Chapter Text
They’re kissing on Evan’s bed, soft lips and warmth, bodies pressed together. Evan pulls back slowly, his forehead resting against Jared’s as they both catch their breath in synchronization. Jared’s hand rests on the base of Evan’s head, fingertips tracing over the edge of his hairline.
“I feel like I can’t breathe,” Evan whispers against his boyfriend’s lips, a quiet murmur.
Jared stalls, trying to move up onto his elbows, his brow furrowed, “Are you okay? Do you-”
“No, no,” Evan scrambles to clarify, pressing a placating hand on Jared’s chest. “It’s a good kind of-of breathless. You-”
“I swear to God, if you say I take your breath away, I’m gonna get up and walk out of this room right now.”
Evan inhales, chuckling, and presses his nose against Jared’s. He feels good, he feels safe. Jared laughs too, easing into the bed for a moment, before moving up to kiss his boyfriend again. Pressing into the kiss, Evan begins to move against Jared, rhythmically.
The older nips at Evan’s bottom lip lightly, pulling away, and presses a hand into Evan’s chest. “If you keep doing that,” Jared whispers into the curve of Evan’s ear, “this will go in a completely different direction, and I think your mom is gonna be home soon.”
Evan rolls off of Jared and onto his side, pressing his face into the crook of Jared’s neck, trying to hide the sudden flush of blood to his cheeks. “Right.”
Chuckling, Jared turns his head, “I guess you got your breath back, then?”
Tracing his fingers up Jared’s arm, Evan shakes his head slowly, glancing up to meet the other’s eyes. “We’ll see.”
They both smile and relax into each other’s warmth.
