Matt isn't the type to change his mind in a panic when faced with the unknown, and a kiss from his lifelong best friend isn't going to be the thing that changes him. It just might change his life, though, because the moment Steve's lips meet his, he feels a surge of emotion that almost overwhelms him.

Emboldened by that feeling, he slides his arm around Steve's waist, the other hand resting light against his chest. As they part from that first hesitant kiss, a little smile grows on Matt's face. He tastes like sugar and beer and a hint of spice.

"Nope." Quite the opposite, in fact. Rather than stopping, he'd very much like to do it again. And so he does, pressing his lips to Steve's a little more firmly, fingers curling into the man's shirt.
