Kiss
His kisses are hard, intrusive, confident, and George hates that they make him gasp while Callie’s slow romantic ones only make him yawn.

In that hallway, he pushed Callie up against the wall. Not that he just wanted her to listen to him, to understand what he was saying, but he wanted that desperation. He wanted something other than hearts and roses and long romantic kisses. He understands he is her McDreamy, that she freaking loves him, but still. He wants something more. He wants a passion, a need. He needs her to need him, but not in the way she does. He needs her to need him the way Alex does.
In that hallway he doesn't think about how Alex pushed him up against that same wall. Alex wanted to him do the exact same thing, just listen to whatever he was talking about, but George couldn't listen. All he could do was stare at Alex's mouth. It was funny, because he had never noticed, but he could have sworn that there was a slight scar running from his mouth to his jaw. Very unnoticeable, and really, he'd never been this close to Alex. Alex was mad and therefore invading his personal space. He stares and tries to figure out if it's a real scar or not, or just something from his imagination so he can at least fixate on something. His mouth must have been slightly open, as he honestly doesn't remember and that's the only explanation as how Alex's hands ended up framing his face as he shoved his tongue inside. There's a desperation there, an absolute need. A need to feel something, anything at all. George finds himself needing that. But he also finds himself need something else. He needs Alex to need him the way Callie does.
