Line of Time

It was Painful to watch You Leave in Peace

Gunnar and Tino sat on the couch together, Tino's legs on Gunnar lap while he had his arm wrapped around him. Tino's head resting on his chest and listing to his steady heart beat, it sounded strange hearing a beating heart, he hadn't heard one in such a long time and he missed the loud drum that was called Gunnar's heart. An old feeling taking them over once again, Gunnar looked down at him and colorless eyes met his icy blue ones. Gunnar's other hand bringing Tino's chin up and their eyes closed and they melted into a sweet kiss. They broke the kiss and looked into each other's eyes, Tino giving him a bright smile and Gunnar a shy one. Tino's hands moved up onto Gunnar's shoulders and Gunnar pulled him up to sit on his lap. Tino's cheeks were dusted with a light pink by Gunnar's action but that pink color only got darker as Gunnar kissed him again, this time the kiss was deep and passionate. Tino leaned in close to Gunnar's ear and whispered in a soft breathy voice.

"I never got to answer what you told me . . . But late is better than never. I love you Gunnar..." Tino said as Gunnar got up off the couch and pulled him into another kiss and his hands wondered to his lower back and into his back pockets. Tino stood on his tip toes and his fingers entangled themselves into his hair, when they broke apart they were both breathless and a feeling raced through them. Love, passion, lust and desire. Gunnar looked up the stairs out of the corner of his eye and then back at Tino who smiled. Before Tino could take his hands away from him he had been sweep off his feet and was being carried in Gunnar's arms as if he were a damsel. Gunnar walked up the stairs and into his room, shutting the door behind him. Gunnar put Tino down on the bed and crawled up next to him, kisses were exchanged as Gunnar took off his shirt and started to do that same to Tino but after Tino's shirt was removed was when Gunnar noticed that Tino looked a bit uncomfortable with the situation. Gunnar's face showed his worry and he stopped what he was doing as he then sat down next to him.

"What's wrong?" Gunnar asked as he wrapped an arm around Tino, trying to comfort him.

"I-I..." Tino trailed off and Gunnar knew what was wrong as he saw Tino's face turn a deep red.

"We don't have to." Gunnar said, causing Tino to look up at him, Gunnar rubbed his back as Tino calmed down and became less nervous. Gunnar walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pajamas, they were stripped with blue and white strips. They were the only pajamas that Gunnar had and offered them to Tino. he changed into them but they were to big for him. The shirt was a dress on him and the pants wouldn't stay up, when he walked back into the room he tripped over the pant legs and Gunnar caught him. When he put Tino back on his feet the pants fell down  and Tino sighed. Gunnar just picked up the pants from off the floor and gave Tino a smile as he then left the room to go to the bathroom, taking the pants with him. Tino crawled up onto the bed and waited for Gunnar to come back, he did and to Tino surprise he was wearing the pajama pants that had been to big for him, he didn't have a shirt on which caused more surprise. He walked over to the bed and crawled in as well, pulling the blankets over them both and turning off the bedside lamp that lite the room.

"You're not upset are you?..." Tino asked his voice small and embarrassed.

"Why would I be upset?" Gunnar asked as he put his glasses on the nightstand and turned back over to face Tino.

"Because I didn't want to..." He said shyly as he played with long sleeves of the shirt he wore nervously.

"No... Tino I would never be upset with you for something you weren't ready to do and I would never force you to do anything like that. I'm just happy that I get to see you again, even if it's just for a night, I'm more than happy with just having you next to me." Gunnar said as he looked over at him, Tino then snuggled up to him, burring his head into Gunnar's warm chest and Gunnar resting his chin on his head.
