Josh’s eyes that were focused out the window on the sky moved back to Akira. He noticed he was thinking, momentarily he wondered if he should ask, or speak, but he didn’t. Instead he allowed himself to look into his green eyes and what Akira did next astounded him.
Just as Akira went on the tips his toes, Josh closed his eyes for just a second, kissing very chastely back. When he opened his eyes, Josh saw the other males eyes downcast. Josh was disappointed that he couldn’t look into his eyes after such a special moment between them.
Putting his hand to Akira’s chin, Josh slowly lifted it up, looking into his green eyes and smiling as he whispered. “Thank you Akira….that meant a lot to me.” he whispered, moving the hand on his face to gently trail to his neck. “You mean a lot to me.” He whispered under his breath with a soft smile. “Are you tired at all?” Josh then asked as his thumb brushed up against Akira’s cheek.
