Summary: AU Ted-n-Mike story. Puberty has a way with messing with you.
They'd already turned in for the night- or at least they'd run out of things to whisper to each other in the dark and now that things were quiet, it gave Ted time to think. Sometimes he really hated thinking because it either 1) got him into trouble (such as pantsing Guy in gym), or 2) was about things he really didn't want to think about (like Babs getting back together with Dick again). Tonight's thoughts, though, were on Mike who had pinned him to the bed an hour ago, wanting to see what the big deal about kissing was. Ted knocked him off, saying that it was stupid and a girl thing. Mike shot back that they were always doing weird things Ted wanted to do, even if Mike didn't but the moment he wanted to try something, nooooooo. Ted whapped him with a pillow, saying he was overreacting, so Mike whapped him with his own pillow and they started wrestling and name-calling until Ted's dad pounded on the door, telling them to quiet down and go to bed. They slipped into their sleeping bags in the blanket fort they built in Ted's room and whispered insults at each other until they were cackling too much to continue and Mike seemed to have forgotten about what started it entirely.
But Ted didn't. If he were being honest, he wanted to know the appeal of kissing, too, but the thought of kissing Mike made his stomach flip in the same weird way it did when he thought about kissing Barbara and Ted didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
It's just hormones, he told himself firmly. Once you're done with puberty you won't think about it ever again.
Then Mike turned over and in the filtered moonlight Ted could just barely see that he was awake.
"Hey, Ted?"
He couldn't help shrinking into his sleeping bag a bit. The dark amplified the sound of Mike's voice and breathing and it sent a shiver through his body. "Yeah?"
"Please let me kiss you?"
God, he was afraid of that. "Mike-"
"Please?" He could hear Mike shuffling closer and shivered again when he could feel Mike's breath against his face. "Just this once, then I'll never ask again."
Ted's stomach flipped and he could feel his face getting hot. "Why's it so important?"
"I just wanna know. You're my best friend, Ted. I wouldn't ask anyone else this."
"Why don't you ask a girl?"
"Because you're here, duh." Suddenly Mike was laying half on top of Ted. "C'mon. Just one kiss. Promise."
He could feel Mike's breath against his lips- almost thought he could feel Mike's lips brushing his as they spoke. Ted slammed his eyes shut and said stiffly, "Fine."
He felt something pressing against his lips and Ted couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at the lack of, well, anything. No sense of floating on air, no chorus and beams of light, not even a jolt. Just a bit of pressure and then Mike backed away.
"See? Nothing special."
"That wasn't a real kiss. How many people on tv kiss with their mouths closed?" Mike was pressing down on him again. "One more time. A real kiss."
Ted rolled his eyes. "Whatever." It weird lying there with his mouth open, but if Mike wanted to know so badly, he could do the work himself. It felt even weirder when Mike's mouth lay open against Ted's, the two of them sharing breaths for a moment. Just as Ted was about to turn his head away, something very cautiously touched his tongue. That made him jolt, mainly at the sudden strangeness of it. It rubbed against his tongue again, then moved to the roof of his mouth and his teeth and Ted realized that it was Mike's tongue.
When Mike finally moved back, Ted realized his breathing was heavier and he could feel his body getting a little hot.
"So?" Mike asked, sounding a little timid. "How was it?"
"Um... kinda weird."
"But not a bad weird, right?"
"No, just weird."
"Can I kiss you again?"
Ted gave him a look. "Mike..."
"Well, maybe we're just not doing it right! I wanna know when it's supposed to feel good! People wouldn't do it so much unless it did, right?" Ted could hear Mike kicking his sleeping bag off, then climbing up to set his knees on either side of Ted's waist. "So, c'mon. Just like on tv." Ted could feel a hand cupping his jaw, another against his neck with fingers threading through his hair. With a sigh, Ted complied, wrapping his arms over Mike's shoulders.
They kissed again and it still felt just weird. It was sloppy and wet and their breathing rattled loudly in Ted's ears. Then he swallowed, inadvertently sucking against Mike's tongue which made him whimper into Ted's mouth.
Okay, that... was different. Ted did it again and that time Mike's whimper reverberated through Ted's skull and turned into a shiver that went down his body. The third time Mike whimpered, Ted couldn't help whimpering back. The kiss started to get a little frantic, mouths moving awkwardly but it was starting to feel good. Mike's hands clutched at Ted's shirt and at some point Ted had both his hands buried in Mike's hair.
Mike pulled away and Ted whimpered again, feeling oddly bereft. Then lips were on his neck, trailing wet splotches that cooled Ted's heated skin and made him shiver even more. "Wh-what are you...?"
"Doing it like on tv," Mike explained, his voice breathless and rough. He licked against Ted's neck, making him shudder, wordless sounds being wrenched out of him.
It felt like Ted's entire body was on fire, body aching for something he didn't know. He gripped Mike's shoulders and arched his back and it was more intense than any of the dreams Ted had been having about nameless women from magazines or tv. "Mike," he pleaded, tilting his head back to encourage his friend to do... something. It was instinct, just like spreading his legs just enough to let Mike settle between them. "Mike, please... I... Mike-"
Sudden pain against his head made Ted jerk upright. "Ow!"
"'Bout time you woke up," he heard Mike grouse somewhere in the dark. His voice sounded a little muffled. "You elbowed me in the nose, jerk."
"What? Oh- uh," Ted ruffled at his hair, trying to reorient himself. "Sorry. Weird dream."
"I could tell. You were flailing around and whining." Mike yawned loudly, already half asleep again. "What was it?"
"Uh... don't remember. Just it was weird."
"Hm."
Ted carefully backed out of his sleeping bag as if Mike would be able to see the state of his pajama bottoms in the dark. "I'm gonna get some water."
"'kay."
He made his way to the bathroom, feeling more than a little horrified that his body was still tingling from his dream and the thought of Mike with his tousled hair and cheeky dimples nestled close by. Ted stared at himself in the mirror, face flush and pants straining. "Oh man," he moaned quietly, "I got problems..."
