Why this must be read:

"Five first kisses, and what they're worth," is spuffyduds's summary - Ray Kowalski's life in kisses, good and bad, from innocence to disillusionment to maturity. It's a short little thing, but contains some of the best characterization I've seen - RayK is very, very himself in this, and each of the moments being described rings so true.

He probably ought to be mad but he cracks up instead, swimming in her strawberry Bubble Yum smell and knowing how stupid he looks and just laughing and laughing, and suddenly Stell’s face goes all slack and strange and she leans over and, oh my God, kisses him. Just that tiny little bit of skin against his skin but it’s the biggest best thing in the world, because it’s everything he thought he had to work so hard for and it turns out she wanted to give it to him the whole time.
