"What's wrong," asked Kevin looking steadily into his eyes with concern. "Nothing, I was just thinking of this great thing that we have going. I don't want it to end. But you know that there will be hard times. You know that there will be fights, quarrels, and," his expressionless face turned cheery for a moment as he said," and.. all that fun stuff but it will all eventually end. Now I may sound like an old man thinking about the end of his life and I know I shouldn't be concerned with this because we will have plenty of good times together but I just cant shake the feeling of knowing this." It was a moving speech and on top of that, it was true. He knew that also, but didn't take the time and emotion to think about. "But that time is a long way away, Aaron. It will not come any time in the near future. You have to put those thought to rest and dwell on the present. Like this," with that he walked to Aaron, bent forward as Aaron was on a stool and locked lips once again with his lover. It was an intense kiss. Kevin worked his tongue all over Aaron's mouth, tasting every morsel and area of his partner's luscious mouth. As he broke the kiss, he stopped only a few inches from his face and locked his eyes to Aaron's eyes. They were sparking with happiness. He just stood there looking into Aaron's eyes, tracing everywhere on his face, taking in the beauty. "Trust me, Aaron; we will never end. Our bond will last to wherever we go after death." "I believe you. I believe you with all my heart. Something spoken with such power, lust and pure knowing must be true." "Okay man, don't get all scientific on me. Lets just have our snack and enjoy the time we have together." "Agreed," said Aaron with a smile. So they got out some bread, ham and American cheese and made a couple sandwiches. But it wasn't the food that was the enjoyable part, it was the fact they were together. Doing things together and for each other. It was as if they were an old married couple and it was just another routine. Kevin would slip out two pieces of bread from the bag, passing them to Aaron who would add the ingredients, then moving it back to Kevin who would add what additional toppings he wanted on it. When they finished preparing their food they walked back into the living room and sat on the big couch in front of the TV. They didn't even turn it on though, they both sat at the same time facing each other, eating hungrily, staring into each other's eyes. "Want to go to the park," asked Aaron. "Sure, that would be fun. We could look at all the lovely birds, collect leaves, and make out passionately in front of old people playing chess," replied Kevin with a laugh. They both fell back into the couch and laughed. It was a good stress reliever and they would both do it many times throughout their lifetime. So they went to the park. It took them 20 minutes to walk there. It was 6 blocks away, but they got there. Though their feet were hurting, they got there. Aaron was the first to plunk down on the nearest bench they came across. Kevin followed suit and they both let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Whoo. That's one thing I always hated," said Kevin. "What?" asked Aaron playfully. "Walking! Walking, walking, running, jogging, sprinting. Anything having to do with using your legs," said Kevin in an almost angry tone, "this is why we invented cars, planes, trains, and all that to help us get to where we need to go faster and without using our own strength!" "Calm down, calm down. We're here aren't we. And we are going to have a good time," said Aaron with a wink. Kevin hadn't thought about what they would do once they got there. He was so bent on keeping his legs moving one in front of the other the whole way there that he wasn't really thinking too clearly. "Oh we are, are we? What will we do," said Kevin, matching Aaron's playful tone. "Oh I don't know, I thought that kissing scene in front of the old people sounded pretty good." They didn't laugh this time though. Kevin just kept looking at Aaron's eyes. They shone with the essence of a young boy. "Sounds good to me," replied Kevin with a straight face. Aaron just sat there and smiled. After they were rested up and regained their energy they both set out on a trail through the park. It was a rather large park, that went at least 5 miles on with trails through the town's lake. They came across a bridge after they had been walking-- this time at their own pace taking frequent bench breaks-- and stopped in the middle to admire the small river below. "It must run into one of the lake's openings," remarked Kevin. "Maybe." Then suddenly Aaron felt a warm tingling in his lips and his eyes were staring straight into Kevin's. After a few seconds, he broke the kiss as quickly as he started it and began trotting across the bridge like nothing happened. He shouted out to Aaron when he got 3/4 of the way across, who was still standing in the center, looking straight ahead, "Come on, you'll get plenty more later." They both laughed as they playfully ran through the trails, pushing each other, hugging, kissing and just plain ol' having a good time. They left before sunset, so they could both get home before dinner. When they met the parting crossroads, they said goodbye and sneaked in a little kiss. That day had been a glorious one and there were to be many to come to them.
