đł (ill take up that kissing offer with Edwin, if you cool with that)
Itâs a terribly cold evening when Edwin leans against the old Camry with Liam at his side. He isnât sure how he got there, or how they had gotten so close together like this. It couldâve been the icy asphalt road, or maybe something else. Either way, something happened.
His lips are soft against the other boyâs as he rests an arm near his head on the side of the car. His eyes are wide with surprise and fear as he pulls away, he backs up into the gas tank behind him before chuckling nervously. Heâs always nervous so this isnât anything new but, thereâs something else behind those jittery hands of his that fly up in defense.
âS-Sorry! I-I didnât mean to do that. The road was just really slippery and I didnât think youâd move! Uh.. sorryâ, he apologizes again, gaze casted to the side for a second in deep thought.
When he resurfaces, he looks ashamed. His features seem to redden and he covers his mouth with a few shy, timid fingers. He doesnât know what else to say, heâs afraid that his own thoughts might betray him.
Liam stood next the Edwin looking around at the blackened landscape, the only source of light luminating from the petrol station. He was unsure how they both arrived here, but wasnât going to question it further.
He was taken by surprise as Edwinâs lips rested upon his, Liam didnât resist his sudden move but instead decided to kiss him back. As the timid man backed up, with a nervous look on his face. Liam opened his eyes again and looked over at the flustered Edwin.
âno need to apologiseâŠalthough it was sudden and accidental, your a pretty decent kisser y'know?â Liam had a warm look in his eyes and his voice sounded calm and relaxed, although his face was tinted a light red.
He let out a light chuckle as he watched Edwinâs timid gestures and movements, though Liam stayed where he was, still leaning on the side of the car.
He looked like he couldâve choked at those words, and he probably wouldâve too. Edwin laughs awkwardly and straightens himself up a bit.
âYou donât mean thatâ, he says with an aloof grin.
The only reason Liam mightâve even said that is because of how much heâs been practicing. Not with anyone, but with the crook of his elbow. It was Senior prom and there was this person that Edwin has been looking forward to asking out. It was a bold move by far, even when Edith doubted heâd have the balls to go and talk to her. He had this dumb look on his face, one filled with hope and courage, how sad it was when she declined him. Her boyfriend had shown up at the little meeting place too. What probably sucked the most was the part about getting shoved into the garbage can.
Currently, he was scratching the back of his neck. His eyes were curious as he stares at Liam; wondering if his words were true on the behalf of how warm his gaze was. It made Edwin feel fuzzy at the cheek and queer in the chest.
âJust to be sure thoughâŠâ
âDo.. you.. want to do that again?â, he asks anxiously.
âŠ
After a long pause, he coughs into his fist before chuckling again.
âJust kidding..! Haha sorry if that was weird, I can drive us home if you wantâ
Liam adjusted his leaning position to be more comfortable, he looked over Edwin as he laughed awkwardly, his expression softened. âI mean what I say, trust me I know from experienceâ
Liamâs had his fair share of relationships in his life, before all of this, it was a mix of good and loving relationships, along with some not so good and horrid relationships.
Liam stopped leaning against the car to stand upright, leaning his weight from foot to foot. He looked somewhat surprised; while keeping the warm look in his eyes; when Edwin asked his question.
âIâm up for round two, if you are, Edwinâ his voice still sounded relaxed but with a hint of flirting, moving his hair out of his face.
âOh manâ, he sounds surprised himself.
âOkayâ, he flushes as he starts to get a little closer to Liam.
Edwinâs hands gingerly reach out to cup Liamâs face as he starts to close the gap between himself and the other boy. His lips ghost over Liamâs and he closes his eyes before he kisses him. Itâs a little more curious this time, not as short as the last one. Itâs still awkward nevertheless and you could feel his lips perk up into a smile as he pulls back before going back in.
When heâs felt that itâs been long enough, Edwin moves his hands and steps back.
âThereâ, he feels a little proud about it now that it was on purpose this time
As Edwin came closer for round two, Liam placed an arm around his back and pulled him in.
Liam was curious the second time around as well, definitely more passionate than the first. He kept a strong but gentle hold on Edwinâs waist during the whole thing, he felt the others lips perk into a smile as he took a small breath while Liam let out a light chuckle.
Once Edwin began to back up once he was done, Liam let go of the boys waist and lips. He opened his eyes and looked back over at him, the same relaxed but warm look in his eyes.
âI can definitely say for certain your a great kisser this time aroundâ Liam spoke, letting out a soft chuckle as it was more obvious now that his face was blushed and had a warm smile on his face.
His cheeks tint a new shade of red as he felt the other hold him steady from the last bout of kissing. Maybe he wasnât lying about the whole âbeing a great kisser thingâ, not that he had been hoping that he was lying to begin with. All he can say now is, heâs got something to tell his sister when he got home this evening. The bookworm laughs breathlessly for a second before eyeing Liam for a second.Â
âYouâre.. not too bad yourselfâ, he says before going to open the door to his car.
