The boy saw a comet
Joe had always known Caspar was different. He knew it since the first time he saw him. When Joe felt bad, Caspar was there to help him up. Yes, others made him smile and laugh and he loved every single one of his friends. But Caspar was often the only one to make him feel just what his face showed.
And Joe made Caspar feel amazing as well. The way his eyes lit up just by looking at him. The way they watched TV 'till late at night, box of pizza on the side and Joe's head in his lap. Those secret glances, the sneaky looks both of them still didn't quite knew the meaning of.
Whenever they were around each other they were happy and smiling. There has been an argument, long ago… Heartbroken, lovesick, headache and hangover. Caspar alone in the flat. Joe with Zoe. Until they were forced to see each other again. When Caspar saw the pain in Joe's eyes, he just couldn't be angry anymore. Whilst the older boy looked away shyly he picked him up in a bone crushing hug. Muttering soft apologies in his ear. Joe just hugged back, unable of letting go. When they finally did, both of them were red-faced and puffy-eyed. But throughout the tears you could see the happiness shining of the friends.
Today, Joe decided, it was the day. Yes, they were friends, very good ones indeed. But.. what if... just maybe…
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on his roommate's door.
Caspar? Are you-
Caspar looked at him, tears in his eyes. Silently, he turned his computer screen to show Joe the video he had been watching. It was a Jaspar edit…
The boy saw a comet and he felt as though his life had meaning…
He muttered standing up. As he made his way closer to Joe the latter was struck with realisation.
The boy… It's me isn't it?
Caspar smiled, remembering the time Joe had told him he looked like a shooting star with a halo of light around his head. The time they fell asleep on the couch watching The Notebook, fingers intertwined.
You deserve to be the comet Casp, without you I'd be nothing.
Joe took another step, getting on his tiptoes and softly kissing Caspar on the lips.
Please don't go away again?
Never…
Heeey guys! This was just a quick oneshot inspired by a Jaspar edit I saw earlier. I hope you like it and if you do please leave a review! :)
