Cause he knows he's taking chances. [Test post for Peter]

Jason arrives to St. Cecilia's feeling both as though he's about to take flight and he's about to sink into empty air with only the cold, cruel autumn ground to break his fall. He breathes in the oppressive humidity of the late August day as though he might steal some of the summer sun to keep himself warm on the inside. His senior year, finally. Everything comes down to this. All of those 'encouraging' family talks and hollow laughter about how he'll make the family proud and burn brightly on at Notre Dame. All of those discussions about how he'll meet his future wife and provide his parents with grandchildren soon enough.

He shakes his head, taking a stuttering breath to calm himself. He's only just arrived. No need to let the pressure of everything build quite that high up just yet.

His parents offered to help him unpack; he waved them off with the smile he'd gotten so good at faking, gently hinting that perhaps their assistance would be better off with Nadia, who rolled her eyes, but offered him an actual smile all the same.

His family ought to have left by now. He hopes. Regardless, with one last exhale, he's on his way back to his room. He needs to see Peter more than anything. He's the only person Jason wants to see in this moment; he's the only one who will understand.

But of course, he's Jason McConnell, and making his way back to his own room is never that simple. He winds up chatting with Matt for a few minutes, before gaggles of girls try and worm his number out of him. He endures about ten minute of it before excusing himself, nearly running to his room where, hopefully, he'll find Peter.

The tenderness Jason practices even when need is tugging at both of them always blows Peter away. He's more or less in his lap anyway, and it's obvious they're on the same page. It's a fragile, incredible moment, though, so Peter positions himself fully in his best friend's lap and caresses his face from hairline to incredibly-shaped jaw.

"I want you," he assures him, unsure and unwilling to think about whether or not Jason understands exactly what he means. Now is perfect, but when he can stop and think about it, later is plaguing him. He didn't figure it would be so loud that it would bubble to the surface even in moments like that one--

He wants Jason to convince him. He wants to not need to feel convinced.

Thanks to the few moments to breathe that they've taken, some of Peter's senses have returned to him. He can't help but notice that he's shaking a bit; his preference was that Jason not notice, though there was no way he could miss it. The closeness, the sex: these were things only shared with Jason. In that moment, he feels the love, that crazy, shuddering need for forever. He's not sure it's ever been like this and it makes him dizzy. Incredibly grateful is how he feels when his back meets the unforgiving mattress again.

It really was just like being high, for all of the few experiences Peter had managed to convince himself to indulge in.

A light bell-like laugh rolls out of Peter's mouth when his eyes follow Jason's hand to the bedside table in the corner between the two beds.

"And you call me a boyscout," Peter quips, his voice still tinged dark as his throat hitches with the raw, naked friction between them. He makes sure to find Jason's face while Jason is busy digging in the drawer. His arms seem to float up independently of Peter. Hands flatten against his chest and he lavishly slides them downward, feeling the peaks and valley's of Jason's magazine-cover perfect torso, drinking it in. A few seconds' worth of that eyeful and his teeth have found the swollen skin of his own bottom lip, again.

"Yes," Peter repeats quickly, lest Jason back off; Peter knows he doesn't want that. A soft, reassuring kiss is pressed carefully centered on Jason's lips. Once his head returns to the pillow, he continues to watch Jason, then watch Jason watch him. It's insane how much eye contact Peter maintains with Jason and with nearly no one else. What if they saw how he felt? No doubt it was strong enough to be seen if either of them let it happen. If Jason would.

Serious Peter wrinkles his nose at Jason's gentle teasing, rejecting its presence and still reveling in it. How is it that he found this perfect person with whom he feels totally at ease in a place that is essentially a pressure cooker for misery? It is both in spite of and because of Jason that Peter still believes in fate, in destiny. In a power he cannot understand.

Even just the sound of the air escaping the bottle in the Jason's hand out of Peter's immediate sight sparks up that burning excitement within him. He can feel a string of pleases and mores and blasphemous curses curling around his tongue -- he literally has to press his lips together to keep the dam from breaking.

