jamie has always loved the city. growing up in toronto had instilled in him a love for the noise and movement that a city provides, the near constant background noise of cars and people and life that colour its character and being.

anaheim is no different, and his and trevor's roof provides a perfect glimpse into both the quiet of suburbia and an overview of the city, the echoes of cars just barely reaching his ears, a perfect backdrop for playlist-filled nights. or, nights like this one, where jamie has been grinding on the guitar for weeks and just—

"i just..." he trails off, looking up at trevor, "i've been—i've been working on this for... i like this song, so just no playlist for now."

"jamie, do you ever think i'm going to say no to free music, c'mon," trevor plops both himself and the speaker down on the roof, all criss cross apple sauce and patiently waiting for jamie to start. it makes him rub his fingers nervously over the frets of his guitar, and he takes a deep breath. he can hear a car going down the street near them.

"alright. alright." jamie breathes, and starts strumming.

besides the distant rumble of the city the roof is quiet, and the opening chords echo out into the night. jamie doesn't look up at trevor's face, because if he sees it he might stumble over a lyric or fumble his fingering and he really wants to get through this perfectly, just like he's been practising.

he opens his mouth and starts to sing.

now, as he had discovered through much trial and error, singing while playing is hard, because multitasking is hard. he'd never been one of those people who could use two parts of his brain like that, never been one to chirp while stick handling his way towards the goal. he's sure if trevor ever set his one track mind on performing some taylor swift song he could do it in a week, at the longest. but, jamie had powered through the way his brain had almost made his hands just stop working as he sang, and now here he is.

thinking about it now, taylor swift might have been a bit more straight forward than a song his mother used to play in the car, but trevor had been the one to introduce him to taylor swift, and all feelings he has about her and her music are entwined inextricably with trevor.

he needed to convey something more, so joni mitchell it was.

this song especially invokes a certain feeling in his heart, a special ache for the simplicity that comes along with childhood, the basic love of the world that comes from being young, the feeling of finding joy in the simple once again, the simplicity of trevor's smile and the way his eyes crinkle and the way he makes jamie's life feel simple again, makes him feel the way his golden-coated childhood memories do.

trevor is a boy wrapped in the warm yellow glow of nostalgia, classic and yet by jamie's side all the same, solid and real and touchable in the way memories are not. he's everything jamie's ever wanted and more.

jamie glances up and catches a glimpse of trevor, his golden-glow boy, staring at him in what looks like a euphoric combination of shock and awe.

his jaw is slack, his phone in his hands but lowered, camera pointed towards jamie like he was taking photos and was shocked stupid by jamie's singing, by his playing, by the song he's playing for trevor.

his eyes flit back down to his hands as the song wraps up, the last few chords echoing out into the night until it's once again city-silent. the sun is setting on trevor's face, taking him from golden through to red.

he's still got a shocked look on his face, but it's slowly morphing into a smile as he realizes jamie is looking up at him, and he places his phone to the side slowly, coming up onto his knees in a sort of aborted crawl move.

"jamie," he breathes, and jamie looks him in the eyes before flicking his gaze away, towards the city, because trevor looks intense. his gaze his dark, and the smile on his face is one jamie has only seen out of the corner of his eyes, directed to him in moments where he wasn't supposed to be looking, almost like it was a secret that trevor had to steal when jamie wasn't looking.

“jamie, that was incredible, i—” trevor reaches out and grabs the guitar out of jamie’s hands, placing it gingerly to the side and shuffling ever closer, kneeling in front of jamie and bringing up the same hand that had wrapped around the neck of the guitar to move it up to jamie’s face, cupping it just as softly as he’d grabbed the guitar.

the soft clang that the guitar strings made when the instrument was placed down echoes in jamie’s ears as he looks back at trevor.

“jamie,” he breathes again, and leans in to close the small distance between them, pressing their lips together. trevor’s lips are soft, and his chin is slightly scratchy against jamie’s. one of jamie’s hands comes up to the back of his neck to keep trevor pressed up on him and he can feel a smile spread on trevor’s lips into the kiss. 

he pulls away and smiles at jamie, and there’s the golden eye crinkle that jamie loves so much, and his heart almost explodes. 

“you learnt a song for me,” trevor murmurs, and jamie hums.

“yeah, i did,” he says, and trevor’s smile widens. 

“you’re such a sap.” 

he leans back in, connects their lips again, and jamie thinks that if being a sap could get trevor like this, than he’s glad to do it any time.

ANYWAY !!! HOPE THIS IS FINE :D!!! GLAD U LIKED MY ART THANK U
