Stupidly, Ryan felt like a sixth grader now too as his heartbeat quickened and he felt a little like some silly teenager in a bad romance novel kissing for the first time. It was such a frivolous feeling that he laughed again, not unhappily though because the truth was he was ridiculously happy over the unusual situation. It would be complicated. It might even blow up in their face later down the road; but for now, Ryan was glad for what was happening.

Kevin didn't hesitate on the third kiss between them. He matched Esposito for force and squirmed closer to the warm body of his partner, daringly wrapping an arm around Espo's waist and pulling him closer.
