Killjoy Lips

Killjoys never tell their name

The day went by fast. By nightfall we would be attacking Battery City. Party Poison was sitting at a bench I went and sat across from him. He was drawing something.

“Watchya doin?” I asked

“Drawing”

“Drawing what?”

He looked up. “You” he said then looking down drawing again

I leaned across the table to see. He was drawing me. It was a silhouette of me laughing, it was perfect. It looked like a photograph.

“That’s amazing!” I said. He looked up and set his drawing to the side

The tension was too strong. His eyes were pulling me in. No I can’t kiss him. No. It was too late. His lips gently melted with mine. I felt his hand caress my neck pulling me closer. I wanted more. His tongue traced my lips. He forced me down on my back. It was extreme make out from there. His hands were all over my body and mine were all over his.

“EH EH EHM” Kobra Kids voice interrupted us

We looked up. Party immediately sat up, so did I.

Kobra was chewing gum looking at us smirking.

“So?” Kobra said

“So” Party said standing up taking my hand. We walked away towards the car. We leaned on the hood. He was still holding my hand.

He turned towards me.

“I couldn’t stand it anymore” he said simply

I leaned my head on his shoulder.

“Party…………….I………..”

“Gerard”

“What?”

“My name is Gerard” he said

He told me his name. Killjoys never tell their name.

“and I love you” he said

I kissed him and looked at him.

“I love you” I said simply

He smiled.

“If you really think about it, we are both being hunted down, chances are, we’ll die together” he said

He was right. We are being hunted down by the same man.
