Why This Must Be Read: This is a beautiful piece that is also a beautiful take on the "Five Things" meme.  But beyond that, it's a story that shows John being himself, giving of himself so that Rodney can be happy.  And Rodney, while he takes his time, finally figures it out.  And the result is sweet and funny, with our boys in love.

“Can I fuck you?” John whispers harshly when they’re naked and his cock is already getting sore from being pressed repeatedly against the sweaty skin of Rodney’s soft belly. “God, I just—I really want to fuck you, Rodney.”

“I don’t know.” Rodney looks up; his hair is crazy wild, sticking up in tufts above his forehead, and he’s got two high spots of color on his cheeks.

“You—you don’t know.” John settles to the side.

“I mean, what’ll you give me?”

John stares in shock for a split second and then leans over and bites Rodney’s left nipple. Hard.
