3. with Darnell Nurse and ??? (surprise me!)
i’ve been thinking about mcnurse for a long time bc They Were Roommates!!! (oh my god they were roommates) but like,,,,being me idk if putting connie here comes as a surprise tho lolol
“have you ever kissed a guy?” nursey asks, draped over one side of the couch, two beers in, right after connor comes out to him. “like, really kissed, not spin-the-bottle kissed or drunken-dare kissed.”
“nah,” connor says, putting his own bottle down on the coffee table. “never got a chance.”
“do you - do you wanna?” nursey asks, sitting up. “like, i’m totally up for it. i mean, i’ve been into guys still, sometimes, and -”
okay, so connor’s probably thought about this a few times, after he and nursey became teammates, friends, roommates. and there are probably a million reasons why this is a terrible idea, but he can’t think of a single one of them right now.
“sure,” he says, moving closer.
and then suddenly nursey is in his space, one hand coming up to cup connor’s cheek. the look in his eyes is almost too much for connor to bear, something heavier in them than the perceived levity of this conversation.
connor closes his eyes and leans forward, presses his lips to nursey’s just once before pulling back.
nursey doesn’t let him go far, though. they stay like that, breathing in each other’s air, and then nursey kisses him again, still light and not enough.
there’s something more hanging in the air, something that they’re not quite yet ready to address, but this - it’s enough for now.
