Tonight

 

See the boys studying together. The one with hair like pure snow, smiling at the quiet one as he explains the gist of their homework – The Big Bang Theory and the birth of the universe. See how the sun-gold eyes are filled with the greatest respect and love, admiring and adoring his friend who has all the things he doesn't. His gentle nature, his dry humor, his quiet voice – intelligence and poise and patience. See how the other catches him staring, finding those amber eyes filled with stars and galaxies, an unexplored universe teeming with life, anxious to be discovered. See how the young cheeks flush, how the stars flicker with discovery and burn away. Ahh, but the quiet boy is reaching out, touching the flushed cheek, turning the eyes back to his and reigniting the stars with his attention. And now he's leaning down, a little hesitant as he glances into the starlit eyes, so close he can feel the stuttering breath against his parted lips. They regard each other for a moment with caution, until they're both sure they know what they're doing, and both sets of eyes close as both pairs of lips meet. A first kiss that forms new galaxies, new worlds, and new lives.

you can never ever leave

we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