Once he can feel Jason's finger inside of him and all of the things the sensation promised, he forgets every one of them. White snow-like haze tints the corners of his vision. He wants to throw his head back, to lose it already, but instead, he tunes into Jason's voice again. Jason's perfect fucking voice.

"Tell me." It's meant to be a plea, but it comes out rougher, more insistent than he intends. He hooks his hand at the back of Jason's neck and covers his mouth hungrily before repeating, "Jason, tell me." It's softer when against his lover's lips, more desperate.

Surprised by the reaction getting exactly what he wanted from Jason and the accompanying wildfire it starts in his entire midsection, Peter gasps. He's not sure (and he doesn't care) whether Jason's touch or his words that sends him past the point of clear thought. As much as he wants to lie below Jason as he worships him with his words and touch, but it's not enough, anymore. He clutches at the back of Jason's neck, tangling his slender fingers in the damp, tousled tufts of Jason's hair.

"Please," Peter all but whimpers, flexing his arm to tug Jason down to his lips again. He's frenzied, but he's all in one place, body and soul, and he's feeling greedy. "Please, God, Jason, please." Even through the haze this mewling turns his cheeks and ears red. Somewhere, floating about himself, he knows he's lost control, but either he can't pull the strings to get himself together or he doesn't want to.

There's a veritable symphony of gorgeous noises coming from Jason's mouth, and the noises fall whether Peter is dampening the sound with his own mouth or not. Jason's curling, twisting, insistent fingers are winding him tighter and tighter and he too feels like he may go completely mad.

He knows what Jason wants, knows that all he has to do is say it and that Jason will, the way he always does, bring fantasy into reality. He's also sure he's given Jason enough satisfaction in this encounter alone that he's not sure he wants to stroke his ego more. There's his lover's hand again, though, searching and pushing and Peter can't take it anymore.

"Fuck me," he hisses, the sound of the desperation and boldness in his own voice closing his lips, eyes, and then he's moaning, loud, frustrated, frenzied. "God, please." He's twisting his hips and ass down now, trying to get the most out of Jason's touch, whimpering and shuddering breath after shallow breath. "Jason, I need you." The desire has mounted to shuddering, quivering basic need.

As Peter suspected he might, he comes completely undone the moment Jason slides slowly, lovingly into him. He remembers in a flash of incoherence how the first few times had gone: the pain as they figured the logistics out, but the persistence for all the right reasons. Since he was a boy, Peter hadn't thought he would ever get to experience the kind of love he wanted: the sort that he's been raised to believe doesn't exist. Before he met Jason, before Peter could really put into words what he felt, all he could feel was like there was something wrong with him. Here, underneath the only person he's ever loved, could ever imagine loving, that's the only time he ever feels right.

Hot, sweating already from the frantic build-up, Peter finds his hand at Jason's shoulder again, coming in hard nails first, but he catches himself and smooths his hand out. Focusing on this grounds him enough that he manages not to cross the finish line the moment he feels Jason inside him, and this is just another reason he's grateful for the care Jason takes with him, now and always.

Eyes wide again, Peter watches Jason, listens to his constant stream of obscene, tantalizing sounds. He can feel the overwhelming heat he feels spreading through his boyfriend, as well, and while he has his wits about him enough to challenge Jason, he begins to move. A sound works its way from deep in his throat, but he stifles it in favor of hearing just how Jason feels about this new development.

It is only after Jason has buried his face in Peter's neck that Peter allow his eyes to close; he refuses to miss a moment of the was Jason looks over him, inside him, all around him, especially straight at him with those big, blue eyes. Yeah, he can remember buckling under the first glance from those crystalline pools. He can still see their warming, soothing shade of blue when his eyes finally shut against the weight of Peter on top of him.

Every contact point feels independently alive to Peter, from caress to intrusion to soft lips and hot breath, each seems to warm to a glow, like a map of all of the territories of Peter's body that are Jason's, only.

