kieran didn't expect joshua to stop them and they didn't have much time to relax before josh pulled them back , enveloping them into a hug . they didn't want to soften because of the hug or because of what he said . it was easier to keep a distance between them -- to keep joshua at a distance . kieran watched when he stepped back and turned to walk away . they didn't think much of it as they stepped forward this time , reaching for josh and pulling him back before their hands raised to cup his jaw , coaxing him into a kiss .
joshua was surprised when he felt kieran reach for him, he turned back, expecting a fight, but he got the exact opposite. he immediately lifted his hands up, cupping their jaw and returning the kiss with intense enthusiasm. he'd never realised how badly he needed to kiss them, until their lips met. josh was well aware that they could be seen, but he didn't care. it was kieran, and he sure as hell wouldn't be the first to pull away.
