Fics like Unfamiliar Endearments

Nicolò set aside the water skins to refill at the river and stood to take off his boots and clothes. As he finished peeling off his breeches and socks, he turned to face the river and froze. Yusuf had just risen from the water. He stood knee deep in the calm current, clear liquid streaming down his skin, setting him alight in a glittering display, like twinkling stars, as the sun highlighted every perfect feature. Nicolò stood transfixed. Rivulets of water cascaded all over Yusuf’s body. His skin glowed a deep bronze, giving off an aura of vitality and strength. Water droplets fell from the tight, dark curls at his brow, framing his face in a curtain of water, his beard shimmering in the sunlight, and then in a move that had Nicolò’s heart stopping in his chest, he lifted both hands overhead to sweep his hair off of his face, running them up and back over his head, accentuating his broad chest, covered in a light dusting of hair, that tapered into a narrow waist and deep grooves of muscles that rippled around his rib cage. Or, Nicolò cannot control his reaction to Yusuf and feels horrible about it, but Yusuf is elated to finally have a sign that his feelings are returned.
