So I said to myself, Self, I really want to write about kissing. So I did. Look. I just think they're very pretty together. I'm sorry.
"Hey," Pete said. Patrick had time to think, he looks like he's going to kiss me, before Pete did, mouth slightly open, lips dry and chapped. Patrick flinched in surprise, then opened his mouth, tilting his head to a better angle. Pete's hand opened and closed spasmodically on Patrick's knee before moving to his shoulder, then his hair, dislodging his hat. Pete pulled away and shifted until he was straddling Patrick's lap, hovering over him, and then he was kissing Patrick again, hands gentle on Patrick's face like he was something delicate to handle with care. The universe collapsed into just the two of them and Patrick's hands sliding over Pete's back and Pete's slowly-settling weight warm on Patrick's thighs. Patrick, dizzy, thought for one long moment about entropy and inevitability before he stopped thinking at all.
