practice kisses
closed for @lowesutton
There was a half empty bottle of cabernet on the coffee table, the second of the night. Only candles lit the fully furnished condo. Hudson hadn’t been thinking ‘mood lighting’ when he lit a total of eighteen candles, some on chandlers, some large and scented with somewhat sultry names, but they definitely set the mood. And his new ‘friend’, his only friend since he had re-located, looked damn good with the soft glow on his face, and the flicker of fire in his emerald eyes.
Sipping at his wine, Hudson stared longingly into it for a moment before slowly letting his eyes dance up to Lowe’s once more. Soft Shoegaze and experimental jazz played in the background, and Portishead called out longingly as Hudson spoke, throwing the suggestion out there like it was nothing. “Do guy friends ever like... practice kissing, you know, like girl... friends do?”, he asked casually, before not so casually draining the red from his wine glass, and setting it down.
