This is *DEFINITELY* one of my favorites of the entire challenge. Beautifully written. The images are beautiful and the present tense is perfect to set the anticipation Justin feels. I really, really like this. A LOT.
Justin takes one step closer, stepping into a small puddle, the water staining his suede shoes like blood staining satin, but he doesn't care. One of Brian's hands cups the back of his neck; Justin's hands come to rest on Brian's hips. They both breathe in, remembering and recognizing each other with all the senses.
