I know it's still early in the month but our beloved boys have an important date to commemorate ~ The 40th Anniversary of the Reunion Kiss. <^( This is the place to put your tribute to our boys and celebrate the day they found each other again.
June 24, 1967
The fourth summer since Brokeback came on and in June Ennis had a general delivery letter from Jack Twist, the first sign of life in all that time.
Friend this letter is long over due. Hope you get it. Heard you was in Riverton, Im coming thru on the 24th, thought I’d stop and buy you a beer, Drop me a line if you can, say if your there.
The return address was Childress, Texas. Ennis wrote back, you bet, gave the Riverton address.

Late in the afternoon, thunder growling, that same old green pickup truck rolled in and he saw Jack get out of the truck, beat up Resistol tilted back.
A hot jolt scalded Ennis and he was out on the landing pulling the door closed behind him.

Jack took the stairs two and two. They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying, son of a bitch, son of a bitch,

then, as easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard, Jack’s big teeth bringing blood, his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling,

the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis’s straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other’s toes

until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, little darlin.

:cr) Happy 40 Years Boys! :cr)
:\'( I am getting so weepy reading the posts so far. It's hard to pick one moment from that reunion. Those few moments are a story in themselves. Four years of all the things they wanted to say and dared to hope for came out in that explosive kiss: "I want you"; "I missed you"; "I need you"; "I thought you forgot about me"; "Never"; "I wish I never let you go". Those dreams coming to fruition, that wish whispered across the miles being granted. I always cry during this scene because it's just so powerful- so much raw emotion between those two. I love when Jack goes back at Ennis with the kiss- the look in his eyes- the mix of tears, disbelief and shock is so intense. Ennis throwing caution to the wind because he is so overcome with seeing his Jack again.
This is not the best cap but it has that Jack look I love so much in this scene:

And this- Just them so spent from unleashing four years of longing (and that was just the start- there's Motel Siesta too ;) )

This is my favorite bit from this passage in the SS: as easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers It just conveys so much meaning in a few words. <^(

Wha, . . damn . . .

Thanks, LJN. This is one of my favorite scenes. Ennis was so loosened up. Happy anniversary, boys.
