Topic 153: Sunrise
Daybreak, September 2, 2006
Will leaned against the window, watching as the night sky began to slowly give way to the intrusion of morning. Never had he thought of a sunrise as anything but beautiful, but this one was an unwelcome sight. The warm red and orange glow only served to remind him that a beautiful night was ending and a new day was starting. He had wanted this night to last forever, wanted to savor every moment of it and never let it end for fear that he would never have anything as wonderful again.
He touched his fingers to his lips, still able to feel the warmth of sweet, stolen kisses there. His heart raced at the memory of frantic fumbling in the dark, and he couldn't help smiling at how giddy the guilty pleasure of having something he shouldn't made him feel. And that was the real problem, wasn't it? Orlando was a forbidden pleasure, something that should have been off limits. Will was in a relationship and that should have been enough to make him keep his hands to himself. But from the moment he had opened the door of his hotel room to see Orlando standing there, he'd wanted him. Spending time with him, talking and laughing with him, and finding him to be as kind and charming as he was beautiful had only made things worse. No, not worse. All of that had only made things so much better, letting Will know that he wasn't only being swayed by a handsome face. It was why Will hadn't thought twice about stealing away with him for those few precious moments and why he couldn't stop wishing things were different.
They had parted ways with a kiss outside of their rooms, both of them understanding that it would be better not to take any chances by spending the night together. Once Will was alone in his room he had known he wouldn't be able to sleep, so he'd gone to stand by the window, trying to will the world to stop turning. As the sun crept into the sky to reveal the gorgeous landscape, Will knew that he was as helpless to hold back the new day as he was to stop thinking about how much he wanted the other man. Right now Orlando was just on the other side of the wall, but he may as well have been a million miles away. The sunrise had brought with it the understanding that Will couldn't have what he wanted - neither of them was really available - so he would have to take whatever he could and treasure it.
As he sighed and turned to finally go to bed, heart heavy, Will wondered if he would ever look at a sunrise the same way again.
