Two Player Game

~Chapter Seventy~

One night, they're cuddling. They're the only ones in the dorm and will be for awhile.

"........Hey Connor."

"Hm?"

"Have you ever kissed a girl?"

"......... I've never wanted to. Soon as I wanted to kiss people it was boys, yknow?"

"........sort of? It doesn't really help that I'm Pan."

"Yeah." he stares at the ceiling. "... Have you ever kissed anyone that wasn't Evan?"

"I did once. In the 5th grade. But it was stupid and wasn't real."

".... Have you ever done... Other stuff with people who weren't Evan?"

"No...... have you?"

"Few times. I DID leave for two years. You would not believe what sorts of things people do to buy Meth in California rehab centers..."

"I don't think I wanna know druggie." Conner chuckles.

"... Why do you ask? About kissing girls I mean."

"I was just wondering. Since you're gay and all."

"Well, nice to know you think about me I guess."

"Yeah........" He would like to kiss him. Just once. Conner's cheeks are a light pink. He's debating kissing Jared once, just to see what it's like. Jared turns to face Connor, face flustered. Conner blushes harder to see Jared like that.

"What?"

"Well.. I mean- I, uh," he's trying. Conner just flushes deeper.

"Jared. Just say what's on your mind."

"Okay okay, um, would you want to... k-kiss me? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to-" Conner just leans in and shuts Jared up with his own lips. Conner's are soft, lightly vanilla flavored from his chapstick. Jared's are more rough, being chapped. Jared's eyes flutter shut as he kisses back.

"You have any idea - how long I've wanted to do that?"

"Oh I know..... what to do it again?"

"Yes. Desperately." Jared crushes their lips together again and pulls Connor closer. Conner allows himself to be flush against Jared, hands in his hair. Jared moves to put his leg on the other side of Connor, leaning back down to kiss him again. Conner moves his hands to Jared's sides, tracing a line down them to his soft hips. Jared tangles his hands in Connors S O F T hair. Conner rubs his thumbs over Jared's hips.

"You're so soft..."

"And squishy," he grins.

"Very. It's... Dare I say... Adorable ?" Jared chuckles and kisses him again, trailing down his jaw and his neck.

"God... Evan would be so jealous."

"That's why he's not gonna know. Don't ask don't tell."

"And when one of us decides we should do this at some point when Evan is in town and he catches us?"

"That'll be future us' problem."

"Jared, you asshole."

"You got a better plan?"

"... No..."

"See?" He grins down at him.

"You're still an ass. Take your glasses off before we crush them." He does and sets them on the night stand next to his bed.

"Now get your goddamn face over here. I wanna kiss you till you can't think straight." Jared dives in to connect their lips again. Conner's hands find their way to Jared's back, then down to his ass. S o f t...
