Chapter Six - Sweet Kisses
The boys sit down on the grass, their backs against the tree, facing away from the house. They talk about nothing in particular, just enjoying each other's company, the sun and the cake.
"This is really good, by the way." Jeff comments, holding up on of his last bites.
Nick nods, setting his plate aside, having finished first. "I know. My mom goes to this amazing bakery to get all her cakes. I can't get enough of it. I love it."
Jeff looks down at his plate, and seeing he has two more bites, he takes one of them on his fork and holds it up. "Here."
Nick blushes and looks at Jeff crazily. "What? No, I couldn't eat your cake…"
"Don't think I didn't notice how you gave me the bigger slice, Nick. Now come on, open up." He prods, inching the fork closer.
Nick turns bright red, but opens his mouth anyway, letting Jeff feed him the sweet tasting pastry. Both boys keep eye contact the whole time, Jeff watching Nick curiously and lovingly, and Nick staring back with an adoring and happy look in his eyes.
Jeff pulls the fork out slowly, and Nick keeps his eyes on Jeff's as he chews and swallows. He breaks it for a second, and looks down at their laps, taking the fork from Jeff's hand and lifting the other piece to Jeff's lips, repeating the same action.
After Jeff swallows, he slowly leans forward, and catches Nick's lips in his own.
Nick kisses back slowly, keeping Jeff from getting too into it, in case they were interupted. He feels a hand on his thigh, and leans closer, lifting his chin to kiss him better.
Jeff tasted like cake, sweet and sugary with a hint of vanilla and cream. Nick was sure he tasted the same. He sighs.
All too soon, they had to separate for the pesky need of oxygen. Nick keeps his eyes closed, leaning his forehead against Jeff's, just breathing.
Jeff kisses the top of Nick's cheek, and then leans away, leaving Nick feeling cold despite the warm sun beaming down on them. He compensates by letting his head fall onto Jeff's shoulder and closing his eyes.
