Making it better
by M. F. Luder
"It died."
Ryan turns around, one eyebrow lifted.
"Dude, Slippery, my fish. It died." Seth pouts. "I'm heartbroken. I've it since forever."
Ryan rolls his eyes. "You got it last week at the carnival."
"So? It was forever for him." Seth sighs, looking at the golden fish, floating upside down. "He was so clever."
"He was a fish."
"Are you mocking my pain and sorrow?"
Ryan shakes his head. Sighing, he leans over and kisses Seth on the lips. "Better?"
Seth's eyes twinkle. So maybe the pain didn't last long. "Not really. Try again?"
Ryan smiles. "I can do that."
