Kip definitely would not call himself the type to just willy-nilly go on dates. Mainly because, well — it wasn't very often he had the free time at all. His main job, and side hustles he took on, all of it sort of snatched up his time and kind of held it hostage, so to speak. So to say he was surprised with himself when he was winding down on a third date with an admittedly very handsome man? Would definitely be a bit of an under statement. Not to mention the date being at said mans place — something Kip certainly did not do often at all. Had already made his ice-breaker joke about being murdered, gotten a laugh out of it. All was going good. Really good, in fact, if the comfortable way they settled into the couch and watched a movie had anything to say about it. Amazingly good, if said movie soon got ignored for some mutual glances that ended in a few little breathless laughs on Kip's end. Breathless laughs that, inevitably — got caught in his throat when Owen began to lean in after one mighty long staring contest they seemed to have.
Kip could have backed up. Could have called it a night, admit he was tired, maybe admit he never moved so fast, but. . . Somehow he really did not find that any of that was true. When their lips met it was warm, it was gentle. There was no rush and no pressure to go farther than that. It was sweet, to say the least, and when it broke it was only with a few inches between them, just enough space to meet eyes once again. " . . . Soooo I take it you're bored of the movie, then? " Playful, a smile twitching onto his lips with too much ease.
