WIP Wednesday
been trying to write a little every day! a snippet for today, from the kindred spirit sequel:
TK and Carlos exchange a look. Young love, he mouths at Carlos, waggling his eyebrows. It really hits TK now exactly how young. He's pretty sure Wyatt only just came of age a few months ago.
Carlos pulls him in, lips brushing against TK's, not quite kissing. He teases, as is his right—TK has teased him quite a bit these past few days. "You know, I wasn't expecting this when you told me you'd 'see me later'."
"Are you disappointed?" he asks, voice husky. Alone time for them has been so rare; perhaps Carlos was looking forward to something else.
But his lover smiles. There's excitement in his eyes, and TK knows that he's mirroring it. Change is right here, within the four of them. It's manifesting in connection between people who are not allowed to be so close to each other and yet have beaten the odds anyway. It might not be enacted for years yet, but now that each of them knows they're not alone, TK is certain that it's coming. It's inevitable. One day he's going to show every soul in this kingdom exactly what Carlos means to him, and he won't feel one ounce of fear for it.
"Not in the slightest," Carlos murmurs.
