The kiss intensified, Freddie's tongue lashing against Jim's slightly. 

He tasted of smoke and beer, with a hint of salt from the chips. Jim could feel Freddie's prominent front teeth against his tongue. It was a combination of ridiculous, hot, and funny. 

Their lips parted only to breathe. Freddie's tongue invaded Jim's mouth, his hands sliding now down Jim's chest, who was vaguely aware that his suit jacket was mysteriously gone.

Suddenly, Freddie broke the kiss and snatched up Jim's tie.

"Wha...?" Freddie twirled Jim around, snatched his hands, and tied them firmly behind his back with the tie before pushing Jim back against the wall, lips crashing feverishly into each other again. Freddie's free hands unbuttoned Jim's shirt delicately before Jim suddenly pulled away. "F-freddie, are you sure this-"

Freddie suddenly turned a deep shade of red and his flirtatious manner faltered. "Jim, I-"

Jim felt the tie leave his wrists and land gently around his neck, and then Freddie was gone.

"Freddie, wait! Freddie!" But Jim couldn't even hear his own shouting over all the commotion, and Freddie could much less.

So unthinkingly, Jim dashed up the stairs, letting his tie fall behind him. As the noise from downstairs faded away, he could hear piano and soft singing.

"Love of my life,

Don't leave me.

You've taken my love

and now desert me

Love of my life, can't you see

Bring it back, bring it back,

Don't take it away from me because 

you don't knoowwwwwww

what it means to me."

"Freddie?" Jim inquired softly.

Freddie was there, singing, in front of his keyboard, beer at the side, an extinguished cigarette next to it; eyes closed, singing.

Jim stood in the door. He didn't want it to end, he wanted Freddie to sing forever, it was so beautiful.

Freddie's eyes opened and he saw Jim in the doorway.

He smiled.

"You will remember

When this is blown over

Everything's all by the way

When I grow older

I will be there at your side to remind you

How I still love you..."

Freddie stood, walking slowly towards Jim with his beautiful eyes in the soft light.

Pulling Jim into his gentle embrace and singing into his ear. "Love of my life.... Love of my life..."

The two shared a tender kiss, falling backwards onto Freddie's bed, legs and arms entwining as they fell asleep...

Love of my life, don't leave me...
