025. Fireworks

"Awww! No" Pip's voice was decidedly distressed. He pouted, leaning against the window frame as the rain came down in a torrential downpour.

"If it keeps raining like this we wont be able to see the fireworks" Pip said with a frown as he turned to look back at Damien. He actually looked like he might cry. Damien raised an eyebrow. He didn't see what exactly the big deal with fireworks was. After all, it was just a few chemicals being set on fire. Something he could replicate quite well.

"It's early. It'll stop raining by then," He said with a small nod as he walked over behind the blond, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy. Pip let out a sigh but said nothing, instead just snuggled against the warm embrace.

The two boys stayed in this position for a while. Damien closed his eyes lightly and even managed to fall into a light doze. That is…until he was awoken abruptly by Pip's happy exclamation.

"Look! It's stopped!" Pip said happily. Damien's eyes snapped open and he jumped slightly.

"What?" Damien asked sleepily, rubbing his eye gently.

"The rain. It stopped, just like you said" Pip said, the smile so wide on his face that Damien thought it would break in half. Even the sun had come out behind the blond just in time to set and it looked like it was going to be a beautiful night. Pip pulled out of Damien's embrace and ran up the stairs, going to get ready for the show. Damien, on the other hand, stuffed his hands into his pockets and narrowed his eyes lightly.

"Come on" Pip tugged on Damien's hand lightly towards the door. Damien blinked a few times. How did Pip get down here so fast? Damien shook his head and dismissed the question and fallowed the blond out of the house, only stopping to lock the door behind them.

The two walked hand in hand to the park and Damien had to literally keep Pip from skipping. Pip was just too excited for his own good. When the two finally found a good spot, Pip pulled a large blanket out of his book bag and laid it out on the grass. Damien plopped down beside Pip and leaned back, holding himself up with his palms.

"Why are you so excited?" Damien asked Pip curiously, his eyebrow cocked in curiosity. Pip looked back at the other boy and frowned slightly, thinking of just why exactly he wanted to see the fireworks so badly.

"Well probably because I've never seen them before" Pip smiled and shifted over, settling between Damien's legs and leaning against him. Damien nodded, that made sense. The two boys chatted about random things that had happened during their day before being silenced by the loud screech of one of the first fireworks.

Pip leaned foreword; his eyes wide and his mouth open with his lips twitched up in a small smile. Damien looked at the other boy rather than at the fireworks and slipped his arms around Pip's waist. He then let his crimson gaze travel up, watching the explosions with an almost bored expression.

Just as the grand finally was starting, Damien leaned up so his face was millimeters from Pip's ears. "I love you Pip" Damien said and as Pip turned to look at him, face flushed red. Damien kissed the boy and let his eyes drift shut.
