Challenge #143: Kiss
Title: Checking for Fit
Author: wavingcat5
Notes: To my wonderful, switched-on beta, noteverything, a big kiss, and a very big thankyou! ^__^
And the Condom goes to… Daphne

Ethan fits me.

It’s not just that we’re both struggling students and passionate artists who believe in love. Our bodies match too.

When we walk together it’s easy to catch hold of his hand. When we embrace it’s eye to eye, heart to heart, cock to cock. It’s perfect.

Except for the kissing.

He kisses me in snatched bites. Hungry for me but not slowing down enough to taste. He moves in too soon, and pulls away too quickly.

I’m sure we’ll be able to work it out, with enough time, enough love.

And, after all, there are other things.

	I really like this...of course Ethan would be a crappy kisser and always think that Justin's forever got a list of "reasons Ethan is better than Brian" playing in his head, trying to ignore that jiggly little feeling that, "no, actually, Ethan IS A LOT WORSE than Brian." Thanks for sharing it and for letting me have the opportunity to beta. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	trying to ignore that jiggly little feeling that, "no, actually, Ethan IS A LOT WORSE than Brian." That made Brian chuckle somewhere in the ether. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Good drabble! I just don't like to think/read about Ethan very much, sorry! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thankyou :) Well if you can bear it, you should watch the scenes where Ethan gets with Justin for the first time. His kissing technique is truly, empirically WRONG! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay, when I read the first line, I though "Uh oh, girlfriend." Nice twist and great drabble! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Lolz! Thankyou, and I admit I can't resist barracking for an underdog, so, unlike many, I don't think Ethan is the devil's spawn - but I DO think he is a genuinely dodgy kisser (see my comment to alicesprings) and that would have been quite a spanner in the works for Justin, and quite a let-down after Brian!

Killer last line.

Glad you had Tweeds beta, she is my favorite drabbler and a really great teacher.

This. is. Wonderful!!!!!

And actually there are a couple of things that I think are nice about Ethan and Justin as a couple, one is that Ethan let's Justin overtly nurture and care for him. I am sure that must have been SO nice for someone as open and and wise and accessible emotionally as Justin. And two, what you mentioned here, I think it's sweet sometimes the way walk together arm and arm and fit together, two young, short (LOL) art college students.

	Thankyou! Yes, they are short, which to me is cute together (!). I like to see another perspective on Justin, as he is with someone else - but it can never match the big love with Brian :D Tweedy is a GREAT teacher. And you are too. <3 (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, and glad you picked up on that line! I didn't know if anyone would remember it from the show. It was Justin's expression of his needs, while also trying to convince himself that other needs don't matter :( sad I just want Justin to have it all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
