Rating: PG13
Length: Ficlet
Why I am reccing this: Okay, it's really, really, really hard for me to rec just ONE kiss. REALLY hard. But this is an amazing story and the kiss is both heartbreaking and YAY!

And for a second I forget to worry about the why and the how and the ten million other questions and doubts, and just open up and let it all in, open myself to him. Because I can't not do it. He's not anything I've ever had the power to stop.

And I don't know who moves first, probably it's both of us, because it's a duet, it's always been a duet from day one, and he's got my face in his hands and his fingers are sliding around and smearing the wetness into my skin and his, and I'm doing the same all over his face, so that's okay.

His mouth meets mine but he doesn't kiss me so much as smash into me, and he's whispering, "It's so lonely, Ray, you have no idea--"

"I do," I say. My voice is raw, scraping against his lips. "I do, Christ, I do, but don't come down, okay, just don't, help me to get up there with you, I'll be there but you gotta show me how, all right? Because I used to know but I forgot--"

And then I can't talk anymore because he's kissing me for real now and his tongue is swooping low and tasting me, and I think about licking electricity and I'm pretty sure this is what it feels like.

"I'll help you," he tells me when he finally comes up for air. His fingers thread into my hair, pulling me close. "If you'll help me find a place to land."

And that's, man, that's-- "You trust me to find you a safe place? You trust me that much?"

He nods. "I trust you with everything."

I love how the subject lines go down the list and all say some variant on "F/K kisses," and then at the bottom there's mine and it's called "everyone cries when they're stabbed." Facepalm.
