Work Text:
It was a morning of a Bogart movie, in a country where time was turned back, I was walking through the crowd as if I was watching a crime, until.... a boy with short wavy hair runs out from behind the sun with some beautiful leather pants, like a watercolor in the rain.
***
The boy was very beautiful, but what surprised me is that his figure was coming towards me, and in a blink of an eye, he was already in front of me, he was surprised and a little nervous.
***
"Hello!" He said with a very happy tone.
-H..Hello-I replied a little blushed
-What's your name?,My name is Jim -
-M..My n..name-
(R's soliloquy)
Do not be silly! I don't have to bore him by telling him explanations! Just tell him your name, because with his presence he already told you that the year of the cat has arrived.
That's it, the year of the cat!
And that's what inspired me to get to where I've come, Just wait for the end!
***
-My name is Ray.
-Nice to meet you Ray!
-Hey, can I ask you something?-
-Yes, of course- I said a little confused.
-Can I accompany you? What happens is that I've been a bit lonely in the last few days, nobody wants to be my friend, I ask them their names but none of them answered, until you did!
-Oh, that surprises me-
-You know, I've also felt that way-
I wanted to ask him why he wanted to accompany me but...
(Ray's soliloquy)
Wait a minute, he doesn't give you time to ask questions, he just takes the opportunity for him to accompany you and we'll see if I win his heart.
And that's what I set out to do, win J's heart, since he made my heart sink the moment I first saw him.
***
"Then you won't be alone anymore," he said as he chained his arms with his.
"Doesn't it bother you that I chain my arms?"
-Not at all, on the contrary, I love it-
-Oh... thanks Ray- He said as he blushed
God was very beautiful his face blushing his, how is it that a person could be so adorable?
His blue eyes gave him a touch of perfection and to top off his wavy brown hair, he asked myself... How did I get so lucky?
***
-Hey Ray!-
-Yes, Jim?-
-Catch Me If You Can!-
And he started running, and I started to follow him.
And there we were, two complete strangers (Although they were already getting to know each other) chasing each other
and I followed him until... my sense of direction... completely disappeared! I never felt so lost in my life!
But it was worth it, until I saw it through the blue walls near the market.
And he went back to the path, but he took me to a hidden door, and we both went in there.
***
Right in that place he told me
-Hey you know what?-*agitated*
-Yes?-*agitated*
He told me while we leaned against one of those blue walls
-These days, I have felt my life like a running river-*agitated*
-Really?-*excited*
-Yes, Ray! How do you think I would be kidding you with that!-
-Okay Jim, I believe you-
And there I was realizing that he was enjoying a little with The Year of the Cat
***
And so the days flew by and I did not feel that the days passed since with the presence of Jim by my side, they were like hours and hours, but I never felt that the days passed, he was the first who spoke to me when I arrived to the city as a tourist and he also felt the same, we both needed to fill a void in our hearts and we were successful, and that's how the days were when I was in that place, accompanied by my sweet company, if that's the way it is, I mean Jim.
Until one day when we went to the beach, we had an incredible time putting our feet in the sand, getting wet with warm water from the sea, since there was a lot of sun, and what surprised me the most is that Jim knew how to write and repeat poems, it was very beautiful reciting them and writing them at the same time, and how do you think I discovered it? Well, easy! Accidentally I was looking for him and I found him between two palm trees and he was sitting between the sand and the icing on the cake is that it was getting dark and the sky turned a very beautiful orange color and the sun was hiding between the two palm trees.
***
-Hey Jim!-
-Ahh!- petrified scream
-Oh, it's you Ray-
-I'm sorry I scared you-
"It's okay, come here! "He said as he patted his hand in the sand, I agreed and sat next to him
And I thought it was the right time to tell him what my heart felt for him.
-Hey, Jim...I want to tell you something-
-Of course, and what is it?-
And so he and I began to share glances, he looked at me so coldly, with a face of What are you going to do idiot?
while his eyes shine like the moon in the sea in his blue eyes that looked like sapphires and his smell came from incense and patchouli.
***
-Give me your hand Jim-
-Sure Ray-
He would put his hand on mine and so I stood up and picked Jim up, and we began to walk hand in hand on the sand and we stopped in a place where the evening light hit a place where there was a palm grove and in the center there was a clear space with grass and many flowers and in that place it was exactly where the light hit.
And so I take it, to find what awaits us inside.
***
-Hey Jim, I wanted to tell you what I've been hiding during these weeks-
-And what is that?-
-Is that...-
-It's just, WHAT!-
-I love you Jim!-
-What you what?!-
When I said I loved him, he turned like a tomato and covered his face with both of his hands.
-I love you with all my strength, since the day you approached me, my heart was crushed-
And in an act of surprise, Jim hugged me with all his might
-I love you too Ray, your company filled the emptiness I had in my heart-
And it was like that at the moment that I couldn't resist anymore, I licked my lower lip and kissed it on those beautiful lips that I have always resisted
And Jim kissed me back, and that's how we kissed in a passionate and slow kiss next to the moonlight that illuminated us two lovers who met in the middle of the street in The Year of the Cat.
***
《The next day》
And the morning came and we were both in my apartment that I had there since I was on vacation, we were in bed and Jim was in my arms and the bus and the tourists were gone.
-Good morning Jim-
-Good morning Ray-
Jim turned to look at the clock on the table next to his bed and it was 11:00 a.m. and the bus left at 9:00 a.m.
-Oh Ray!? Did you send your ticket to fly?
Jim said, looking very petrified
-Yes Jim-
-But why did you do it?!-
-You know I don't want to hurt your feelings, but sometimes I've been tempted to abandon you and for you to stay here alone-
-But I don't have the heart to do that to you and so I decided to stay with you here-
-You really did that!-
-Yes Jim, because I love you and I have never loved someone like you-
-Oh honey-
-I love you too!-
He told me while he hugged my chest and I hugged him too, and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
And that's how I stayed with Jim in... The Year of the Cat.
