Ethan's mind was as blank as a sheet of paper. There was no actual thinking going on in there, which was probably the reason he had acted so impulsively. All he was going on was instinct alone, and that wasn't usually how he operated. Sure, he wasn't much of a thinker on a regular basis, but this was just way too impulsive for him. Not... that he realized it at the moment. Touching Elliot's cheek only really served to further blur his thoughts to the point that it was difficult to even speak. It was difficult to do much else other than want to be closer to the boy.
"No," was the only word Ethan could get out. There was this undeniable force that longed to press his lips against Elliot's once more. And he was sure Elliot hadn't been terribly opposed to the kiss, lest he would have pushed him away. So, Ethan tried again, leaning forward to kiss the younger man. Heck, had Ethan been thinking straight, he would have long since convinced himself that Elliot was too young. He was cute and sweet but far too young. He wasn't the type to take advantage of someone like that.
