Since the 24th of July is the anniversary of Chris and Hudson's first kiss, I thought that I would upload my one-shot of what happened afterwards…

Continuation of the first kiss

"You know, in my mind, I was the one who was gonna have to initiate that"

Chris chuckled, partly because of what Hudson had said, but mainly because of how cute he sounded as he said it. Chris passed him the salad bowls.

"Well, we can workshop that around the Barbie, hmm?"

Hudson grinned- he liked the sound of that! He felt Chris smack his hip gently to prompt him to move into the garden and was slightly disappointed that he didn't slap him somewhere else…

Hudson headed into the garden, sharing a glance with Chris. They both smiled and as Hudson walked out, Chris nodded to himself before following.


Hudson stopped as though he had been shot as soon as he saw the garden. He had never seen it before though he had glanced out of the kitchen window earlier that day. He took in the huge yard with finely cut grass, a beautiful veggie patch and, most importantly, a hot tub. Hudson's heart did a summersault. It wasn't because he liked water- he spent enough time in it every day- but he would soon get the opportunity to see Chris with his kit off. Hudson shook his head, 'slow down' he thought to himself, 'not today'.

Chris noticed Hudson was just standing, gazing at the garden. He followed Hudson's line of sight and realised that he was staring at the hot tub. Chris grinned, thinking exactly the same as Hudson was, though he obviously didn't know it.

Hudson sensed that someone was behind him, so he spun around then blushed. He hurried over to the table and put the salad bowls down whilst Chris turned on the BBQ.

"This is a nice garden" Hudson said casually, whilst mentally cringing at his choice of conversation

"Thanks. It's Sheila's pride and joy"

Hudson had never met Sheila, though he knew that she was Kyle's gran.

"Why is it so big? I thought there were only four of you living here"

"Well there are but with Sheila's gardening and Kyle's dog, it helps to have the space"

Hudson nodded, trying to come up with a better topic of conversation. Luckily Chris got there first.

"Now, food time!" Chris said gleefully, rubbing his hands together

"Wait" Hudson stopped him, "I thought you were on dinner duty. Where is everyone else?"

Chris looked sheepish, "yeah, actually I just said that as an excuse to use the food that you brought over. I made sure everyone else was out tonight"

Hudson grinned to himself happily.

"Wow" Hudson murmured, staring at Chris who had just finished wolfing down his burger; this was after consuming two hot-dogs as well.

"What?" Chris asked, mouth still full

Hudson sighed, "how it is possible that someone who eats like a horse can look that… well, I'll use the same term you used on our first date: 'fit'?"

Chris blushed, "I'm not"

Hudson grinned smugly, "You're cute when you blush"

"I'm not blushing" Chris objected, looking away

"You can't exactly deny it when you look like this tomato" Hudson said, picking out a tomato from the salad bowl and holding it in his fingers. Chris grinned and opened his mouth then pointed to it. Hudson squinted one eye and took aim.

He threw it straight into Chris' mouth and he caught it between his teeth then gulped it down. They stood up and hi-fived each other, triumphantly.

"Oh great" Chris groaned

Hudson blinked, startled. He had just been staring at Chris for the last few moments and had been busy fantasizing about… well, you know. He looked around, then realised what Chris was annoyed about: the rain had begun plummeting down. Chris stood up

"Could you take the plates and stuff in while I put the Barbie away?" Chris asked

"Sure"

Hudson took the plates into the kitchen and placed them into the washing up bowl. He realised where he was standing and had an idea. Hudson ran out of the back door and almost collided with Chris, who looked surprised and confused to see him. Hudson grinned, grabbed Chris' jacket and pulled him towards him.

As soon as their lips met there was nothing stopping them, not even the heavy downpour. Hudson grazed his hands past Chris' cheeks, leaving his left one there whilst the right one moved to the back of his neck and played with his soft hair, which was getting wetter by the second. Chris meanwhile wrapped his arms around Hudson's waist and pulled him closer. They kissed slowly, sensually, enjoying the romantic sensation of making out in the rain.

Chris thought that it was probably the most romantic (and the hottest) thing that he had ever done, until he realised that both he and Hudson were shaking, partly with adrenaline and excitement, but mainly because it was cold and wet. If they stayed out here much longer they would probably catch pneumonia. Yeah, that wasn't quite so romantic. Chris reluctantly broke the kiss and saw the disappointment in Hudson's eyes immediately, but resisted the urge to resume the snog. Instead he whispered, "Let's continue this inside"

Hudson nodded, biting his lip. Holding hands, they moved from the garden, through the utility to room to the kitchen, not taking their eyes off each other for a second. As soon as they were in the kitchen they resumed their pashing session, more passionate than before. Hudson pushed Chris against the counter roughly, and they removed each other's damp jackets. When Chris felt Hudson's hands work their way down his body past his waist, Chris grabbed them and pushed him away slightly.

"What's wrong?" Hudson asked, eyes wide with worry

"I can't" Chris said, shaking his head

"You mean, you don't want to?-"

"No, of course I want to. I'm all… geared up" Chris paused, referring to the bulge in his jeans, "It's just that-"

"-It's too soon. I get it"

"Sorry" he apologised, sheepishly

"No, it's good one of us is thinking sensibly"

"Well, I mean we just had out first kiss right here not 30 minutes ago, it's just a bit soon for us to be, you know…"

"Yeah, we probably should wait for a bit" Hudson agreed, "what about tomorrow?" he joked and Chris laughed

"Wow, I never thought I'd be my own cockblock" Chris scoffed

Hudson laughed and pulled him in for another kiss. They both realised that it was probably a good thing that nobody else was around that evening.
