Well this will be odd… This is my first story without any pairings involved. Which means if you think this is a fail, DON'T FLAME! Song is Fireflies by Owl City. Hope you enjoy!

Fireflies

It had been a long day. Death the kid, along with his father went on a business trip to Minnesota. It was Kid's last chance to see the beauty of fireflies, for tomorrow they would be home.

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave tear drops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

8:00 it was almost time to head home, but the fireflies hadn't come out yet. Kid wouldn't leave though, he knew there were no lightning bugs in Nevada (Author's note: It's true no fireflies are found west of Kansas)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

8:15 lightning bugs began to fold the air. All Kid could do was stand in awe.

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

8:20 Fireflies covered the skies as if the sky instantly gained 100,000 stars.

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

A single lightning bug landed on the tip of Kid's nose. He wasn't alarmed the touch was indeed quite gentle.

Leave my door open just a crack

Please take me away from here

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

Please take me away from here

Why do I tire of counting sheep?

Please take me away from here

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

Ha-ha

Shinigami-sama grabbed a jar and gently put the harmless bug in the jar.

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

Said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

Jar, jar, jar...

"We can bring him home," Shinigami-sama proclaimed," But only for a couple of days," He added. With that they were off home.

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

Kid went home with a new friend that night. Welcomed by everyone, He stayed for three nights.

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

After three days Kid and Shinigami-sama went back to release their new friend.

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Opening the jar Kid released his new friend back into the wild.

"Goodbye, my friend." Kid said.
