Summary: The first time Hector kissed a boy.
Warnings: homophobia.
Notes: Pride fic #15.


The first time Hector kissed a boy, he was fifteen and in high school and the boy ran away after, wiping his mouth.

The second time Hector kissed a boy, he was seventeen, it was the same boy as the first time, and it was fine as long as they never told anyone.

The tenth (sixteenth) (twenty-third) time Hector kissed a boy, he was nineteen (twenty) (twenty-one), and he never did learn from his mistakes.

The first time Hector kissed Theo, it wasn't anything special; a night in a bar, a pretty man.

He hasn't stopped kissing Theo.

He never wants to.

This is actually the kind of story I keep coming back to in my own writing, and you really managed to put it in 100 words. XD I have come to terms with the fact that I like telling a couple of the same stories over and over and one of them is overcoming internalized and external homophobia.

So, thank you, this is my (sad) jam.

[bookblather]

Awww, thank you! That's more or less Hector's story. I hope the happy ending helps?

[ilthit]

Of course! That's why it's my sad jam, really, because those happy endings are really necessary.

[bookblather]

They ARE. And I'm allergic to unhappy endings so you'll always get at least some happiness in my fics.

Aww. Again, so good.

[bookblather]

Thank you!

Aw, it's so good he found Theo!

[bookblather]

It really is. Thank you!
