[ Bradbury's clothes were already wet, and so were Mitch's, so the rising water can't really worsen anything in that department. There was something almost painfully determined in his eyes as he stared Mitch down, one arm sliding to wrap around his waist.
He could feel the water lapping at his ribcage, and there wasn't any more time to waste on trying to explain something he was basically taking a gamble on. ]
You need to take my breath away. [ Wow, that came out a hell of a lot gayer than he intended it to, no matter how forcefully he said it. Before Mitch could form a response or give him shit about it, he was bringing one hand around to the hair at the base of his head, tipping it back so he could place his mouth on Mitch's again.
This time, it wasn't the steady, sure seal of his lips over Mitch's. His lips pressed a little too hard, noses and teeth bumping awkwardly, but the hand in Mitch's hair wouldn't let him move away, except to catch his breath -- Bradbury needs to be breathless, but not Mitch. His heartbeat roars louder than the water rushing in, and he hopes Mitch can't hear or feel it.
At least if this doesn't work, they'll be dead and he can hope like hell he gets to come back before Mitch does so he can kill himself again from the sheer embarrassment. ]
