AN: Minor slash so if you don't like, don't read. Stephen King owns them. I just bow down to him and Rob Reiner. Will switch POVs.
This "one shot" has mutated into a series, which I FINALLY named!
Please no flames. Don't like slash, don't read, that simple.

-Eyeball's POV-
I took my sweet time going to the store. I know I spent more than a minute getting the orange juice, looking around at everything in the store, hoping I was giving Ace and Chris enough time to sort everything out.
They better be sorting everything out or I'll smash both their heads in.
-
-Chris' POV-
When I walked into the living room my knees nearly gave out. Ace stood in front of the couch; his shirt gone and where it'd gone to I didn't care. He just stood there, a self-satisfied smirk on his face as he looked over at me. I didn't meet his eyes though, I was too busy looking him over from head to toe and reminding myself not to drool at the sight.
I'd told myself not to get into any situations that would make things more complicated but once again I'd spoken before thinking about it and for once I was thankful for it.
"You coming over here or not?" Ace asked, the smirk never leaving his face. There was confidence radiating off of him, I could practically feel it from where I stood but there was the smallest hint of doubt, something so rare in his voice that you had to be deaf not to pick it up when it happened.
I watched as he casually lounged on the couch, his eyes never leaving me. I swallowed hard and had the strongest urge to pinch myself to verify that I wasn't dreaming.
Then a horrible thought crossed my mind. What if this was just a joke? What if he was doing this just to see how far I'd go? I closed my eyes and begged those thoughts to go away, a small noise of terror escaping my throat before I could stop it.
Why would he want me anyway? Compared to Ace I was a scrawny little kid who wasn't worth shit. I was inexperienced and hell we used to hate each other, there was no way in hell he truly wanted me.
I was about to open my eyes and tell Ace off for leading me on when I felt his arms come around my shoulder and pull me closer to him.
Immediately I relaxed, savoring the feeling of being in his arms. Nothing in my life ever felt this good. I wanted for him to truly want me so badly it hurt. It made my stomach knot up and my head spin. I leaned into him more as I waited for him to break the silence, not trusting myself to do it.
-
-Ace's POV-
When Chris clamped his eyes shut I began to worry. Maybe he was telling himself that he could do better or that being the way we were was wrong. But then I heard it. The smallest noise I've ever heard him make. It was fear. What of, I didn't know and didn't care, I just wanted to be there for him.
In an instant my thoughts of seduction were lost as I stood and walked over to him. Without thinking I threw my arms around him and pulled him close. I relaxed a little as he leaned into me. A few moments passed in silence before I spoke up.
"You okay?" I asked. How lame was that? It seemed to be enough for Chris though.
"Yeah."
"What happened?" I asked, concern dripping from my words. I really was worried and I hoped he didn't regret coming out or becoming more or less friends with me.
"Is this all a joke or is it real?" he asked.
"What are you talking about? Is what a-" Then I stopped. He thought I was playing with him. Testing him. I frowned, realizing I hadn't done enough to erase my past reputation from his memory.
"This isn't a joke Chris. I do want you, if you aren't ready or don't want me that's fine, but you asked and I can't explain it, I can only show it. Take your pick Chris, it's your decision."
-
-Chris' POV-
MY DECISION? How can he make it my decision?! I can't choose. Should I risk it all for Ace Merrill, the resident bad boy and my brothers best friend? Or should I step back and run away from it all and pretend I'm straight. A role Ace and Eyeball played very well for the public.
After this point though I wouldn't hide the truth from the guys anymore and I wouldn't want Ace to pretend either. I couldn't ask him to come out to the entire town though and I know he wouldn't ask me either. I could only hope he wouldn't shove me in the background when we were in public and at least act friendly to me.
When I opened my eyes Ace was looking down at me, waiting for some indication as to what I wanted. I looked up at him, thinking everything over. I couldn't deny that I wanted him anyone could see that. He knew it too. I sighed and stared down at our bare feet before dragging my eyes up to him.
"I guess…" I began. I must have sounded sad or apologetic cause his face fell. "I guess there's a lot you have to show me if this is going to work," I said.
He started at me in what I guess was shock for a second before his smirk and confidence returned. In one quick motion Ace had me pinned to the nearest wall, every inch of him touching me as he stared down at me. I groaned once my back hit the wall and bit my lip when he let his weight rest on me more.
I think I made the right decision.
-
-Ace's POV-
As soon as he said that I wanted to have him right then and there but I knew I had to take my time. I watched as he groaned and bit my lip as he reacted to me pinning him to the wall, stuck between my body and the wood.
His eyes held mine and I could see that no matter how pleased he was with the decision he was still scared. Most likely he was scared of letting me down, appearing too much like a child, being too inexperienced.
Then it hit me. "Chris, tell me something," I began, dragging my thumb over his cheekbone.
"What?" he asked.
"Have you ever kissed someone before?"
He nodded.
"A girl?" I asked.
He nodded again.
"Let me tell you something," I said bringing my mouth closer to his. "Kissing a guy is a whole new experience."
I stayed where I was, seeing if he wanted the kiss and silently telling him to come take what he wanted. When he lifted his head a few centimeters higher and our lips brushed together that was all I needed before I pressed my lips to his and kissed him with whatever emotion I had in me.
He groaned and kissed back with more passion than I ever though possible out of a thirteen year old but then again he was a Chambers and if they had anything in their family, it was passion.
We stood there kissing for what felt like a second but I knew had to be minutes. When we finally pulled apart I smirked down at him, seeing the dazed look in his eyes.
"And that, Christopher," I said, dragging his name out. "Is only for starters."
He stared up at me, this look of awe on his face. I was trying to play it cool but inside I was scared as hell, right now everything was in his hands.
"Ace," he said one arm going up around my neck.
"Hm?"
"Can we do that again?"
I smiled.
-
-Chris' POV-
I was shaking a little when he first kissed me but soon I calmed down and enjoyed it. Before I knew what I was saying I asked him to kiss me again. I was so afraid that I'd done something wrong while we kissed, that I sucked at it or something, but when I asked for my second kiss and he smiled all my fears went away.
When he leaned down to kiss me I heard Eyeball pull up. As soon as our lips touched I heard Eyeball's door slam but neither of us cared. We kept kissing, long after Eyeball had walked in and started cheering.
-
-Eyeball's POV-
When I walked in the house the first thing I saw was Ace pinning my baby brother to the wall and without thinking I started cheering.
"Thank God!" I yelled. They didn't pull away. I began to laugh at how wrapped up they were in each other. I looked at them a moment longer, smiling to myself at how happy they both looked.
Maybe they'd help each other learn to love before they self-destructed.
AN: So what'd you think? I'm really bad at writing kissing scenes so any tips would be welcome.
