"so, can I kiss you?"

Bennett nodded.

Slowly, their lips met in a sweet, innocent kiss.

The kiss, though short lived and barely there emitted emotion.

It made Bennett's heart do cartwheels.

He liked it.

Perhaps a bit too much.

But he liked it so much that though there was the fear and even disgust,

The kiss made Bennett accept himself a bit more.

When the kiss ended and the boys were left to stand in each other's arms,

It was like Bennett felt the lock on the outside of his prison fall to the ground.

Akira was the key.
