Summary: He can't paint Jack like that.
Warnings: none
Notes: I don't know why Jack's wandering half-naked around a forest. I've stopped asking.


A hot autumn on a college campus and Jack ambling through the trees, towel slung around his neck, swim trunks hanging low on his hips. Felix wants to paint him like that-- the long lines of his body, flip-flops stirring up debris on the forest floor, the droplets of water beaded on his skin.

He closes his eyes, takes a breath. He can't paint Jack like that. Everyone would know. But the memory is an itch under his skin, a breath he can't release, a story he can't tell.

His mind is wandering. Felix collects himself, and returns to work.
