Should have gone for the Whitman's Sampler

[theyoungdetective]

The best thing about Valentine's Day when you're single is discounted chocolate the next day. Or, in some cases, discounted chocolate the day of to help reduce stock and give a hand to the poor schmoes who have to buy gifts for their sweethearts last minute.

A little chocolate never hurt anyone, after all. Unless it's part of a villainous plot, but Tim doubts the Lobos would think poisoning gourmet chocolates and opening a pop up storefront had any benefit to their agendas.

So, naturally, he bought a small box to enjoy for himself. He already went through a couple of heavenly pieces of dark chocolate, spat out one with a sticky sweet cherry that was doused in liquor, and washes down a piece with salted caramel with the last of his water bottle as he pulls out his phone to check when the show at Phoenix was supposed to start when he's bumped into on the street.

"Hey, watch it, pal!" the stranger gripes before moving on. He misses how Tim wobbles after that.

When did his head start spinning like that? And why was his skin feeling so hot and... sensitive.

"Woah. I think I need a seat..." he mutters to himself before bumping into another unsuspecting body.

Billy had grabbed two boxes of chocolates to bring to Steph for valentine's Day and had been so hungry he had actually eaten a few of them for himself. He was beginning to think that they had been bad or something because he was feeling sort of... dizzy. Or maybe it was just really warm. Whatever it was he feeling really weird.

Weird enough that he didn't notice the other kid until he bumped into Billy. Reaching out a hand to steady both of them Billy put it on the guy's shoulder. Which was really, really muscular.

"It's okay," Billy reassured him before realizing it was Tim. Had Tim always had such blue eyes? "Hey Tim. I, um, I wasn't. Uh. I wasn't watching where I was going."

[theyoungdetective]

Tim looks up and– Oh. Wow. Tim had acknowledge that Billy was a good looking guy before, but... Wow.

Oh god, and Billy is staring back and he feels more heat creeping up his face and he feels a bit small and awkward. More small and awkward than usual, at least.

"H-hey. It's... I wasn't either."

This is terrible. He needs that seat.

"Actually kinda feeling warm for February."

Tim wobbles a bit again and steadies himself by grabbing on to Billy's arm. Firm. Wait, no, stop that!

[sayshazam]

Billy felt a bit tongue tied, which was weird. Because he'd never really had trouble talking to Tim before. They weren't best friends or anything but talking hadn't been so hard. Now he just wanted to say the perfect thing which made him not say anything at all and he felt weirdly twisted up about that.

"Yeah, too bad the pool isn't open or something," he kidded, imagining for a moment what Tim would look like in swim trunks. Okay, that was a nice thought but... just. No.

[theyoungdetective]

Now he's thinking of Billy in swim trunks and--

"Mmmmm, that would be nice."

Holy crap, he seriously just said that the way he thinks he did, with the drawn out hum while holding on like that and please just bury him already.

"Uh, I think what ever is causing the heat's making me dizzy. I think I really do need that seat."

Tim gingerly lets go and steadies himsel, looking for the nearest park bench, before looking at Billy a little hopefully.

[sayshazam]

Billy watched the way Tim drew out the "Mmmmm", how his lips were pursed together. Tim had really, really nice lips and Billy-

Billy needed to focus on what Tim was saying and not things that he'd like Tim to do to him. Where the heck was this all coming from? Billy had been attracted to guys before but right now he was really, really attracted to Tim.

"Yeah, sitting is good," Billy said, almost shaking his head at how lame that sounded. He sat down on the bench, having to make an effort not to sit right next to Tim so that he could feel the boy up against him. "If you want my apartment isn't too far from here. If you're not feeling well we can go crash there for a bit."

And Billy could take care of Tim and look after him.

[theyoungdetective]

Tim sits slowly next to him, crossing his legs with his ankle resting on the opposite knee. It makes the knee of his propped leg touch Billy's and a rush of static goes up his spine, sending more of a flush to Tim's cheeks.

"That would be a good. After a little air, here. ...So, have you been shopping at the chocolate shop, too?" he asks, nodding at his bag.

[sayshazam]

For some reason Billy was really, really aware of Tim's leg touching his. It wasn't even like it was touching it a lot, it was barely touching but for some reason it was all he could think about. His fingers itched to reach out and put his hand on Tim's knee.

"Oh? Yeah, you know... taking advantage of the special stuff they have out," he said. Which was a lie, he got it for Steph but for some reason he really couldn't bring himself to talk about his girlfriend right now.

[theyoungdetective]

Tim leans over more to take a peek at his bag.

"That's quite a bit for just you. I hope you don't get sick eating any of it," he says with a touch of concern. He remembers how much his stomach hurt after sharing that ice cream with him on Billy's birthday, and they didn't finish the thing.

