Summary
Boris wanted Theo. He wanted him so much he couldn’t help it, but it wouldn’t matter. Because life would shun them, shun Theo who just wanted a perfect life. Boris wanted to cry with Theo, but he wanted to seem like the stronger one, so he couldn’t do anything about their relationship. No matter how hard he wanted to shake Theo so hard to get it into his mind that he wanted him bad.
Theo wouldn’t ever remember doing this. He wouldn’t remember the kiss, he wouldn’t remember his sobbing.
They just went back to Theo’s house and never brought it up again. But Boris would remember. He always remembered when they would kiss or do it. Maybe that was how it would be for the rest of their time here in Vegas. Until Theo goes back to New York, finds a wife and kids, forget about Boris, and it wouldn’t matter if he was happy or not. He would still have a normal life, even if a part of him still yearned for Boris.
Even, if also a part of Boris also yearned for Theo.
He would forget this, and it would mean nothing.
— or 5 times they kissed and Theo forgot and the one time he remembered

Summary
“I remember– we kissed once.” I don’t even get to catch my words as they spill out of my mouth with no control.
Boris froze, then a sudden heat coats his face. He almost looks as red as a tomato. Then he just as bashfully ducks his head down from my stare. Just out right avoiding my stare, then hiding his face in his hands. Almost like he was trying to cool his face down.
“What do you mean? We’ve kissed more times than you remember.” Boris’s voice comes out muffled from where he was covering his face with his hands. Now it was my turn to be equally embarrassed by this information. So my hypothesis was right then. We had kissed more than two times, as evident from the fact I always somehow knew what his lips felt like on mine, and how familiar it is.
