"Literal? I'll have to ask her when I see her next." Everest mumbles, more to himself than to Mateo, though thanks to the drugs humming their melodies in his veins, his control over the volume of his voice was shaky at best.
Unable to say that kissing Mateo was or wasn't what he'd expected—he'd had no expectations, really—the aviator wasn't sure how to answer at first as he was gently pushed back. Mateo tasted like the gin Ever had sipped only minutes before, but different somehow for remaining on the botanist's skin. He was warm too, pleasantly so, and his lips were just as soft as his hands had been. Whether or not his lips were meant to grow thinner for his smile, Ever didn't know, nor was he even sure he'd actually kissed his friend properly. It certainly hadn't been unpleasant, though given what and how he'd seen others kiss in the past, Everest had the distinct impression something had grown wrong somewhere.
"It hurt my neck." The aviator answered honestly, while silently trying to reconcile the blue of the botanist's eyes with the softness of his lips.
"They would? Why would they do that?"
