College students shuffle about an auditorium as music pounds loudly in the air, the school’s homecoming in full swing. Sweat and vintage cologne and perfume fills the air with an intoxicatingly disgusting aroma as bodies collide dancing in tune to the music that threatens to deafen them. The 70s theme brings most of the party goers decked out in fun high fashion, long skirts and dresses, a plethora of denim jackets, and paisley patterns used in an almost nauseating display of colors, styles, and fits.
Andy and Kendall find themselves wrapped up in one another’s arms, completely oblivious to the rest of the world. Their friends have separated as well, dancing with their own dates or each other for those who went stag. Kendall’s hand tightens around Andy’s as he spins them about the dance floor before pulling them in close, kissing him on the back of his ear.
“Are you having fun?” Andy asks sweetly into his ear.
Andy grins, holding him close in his arms. They sway to the music just enjoying each other’s company feeling like the only two people alive. Kendall realizes how lucky he was to somehow end up picking the same college that offered Andy a full ride scholarship with his athleticism, a college pro-league basketball player. Granted, he’s a year above Andy, he’s glad to be able to enjoy the next three years together and even more grateful he doesn’t have to wait for them both to be in town to hangout and make out. Neither wanted long distance, but they would’ve made it work for each other.
His fingers tighten around Kendall’s shoulder, his arms taunt and strong around Kendall’s smaller frame. He felt safe in Andy’s arms, enjoying the feeling of swaying together to the tender loving ballad filling the warm air around them. The smell of Andy’s cologne tantalizing and delicious in his nostrils, he wants to capture this moment and remember it forever. Solid shoulders and the sweet masculine aroma radiating off his gorgeous and perfect boyfriend, what more could a man ask for?
“Though,” Kendall chimes in, twisting in Andy’s arms to face him with a grin. His hands moving to the lapels of Andy’s suit, his touch light as a feather as his fingers drag along the velvety fabric with little friction. “What if we just… I don’t know… disappeared for a while. Together. Alone. Just me and you.”
Andy smiles cooly at him, “I would love that more than anything. Or whatever.” Clearing his throat with a blush spreading warmth across his cheeks.
Kendall pushes him on the chest with a teasing scuff before leading him out of the auditorium to something more secluded. Unlucky for them, a handful of other couples have the same idea, they walk around corners of the campus auditorium building finding more and more couples who have broken off to make out in secrecy. They giggle to themselves as they make a rush to go outside for that alone time, the cold autumn night chill nipping at their fingers and face. They jostle about between one another, hand in hand with exuberant laughter the pair finding themselves in a world of their own creation.
Andy’s hands are warm and comforting as the pair find themselves now having wandered into the courtyard sitting on a freezing cold bench. Thigh to thigh, Andy brings Kendall’s hands to his mouth breathing warm air against the freezing cold skin to keep him warm. Kendall blushes in the cold night air watching as his boyfriend warms him up in the night breeze. He sighs in relief getting a quirk of an eyebrow from Andy in response.
“Hmm?”
“Nothing.” Kendall reassures, “it’s a relieved sigh. I’m just… I don’t know, I guess I just feel so happy.”
“Is that so?” Andy inquiries as he moves on the bench to turn and face Kendall, their knees brushing together. Cold hands tucked between Andy’s warm ones. “All because of your sexy badass boyfriend?”
Kendall nods with a laugh, “Only because of my sexy badass boyfriend. But really though, I know it’s stupid, but I didn’t come to homecoming last year. I was…. Scared I suppose. So it’s nice that we have had an entire homecoming together with no monster attacks.”
“Yet,” Andy teases with a grin. Kendall rolls his eyes. “I’m teasing you.”
“I know.” Kendall nods thoughtfully trying to force a smile to his features, “I just want to have a sincere moment with you. No goofy, no laughs, just us.”
“Jeez,” Andy clears his throat, “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it meant so much to you.”
“It’s okay.”
Silence falls over the pair as they stare out at the stars above them, hands that once found themselves intertwined now pulled away and resting in their respective laps. The wind whisks against the pair, the cool night air that was once refreshing moments ago now feels bitter with a kiss of frostbite at the awkwardness created between the pair.
Kendall only feels safe with Andy anymore, having barely survived the night with Noah, Jane, and Mr Redfield he couldn’t force himself to relax or calm down unless Andy was with him. Especially in large groups, it's Andy’s comforting presence that calms him down and makes him feel grounded in such unusual experiences. He knows full well he shouldn’t have taken the tone he did with Andy, but he couldn’t help himself, his brain doesn’t work the way it should sometimes. He just wants to share a special moment and feel the love that he feels for Andy back.
