Ephemeral Moments
Chapter One – Glittering Blackness
Disclaimer: I have no rights to Bones or any of it's characters. Obviously. Oh, and I wont' be doing disclaimers on any following chapters. So if you want it, it's on this one.
A/N: These are just short little oneshots, at different points in time. They may follow a timeline of life a little bit, but not entirely. I didn't plan it that way. Enjoy.
Silence. An escape from reality, seemingly void of human life. A lone hillside above a bustling city, that is the nation's capital. Amid the lights coming off the city and onto the hill…two figures, lying side by side.
"It's beautiful." Temperance whispered.
"You feel like it could just swallow you up." Seeley whispered back.
"Booth, theoretically, the universe cannot swallow you up, except in the case of a black-"
"Bones, you're ruining the moment. Just enjoy the simplicity, the beauty of it all."
"Fine." She huffed, and turned her face skyward.
The sky is black, yet so clear. Not a single cloud dots the open expanse. The only lights radiate from the city and down from above. The stars twinkling, so far away from Booth and Bones. But even farther from earth.
"Some of those stars that we see twinkling may have long since died by now."
"That doesn't stop it from being beautiful."
"No, it doesn't." She says, sighing. There is a long silence, them just observing the sky.
"It's a glittering blackness." Bones finally said.
"What?"
"A glittering blackness. First you see the dark, black canvas. But sprinkled on top are the stars that make it shine, make even the blackness glow."
"I know what you mean."
"I'm glad." She said, and they just stared up in peace, enjoying each others company and how small they feel, and the beauty of creation.
Alright. First one done. I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to hit the button and tell me your thoughts.
Oh, and all these chapters are named after a song. It is NOT, by any means, a songfic. I don't do that. I already know all the names for the chapters, roughly what they'll be about, and the order in which they go in. Impressive, huh? This is the most organized I've been on fanfic ever. Alright. That's it.
