"The lights switched off and hid them from the dark street. The fading orange in the filaments showed clear in his eyes, then disappeared when Thaniel kissed him. His shoulders came forward and Thaniel breathed him in, the lemon soap on his skin, and the water vapour and the charcoal. Though he had shaved that morning, his cheek was rough"

This scene is beautiful. (Spanish down below)

Payton: "Thanks you for encouraging me to keep playing the piano"

River: "Music gives us permission to feel. You need that more than most. I like what you're doing with your campaign, it's very positive. I'ts important that it stays that way, people need something to believe in"

Payton: "I think the positivity may just be a means to an end. I don't know yet if I'm a good person."

River: "You don't have to be a good person as long as you do good things"

Payton: "I miss you"

Payton: Gracias por animarme a seguir tocando el piano.

River: La música nos da permiso para sentir, necesitas eso más que nada. Me gusta lo que estás haciendo com tu campaña, es muy positiva, es importante que se quede de esa forma, las personas necesitan algo en lo que creer.

Payton: Creo que la positividad puede ser solo un medio para un fin. Todavía no sé si soy una buena persona".

River: No tienes que ser una buena persona siempre que hagas cosas buenas.

The River's jacket / AU

Payton had gotten used to the feel of River's warm clothes, he felt protected and loved, as if the boy was hugging him all the time, he couldn't complain, and River pretended not to notice every time he took one of his shirts.

however, in one of his many Mandarin classes, River appeared with his huge team jacket, left it on one of the sofas, and started with the lessons. Payton's eyes strayed to River's huge garment, maybe he could keep it.

River smiled at him every time he caught him looking at his jacket, but said nothing. At the end of the lessons, River stood up, Payton followed him quickly, his brain at full speed thinking of some excuse to stay, at least for the weekend, with River's jacket.

"See you on Monday," River said simply, then walked over to Payton and kissed his cheek.

When Payton looked at him again, River was smiling, winked at him, and left the room.

That was the last time River came to teach him Mandarin, and the last time they were able to speak without Payton being too upset to listen to him, to let him talk, because all he did was yell at him, yell at him for betraying him, for running for the student body president, if only he had let him speak ... maybe ...Payton wouldn't be hugging the only thing he had left of that huge blue-eyed boy, maybe he wouldn't be missing him right now, maybe instead of just having the smell of River on his jacket, he would be hugging him, kissing him, running his fingers through the delicate curls of his hair.

if only he had paid attention to him...

A movie person ~ River and Payton au ~

River had not wanted to say it, but the words had come out of his mouth without him being able to stop them, and now Payton was next to him in his bed, with a pillow in his arms and a blanket over their heads.

He was amazed that Payton had agreed to this, he hadn't thought the boy was much of a movie person, he was always so busy with politics that he would have sworn he barely had time to sleep. But Payton never ceased to amaze him, and now River felt he loved him a little more.

They had finished their Mandarin lessons for the day and River hadn't wanted to leave yet, he loved spending time with Payton, cause when they were alone he was someone else, and River wanted to discover every layer of the boy.

He was falling too fast and that scared him.

Payton was smiling at the screen, and River couldn't help but smile too.

"What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" Payton put a hand on his nose, raising his glasses to clean up anything he might have. River laughed and looked back at the screen.

"No, I was just looking at you"

He felt Payton stiff by his side, alert and scared.

"Why?" he said slowly, his voice barely above a whisper.

River glanced at him, with a small smile, knowing that Payton liked his dimples. "Because I like to see you smile"

Payton opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it except a little "oh". River was beginning to regret what he had just said when the boy next to him blurted out "I like to see you smile too" he was blushing and didn't look at him in the eye.

He could feel Payton's nervousness at his side, he didn't want that, he wanted the boy to be comfortable at his side, but Payton seemed to freak out with the feelings.

"Hey" he said pushing him a little by the shoulders "Are you hungry?"

"Yes!" Payton blurted out Impulsively "I mean ... yeah, that would be fine"

"Come on then" River stood up and extended a hand towards the boy "I'm going to prepare the best dinner of your life, you're going to go crazy"

Payton chuckled and took his hand, relaxing as he stood up. "I can help you"

"You? Do you know how to cook? " He joked as he led him down the stairs.

"HEY! Of course I know how to cook" he accused him in a fake annoyed voice. "I am not my brothers"

"You could never be" River looked at him sideways, turning his head to look at the boy who was smiling shyly "You are better"

No había querido decirlo, pero las palabras habían salido de su boca sin que él pudiera detenerlas, y ahora Payton estaba a su lado en la cama, con un una almohada entre los brazos y una manta sobre sus cabezas. River estaba asombrado de que Payton hubiera accedido a esto, no había pensado que el chico fuera mucho de películas, siempre estaba tan ocupado con la política que habría jurado que apenas tenía tiempo para dormir. Pero Payton nunca dejaba de sorprenderlo, y ahora River sentía que lo quería un poquito más.

Habían terminado sus lecciones de mandarín del día y River no había querido irse aún, le encantaba pasar tiempo con Payton, porque cuando estaban solos era otra persona, y River quería descubrir cada capa del chico.

Estaba enamorándose demasiado rápido, y lo asustaba.

Payton estaba sonriendo, y River no pudo evitar sonreír también.

"¿Qué pasa? ¿Tengo algo en la cara?" Payton se llevo una mano a la nariz, levantando sus lentes para limpiar cualquier cosa que pudiera tener. River se rio y volvió a mirar hacia la pantalla.

"No, solo estaba mirándote"

Sintió a Payton quedarse quieto a su lado, atento y asustado.

"¿Por qué?" dijo lentamente, su voz apenas un susurro.

River lo miro de soslayo, con una pequeña sonrisa, sabedor de que a Payton le gustaban sus oyuelos. "Porque me gusta verte sonreír"

Payton abrió la boca, pero nada salió de ella, salvo un pequeño "oh". River estaba comenzando a arrepentirse de lo que acababa de decir cuando el chico a su lado soltó "Me gusta verte sonreír también" estaba sonrojado y no lo miraba a los ojos, River pensó que era adorable.

Podía notar el nerviosismo de Payton a su lado, él no quería eso, quería que el chico estuviera cómodo a su lado, pero Payton parecía enloquecer con los sentimientos.

"Hey" dijo empujándolo un poco por los hombros "¿Tienes hambre?"

"¡Sí!" Soltó Payton impulsivamente "Quiero decir...sí, estaría bien"

"Vamos entonces" River se puso de pie y extendió una mano hacia el chico "Te voy a preparar la mejor cena de tu vida, vas a enloquecer"

Payton rio entre dientes y tomó su mano, relajándose mientras se ponia en pie. "Pero puedo ayudarte también"

"¿Tú? ¿Sabes cocinar?" Bromeó mientras lo guiaba escaleras abajo.

"¡HEY! Por supuesto que sé como cocinar" lo acusó con una fingida voz de molestia. "No soy mis hermanos"
