A polished marble stone, marking a spot overlooking the beautiful valley, just over the ridge from their home.
It marked the perfect place to sit and watch a beautiful Colorado sunrise. A place to see the rising morning mist turn a dazzling gold as the sun's rays danced through them. A place to watch as the sun sinks below the distant mountains around the valley, panting the sky a stunning orange and coloring the clouds bright pinks and purples. It was a place that one could lay back, and look up at the millions of stars, only visible far away from the lights of the city.
A polished marble stone, marking the place where great friend and an amazing brother will forever lay.
Cali landed with a gentle thump, before walking over to where the single person still stood in front of polished marble stone.
Quietly approaching, she shifted the jacket over her arm to her hand, as she stopped behind him.
"It's getting cold," Cali said softly, noting how he gazed down at the stone with dull eyes. "Do you want to head back soon?"
"Yeah," Nate sighed, bowing his head, before accepting the black jacket that Cali handed him.
"You know, he wouldn't blame you," Cali said, as he pulled it on, his snowy hair contrasting sharply with the all black that he wore.
"I saw that man, I should have–" Nate said, his eyes clenching shut.
"There was no way you could have known that it would have happened," Cali quickly cut him off, glaring at his back slightly. "We both know that he would just smile and tell you it wasn't your fault, and to stop blaming yourself."
Nate sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly, "Yeah, he would say that."
Cali gazed at his back, before asking, "….Are you alright?"
Nate nodded, "I'm fine."
He tilted his head back, his bangs shadowing his eyes, "But it's a shame, for it to rain on a day like this…"
Cali looked up at the clear blue sky, in confusion, "But, it isn't rain–"
"No. It's raining," Nate cut her off, as she saw a stream of tears run down his face.
Well, anyone who's watched Fullmetal Alchemist should recognize this last part, and that I do not own it.
And, this is it! Flocks Collide has officially finished! \^.^/
