AN: Guys what, everybody! Yesterday was the (I think) 116th anniversary of the Newsboy Strike of 1899! Woo-hoo! Let us celebrate the occasion with some random, pointless Javid fluff (because, you know, that's so different from what I usually write.)
Disclaimer: Still. Not. Mine.
Rainbow
"David, come out here, quick!"
The last time David heard those words, it had ended with a trip to the hospital.
David bolted up from his desk chair and sprinted down the staircase in a blur.
"What is it?" he asked in a breathless rush as soon as he made it through the back door. Jack was standing a few feet away in the wet grass. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Look!" exclaimed Jack, his eyes radiant with excitement as he pointed up at the sky.
David blinked. "…A rainbow?"
"Yeah," said Jack, his tone indicating that he wasn't impressed by David's lack of enthusiasm.
"You called me down here for a rainbow?"
"Uh-huh. Isn't it pretty?"
David smacked him in the forearm. "I thought you were injured or something, you jerk!"
Jack rolled his eyes. "I'll be sure to break my neck for you the next time I want you to look at something nice, Dave."
They stood side-by-side in silence for a while, just watching all the vibrant colors.
"It is beautiful," he finally remarked.
Jack reached over and placed a finger over David's lips. "Shh, don't talk," he whispered. "You'll ruin the moment."
Laughing, David swatted Jack's hand away and planted a quick kiss on the side of his face. "You are such a nerd."
