The last day or so has been full of surprises for Vance. Most of them, not actually very nice surprises.

This one is, though. It pulls a startled 'Mmph!' from him as Robbie kisses him, with a lot more enthusiasm -- or something -- than experience. Enough that Vance reaches up with his free hand, settling it against Robbie's face to keep him close while Vance himself turns his head slightly. Not pulling away at all, but simply angling his head so that their mouths fit together better, enough to gentle the kiss itself without breaking it. Making it easier on them both, even if his head pounds a little more with the movement.

Tightening his hand on Robbie's, though, he figures that's a small price to pay, really.
