Author's Notes: This fic commemorates the one year anniversary of me writing for this Big Damn Table. XP And I still have forty-some prompts left to go... Dies Also, there really is a lunar eclipse tonight (February 20/21, 2008), but I don't get to see it because it's cloudy here. (
Disclaimer: I don't own these delightful characters.
"There's gonna be a lunar eclipse tonight."
Derek doesn't even look up from the book he's reading. "That so?"
"Yup. It'll be pretty awesome."
"No doubt."
"And the next one won't be for another two and a half years."
"That's not so far away."
"Well, no, I suppose not, but you know, carpe diem and all that. Or noctem, as the case may be."
"Seize the night? Now there's a concept I could definitely agree with." He smirks evilly at his lover.
Spencer perks up. "So does that mean you'll watch the eclipse with me?"
"Not necessarily, but I can guarantee there'll be a full moon tonight."
"Of course there will be; eclipses only happen on nights where there's a full moon." The look on his face is priceless as comprehension dawns. "Oh. That's not what you meant."
Derek can't help but chuckle as the young genius blushes furiously. "Glad to see I'm finally having some influence over you. A year ago you wouldn't have realized it was a joke until I explained it to you."
"Why do I put up with you again?"
"Because you like my full moon?"
"…"
"And because I'm willing to sit through an eclipse with you because I know it'll make you happy."
"Really?"
"Of course. But only if I get that full moon you promised me."
"Oh, trust me. You'll be seeing stars by the time I'm finished with you."
