It was a feeling of pure bliss with another person, that they could make you so happy that you feel tipsy, make you giggle and smile effortlessly, that with them in your arms everything felt okay. They werent the best and they werent perfect and Casper knew that. He knew perfectly well he was taking a risk emotionally by falling for the boy at the cafe. But god he couldnt help himself. He couldnt help but love him. He couldnt help but hold onto him, fingers gripping his shirt to remain close. To remind himself that this was real. There was no reason to be scared. To remind himself that love was possible, whether it was one hour or one year. He loved Kyran. It didnt scare him anymore once he admitted it to himself.
When he pulled away he took a shaky breath and opened his eyes. His face was still red, a flush pink across his freckle kissed face. Lips parted as he took in trembling breaths of auttum air. He opened his eyes, olive meeting copper. He was so pretty. His smile, the way it squint his eyes slightly and show his teeth. Watching his eyes water he knew he felt just as emotional as Casper did, and he let his eyes water too, letting a single tear fall and he too smiled and gave a nervous laugh. He could stay like this forever honestly.
When Carmen had texted him to come to the cafe he wasnt expecting any of this. He wasnt expecting to fall for the boy that almost made him deaf when he introduced himself. He felt like the nerd and Kyran was the jock, because god was he so lucky by having him. |
Kyran wiped the tear from Casper's face. Even emotional, he was so pretty. He wanted to say something. He had to say something. But what was he supposed to say? He was just as lost as he had been before the kiss. But he felt better. He felt okay. He took a breath, hoping the words would find themselves, and he opened his mouth.
"I--" There was knock on the glass and Kyran flinched, suddenly everything coming back. The city, the lights, the sounds, Franny knocking on the glass and staring out with wide eyes. She hadn't been there before. He took a deep breath as he glanced at her. At least he'd gotten to kiss Casper this time. He laughed, biting his lip as he reluctantly dropped his hands from Casper's face. He pulled away from him, mouthing 'sorry' before he slid by him and opened the sliding door, picking up a giggling little girl, murmuring some stern words in Spanish as he carried her to the kitchen. She'd wanted a glass of water. He filled a short glass with water and a couple of ice cubes, letting her take a sip before he carried her to the hall and put her down, giving her a kiss on the cheek that she returned and letting her waddle back to the bedroom with her water.
