Ren stumbled back after the initial collision and coughed on the large gulp of beer he had been trying to guzzle down. He hid his face in his elbow as he coughed but watched as Shae practically tear his shirt off of him. Someone was obviously a little more than eager for their alcohol consumption. He righted himself after the coughing fit and finally realized that at some point when he hadn't been paying attention Shae had taken his open bottle of beer. He scowled at his friend.

"You know I was opening you a fresh bottle. You didn't have to take mine."

It happened so fast. Ren didn't even have time to react and suddenly Shae's arm was around his neck in a fairly buddy-like embrace, but that was were the buddy-like comparison ended. The other man's lips were pressed against his.

First thought to run through his head, Panic! Hadn't he come to return the sketch book and apparently had decided to model for him as indicated by the stripping in the middle of his living room. How much had Shae drunk before coming to his door? Ironically that was a sobering thought.

They must have made and awkward picture cause the rest of Ren looked as if it was trying not to touch Shae just as Shae himself was pulling Ren in closer. One of them would have to give in, and Ren knew that it probably would be him so he let Shae bring him into the kiss. He even softened under Shae's touch, tentatively kissing him back as if worried that everything would be suddenly snatched away and he would be left feeling stupid and cheated.

Ren opened his mouth slowly, accepting the taste of Shae: Beer, cigarettes, and something else was there. It was deep and musky, purely Shae. He wondered absently if perhaps if was like that all over his skin and not just his lips. Ren wondered if he was the same. Did he have something that made Shae want to keep kissing him like he was?