The fingers of his left hand have, unbeknownst to him, been curled tightly in the top sheet for an unknown period of time. He slides his hand from the back of Jason's knee, up to his thigh, and over the tight, maddeningly soft skin there. He doesn't squeeze or slap, but just spends some extra time there on his way up Jason's entire body.

"Jason," he whispers, mirroring his lover's ecstasy before volleying it back to him. Their bodies are slick, now, and it facilitates movement well. He's bucking underneath Jason, palming his damp shoulder, his toes curling and uncurling with every move.

Now their hands are another affected area on the map of slick, burning touch. It seems like every time Peter's just about to cool off a little, Jason's there with another perfect twist, grab, lick or caress. With his arm outstretched to maintain their palm-to-palm contact, he can more easily arc his back into the feeling of Jason's hot, insistent breath. He's close, now, desperate, rock hard and straining to be touched. Every time Jason snaps his hips into Peter, he's delivering shock after shock of near-paralyzing pleasure.

Jason's voice cracks and Peter chokes out a moan that doesn't ever really become a sound. How is it he can do this to Jason? It makes perfect sense that Jason does it to him -- perfect, brilliant, straight-A's, always-first Jason with his model physique, heartbreaking smile and molten-hot voice -- but Peter? He doesn't see himself as in Jason's league, and that's just another reason he feels terror creep up on him in those quiet moments when he's alone in their room. It's just another reason Peter keeps himself as busy as he does with AP classes, theatre, and TAing. He'd go out for sports if he didn't hate them so much.

Peter's eyes snap open at the question -- had they been closed that whole time? -- and he gently pushes Jason back. He wants to kiss him, wants Jason to touch him, and he wants to see that way Jason looks up at him when Peter's on top of him. He kneels between Jason's legs and kisses him hungrily until his lover is sitting.

"You can do anything you want to me," Peter rasps against Jason's lips. He only pulls away from his lips long enough to straddle his legs and brace himself on Jason's shoulder as he lowers himself down, too eager to drag it out like he originally thought he might.

When Peter prays, he sometimes wonder if the strength and forgiveness he asks for isn't sent to him because of Jason. However, in pouring over scripture and theology (the latter when he can -- the St. Cecilia's Library isn't too stocked with literature on opposing religious theories), it's not their illicit encounters that troubles him as much as he's pretty sure he's set up a false idol in his best-kept secret. The fact is that he's heard Jason tell him he loves him just as many times as he's heard God's voice declare the same thing by way of a choir of angels tap-dancing. It's easier to love what you can see, touch, hear, and it's harder to resist the more you're told that you have to. His love for Jason is unwavering, even when it's painful; sometimes, he thinks he and God are going to need some couple's therapy.

Of course, until the guilt about the doubt settles in and Peter's on his knees for God instead of Jason.

An arm rests on Jason's shoulder for a moment for balance -- Jason's impossibly soft, strong hand has wrapped around him and he knows he's not going to last much longer. He whispers his boyfriend's name against his lips. The arm draped on Peter's shoulder unfurls Peter crosses it over the back of Jason's neck. He has to brace himself with his right hand palm down on the bed behind him, but then he can trace his fingers through the wet, exhilarating curls near Jason's forehead. A strangled sound grips his throat and he hisses Jason's name again, head tipping back to enjoy the opposing sensations of hands, hair, and dick.

Peter's no longer thinking, barely breathing save for hungry sips of air between shuddering moans that punctuate smacks of skin and sweat stretched over hard, tightly-wound muscles. With Jason's arm around his middle, he can focus a little less on not falling and more on the way it feels to be pumping his hips and ass between Jason's cock and his hand. He's not caressing Jason's hair anymore so much as tugging, gently twisting his curls in restless handfuls.

