Over and over and over went the words in Peter's brain, like a news ticker with one bizarre update. Two seconds ago, they were roommates, friends that lived together under ancient ceiling tiles in a tiny compartment of a room. All of a sudden, Peter wondered if that was what they'd ever been. Hindsight choked him so hard that he nearly forgot to kiss him back.
His brain rebooted and importance returned to him. With little regard for anything else, including the computer in his lap, Peter angled his legs toward Jason. A hand found the side of his neck and he kissed. They were kissing. For years this kiss had lived in his belly, in his chest and now it was on his lips, hard and sudden and burning.
He shuffled his legs out the rest of the way from under the laptop and let it land on its side against the mattress. He inhaled sharply as he twisted toward Jason, hitching himself up to get as close as possible. Oh God, how he'd wanted this. Some nights it was all he could think of. Now he knew why: it wasn't just him. For the first time, he thought that maybe Jason had been awake those nights, too.
