   Summary

   One night, Boris asks Theo if he has ever kissed before- Theo definitely has not, and freaks out at the idea of it. Always scared to fuck up, his anxiety is absolutely through the roof about it. Besides, he hasn't really met a girl who he really wanted to kiss anyway. After confessing this, Boris has a proposal: they're best friends, and Boris has had a lot of practice. He should totally teach his best friend how to make out. After all, isn’t that what friends are for?
