Everything shuts down, white-hot breaths pressing stamps against Teddyâs inner wrist as he makes a desperate last attempt at containing his eagerness. âOh,â he gasps, and it doesnât work. Not as he whines like a lame dog and his gaze is glazed over with cloudy detachment, jaw held ajar as blood runs to his skull and right back down to the soles of his shoes. Heâs begun to shiver and shake but the room is burning up, his cheeks are scalding and his palms are running down Teddyâs chest and theyâre slotted together like two quarters in a coin machine and heâs waiting for somebody to make the push, but itâs so hard. Itâs so hard to try and forget what lies right outside their own world, this bubble of affection that canât be popped unless provoked. âWhat a fucking waste of time,â crawls from the sliver of space above the carpet, departing words that lie defeated without any sort of knock to follow; our valiant Dismissive Boyfriend seems to flee the scene and has left his lost lover pinned up against a door by the man heâs been giving side-eye since the beginning of time. And to make it worse? Teddy speaks and Joâs biting at his bottom lip, the dilated pupils of his stare morphing into big fat hearts, hands flat to the otherâs ribs. âWant,â he nods with as much willpower as he can muster. Canât bring himself to budge too much in this grip. âWant you,â itâs sickening how he leans in and leaves his mouth agape, tongue heavy as if tied to a cinderblock. Heâs drowning. âMean it.â
Teddy had been with several people before and yet nothing amounted to the intimacy that he felt just being so close to Jo, hands searching each other in a desperate way that would have anyone else thinking they were trying to memorize every sharp jut of bone and soft curve of flesh. The laugh he releases is more gasp than anything else, head shaking at Normanâs words, âHeâs finally gone.â Despite the fact that there was no reason to keep their voices lowered any more, Teddyâs voice is still barely above the caliber of a hushed whisper. He liked the feeling of their conversation being just between them, despite their privacy. Before, Teddy had always thought that itâd been cheesy when people said they could get drunk off someone else, but just sharing the same space as Jo had him feeling light all around. âYeah?â Touch to his ribs like a brand, it felt like a white hot pulse was vibrating around Joâs hands, drawing Teddy in closer like opposing magnets in close proximity. Teddyâs mouth almost waters glancing at how deliciously beautiful the boy in front of him looks, pink lips glistening and parted and eyes lidded, pupils the size of dinner plates glancing at Teddy through thick lashes. âIâm -,â stopping himself before he can even continue, Teddy figures that actions speak louder than words. Hand still holding Joâs face like it was the worldâs most valuable China, he draws the boy in closer until their lips are merely a hair apart. Tongue poking out, Teddy laps at Joâs full bottom lip in a quick movement, drinking in his taste. Satisfied, itâs then that he finally closes the gap, pressing their mouths together in a kiss that had Teddy breathless before it could even be considering a proper, movie worthy kiss. Hand still resting at Joâs side, he took the opportunity to wrap it around the small of his back again, pulling the other in until they were completely flush. He hoped Jo couldnât feel the way his hands shook, an intoxicating cocktail of nerves and excitement leaving Teddy unbelievably inebriated.
