[SDMN] Imagines

KSimon #2

JJ and Simon sat on the edge of the road in silence. The two enjoyed each other's presence. They crunched the dead, brown leaves beneath their feet. They have been together for almost three months now. Simon appreciates how willingly JJ is to take things slow with him. But he isn't going to wait any longer.

"So this is what it feels when you're about to propose..." Simon comments, referring to the thousands, not hundreds but thousands, of butterflies in his stomach. Simon brought himself to lift his head up. Him and JJ looked at each other.

Simon placed his hands on either side of JJ's face. He had so much built up inside of him he thought he could just go for it. Simon didn't move. Instead, JJ cracked a smile before they both started laughing at how awkward that was. Their smiles remained as the laughter died down. Simon dug deeper for the courage he needed.

He made eye contact with JJ again, his hands once again resting on JJ's face. His chocolate-skinned boyfriend cracked a smile even faster this time. Simon knew this wasn't working like he had hoped. The two could only laugh at each other and smile. Simon wanted this. He wanted it to be done.

"I'm sorry." JJ chuckled. "I can't keep a straight face." he snapped his fingers.

"Uggghh, that pun!" Simon groaned. JJ continued silently giggling to himself while a whirlwind of emotions spun around inside of his partner. Simon stared the leaves before spotting a tiny one and picking it up. He was stalling. He knew it. "This leaf is so tiny." he showed JJ before dropping it back onto the street. JJ started laughing hard again.

"It's so cu-" he said, his words barely sounding like english. He folded in half. His head practically touched the ground.

"What's cute?" Simon knew what word he was trying to say. "The leaf? Or me? Or both?" JJ nodded at the last option. When JJ finally recomposed himself, he sat back up. Simon stared at intently. JJ tried his best to hold himself together. "Do you know what's happening?"

"Yes." JJ nodded.

"Then why aren't you helping me out!" Simon shouted. "Oh my god!" He fell back as JJ lost it again. "You're just sitting there...laughing at me! When you could make this so much easier for the both of us."

"I'm sorry." JJ whimpered in hysteria.

"Well then..." Simon suddenly turned serious as if almost disgusted by the fact JJ knew he was trying to kiss him and was just watching him suffer and fail miserably. JJ only stared and made a kissing gesture with lips which only put a twisted look on Simon's face.

"Did I just confuse you?"

"Yeah." Simon nodded.

Simon's heart was racing. They weren't in rush. There was nowhere to be but yet, Simon felt like there was a clock ticking down. As if each minute only lasted a second. He kept checking the time on his phone. He couldn't bare the nerves amy longer. If JJ isn't going to help him, Simon will do it himself.

"Fuck it." he hissed under his visible breath.

And so they kissed.

Only for three seconds.

But it left them smiling once again;
Their hearts over the moon.