Though, if there was a reprise of that, Tim could offer to help him feel better. It would be the least he could do after Billy showed so much concern over his own flushed dizziness.

"I bet anyone you decided to share that with would be really happy, though," Tim continues, turning to face Billy. Having leaned in so much, he only just realizes how close their faces are and Tim bits his lower lip as he glances at Billy's mouth. Had the other boy tried any of the chocolates? Is that what was causing this rush of heat?

And would he taste any of the lingering confection if he were to steal a kiss?

[sayshazam]

Billy felt like he couldn't breath. His chest was constricting tight and his stomach was doing all sorts of flip-flops. Tim's mouth was so close to his and it was all he could do not to squirm in his seat. When Tim bit his lower lip Billy let out a sigh that almost turned into a groan.

What Billy meant to do was lick his lips because his entire mouth suddenly felt dry. It's what he meant to do but instead he found himself closing his eyes and leaning just a bit forward, just enough so that his lips pressed against Tim's. It wasn't quite like he was compelled to do it but more like he found himself wanting to do it so badly he didn't even care. He wanted to kiss Tim so that's what he was doing, no thought to anything else.

[theyoungdetective]

Billy is kissing him. Just barely, soft and chaste, and it sends another thrill through Tim's body. It feels like it's been so long since he's been kissed and he wants more, pressing his lips back in return. He groans and tentatively lets his tongue slip between his lips to taste Billy's mouth, tasting chocolate as he suspected there.

Part of his mind is telling him that needs investigating, but the rest is reeling and telling Tim he has to investigate more of how Billy's lips feel when he holds him closer to him.

[sayshazam]

Billy had never kissed another guy. Since he had only ever kissed one other person though, that wasn't all that surprising. It was different though, from kissing a girl. Tim's face seemed a bit rougher, even though his lips were soft and his tongue, oh man, his tongue felt amazing and Billy teased his own back. His hand slid along Tim's thigh as he scooted closer, his head spinning a bit at how amazing this was.

[theyoungdetective]

The hand on his thigh seemed like a pretty good cue to shift in closer, close enough that Tim could fit into Billy's lap. As it is, Tim is just content to pull him in more, one hand moving to cup a lightly stubbled cheek (which was a completely new sensation in his kissing experiences), the into his hair as he deepens the kiss. His other hand just seems to encourage Billy's roaming his leg.

"Ahem," comes sharply from an elderly lady who's just taken up the park bench across from theirs. It surprises Tim enough to jump back just slightly, breaking the kiss.

"Wow," he sighs, barely resisting the urge to just continue offending the woman on the bench with another kiss like that. Tim isn't sure when it was last that he had a kiss like that, in fact. Sure, the kisses with Lynx were hot and desperate with Tam, but that felt like a perfect balance of the two with additional sweetness to it, literally and figuratively.

He definitely wanted more of it.

"You said you live near by?"

[sayshazam]

"Y-yeah, pretty close," Billy said, flushing a bit at both embarrassment and arousal. He shifted a bit uncomfortably before he reached out and grabbed Tim's hand and started to pull him in the direction of his apartment. It felt crazy forward but right now Billy didn't care. He could still feel the taste of Tim on his lips and his fingers in his hair and he wanted more of that. He wanted it badly.

"I just, uh, I just hope you're not allergic to dogs. Or polar bears."

[theyoungdetective]

That's an odd question.

"Dogs, no. I don't think I'm allergic to bears either. Should I be concerned?"

Honestly, though, it wouldn't slow him down too much. Tim never felt want quite like this before (and that should be throwing off alarms as much as the mention of bears), and if Billy really was harboring dangerous animals in his apartment, maybe he could just talk him into making out on the roof or making their way to his apartment instead.

"If you want to, my building is just on the other side of the park from here."

[sayshazam]

"It's, uh, it's a long story," he said, although describing Naga wasn't really that long of a story. Billy just couldn't think clearly right now, all he could concentrate on was what it was like to kiss Tim and how badly he wanted to do it again. It felt like his entire body was almost crawling with the need for it.

"But it's safe, I promise. And we'll be alone there."

[theyoungdetective]

It's still a little concerning, but Tim trusts Billy, nodding to signal as much. He laces their fingers and gives Billy's hand a squeeze.

"Alone. I like that. And you can tell me some of that story along the way."

[sayshazam]

There was something about the way Tim's hand felt in his own that felt so good but also made him feel so anxious, like he wanted to crawl out of his skin. No, not out of his skin he wanted to crawl out of his clothes. And Tim's clothes. Both of them had too many clothes.

