Silence
Red. Orange. Yellow. Nature's fireworks hypnotised as he stared blankly ahead. Flack loved Central Park, but he loved fall more. It was something about the languid atmosphere, the calm that envelopped the city, that made autumn his favourite season.
Don sat quietly on the bench admiring the leaves, drifting down lazily from the stark branches in a slow strip tease. He smiled to himself.
There was a padded crunch of dry leaves as a shorter man made his way towards the bench he was sitting on. As the figure approached, the silhouette made it obvious who it was.
Danny.
The shorter man sat down beside him and stared straight ahead; he was trying to figure out what Don was looking at.
"So, how long ya been out?"
"A while."
"How ya been?" Danny asked tentatively, his hands rolling and twisting a crumpled red leaf.
Don unhurriedly turned his head to look the other man in the eye, not unkindly. He opened his mouth, but no words came from the parted lips.
He closed them. And he continued to look Danny in the eye.
Danny didn't want to push it. He just stared back at the other man, his eyes uncharacteristically emotional and readable. He stared into Don's eyes and he understood.
They didn't need words.
Danny slid a little closer to Don, who leaned his head on the shorter man's shoulder. Danny interlaced their fingers and placed a chaste kiss on Don's forehead. They sat in the comfortable silence a little while longer, bodies in contact, radiating security.
"I'm here for ya, Don. Right here." he whispered.
And the words hung from the silence, the last resilient autumn leaves clutching onto the bare branches.