And God, his voice. He remembers one time that he, Peter, Ivy, and Nadia were hanging out at a picnic table out at the far end of the boys' dorm when they were years younger and that Nadia told Jason that no one could possibly like the sound of Jason's voice more than Jason. He almost told her that she was wrong. Sometimes, when they're in class (while Jason is, apparently, being haunted by Peter's laughter), Peter is fantasizing about Jason's voice on his neck. In Chem Lab their junior year, all roommates were paired off as lab partners. Peter can still remember some of the things he heard that gorgeous voice say under the whir of a centrifuge or the high-pitched emission of a Bunsen burner. He also thinks that they've been able to get away with a lot (like leaning on each other at the picnic tables or taking a little too long to get back from lunch) by playing the roommate/best friend card.

It takes him two tries to actually speak, and he doesn't even really bother removing his mouth from Jason's when he chokes out, "Make me come when you do, Jason." His teeth bear down on Jason's pouty lower lip, swollen as it is and forming around incoherent sounds between moans and whines. A (much too loud) gasp chokes Peter as Jason finds just the right spot. He tips his head back down to press his forehead against Jason's to bring his teeth down hard on his own lip. He's working hard, sweating and panting to keep from losing it before he gets what he's asked for.

God, Peter cannot count how many times he's heard his name groaned, whispered, moaned in this encounter alone, but he wishes he could go back and do so. No, really, he just wishes that the equality he feels on their first days together would stretch on for forever. By the end, Peter feels like Jason is too worn-down from his parents' ridiculous expectations, the church's stance on their relationship, and the pressure he puts on himself to meet any and all of these things, and it puts strain on their private world. Now, though -- and he was right, this particular reunion has definitely taken the number one spot in Peter's mind -- he feels like their delicate act is as iron-clad as the gates that surround St. Cecilia's, not to mention Peter's heart, and Jason is the only person to have ever crossed its threshold. There's a laundry list of things that are Jason's only and he wishes so much that he could talk to someone about any one of them.

It hasn't really occurred to him what's just fallen from his lips, but if he had been embarrassed in the first place (and he hadn't), he was justified and satisfied by Jason's response. A little heady laugh -- a burst of breath, really -- bubbles up spills over. Knowing what Peter likes wouldn't be enough to drive him crazy like this, but his self-assured, amazing ability to congratulate himself even in the throes of passion tickles Peter. Nadia rolls her eyes about it, and Peter nearly has to cover his face to keep the other's from seeing him beam when Jason is amusing Jason. It's cute, and that's a part of Jason that feels like his, a kind of his like he feels in these moments when the only thing they need is to see a pleasure so complete that they could drown in it reflected back in one another.

Jason," he warns, but feeling Jason so close to the edge and hearing his request echoed in the voice of the only person Peter has ever, could ever, will ever love, it's enough burning that's propelled his mouth and hips and anywhere else Jason wants bursts forth. He's coming in paralyzing waves as Jason's delivering straight-up perfection to him at every point. Now, his hand is balled up in fists of hair at the back of Jason's head. He crushes his lips against Jason in an attempt to stifle what he's sure will be loud, total loss of control.

The guilt doesn't usually set in until the last light is off and they're settled in their separate beds. Sometimes Peter tries to stave this off by requesting they share a bed that night, but he knows that it's too risky. So many nights, after Peter and Jason have spent a never-long-enough night in their private world, Peter's heard the master key in the lock. It's just a curfew check, but Peter feels like it's also a decency check. Which isn't to say Peter and Jason are being singled out, as the dorm checks are random and they do a complete sweep of the floor every time, but he knows the Catholic church and has been properly raised to fear repercussions, both tangible and not.

That night, though, Peter feels especially confident -- however falsely -- that he will dodge the demons. What's just happened is more loving, more desperate, more alive than they've ever been together. He feels like this year is finally going to be different.

Yet guiltless and light in the fuzzy afterglow, Peter shifts his weight off of Jason to his own hip. He's still pressed firmly against his boyfriend, half-atop him with one leg tangled up in Jason's. Their slick bodies seem to expand and contract in unison as Peter huffs out breath after amazed and dazed breath. He's ready to lift his clear, sharp gaze to Jason, but when he sees Jason's mouth on his own hand, tongue greedy laving from palm to fingers, Peter flushes deeply, though any semblance of innocence in it is exposed as false by the hungry little growl that rumbles in Peter's throat. His tongue licks along Jason's lips, insistent and basic.

