Heartstopper Inktober 2K24

19 - Ridge (RPF!AU P2)

He honestly wishes he wasn't leaving tomorrow.

Seriously, if he didn't have commitments back home, this is exactly where Kit would want to be. On the step of this trailer, cocoa in hand, watching his boyfriend in his dark academia American teenager era as the sunset over the ridge of some landscape nearby wherever they were filming in Atlanta.

Joe always looks amazing in his eyes regardless of what he's doing, but here in the forest and surrounded by bright colours, he stands out - a dark and tall figure that's almost elegant if it wasn't for the ripped jeans and grey jumper he wore as part of his costume.

The eyeliner he's wearing suits him as well, hell, the circlet that marks his sudden reveal as Wiccan for Agatha All Along looks like it was made for him (it most likely was, now he thinks about) as it sits under his curls.

God, he must look a right sight, thirsting openly over his boyfriend. He doesn't exactly care though, as seeing Joe grin at him from where he's standing next to his co stars just reminds him why he's here.

Sure, this was Marvel and that was cool and all that opportunity wise (plus he's sure if Nick Nelson were a real person that seeing someone looking like Charlie on the TV would make his entire world), but he was really here for Joe.

His lovely supportive boyfriend Joe, who's stuck through thick and thin with him during his forced coming out and revealing of their relationship. He's slightly more famous than him now and could do so much better, but he is his and he's not taking that for granted. Not ever.

Like he said, if he didn't have stuff to do, like filming for Heartstopper that Joe didn't need to be around for or wasn't in talks to possibly do another theatre gig later on either this year or next, he wouldn't.

He'd glue himself here if it meant that every time he watched Joe act that he could see his eyes on him. It sounded awfully possessive, but Kit can say he was allowed to be.

Speaking of eyes, there's a pair on him now, looking past all the cameras and all the lights and straight to him.

See what he means? Hayley Atwell was right as his Aunt Dianne. He was as smitten as Nick was.

So he grins, deciding to be a little silly and holding his thumbs up from his seat like a parent watching a child on stage and watching as Joe laughs from his place, catching some other eyes as he calls out "You're doing great sweetie!" and earning some laughs from the crew.

Joe, of course, flipped him the double bird after hiding his face for a moment and Nick just laughs, blowing him a kiss in response that makes him roll his eyes, but smile.

Yeah, that's his Joe.
