I've been bummed out lately, so I've been spending a lot of time rereading stories that I love, and looking at lolcats,
Shane flies out to Baltimore and meets them at the venue after the show. Brendon's so relieved to see him that he just barrels past the others and wraps his arms around him, holding on tight.
"I missed you," he whispers, and he's got his eyes shut tight. Shane smells like Shane, not like bus or old socks or sweat or any of the other smells Brendon has to put up with every day. He wants to just stand here and breathe in his boyfriend, and he doesn't care if that makes him weird. He just wants it, needs it, even.
"Missed you too," Shane says, equally softly. He's holding onto Brendon so tight that Brendon's lifted off the ground for a moment, toes dangling.
AND ALSO!!!!
"You're all warm," he says. His nose is pressed up into Shane's armpit.
Shane kisses the top of Brendon's head. "I'm sorry," he says, "about your friends. And your mom."
Brendon shrugs and burrows closer. "Still got you."
"Yeah," Shane says. He hugs Brendon tighter. The kitchen smells like chocolate.
Both excerpts from
Swimming Out In The Blue by

I emailed the first one to
sunsetmog yesterday, and then we talked about facials, ~thematically~ (her story), and I managed to trick Brendon and Shane into finally FINALLY making out (my story), so yesterday turn out to be a pretty good day.
Anyway! IF you happened to want to find
lolcats pictures to go with your favorite stories and IF you wanted to post them in the comments here along with the excerpt, that would certainly be A++++++++++ with me.
Dooooo iiiiit
