Touch Me - Bob Marley
They were alone for what felt like the first time. It seemed to both men that it had been a lifetime since they had a fight, which astounded them. Now they were walking down the halls of IAB, talking about the film that they went to see together last weekend. Then, for no reason in particular, they stopped.
Standing alone in the halls, they faced one another. Serene smiles crossed their lips as they looked at each other with a new sense of understanding and friendship. Horatio had given Rick this look a few times before, the younger man hardly believing that it took him until now to learn what it was. He looked long into heavenly blue eyes before backing the redhead up against the wall.
Rick's eyes were closed tightly when he took Horatio's face in his hands and kissed him for the first time. But there was no resistance in the older man, just a quiet and willing acceptance. Relaxing, the brunette moved his hands to Horatio's shoulders. Their lips remained locked for a long moment before they broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry," Rick whispered, his hands and voice trembling. "I don't know what came over me".
"Don't let go".
