Rivers could feel the heat in his face as he listened to Roswell talk, having thought of this moment himself for quite sometime. The scenery and situation was a little different than he'd played out in his head, being shipwrecked on an island and having just stitched Roswell up after he nearly bleed out, but he was still happy. More than happy. His heart felt like it was minutes away from beating out of his chest and not from panic like it had been only minutes before.

Without a second thought Rivers brought his hand up to rest against Roswell's jaw, pulling him in for another kiss--one that he initiated. With the kiss he was hoping that he could portray the fact that he agreed with everything Roswell had said. Rivers had felt an attraction towards Roswell since he'd met him but it wasn't until he'd gotten to know him and talked to him after their football games that he felt something more. Of course he'd always been a bit bashful when it came to relationships, probably the reason he'd never really had one before, not anything real at least. So he'd kept his feelings to himself and appreciated simply having Roswell around as a friend. Now he was happily surprised to hear that Roswell had been feeling the same way, and felt a little foolish for not admitting it earlier.

Pulling away from the kiss he ran his thumb across Roswell's cheek and nodded with a smile, green eyes searching Roswell's blue. "Yes," he admitted, carefully pressing himself closer to Roswell while still being over cautious about the other's wounded arm. "I would be more than interested in exploring those options with you."

A light chuckle left him, resting against the rock and Roswell as he let his body sag and his eyes close. "Though, as a boyfriend, might I suggest a good couple hours of rest? As much as I appreciate this development I have to say it was exhausting getting here." Another airy laugh escaped his lips as he opened an eye to peek at Roswell. "You really didn't need to nearly get yourself killed before asking me out," he told him humorously. "A drink would have been just as good."
