[Eugene had ended up staying in Louisiana. He'd start his studies soon and he found that it'd been a bit easier to deal with himself once he was away from his family. He loved them but there had been a constant pressure -- mostly from his mother -- to do more, to be fine when he wasn't. There was little of that here.

And he'd spent more and more time with Roe. It seemed odd to do so. But now he was headed to his place in what would really be the final nail on how odd all of this was. Ironic, perhaps was a better word. His knocked on his door light, remembering again the first time he'd stood here.

Was this right? Was this good for either of them to be going down this road? Could he even trust himself that this was really because of Roe. That for Roe it really was about Sledge? They were all they had left of something that had left them both hurting. It was hard know where one thing ended and another began.]

[As Sledge's lips softened against his, Roe couldn't help but sigh into the kiss, thinking that it was oddly pleasant to take his time like this. Neither of his male partners had been much for taking their time, and he'd thought he should be more aggressive with women than was probably necessary, so this was fairly new to him as well. Doing anything without pushing himself as close as he could get to the limit without breaking was new to him.

But this wasn't to be rushed, not with the circumstances around it or the way it had developed so far. Roe's fingers curled against the neatly trimmed line of hair at the nape of Sledge's neck, and he parted his lips to tease his tongue across Sledge's mouth, more trying to coax him into opening it himself than the blunt force entry he'd always been used to.]

[This was nice. Sledge honestly might not have been able to take the type of kiss he'd been used to getting from Shelton. This was tender and nursed away at the insecurities that had been plaguing him, like they were slowly being kissed away.

The tongue against his lips surprised him only for a moment before he parted them even int his slower pace there was still an eagerness to taste more, to know Roe more. His hand reached up to cup the other's cheek, caressing along his jaw as they kissed. There was a part of Sledge that thought this might be some sort of dream but the warmth Roe's skin beneath his fingers indicated otherwise.]