"I have a polar bear dog," he said, realizing that maybe the explanation wasn't all that long. "Naga used to belong to a friend of mine. She came from a world where all the animals were hybrids. She thought dogs were as crazy as I thought a polar bear dog was."

[theyoungdetective]

"Oh," he says simply. It really was a much simpler explanation than he previously thought, though the idea was... definitely new. Naga just sounds like a pet, albeit a large and exotic one that would take some getting used to.

"That doesn't sound bad at all. You know, as long as she doesn't get any ideas about eating me up."

Tim bites his lip, resisting the urge to follow with, 'That can be your job.' But the thought of Billy doing just that has Tim moaning just slightly and licking his lips. They can't get to his place fast enough.

[sayshazam]

"She mostly eats fish," Billy said, trying not to think of the ways that he would be happy to eat Tim up. He didn't have any experience with guys other than a bit of imagination but he knew what he liked so he could start with that.

When they got to the building and stepped into the elevator Billy couldn't wait. As soon as the doors closed he turned to Tim again and pulled him close, kissing him deeply again, body pressing against him like he couldn't get enough. Like he couldn't stop himself.

[theyoungdetective]

Tim has the same idea and goes right into the kiss, leaning up and pushing Billy up against the wall of the elevator once the doors closed. He needed to feel more, to tangle his fingers in his thick hair and to feel more of his body pressed against his and wanted to touch skin.

When the doors open again, Tim pulls away with a slight growl, his voice lowered and rough with arousal. He tugs Billy out, looking around the hallway.

"Which way?"

[sayshazam]

"This way," Billy said, completely breathless as he took Tim's hand and dragged him to his door. It seemed to take forever to get it open, fingers fumbling with his keys as he struggled to pick the right one and then push it into the lock all the way. Once he opened the door Billy stepped in and pulled Tim after him, kissing him immediately.

[theyoungdetective]

He couldn't help laughing slightly at his flustered attempts to get the for open faster. Tim just thinks it's adorable and sexy how Billy is as eager as him. He shows his appreciation as his chuckles melt into moans as he returns the kiss, torn between pushing him back until they get to a surface to lie on and climbing up him to see how well those athletic feeling arms work as they continued making out.

Tim chooses the former and starts to push the boy back until they reach the couch, pushing Billy down into the cushions, and straddling him.

[sayshazam]

Billy had never felt like this before, felt this crazy need for more. More kissing, more touching, move of Tim's weight on his lap, the pressure against his crotch. He was so hard his pants were uncomfortable and while that wasn't the first time it had happened Billy had never so badly wanted it to go further. Whenever he was with Steph he-

Steph! His girlfriend. That he very much was crazy about and loyal to.

Billy's eyes went wide and he pushed back at Tim. This wasn't who he was, the type of person to cheat on Stephanie.

"No, stop! Stop, I- I don't know what's going on. I have a girlfriend," he panted, trying to catch his breath and ignore the memory of Tim's lips on his. "I mean- I wouldn't cheat on her. I don't- this isn't right, something is wrong."

[theyoungdetective]

Tim whimpers as he's pushed back and initially wants kiss away his protests, but Billy's words do pierce through his hormonal haze once he processes the words 'girlfriend' and 'cheat.' Oh. Oh crap.

"Oh my god."

He slides off Billy's lap with a look of shame.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know."

[sayshazam]

"No, no, you don't understand," Billy said, waving his hands. He didn't want Tim to feel bad but Billy felt like he needed to freak out. As long as he freaked out he wouldn't be thinking about what he really wanted to be doing, what he wanted to do with Tim. How was he going to explain this to Steph? She would under stand, right? She would have to understand.

"This is... I wouldn't do this with someone else. I mean... I wouldn't cheat but I don't... I get really freaked out with physical intimacy usually," Billy said as he stood up and started pacing.

[theyoungdetective]

Tim watches Billy pace a bit, trying not to think of how good he looks when he moves, and bites his lip as he forces himself to stop. He takes a deep breath, tries to focus on that for a minute. It's very hard. Literally and figuratively. But he was trained for this, has been hit with worse... that he had convenient antidotes for, but still worse.

Closing his eyes, Tim manages to get back his calm and focus.

"I... I don't either. Go as far with that. Definitely haven't with a guy. I haven't even considered it before," he admits.

Still determined to not look at Billy, he turns his eyes and sees the bag that Billy had earlier.

"The chocolate. Damn it."

[sayshazam]

Billy maybe should have considered it a compliment that he had made a guy that wasn't normally into guys act like that but all he could do was freak out. He wanted to shout "Shazam!" and make it all go away. At least he hoped it would go away when he turned into Shazam because if it didn't he was going to have a huge problem.

"Wait, chocolate?" he said, realizing that Tim was still talking. "What about the chocolate?"
