there’s such an obvious contrast. the colors were purple and blue and pink – evident of a club like setting – to show that it was nothing more than a one night stand. now, they’re yellow, warm and more intimate, proving that their feelings have grown and that there’s love between them. before, sky was on top, keeping himself far away from prapai. that way, he was in control, and no connection was forced. but this time, sky gives himself over completely and willingly. he trusts prapai enough to lie on his back, have him over him, pressed chest to chest. he doesn’t feel like he needs an escape route, because he’s no longer afraid. sky was so eager to leave after their first time, refusing to revel in the afterglow or let a stranger creep through the cracks of the walls he has so carefully constructed. but now he stays. they sleep with nothing in between them, sky talks about his past, he allows himself to be vulnerable, because prapai has proven that he can be. it’s really a beautiful thing.
