jonah was only going to be in france for another month. four weeks. thirty-one days.
daniel sighed at the fact that he'd be leaving soon. he placed his paint brush down and stared at the canvas he had just painted.
it was him and jonah, laying down in the field. jonah's spot. he had remembered every single one of jonah's details. his dimples, the way his cheeks turned scarlet when daniel grabbed his hand, everything. daniel smiled at the painting as he got up and stripped himself of his paint clothes, and slipped on some fresh ones from his drawers.
he laced up his chuck taylors converse and grabbed his painting, heading downstairs. he grabbed a apricot from the kitchen before heading outside.
"daniel!" daniel furrowed his brows as he turned at the sound of the voice. "aline." he thought as he watched the girl walk down his drive. "are you busy right now? i know i'm supposed to schedule an appointment but i forgot to!"
"baise moi." daniel mumbled. "yeah, aline, i'm a bit busy right now." daniel said as she approached him.
"damn it! i was hoping you wouldn't be. i'd really like to be painted again."
"maybe later, i have to go somewhere." daniel mumbled, sliding his painting into his bike's basket.
"oh. are you delivering a painting?" she asked, pointing to the bike basket. daniel glanced over at it.
"yeah, i am actually. maybe tomorrow if i'm not busy i'll give you a call, i can paint you then, yeah?" aline rolled her eyes.
"i suppose. bye, daniel."
"au revoir." daniel said, cringing as aline kissed his cheek before leaving the property. "putain." daniel mumbled as he got onto his bike, kicking up the kickstand, and pushing off. he quickly biked past aline, heading down the sidewalk to jonah's place.
he smiled at the thought of jonah.
"god i love him!" daniel said as he biked faster. "i have to tell him how i feel."
as daniel approached jonah's house, he slowed down and hopped off, grabbing the painting from his basket, and propping his bike up on the kickstand. he smiled as he made his way into jonah's house, knocking.
one of jonah's small siblings was playing in the dining room.
"are you here for jo?" daniel smiled.
"yeah, i am. can you tell me where he is?" the boy nodded.
"he's in the pool outback." daniel nodded.
"thank you!" he said, ruffling the child's hair. he headed through the house and out the back doors. "jonah!" he called, jogging down to the pool.
"hey, daniel. what are you doing here?" jonah asked, a big smile on his face. he crossed his arms, resting them on the edge of the pool.
"i brought you something." daniel said as he held the painting out for jonah. the older of the two stared at it for a moment.
"wow." jonah mumbled. "this is beautiful, daniel." jonah said, looking up at daniel.
"you think so?"
"oh i know so."
"je t'aime." daniel said, taking a deep breath in.
"je t'aime aussi." jonah said, placing the painting down on one of the pool chairs. then, he grabbed daniel's arm and yanked him into the pool.
"god dammit jonah!" daniel yelled when he emerged from the water, running his hands through his now wet hair. jonah laughed at daniel as he pulled off his drenched shirt and shorts, throwing them onto another pool chair. next off was his shoes and socks. "you're such an asshole sometimes." daniel said as jonah wrapped his arms around his waist.
"well i'm your asshole." jonah said, leaning his head on his lover's shoulder.
"i don't know what i'm going to do when you are gone." daniel said. "i'll never find another boy like you."
"we'll meet again after i leave, i promise."
