Disclaimers: Not mine, don't own 'em, not making any money. Oh, and I've only seen the movie once, so if I've changed things…please don't kill me!
Warnings: this is slash, ya know…male/male love. Very happy, but if you don't like it don't read, and if you still read I've warned you, so I'm not responsible.

They were so close, arguing almost face to face. Arguing. Ken groaned internally. It wasn't supposed to be like this! He wasn't even supposed to feel like hitting Bobby, much less hitting him and then kissing him. It was wrong. Just plain wrong. But Bobby's eyes were shining and his cheeks were flushed with excitement and somehow he just looked so alive and so beautiful in his ranting. Finally they fell silent, standing there, staring at each other.

"Ken…" Bobby had calmed down…was almost pleading now. There was nothing he wanted more than Ken's approval. Nothing. Well, except maybe…. He shouldn't be thinking about that. He shouldn't! Ken was married for chrissake! He was Christian! Catholic! God, so was he, and it was just so wrong! He was going to hell… he was…But then Ken's beautiful eyes would flash and Bobby would get drawn in again. Those harsh eyes that cared so much about everything and Bobby couldn't even count the times had imagined those strong arms wrapping tightly around him, keeping him safe.

"Bobby?" The argument had stalled and Ken had noticed. Bobby bit back a whimper. God damn it he would settle for a hug! Though…oh god, please, more than a hug. He was scared and worried and right now so much rested on him…

"Ken…" This time it was almost a whimper, and Ken reached out and clasped the younger man's arm.

"Bobby, ya just got ta relax."

"I…" Bobby bit his lip, clutching Ken's hand to his arm. "Ken, I…" Bobby gulped, staring up at Ken's eyes. He loved those eyes, god he just...he couldn't…he…

Ken's eyes widened as Bobby's mouth clamed over his own. Soft, sweet, and so ultimately Bobby. Bobby…slowly he came out of his shock and jerked back. There were tears in Bobby's eyes.

"I…I'm sorry…" Bobby rushed out of the room, leaving Ken staring dumbly after him.

"Bobby…" he whispered, stunned. He spun round, slamming his fist into the wall that had been behind him, barely missing John Kennedy's head.

"Not the best response I've ever seen," the President deadpanned.

"John, I…"

"You feel like apologizing to my brother yet?"

"I…"

"Ken."

"I'm married, John."

"And not all that happily so I might mention."

"I'm Catholic."

"Ken, you haven't really been to church in years. And as of yet you haven't said that you don't feel the same as he does."

"Because I do! But…"

"You do," John sighed. "So what's your problem?"

"It's wrong!"

"So's hurting Bobby."

"I know! …God, I so know…"

John was standing right in front of Ken now. "Ken, I'm not just speaking as Bobby's brother, though god knows I'm mad enough at you as that. I'm speaking as your President. Bobby has to work. He loves you, as far as I can see I know you feel something. Ken your marriage has been on the rocks for years. You know why you have so many kids? Because every time you have a huge fight, you end up fucking. Fucking, Ken, not making love, just releasing aggression. Bobby needs you, Ken. And the country needs Bobby to be able to work properly. So if you don't get out there and apologize to my baby brother you're fired."

"What are you doing, John?"

"I'm trying to take care of things, my country and my family. Now shoo!"

Ken strode out, leaving John praying that the man was heading off to woo his brother rather than to disappear into the night.

Yeah, I know...but it's so there!
