Collin had just finished lighting the last candle when Tanner's knock rang on the door. He blew the match out, dropped in the ashtray, checked his hair in the hall mirror, then went to answer the door. He didn't remember grabbing him but Tanner was in his arms and he pushed him against the wall, thrusting his tongue into his mouth while reaching down and giving his cock a gentle squeeze.
Tanner answered passion with passion, groaning and ripping Collin's shirt from his bronzed body, then biting his neck. Collin roared and roughly kissed him again, trying his best to meld their mouths together. It was several minutes before either could part and they stood gasping for breath, staring at each other.
"I like how you say hello." Collin grinned and Tanner laughed, happily falling into his arms. The embrace was a long one, deep and heartfelt. "God, I missed you. It's only been a few days but it seems like it's been weeks."
"For me as well."
"Good." Collin pulled back and gave Tanner a deep kiss, running his fingers along his jaw. "We'd better get your things out of the hallway."
"Yeah, I guess we'd better." Tanner whispered against Collin's mouth. He tasted his young man a few more times before he moved to pick up his bag. Collin helped, giggling as they unpacked Tanner's things, putting socks into drawers and hanging suits in the closet. He couldn't believe that he'd let Collin talk him into staying.
"I've got a present for you." Collin opened a drawer and pulled out a blue velvet box, tied with a curly pink bow. "Open it."
Tanner accepted the jewelry box warily and flipped the lid open, smiling so wide that his face hurt. Inside was a hand painted wooden toothbrush with Collin's distinctive signature on the handle and decorated with hearts. "Oh, Collin, this is beautiful!" He smoothed the varnished wood. "But I can't ever use it!"
"I thought you'd say that." Collin pulled a brand new toothbrush out and handed the plastic package to Tanner.
