Will leaned down and Daniel got higher on his knees, meeting Will in the middle—and this time there was something decidedly different about their kiss.

It wasn't urgent or hungry—not just a random collision of two wanting mouths. But it wasn’t pure sweetness, either.

As they came together this time, the kiss between them was steady—something well-considered and even that implied the two of them would have all the time in the world together. Something in the kiss seemed to be a promise of not only today but tomorrow, the next day...

When they broke for air, they stayed close, forehead to forehead. Daniel realized he'd looped his hands behind Will's neck and was holding on for dear life. Will's hands were in his hair, on his neck, slowly caressing every part within reach but keeping him close.

They met eyes. It felt like the first time.

Naked and alone together in Will's warm apartment, after knowing each other for years and sharing classrooms for months, after discussion paper topics and arguing over extra credit, it was as if in that moment the two of them were seeing each other for the first time.

Had Daniel felt that too?

He certainly seemed to.

It was as if something silent and monumental had shifted—not only between them but in the atmosphere, in the earth.

You're so turned on, you probably had a seizure, Will thought.

Will dropped his eyes and attempted to catch his breath, to quiet the desperate dance his heart was suddenly doing in his chest.

"Get on the bed," he said to Daniel, and the younger man obeyed immediately, lying back and looking to Will, waiting for further instructions. Will joined him, straddling him, kissing him, enjoying him as if it was their last minute together. He broke after a moment, turning to his bedside table and fumbling through the contents of a drawer for a moment before he found lube and a package of condoms. He tore one off and then sat back on his heels, holding it up between them.

"Is this still something you want?" Will asked, dropping the scene for a moment.

Daniel nodded. He didn't even hesitate.

"I can get us off just like this," Will offered, reaching down to stroke Daniel's hardness between them. Daniel moaned and arched up into Will's palm.

"No," Daniel said once Will stilled his hand. "I want you, Will."

Daniel pressed up to catch his mouth in a kiss—and then both of them were back where they had been a moment before, no longer teacher and student.

"I need you, daddy," Daniel said quietly when they broke.

His voice was gentle with an edge of desperation and it stoked something that Will could feel from the base of his belly to his balls. He groaned and kissed Daniel again.

Daniel had givenup on keeping track of what was going on as Will kissed him. He closed his eyes and let Will continue controlling their momentum. As they kissed, Will opened the bottle of lube and after a moment Daniel felt a hand snake between their bodies. With his free hand, Will hitched Daniel's hips up, finally breaking their kiss and pressing a slicked digit up against Daniel's entrance.

Daniel opened his eyes to find Will gazing at him, looking almost concerned—as if he needed permission yet again or some sort of reassurance that yes, this is what Daniel wanted.

Daniel couldn't think of anything he wanted more than Will in that moment. He smiled and nodded, urging Will on. Will pressed in and was met with little resistance. Daniel couldn't recall a time when he'd been more relaxed.

He'd been all cock-centered for the past few minutes, but as Will fingered him, the axis of Daniel's want shifted. He needed Will—his impossible, pierced cock, his hands on Daniel, his slick mouth, he needed all of it and certainly he needed it faster than this slow pace Will was setting.

"Please," Daniel breathed out. "More."

"I don't want to hurt you, baby."

"I know that, daddy," Daniel said. "You won't."

Will nodded. "OK. I trust you baby."

He withdrew and, after a moment, pressed in another finger. It did a little to quiet the fluttering need that had materialized inside of Daniel—but not enough. Daniel rocked his hips experimentally, trying to gain leverage, still wanting more.
