
Mission Accomplished.
“I can help it if everyone wants me. Besides, I’m not the one who wandered off to snog another bloke”
“I had to see if what you said was true.” Spike looked at him. Craig explained “He said you were a good kisser and I wanted to know for myself. Don’t worry, you are a very good kisser” He gave him a peck on the lips to reassure him.
“Why did you give him the drink then?” Darren asked.
“I didn’t want the taste of you in my mouth, that’s why. Now are you going to give my boyfriend back to me?”
“Sure on one condition. I get mine back”
“Deal” The two step-brothers switched over and were met with a passionate kiss from their partners.
“Looks like you boys had an interesting night”
“Aren’t you going to introduce me, son?”
“Mum, Jack. I thought you were out all night” Craig and Darren looked a little embarrassed to see them standing behind them.
“Jake called us and said you and Darren wanted to talk to us about something”
Jack continued “I figure it has something to do with these young men youre with”
“Dad, this is Spike. He’s our new DJ…and my boyfriend” Darren too Spike hand as he spoke
“Mum, you know John Paul, my boyfriend.” Craig wrapped his arms round John Paul’s waist, mimicking what John Paul had done earlier.
The four of them smiled at each other and Frankie and Jack could see how happy their sons were.
“Well.” Frankie said. She looked at her husband, unsure if she should continue. When Jack nodded, she did.
“As long as you boys are happy, I guess that is all the matters” She placed her hands on Craig and Darren’s shoulders.
Jack stood beside his wife. “John Paul, Spike. Just so you know, if you do anything to hurt my son, or my step-son, you will be in serious trouble.”
“I can assure you, Mr Osborne” Spike looked Darren in the eye “I promise that I will never do anything that would ever hurt Darren” He was rewarded with a brief kiss from a grinning Darren.
“Call me Jack, Spike. Same goes for you, John Paul”
“Thanks. Don’t worry, Mrs Osborne. I know Craig and I haven’t had the best of times recently, but I can promise you here and now that I love Craig with all my heart and I couldn’t do anything to hurt him” He took Craig hands in his and looked him in the eye. “I love you Craig”
“I love you too, John Paul.”
“About time!” Sarah and Hannah shouted from their table.
“Look, you go and join the girls and I’ll bring some drinks over”
“Thanks, Mum”
The four sat down with the girls, looking relieved it was all over.
“That was easier than I thought it was going to be” Craig admitted.
“I think that might have something to do with the fact they caught you kissing each other after you switched back” Hannah said. The four boys all blushed bright red, blushes made worse when Frankie arrived with their drinks. The girls just laughed at them.
“Well, I’ve decided” Craig said triumphantly.
They all stared at him. “Decided what?” asked Sarah
“Two things. One, I’m not hiding this at school. If I want to kiss my boyfriend in the middle of the hall then I will, and the same goes for him. I am not going to hide this from anyone.” John Paul couldn’t have looked any happier if he tried “Don’t look quite so happy, JP, the second thing is your punishment” John Paul’s face dropped.
“What for?”
“You kissed Spike and Darren.”
“But you kissed Spike too”
Darren joined in the conversation “That was hardly a punishment watching this pair snog, mate, and I know you agree with me” John Paul was forced to agree at that point. Seeing Hannah and Sarah were on Darren’s side with this he knew he was beat.
“You got off on watching me and him kissing?” Somehow Spike and Craig said it at the exact same time.
Both their boyfriends nodded.
Craig leaned over and whispered in John Paul’s ear “Now you know how I felt”
“You can’t punish me for that then. You had your payback on that already.”
“Okay, then” He pecked John Paul on the lips “But for kissing Darren, you have to kiss Sonny now.”
“What! Why him? Does it have to be him?”
“Yep. Tomorrow at school. In front of as many people as possible in one of the hallways. No teachers though.”
John Paul sighed into his drink “Fine. Just once. But you have to be around when I do it”
“Don’t worry. I will be”
Spike looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s late. I should get going”. By this time the last few people were on their way out.
Darren grabbed Spike’s arm and pulled him onto his lap “You are going nowhere tonight. Neither is John Paul” He showed Spike a piece of paper before handing it to Craig to read.
Darren and Craig,
Just so you know, Jack and I are going back out for the night and Steph has gone stargazing with Elliot, so you have the place to yourselves tonight. Have fun!
Frankie
“I think this is our cue to exit, Hannah. We will see you tomorrow, yeah?”
“Sure” Craig and John Paul kissed them both on the cheek before Craig followed them to the door, locking it as the girls left.
As he did, he turned to find himself pinned to the door by a very horny John Paul, who was kissing him before he even had a chance to speak. Giving in to his own desire, Craig put his hands on the back of John Paul’s head, pulling them deeper into the kiss, before bringing one of his legs round John Paul’s waist. John Paul’s hands slid down to Craig’s middle and grabbed his legs to bring them both tight around him.
Craig used this chance to grind his body against John Paul’s, showing him how much he wanted this. John Paul broke their kiss but Craig kept grinding harder and harder.
John Paul was struggling to breathe “I won’t last much longer if you keep doing that, Craig”
Craig looked at him with pure desire. “Let go then. I’m yours, John Paul. You started this, so you have to finish it. Make me scream for you.”
They soon became aware that there was another set of moans in the room. They looked over to see Darren and Spike in a passionate kiss, with Spike’s hand clearly down the front of Darren’s trousers and Darren working on the buttons on Spike’s shirt.
They broke apart and looked at the other couple, who were still locked together against the door.
John Paul was the only one brave enough to speak as he looked at the occupants in the now empty pub.
“I think the best thing to do is continue this upstairs”
“In couples or all together?”
“Spike!” was the identical cry from the other three
He raised an eyebrow. “After what else has happened tonight none of you can say the thought hasn’t crossed your minds at some point”
They had to admit - he had a point.
Darren looked at his lover “Some other time, perhaps. Right now, I want to see you go up those stairs and if you’re still dressed by the time I get up there, you will be in serious trouble” With that Spike dashed up the stairs.
Darren got up from his chair with a very smug grin on his face. “Night boys. Have fun.”
Once Darren had gone up, John Paul looked at Craig “I have no doubt that we will have some fun tonight, and the night after that, and the one after that, and the one after that. From now until the end of time.”
“I just want to see the look on everyone’s face at school, and around town too. Do you realise how many hearts we are going to break?”
John Paul laughed “I have a feeling there could be a few. Imagine how many would be relieved that they won’t be chased by Darren any more?”
“Spike should be able to keep him under control”
“What about you though?”
“I am very happy where I am. Even more so cause I get to wake up next to you in the morning. Plus I get to see the look on Sonny Valentine’s face after you kiss him.”
Both boys laughed before making their way upstairs for their first night - and morning - together.
