Disclaimer: I don't own the boys and as far as I know this didn't happen.


Charlie's head rests on Alex's shoulder, snoring slightly. His eyes are closed from extreme exhaustion.

Outside, the lights, green and red and yellow, can only be perceived as dots floating on the streets of a deserted London, blurred by the raindrops on the window. Shining through the windows of the bus, they light up Charlie's face.

In the darkness, Alex takes a deep breath, gazing longingly to the angelic face beside him. His free hand reaches up, resting on the sleeping boy's hair, slowly smoothing out the ruffled sandy hair. The hand lingers for a bit, then subconsciously slips down and caresses the face, something he'd wanted to do for so long. His pulse speeds up as he tilts his head, leaning in to plant a kiss on Charlie's cheek.

The boy's eyelids flutter ever so slightly. Alex stops himself, indecisive. Then the hand slides down, as his head rolls back and leans against the back of the seat. He takes a deep breath, the cold chilling air clearing his mind and settling the butterflies in his stomach.

He looks out to the bright blurry dots, still twinkling, witnessing the entire happening.

Aw this is so good, I think it is better short. It represents the fleeting moment where Alex is so close to taking that final step, but then he stops himself before he can satisfy his longing. Beautiful.
