amphitheater
gabe saporta / william beckett, 210 words
gabe realizes he's in love with william when they're on stage one day.
it's not a particularly beautiful day or even a spectacular set. paul wall comes out to do the rap on snakes on a plane, victoria bumps into alex and almost lose her balance, nate breaks a few drumsticks. william's hair whips around his face when the wind picks up and he starts to sing the chorus.
that's the thing about playing an amphitheater: sometimes the sun shines down on you and the crowd glows effervescent like fairy lights on a christmas tree, and sometimes you get dust particles in your eyes and have to stop goofing off long enough to rub at them and almost miss your cue for the second verse.
gabe realizes he's in love with william when they're on stage one day, bill belting out one last "goodbye" while he blinks furiously.
he opens his eyes to a blurry world, all motion and no consistency, just sound and touch and ryland patting him on the back. his eyes focus and all he can see is william beckett and the smile that is slowly creeping to his lips.
