Roswell nodded and smiled at the delicate touch against his forehead "Yeah, I feel fine now." Roswell said quietly, thumb moving slowly across Rivers shoulder and his head dropping to the other shoulder that he wasn't holding. "I didn't mean to scare you, Riv. I didn't expect any of this to happen, either... I thought it would be an easy fight." Roswell said quietly, landing his injured hand gently against Rivers' thigh, fingers moving up and down slowly, it hurt a little but it was manageable, and at least he still had movement in that hand.

"But, I definitely think we need to talk... about whatever is going on here." Roswell commented quietly, tilting his head a bit so he and Rivers were more eye-to-eye. He cleared his throat awkwardly, having had a speech prepared for this moment for such a long time. He had feelings for Rivers longer than he could remember and it was definitely a little strange bringing it up, especially now when they were stranded on an island... But, then again - They also couldn't go anywhere, so now also seemed rather perfect. Fate intervening in their lives perfectly.

"I'll be the first to admit that I have had feelings for you for some time now. Probably since you joined the football team..." he said quietly, reaching his hand up that had been resting on Rivers' shoulder to lightly take the back of Rivers' head in his hand, bringing their faces a little closer "I won't say that I love you, but it might be true that I have deeper feelings that could easily be persuaded in that direction. I want to make us official, Riv... I want to be more than just your friend and teammate, I want to be... I want to be your boyfriend." Roswell said quietly, leaning in to kiss Rivers on the lips softly, lingering for just a few minutes longer than necessary before he pulled back just enough to rest their foreheads together "Would you be interested in exploring those options, with me?"
