A/N: This is actually my second try at doing Twilight fanfiction, so hopefully it's okay. I'm doing a 10 prompt challenge, and I chose Edward/Bella.
09. moon
For a change, the moon was actually visible in Forks. It tended to be hidden behind dark clouds, murky and faded from view. It was thin, but still there. Only a few wispy black clouds floated in front of it. Bella snuggled a little deeper into the quilt wrapped around her and shifted positions just slightly against Edward. His cold arms rested protectively over hers. His eyes were closed and he was humming something to himself. It wasn't something Bella recognized.
They were outside. It was summer, so it was pretty warm out, but not enough to prevent the chills she sometimes got from cuddling with her boyfriend. Leaning back her head, she continued to gaze up at the sky. Here and there, stars dotted the sky. A thought occurred to her as she thought about the fact the moon would wane again and become a new moon.
"Things are constantly changing, aren't they, Edward?"
"Hm? They don't usually for me. Or most other vampires. Sometimes it gets to be monotonous. At least I have you to break that up for me now." He smiled crookedly at her.
Bella smiled back shortly, shaking her head before her expression seemed curious again. "Maybe. But things do change. Even if you don't want them to. Sort of like how no one can stop the moon from changing. It will continue to wax and wane, on and on and on. No matter where we are, or what we're doing."
Edward was silent a moment, squeezing Bella in a gentle hug. "That is true but ... why are you even thinking about that?"
"I-I don't really know, I guess. It just popped into my head and I said it. Truthfully, I think it's kind of a depressing thought." She frowned.
"No one likes feeling out of control of things, love. Especially you." He teased at the end.
Bella grumbled at that, knowing it was mostly true.
Edward kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Nothing is going to change anytime soon, Alice would have seen it. So, no more worries."
She nodded slowly, closing her eyes as he began to hum her lullaby this time. Still, she almost felt like something nagged at the corner of her mind, that just on the horizon, something loomed. Shrugging it off, she instead focused on Edward's smooth voice, pushing away the thoughts of an unwanted shift in her life. And forgetting, at least for a time, about the changes of the moon.
