Fics like The past is a foreign country

If Paul notices how vicious the winter snaps at him, he doesn’t show it. Snow takes a second to appreciate his golden hair before melting away, it’s like honey against the greys and blues of the station. He is a flower growing in this cold, meant for poetry and butterflies. “I’d better go.” He nods, walking away. Albert must look stupid standing there, mouth opened slightly, staring through the dark curls he hasn’t bothered to push out of his eyes. Willing Paul to change his mind with every bone in his body is an old habit, practically a favorite of his. Of course, He has lived through too many ordeals to know that hoping does nothing to change outcomes. His friend continues to retreat. I love you he thinks, and pronounces it “Goodbye.”
