Yesterday was national kissing day, and I was talking about how it would have been a good excuse for a kiss meme, and how it seemed those kind of themed memes seemed to have died out a little

Pete/Patrick -- Up For Air 2/2jedusaurJuly 8 2011, 22:35:52 UTC
Finally, Pete moves those extra inches back into Patrick's space and moves to take his hand. His fingers are shaking a little. Patrick holds still, being solid for Pete, letting him know that solids still exist. When Pete's breathing smoothes out and he's not going to startle, Patrick wraps an arm around him and pulls him into his lap. Pete rests his head against Patrick's shoulder and Patrick holds him, tightly enough to keep him grounded, not tightly enough to send him back into the headspace he doesn't need anymore.
It's a fine line, bringing Pete back to the surface without letting himself slip out of the hyperaware state in which he's useful. Against his shoulder, Pete shakes his head at nothing in particular (or maybe at what's inside his head, but that's obviously not something either of them wants to revisit). Patrick gives him another minute to swallow around the soreness in his throat before he turns a little, careful not to dislodge Pete, and meets his eyes. It's almost a physical pain, seeing the trust in Pete's face right now, because Patrick knows that trust isn't just for him. It's for anyone who can hurt Pete in just the right way, whether it's his mom poking at an emotional sore spot or a stranger in a bar fight slamming a fist into his sternum. Patrick's just the only one who deserves it.
He tilts Pete's chin up with his fingers easily and touches their lips together. Pete sighs into it, nestles himself into Patrick's lap and opens his mouth to Patrick's. Pete hasn't so much as wiped his mouth after blowing Patrick, so he can taste himself on Pete's tongue. It's not so much a kiss as another point of contact, a way to communicate so that Pete understands without overthinking. Patrick licks Pete's lower lip slowly, asking for a little time, and Pete shivers, but acquiesces.
That there was a hint of resistance there is encouraging, Patrick thinks. He allows himself to enjoy this, the way Pete feels against him when he doesn't feel the need to struggle or crawl under Patrick's skin. Soon enough, the moment will pass, and Pete will start itching again; subtly at first, then more blatantly, until he's wrecking shit left and right. And Patrick will be there when he does, ready to give him what he needs.

*grins* I would still have read it if you'd titled it Afterblow.
I really liked the line of Pete trusting everyone, and Patrick being the only one that deserves it. And of course I just like the whole scene, Pete just screams sub to me.
Re: Pete/Patrick -- Up For Air 2/2gala_applesJuly 8 2011, 23:34:52 UTC
I laughed FOREVER when I read that the first time, it's just as funny now. I actually had this conversation last night. Well, sort of. WHY WON'T MY FIC BE TITLED. friend: dunno. WHHHHY friend: have you opened itunes? *snicker* YES. ALL THE SONGS ABOUT WRISTS ARE ABOUT SLITTING THEM. friend: well i guess you're fucked then. WAIT I CAN USE QUOTES *GOOGLES* friend: how'd that turn out? FUCK THEY'RE ALL ABOUT SLITTING AND SLASHING TOO. MY FIC HATES ME.
Re: Pete/Patrick -- Up For Air 2/2verbynaJuly 9 2011, 01:45:35 UTC
That conversation was resumed when I wrote the Bareback To The Future fic. I ended up calling it Traveling Light (J's suggestion, of course, I am USELESS at titles). She beta'd it, since, you know. Her fault. I used to go for quotes from the stuff I'd read, but these days it's all kinky porn and Central European philosophers. Not helpful, self. /o\
Re: Pete/Patrick -- Up For Air 2/2jedusaurJuly 9 2011, 05:24:06 UTC
Yeah? Name one thing you've written, ever, that could not be appropriately titled with a quote relating to either kinky porn or Central European philosophy. Name one.
Re: Pete/Patrick -- Up For Air 2/2verbynaJuly 9 2011, 06:32:49 UTC
One day, J. One day I will write something that can't be appropriately titled thus. (And then I won't like it and I'll delete it and you'll be right anyway, dammit.)

Oh, this is so great. The trust and the knowledge of each other and the fact that the trust isn't always deserved and how much Pete needs and...oh. Just lovely.
