This is what happens when my sister and I watch RENT together: Complete and utter nonsense.
I own nothing.
I've never been the type to do things on an impulse so of course it was unexpected - to everyone - when I puckered up and planted one on my roommate and long-time friend, Roger Davis. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking at the time. But maybe it had something to do with the fact that Collins had come over with his greetings and bountiful feasts and we were all drinking. Well that probably wasn't the entirety of the issue, but I'd rather not get into all the details anyhow.
All I knew was that I was slightly tipsy and Roger was being his Roger-self and Collins was joking around like he always did. And when I say Roger-self I don't mean he was all angsty and brooding. He's not so keen on that anymore. Not since he's been dating Mimi I guess. Whatever. Long story short I felt this curious urge to kiss him. So I did. Right in front of Collins and everything.
It made absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I went with it. And apparently so did he. There I was bringing my lips to my best friend's and he embraced the idea. Pulling me closer as he deepened the kiss. Maybe it was the fact that I'd put on chapstick a few moments before. Didn't wanna have dry lips, you know? And yes, if you must know, I have cherry flavored chapstick. Don't judge me. That was probably a factor though. He liked the taste and so kept the charade up; the two of us with our lips locked and Collins looking amused by it all.
And I felt the sudden urge to sing... What the fuck? Are we living in some kind of parallel universe where people sing out their lives like complete shmucks? Just go with the flow, Cohen.
This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on.
I'm curious for you, caught my attention.
I kissed Roger and he liked it,
The taste of my cherry chapstick
I kissed Roger and he liked it,
I hope Mimi doesn't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean we're in love tonight.
I kissed Roger and I liked it. (I liked it)
Well, I'm still in love with Maureen, it doesn't matter.
He's my experimental game, just human nature.
It's not what good friends do, not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused, hard to obey.

I kissed Roger and he liked it,
I hope Mimi doesn't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean we're in love tonight.

That boy he is so magical,
Big hands, full lips, so kissable.
Hard to resist, so touchable.
Too good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent.

Throughout the entire performance Roger and Collins stayed strangely silent, listening to my song. At the end they both clapped and laughed just as Mimi slid the loft door open and stared at us all incredulously. "Did I hear singing? What's going on?" Her brows furrowed together as she looked to each of us for an answer. I wonder if she'd ever know that I kissed Roger... and that he liked it. Probably. Hope she doesn't mind.
I know this is completely stupid and pointless, but I had to get it out and written down somewhere. Review if you want.
