SweetTooth Week 2016: Day 2 (Stargazing)
Short and sweet for today's prompt. Enjoy! :D
UNDER THE STARS WITH YOU
"And that is Morsimus, he fought on the first battle that would help create the Golden Age." Bunnymund pointed towards the dark blue sky covered with bright dots. The cool night hair ruffled the leaves of the trees
Tooth gave him a look. "Ok, now I know you're making this up. That is the Southern Cross and those three stars are part of Centaurus."
"No, I'm not." The pooka scoffed. "It's not my fault the humans renamed them and messed 'em up!"
She chuckled as he continued to complain that humans always felt the need to rename stuff, and even related how he once had spent days arguing with some of the astronomers on how one of the constellations was in fact egg-shaped.
Tooth scooted closer, enjoying the date he had planned. It had been a while since she had just stopped working, sat down on the grass and looked at the sky. The fairies had assured them that they would take care of everything; the tingling sensation at the back of her head that told her when a tooth was placed under its pillow had been silent all night. Even the moon was absent from the sky to make it a perfect night for the stars to shine their best, which was strange since the moon wouldn't be on its new moon phase for a couple of days.
She pointed at several stars and recounted how her father had taught her how to use the sky and its celestial forms to guide herself through her jungles when she was little, a smile curling the corners of her mouth. Bunny listened enraptured. He loved her expression when she told him about her childhood and would laugh at how her curiosity and stubbornness would sometimes get her in troubles.
"Do you know that one?" He traced her finger. It pointed towards Sagittarius. He shook his head. Of course he knew the constellation but he allowed her to speak, wanting to listen and enjoy her explanation.
At some point, Tooth noticed he was looking at her intently while she talked on about the "silly human constellations" – which had made her laugh –, and it made her blush. "Do I have something on my face?"
"No" Aster pulled her closer, her form fitting perfectly against his, and gave her a light peck on her nose. "You just looked really cute right now."
Turning over, her chin resting on her hands folded over his chest, she leaned forward to kiss him. A minute passed before they pulled away.
"I love you, Bunny." She murmured with a smile as she placed her head against his chest.
"Me too, sheila."
They stayed under the stars for a while longer, enjoying being so close to the other and feeling truly blessed.
Hope you enjoyed!
