Title: Starry Sky (Yes, I have resorted to stealing from the ending song, thank you very much)
Pairing: Wizard/Hikaru
Notes: This is set in the same universe as and kind of a follow up to the previous fic posted here. However, you can also read it on it's own, without reading that one first.


Starry Sky

"You know, I want to go to the mountains," she says suddenly, before leaning down to drink more of her beverage through the straw resting in the plastic cup, glancing up at him as she does so. She looks so cute when she does that, he thinks, noting how her red eyes seem to sparkle in the sunlight streaming in through the window they are sitting next to in the small café.

"The mountains?" he repeats, wondering why she would want to go there, or why she would be saying it now, to him.

Sitting back in her seat again, she nods. "Yeah. The stars are just amazing when you look at them from up there."

He thinks to himself that he doubts they look anywhere near as amazing as she does, and probably don't shine as much either. But he nods anyway, "Without all the lights from the city, the sky would be much clearer, especially at night."

She nods enthusiastically. "Right! So, I want to go." She looks at him expectantly.

"...What?"

She sighs. "Do I have to spell it out to you, Wizard?" When he doesn't answer, merely continues looking at her from across the table with those brilliant blue eyes of his, she asks, "Do you want to go to the mountains with me?"

He blinks, and she wonders if he really is so clueless that he wasn't expecting that. She wonders about him sometimes, about his poor people skills and the fact that he always seems to be alone when he's not with her. Sometimes she wants to ask about his life, to find out more about him and all that makes him who he is, but she always loses the nerve, or decides that it doesn't really matter. He is who he is, and she likes him for that. The why doesn't really seem to matter much.

"Well?" she says when he appears to still be considering her proposition.

Finally, he answers, "It'd be...fun."

"There's the spirit," she exclaims with an affirmative nod and smile, and he feels happy to have pleased her, to have said the right thing. But it is more than that; he really does want to go, he does think it'll be fun. Because he'll be with her, and if that's the case, it seems like anything in the world could be made enjoyable.
