Moonlight
The moonlight was shining down on the back yard of Dr. Thomas Oliver. Tommy himself was sitting on the back porch watching the moonlight as it hit certain parts of his yard. For some reason it calmed him down.
The moonlight could put anyone in a trance it seemed, as Tommy found himself lost in thought until someone wrapped their arms around his waist causing him to flinch.
"Sorry love" Conner said softly as he pulled back slightly.
"My fault, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing" Tommy said.
They talked to each other about their day. Conner about soccer practice and Tommy about his students, until eventually they fell into a comfortable silence.
Watching the moonlight hit Conner's face aroused something in Tommy he hadn't felt in a very, very long time. True love. He knew he would never be able to live without him.
That was exactly why he was going to teach Conner how to fight.
Tomorrow. After the moonlight left them for the evening. Right now he just wanted to watch Conner in the moonlight.
