It wasn't his fault that George was going deaf. And he told him as much, "You need to get your ears checked, but I'll be sure to set off a firecracker the next time I come by," Roger snorted, before stepping nimbly around the boxes, bending, and grabbing George by the collar.
With a surprising amount of strength, he hauled the other man up, before planting a kiss on him.
Maybe it was just months of teasing leading up to this. Or maybe someone had tipped a love potion into his tea when he wasn't looking. But for whatever reason, there Roger was, kissing George. He hadn't released the red head's collar, but instead clutched it tightly to keep George from moving away in surprise.
