"Do you know?"

A cup of coffee paused half-way to his lips, Jackson looks to his young friend seated across from him, a book on his lap.  Jackson raises his eyebrows and takes a slow sip.

"Know what?" He asks, scowling and fanning his burnt tongue.

The hardwood squeaks under the weight of the tall male as he walks towards the loveseat  Jackson was seated on. He takes the warm cup from the soft hands and places it on the counter, taking those delicate hands in his instead.

"Why we are given two of everything?" A warm, rich voice whispers; sending a shiver down  Jackson's spine. His chocolate brown eyes stare up into a mirror image; a color so similar to his own, but so different at the same time.

Quizzical,  Jackson shrugs and tries to ignore the sudden rise of heat to his face. He suddenly finds the color of the floor captivating.

"We were given," slender fingers softly touch his chin and gently lift it upwards, "two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see, and two ears to listen." The melodious voice says, caressing  Jackson's cheek as their entwined hands tighten.

"But why only one heart?" Suddenly  Jackson finds those velvety eyes inches away from his; their noses lightly brushing. Silently gasping,  Jackson's eyes slowly close as his breathing quickens, as well as his heart. He freezes when a warm breath ghosts over his lips.

"Because the other was given to someone," the voice that Jackson fell in love with says, "For the one to find."

His body buzzing with heat and heart drumming against his chest,  Jackson waits for what was about to come.

But did it usually take this long for a kiss?

Timidly, he peeks open an eye and then the other. His eyes widen in surprise, and then narrow in fury.

A storm brewing, he kicks the shaking form of his lover on the floor and marches to his room. " Karry Wang, you are such an asshole!"  Jackson pouts, throwing the book of '101 silly love quotes for dummies' at the younger male, who was dying with laughter on the floor. His aim was a tad off, and the book landed in the kitchen sink instead.

"Oh man, but you should have seen your face!"  Karry snorts, calming himself. "Who knew such immature things can make you—" He pauses when he looks up to see Jackson on the verge of tears. Guilt immediately kicks him in the guts.

" Jackson, don't cry!" He says, feeling sorry. He tries to hug  Jackson, but gets pushed away as  Jackson runs into the bedroom.

"You always ruin the mood!"  Jackson whines behind the door.

 Karry slumps against the wooden frame and purses his lips, knocking lightly on the door. "I just wanted to tease you... Don't be mad." He puts a hand on the knob. "I promise I won't do anything dumb like that again, so please open the door?"

Silence, then the door opens slightly and  Jackson pokes his head out. "Promise?" He pouts, eyes glimmering and wide.

"Promise,"  Karry says solemnly. He then yelps as a hand roughly jerks him inside. He blinks as  Jackson pushes him down on their bed. "Eh?" He squeaks, his body vibrating from the dark look in the other males eyes.

"Revenge for killing the mood," Jackson whispers, a sadistic smile forming on his lips.

 Karry's eyes widen as he moans, "It's not even noon yet!!"
