Under The Stars One-shot

ONE

The night was warm, a gentle breeze rustling through the air as Peter and Alex made their way to the rooftop of Peter's apartment building. The city sprawled below them, its lights flickering like stars in the dark. They had been out with friends, but now, it was just the two of them, the world fading away.

They settled onto a blanket Peter had spread out, their shoulders brushing against each other. As they sipped their drinks, laughter filled the air, but the playful banter was laced with an undercurrent of tension that neither could ignore.

"You know," Peter began, his voice teasing, "I didn't think you'd be brave enough to come up here with me."

Alex raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Oh, is that a challenge? Because I could show you bravery."

Their eyes locked, the challenge hanging thick in the air. Peter felt his heart race, the thrill of the moment making him bold. "Prove it," he said, leaning in slightly, their faces inches apart.

In that charged silence, Alex took the leap. He closed the distance, capturing Peter's lips with his own. The kiss was hesitant at first, both of them testing the waters, but soon it deepened, becoming hungry and desperate.

Peter's hands found their way to Alex's hair, fingers tangling in the soft strands as he pulled him closer. Alex responded eagerly, his hands resting on Peter's waist, thumbs brushing against the fabric of his shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin underneath.

They broke the kiss, breathless, foreheads resting against each other. "Wow," Alex murmured, a grin spreading across his face. "That was... definitely brave."

Peter chuckled, the sound vibrating between them. "I think we can do better."

With newfound confidence, Peter pushed Alex back onto the blanket, his body hovering over him. The playful teasing transformed into something more intense as Peter kissed him again, this time with more urgency, igniting a fire within both of them.

Alex's hands roamed over Peter's back, fingers tracing the line of his spine, sending shivers down Peter's body. "I've wanted this for so long," Alex admitted, breathless.

"Me too," Peter replied, his voice low and filled with longing. He trailed kisses down Alex's jaw, savoring the taste of his skin, eliciting soft gasps that fueled his desire.

"God, Peter," Alex moaned, fingers tangling in Peter's hair, urging him on. "Please."

Feeling emboldened, Peter moved lower, kissing along Alex's neck, down to his collarbone. He could feel Alex's heartbeat quickening under his lips, a reaction that sent a thrill through him. "You're incredible," he murmured, pulling back just enough to gaze into Alex's eyes, filled with heat and anticipation.

"Take me, Peter," Alex breathed, his voice thick with need. "I want you."

Peter's breath caught, but the urgency in Alex's gaze was all the encouragement he needed. He leaned down, kissing Alex deeply, their bodies pressing against each other. Hands explored, unbuttoning shirts, fingers gliding over heated skin.

With a rush of excitement, Peter pushed Alex back against the blanket, his body fitting perfectly against his. The world around them faded as they lost themselves in each other, exploring the boundaries of their newfound connection.

"Are you sure?" Peter whispered, pausing to look into Alex's eyes, searching for any hesitation.

"Absolutely," Alex replied, his voice steady, desire evident. "I want this. I want you."

With that, Peter captured Alex's lips again, their kisses growing more fervent. His hands roamed lower, slipping under the waistband of Alex's pants, feeling the heat of his skin. Alex gasped, arching into Peter's touch, urging him on.
