One Breath
by beniblue
Tommy’s phone on the dresser beeped with a text. He got out of bed and picked it up.
He’d been staring into the darkness of the night; he could never sleep. He could never shut it off, or let go, it was always the same.
Tommy sighed and looked at the message. He jumped because it was Isaac!
Isaac: Still miss me, beb?
Tommy: Yeah :(
Isaac: I got a surprise for u :)
Tommy: I hate surprises! What r u doin up this late beb?
Isaac: can’t stand it anymore wanna talk to u
Tommy: Call me on skype?

The doorbell rang deafeningly in the quiet. Startled, Tommy jumped again.
Tommy: Hang on I got some idiot at my fucking door WTF it’s 3am???
Tommy didn’t see it but Isaac texted back while he practically held his breath.
Isaac: Open the fucking door!
Tommy yanked the door open. The expletive he had ready for the late night prankster died slowly on his lips.
He gasped for air and fell backwards, when the wall in the hallway stopped him his knees gave way and he slid down to the floor.
Blue bangs were hiding most of Tommy’s suddenly pale face.

Isaac, all dark hair and eyes stood for a moment longer just staring at Tommy. Then he barged in, kicked the door shut with his boot, and tossed his bag on the floor.
He dropped to his knees in front of Tommy. He reached for him and asked hopeful “Happy to see me?” He hugged Tommy to him.
“Fuck, Isaac! You could have texted me…” Tommy accused with a gruff voice but he hugged him back so tight as if he was never planning on letting him go.
Isaac smiled and sounded a little choked when he said “I did!”

Tommy laughed “Asshole!” and petted Isaac’s arms, his shoulders, his hair, his face… as if to make sure that he really wasn’t dreaming. “Fuck, you came all the way from…. to talk?”
Isaac hugged him around the middle but froze in mid movement and shook his head ‘No.’ “I only have a week but I want to… I need to… I don’t know…!?” The small silence between them felt strange.
Tommy cleared his throat and mumbled “What about…?” but broke off uncertain and chewed his lower lip. Isaac sat up on his haunches looking into his eyes, reaching for him…

Isaac grabbed Tommy by the shoulders and pulled him up to his feet. He held him against the wall. Their eyes were almost on the same level; each sparkling with different luminous shades of brown.
Isaac’s eyes reflected astonishment; he couldn’t believe that he was actually there! In Tommy’s case; the change was like night and day. His eyes, miserable before, were now filled with something close to peace.
Isaac blinked, exhaled softly. He held Tommy’s chin with his thumb and forefinger and sank down on Tommy’s lips. They French kissed as if they only had one mouth, one breath.
