Peter popped a jolly rancher into his mouth, sucking and savoring the flavor.

It was dark out, maybe around 10:00 PM, the atmosphere was cool and calming. Soft wind russled the leafs and branches as some fell and landed near the two boys.

"Mm, Cole, want one?"

Cole nodded, reaching his hand out to catch one of the brightly colored candys. Peter unwrapped a red one, Coles favorite, and held it to his boyfriends mouth. Cole gladly let Peter feed him the Jolly rancher, munching down on it immediately.

Peter eyed Cole. "Why do you *chew* it?"

Cole raised his eyebrow. "Is that a bad thing? How am I supposed to eat it?"

Peter grinned and rolled his eyes, popping another blue into his mouth.

"Your 'sposed to *suck* it, it makes it last longer. Plus your teeth wont get so sticky."

Cole shrugged and chuckled, getting another red one and ignoring Peters comment. "I'll eat the way I want to," he joked.

Peter rested his head on top of Coles shoulder. "It's so weird how everything has changed," He said softly, suddenly shifting the conversation. "it feels like forever ago we were sworn enemies and you bashed my head against a sidewalk,"

Cole grimaced. He didn't like to think of those times.

"Yeah, it's does, doesn't it?" How long had it been now, two years? It really did seem like forever ago- Cole felt like a whole new person.

"We've both changed a lot."

The moon shined down on them, illuminating their features. Peter loved every thing about Cole, even if Cole couldn't see it sometimes.

For a moment, they sat in silence, heads both leaning against each other. Cole took notice  of how the moon also illuminated Peter, and blushed slightly. He really did love Peter.

"I love you," Cole said softly. He reached his left arm up and wrapped it around Peter, pulling him closer to his side.

"I love you too,"

He wrapped a arm around Cole as well, admiring the sights from such a high Hill. Cole also admired- not only were the stars and moon breathtaking, but he could scarcely make up some far, colorful city lights. Sense how long had he been able to see such beauty in life? Before, he would've found some way or another to curse it or brush it off. The island truly had changed him.

He missed it.

"We should visit the island again sometime, just me and you. Revisit old memories," Cole said without a thought. Peter thought about it for a minute, before smiling and nodding.

"That would be awesome, it'd be so nice to see the spirit bear again. Plus, it'd be hilarious to watch you huff and puff while trying to carry that huge boulder up the hill again, after so long. Or maybe even wince when your toes hit the cold water at the pond," He teased.

Cole laughed. "I spent more then a year there, darling, I think I can handle it. You? You'd probably break your arm." He teased right back at him. That was definitely a over exaggeration, Peter had been along side Cole during almost each morning, but it was fun to tease him.

Peter opened his mouth to speak, but just grinned and huffed as his head hit Coles shoulder again. "Would not, but whatever." He added after way to long.

Peter moved his head away after a while, to stare at Cole.

"Can we makeout?"

Coles eyes widened at the sudden request, but his look of shock soon turned into a look of happiness.

"Of course,"

Peter and Cole faced each other now. Cole rested over Peters waist, and Peters rested on Coles shoulders. They weren't very good at kissing, obviously- Peter had never even dated anyone before Cole, and Cole only dated a girl in 9th grade because he wanted to show off. He didn't love her in any way, but she seemed to feel the same.

But what mattered to Cole and Peter was that they shared this passionate moment together. It felt so wonderful to be in the arms of someone you loved and trusted. Cole had never felt this way before, not for anyone.

As they continued to kiss, Peter ran his hands through Coles uneven, dirty-blonde hair. Cole caressed Peters cheek, humming into the kiss lovingly.

This kiss was not one of lust, but of love and passion.

Eventually, the two boys pulled away and caught their breaths, Peter giggling a little in between.

"Our tongues are purple," He giggled.

Cole looked at Peters tongue, and then stuck out his own. It *was* purple! He giggled a bit too, wiping his mouth.

--

Peter and Cole layed next to each other, holding hands and looking up at the night sky. They both felt so safe and secure. They were safe here, they knew. Peter drifted off first, then Cole.

They'd worry about how concerned their parents must be in the morning.