Many, many kisses pass before Jason finally speaks. Peter's cheek rests on Jason's shoulder, mouth nearly at his jaw, eyes tilted up to give his lover his full attention. He laughs.

"You thought of that before you even left Connecticut," Peter accuses, but there is no malice in it. He's simply just sure he's right. He can picture Jason there in the back seat, silence stretching between the McConnell tribe as he smirks to himself about some little wordplay he's going to save for his reunion with Peter. It thrills him to imagine Jason thinking about what he's going to say after some lovemaking, because that also obviously means he was thinking about it, as well.

He goes to answer the question, but three months of limited contact and doubt has him wondering if it was an actual question or a setup for a joke. He's instantly mad at himself for fucking up the vibe so soon and pushes the doubt away with a gentle kiss to Jason's jaw. "Tell me about yours." Its a request, a soft one, and he's just going to punctuate Jason's tale with kisses.

Peter rather thinks that it's Jason that looks to be illumined by divinity. The looming twilight is being staved off by sharp, direct rays through the slit of the tacky dormitory blinds, and it casts this disc of light that touches only Jason's jaw, lips and the line made by his collarbones; it's like a spotlight on the parts Peter wants to put his mouth on at any moment of any day. He's all about his lips, though. As enticing as those other parts are, he wants the part that can kiss him back, justify his presence, answer the questions that keep him up so many nights.

And then that smile, wide and full. And it's for him, that's the astounding part. He's searching his memory for a time he might've seen that smile of Jason's out on the field of one of the various sports he's tried to drown his feelings in, or that one time that they took a drama class together and Peter caught Jason enjoying himself, or after one of his numerous meritorious achievements at school. Nope. Nothing that could even come close to the brilliance of that particular smile. His smile.

Jason's voice admitting his forethought snaps Peter out of his trance and he lifts his eyes to his lover's face once again. There, he sees a stark truth that he doesn't often get to see from Jason, even in their stolen moments. He looks like he's been aching, Peter thinks, to see him, to touch him, maybe even to tell him what he's just said. The fact that it's so important to him that Peter know it, not to mention the fact that he feels it at all, humbles Peter like religion. Only when Peter hangs on Jason's words like scripture, he doesn't fall flat with the guilt in his interpretation.

"I love you," Peter says simply, but the truth of it warms the edges of the statement and he covers Jason's mouth with another gentle kiss before he can be devastated by the lack of reciprocation.

He recovers with a sort of giggle at Jason's insistent nuzzles of jaw to lips. It's not like he was going to be able to refuse even playfully, so he makes quick work of pressing slow kisses along his jaw while he talks: it's the best kind of hurry-up-and-wait.

"I hope she gets cast in a better role this year." Peter sympathizes with Nadia on that. For years, they've been having quiet meetings about how they're overlooked and how the best actors always get pushed to the periphery because the show needs support. It makes no sense to either of them, but it's landed them some quality bitching time between Sister Chantelle's sassy rants and biting quips. When Jason moves on, instead of addressing the stress he knows Jason is avoiding, he pads his thumb softly over Jason's, sympathetic and supportive. "You know they're too hard on you." Another kiss, this one at the juncture of Jason's neck and collarbone, then they're kissing proper, once again.

"Mm, it was okay," Peter hums against his lips. He steals another kiss and then settles his head back on Jason's shoulder. "Lots of empty promises from my dad. Mom worked most of the time. I got this part-time job at a grocery store, saved a little money up." He shrugs. "And then my mom reminded me that we hadn't heard from Notre Dame yet and that it would mean sooo much to my father if I went there." He huffs a sigh. "So I spent my time watching movies and thinking of you, listening to music and thinking of you, and bagging groceries and thinking of you." A slow smile spreads over his face, warm as the butterflies twitching their wings around in his chest and stomach.
