Ch. 3 Your Kiss Might Kill Me
He closed his eyes as the warm water awakened every sensation in his body. Okay Joel think of something other than Tony. Think of Audrey and what we did earlier. Joel smiled to himself thinking of him and Audrey. He remembered everything and was getting turned on. He smiled to himself and thought he heard the door open but pushed it away thinking more. He was glad he had a partner like Audrey- she was the one who started their weird little arrangement. He heard something and opened his eyes. He brushed the side of the curtain open and looked at a peeing Tony. Joel jumped and tried to hide his body behind the curtain as he nervously smiled. Tony nodded, “Sorry, you guys really should get another bathroom. I had to pee like your mom.”
Joel shook his head and went back to taking a shower. This time when he closed his eyes there was only one picture in his mind, Tony. He pictured Tony’s sweaty body next to his and he didn’t try and stop the feelings. He was so turned on and hoped he could get his wish. He laughed and turned the water off. He wiped his eyes and reached out for a towel. Not finding one, he peered around the corner of the curtain.
And there sat Tony on the countertop. Joel coughed, “Umm, can you toss me that towel?” Tony smiled and handed it to him. Joel sank back behind the curtain and wrapped the towel around his excited waist- hoping that the towel would hide it. He repositioned the towel and held his hand over the slight lump. He took a breath and stepped out of the shower. Tony smiled and Joel smiled back. Joel went to the mirror and peered at his face- feeling that familiar emptiness.
He shook his head as Tony smiled, “You look sexy.” Joel stopped and looked at Tony, “Huh?” Tony laughed, “Just kidding.” Joel smiled nervously and started shaving. Tony just sat there staring at him. Joel looked over at Tony after a silent minute, “Yeah?” Tony shook his head, “Nothing.” Tony looked down and played with the hem of his shirt. He looked back up, “So, how have you been?” Joel looked down at the sink, “Okay, I guess.” He looked back up at Tony and Tony nodded. Joel shaved the side of his face and Tony laughed, “Gotten laid lately.” Joel shook his head and not thinking Tony could hear mumbled way under his breath, “Yeah this morning.” Tony laughed, “Did you just say this morning?” Joel blushed and nervously laughed nodding his head. Tony laughed, “So was it any good?” Joel stopped and put his hand down, sending Tony a questioning look. When Tony didn’t drop it Joel shook his head and said quietly, “Yeah, just not what I really wanted.” Tony smiled and asked, “What did you want then?” Joel shook his head you dumbass, “I dunno,” and went back to shaving.
Tony looked down and Joel looked back over, why does he have to do that cute little mouth/eyebrow thing? Uhh, Tony! Tony looked back up and caught Joel’s eyes. Joel shook his head and fake smiled, “So how are you and Benj?” Tony nodded, “Good.” Joel nodded, “How was last night- wait I don’t wanna know about my brother’s sex-life.” Tony laughed and playfully hit Joel’s arm, “Nah- I guess you could say it wasn’t what I wanted either,” he said lowering his voice for the last part, and quietly closing the door. Joel looked over at Tony- who was serious. They stared at each other for a second before Joel took a shaky breath. “What did you want?” he whispered dropping the razor in the sink.
In one quick movement, Tony leaned forward and kissed Joel. At first Joel was surprised and raised his hand to Tony’s chest about to push him away. Joel closed his eyes as he felt the smooth metal of Tony’s lip ring and his soft lips. Tony reached up and put his hand behind Joel’s neck, running his hand through his damp hair. Tony ran his tongue lightly over Joel’s plump bottom lip and Joel opened his mouth slightly. He pushed his tongue out to touch Tony’s and into his mouth. Tony sucked on his tongue and kissed him hard.
They heard the front door open and Benji yell, “We’re back.” Tony pulled back and reached for the doorknob. He looked at Joel and Joel grabbed his shirt pulling him back to him. He reached up and wiped the shaving cream off Tony’s face as Tony stepped out the door. Joel heard Tony say, “Good, I’m hungry.” Joel turned around and shut the door. He leaned up against the door and put his head back. He reached his hand up to his mouth and grinned Tony kissed me! Joel jumped around and couldn’t stop grinning.
