The scene takes place during their walk to the Pointe Courte in Sète.
J : - I missed so much seing the colors in this place and the reflection of the sun in the water.
R : - You're talking like you could see it right now.
Jack stays silent looking to the water in front of them.
Rayane frowns in confusion.
R: - Wait ....you can see, don't you ?
Jack looks straight into rayane's eyes for the very first time and smiles at him. His heart is pounding hard into his chest and his hands are sweating.
Rayane's face lights up. He seems full of life all of a sudden.
R: - Oh my god you can see ! That's wonderful man !
He grabs Jack in a tight hug. Then he takes a small step back while keeping his hands on Jack's both arms.
R: - Can you see everything ? Can you see me ? Did you woke up like this? How does it feel ?
Rayane cannot stop his excitement. He looks like an happy puppy.
J : - Yeah.... I can see you really clearly now.
Jack blushes.
J: - I wanted to tell you for a while now, but everything was so dark and blurry at first. I wasn't sure it would get much better. So I wainted those last few weeks for my vision to be completely back to tell anyone.
Rayane's smile slowly fades away, his hands leaving Jack's body.
R : - Few...weeks ? What do you mean weeks ?
Jack feels his throat getting tight.
R: - You haven't told me for weeks ? What th...You didn't...What?
his voice cracks.
Rayane has suddently watery eyes and seems broken. Jack wants to throw up seing him like this but no words seems able to leave his mouth so he remains silent. Only his hand automatically move in Rayane direction but the boy steps back out of his reach. One tears falls down his face. Rayane quickly wipes it out. The sadness fades away on his face to let place to anger . Jack feels like an heavy stone fell inside of him. This is worst than everything he expected when imagining this conversation.
Rayane turns around and starts walking away from him.
J : - Rayane ! Wait !
Jack runs to catch his hand without letting Rayane a chance to free himself from his grip.
J: - I was terrified okay !
Jack is almost shouting in despair. Rayane surrenders turning around to face him again.
J: - I thought you wouldn't want to hang out as much if I didn't need your help. That you wouldn't want to be seen so close to me anymore...
Jack is now looking at his feet and talking with a smaller voice. He holds on Rayane's hand like if he was holding on for dear life. Rayane's eyes soften.
J: - I was scared. Scared of losing you. I wasn't ready for you to leave me yet. I was being selfish. I'm so sorry if you feel like I betrayed your trust. It wasn't my intention.
Rayane relaxes, starts to giggle and gets closer to Jack.
R : - You're an idiot ! I would have found ANY possible excuses to keep spending time with you, you know?
He intertwined their fingers and moves his head to catch Jack's gaze.
R: - I'm not going anywhere Jack. I don't want to.
Jack lets out a breath he hadn't realised he was holding and feels a warmth grow in his stomach while Rayane caresses his hand with his thumb and looks in his eyes with a cheeky smile.
Jack puts his other hand on Rayane's cheek and brings his lips so close that he can feel his breath against his skin. He waits to see if rayane would turn him down or not. Their noses brushes against each other but Rayane doesn't move away. Jack is overwelmed by the smell of his parfum all around him. He thinks that he could stare at Rayane's clear eyes for the rest of his life. Their breath are getting faster. At some point Jack can't wait any longer and finally presses their lips together. It's soft, it's sweet, it makes sense for both of them. Jack feels goosebumps all the way down his spine. Rayane put his arms around Jack's waist to bring him even closer as the kiss intensify and gets deeper. All the tension built up is finally realesed in tenderness. At this moment nothing exist around them anymore.
They end up being both breathless staring at eachother. They're sharing a moment of pure joy and serenity before Rayane shivers. The boy probably remembering they're in public, starts to look around with worry. He's relieved when he founds out they are truly alone out there.
J : - I'm so glad I can see how stunning you are right now.
Jack wisper before kissing Rayane's already bright red cheek.
R: - I told you you didn't know what you were missing.
Rayane is joking as usual but Jack can tell the boy is sincerely moved.