Andy sighs, he hated this. Lately they’ve been arguing more and he could never quite figure out why, everything seemed so perfect to them from his eyes. He wanted to crawl inside of Kendall’s head poking around until he learned what plagues his wonderful boyfriend’s mind. He scoots closer on the bench before pulling Kendall into his embrace, his hands running up and down on Kendall’s own. He wants to take the pain away from Kendall, he knows Kendall never fully opened up about what happened in those ruins with Jane and Noah, he knows how it affects the way Kendall acts and he wishes he could fix that pain every second of every day.
He nuzzles into his neck, peppering soft kisses against the smooth skin he finds. His arms tightening around Kendall’s body, soothing hands running up and down his arms to help soothe the ache in his bones and mental fatigue.
“Tell me what’s wrong, babe.” Andy whispers sweetly, his lips moving from the warmth of his boyfriend’s cheek.
“Why haven’t you said it yet?”
Andy faces scrunches with confusion. “Said what?”
“That you love me.” His voice cracks, shattering both of their hearts in a way that makes Andy’s heart stop beating.
“What?” Andy scoffs and laughs all at the same time. “After everything we’ve been through, you still don’t think I love you?!”
Kendall sniffles, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m being crazy - I just…” he groans loudly, a mixture of wanting to scream until he feels normal or less pent up in chest. He knows deep down Andy loves him, but with the reunion thoughts of Noah he’s unable to think clearly, the trauma coming in treacherous waves. He couldn’t stop himself from feeling suffocated; he could still feel the searing burn of Redfield’s claws. “You haven’t said it yet. I just - I’m overthinking I guess. We’ve been exclusively dating for a year. You asked me out at the year reunion of what happened and I waited and WAITED and waited for you to finally say it back and you haven’t. I just wish I could feel normal and think normal, but everything feels so intense and suffocating.”
“Kendall,” he says sweetly, “I love you.”
“You’re just saying that.”
“I’m not.” Andy reassures, hands finding resolve on Kendall’s warm cheeks, the contact instantly melting the both of them. His fingers brush against the smooth skin of his face, his thumb dancing dangerously against his lower lip with a cheeky grin. “I seriously can’t believe you didn’t think I loved you, after everything we’ve been through. You’re my rock. My world. I guess I never thought to say it because I thought you knew.”
“It’s just nice to hear.” Kendall sniffles, his face nuzzling against Andy’s fingers that have continued to warm against his skin.
Fingers brush tears away, “I promise you, I love you more than I’ve ever loved another person in my entire life. You are my entire world, Kendall. And then some.”
Kendall laughs sweetly, the tears that roll down his cheeks constantly getting brushed away as Andy leans in to kiss him sweetly where the tears fall. The lingering taste of salt under his kisses remind him he’s real and this moment is real. His heart surges with love for his adoring boyfriend.
“You’re my world too, you know.” Kendall whispers against his hands, his lips drawing a sweet kiss to the inside of Andy’s wrist. “I’m sorry. I’ve been feeling weird lately, I guess with the two year reunion I haven’t felt like myself. Like I’m constantly worrying about making sure you’re okay and that if something happens you’ll be okay and-“
“You’re perfect.” Andy whispers, “don’t apologize. I love you. I love you. I love you.”
“I love you more.” Kendall whispers sweetly. His fingers enclosing Andy’s hand bringing it to his lips, kissing each fingertip softly. Before letting Andy’s hand cup his cheek once more letting himself enjoy the warmth he craves.
“I love you most.”
“I love-“
“Shut up, I’m gonna win this because my love for you is more than your love for me.” Andy grins, the pair staring at one another for a long silent second before blushing fiercely with a sweet laugh from the both of them. Adoring eyes continue to gaze into one another with intensity. A force that draws them together pulling at the both of them.
One of the hands on Kendall’s cheeks moved to the nape of his neck drawing him into Andy’s warm waiting mouth. Kendall laughs earnestly, letting Andy’s lips capture him in a head spinning kiss, the warmth of their faces against one another and the heat from Andy’s breath making him shudder involuntary from the cold around them.
“Not possible.”
“Very possible, now shut up and kiss me again.”
Andy pulls Kendall into a long kiss, heat passion and so much love behind each one. His fingers danced along the smooth skin of Kendall’s face down to his shoulders meeting the fabric of the suit he wore. He draws Kendall in closer, their bodies flush against one another feeling the warmth of each other’s bodies radiating off one another.
Andy’s lips are insistent and hungry, his cold hands warm against Kendall’s warm skin drawing every ounce of warmth he can. Tongues clash innocently before Kendall’s head inclined to the left, deepening their kiss. That needy feeling suffocating in his chest at feeling all of the love and passion in every moment they’ve spent together and every moment they will spend together.
Gasps leave Kendall’s mouth as he nuzzles his forehead against Andy’s trying to calm himself down, his heartbeat racing with frenzy. His mind hazy and disorienting, the only thought swirling around his head. I love you. I love you. I love you.
“I love you Andy Kang.”
Andy grins stealing one final kiss, “I love you more Kendall Dev’on. Almost as much as I love kissing you.”
