Fire In Full Bloom

"Master Howl! Someone's here!" Markl yelled as Heen barked rather loudly at whoever was at the door. A somewhat cool summer breeze blew in through the open door as the bright evening sun glowed over the Wastes, making the mountains glitter uncharacteristically gold.

"Mm...wha...?" Howl yawned as he sat up from their deep red couch.

Draping an arm across the back of the couch, he squinted his eyes from the blazing sun, "Ah...it's you again." Howl smiled as the reflection from the silver-white scales danced off of his blue orbs.

"Good evening Howl." A low grumbled voice spoke as the dragon that stood in the doorway bowed.

"Do you need help with anything like fixing a broken clock or make clothes put away themselves..." The raven haired listed as he made his way to the front door.

As the wizard leaned against the door frame with his forearm, the dragon turned into the one and only Haku, "Do you have any fireworks?"

Howl tilted his head in curiosity, "What for?" Green eyes sparkled with glee as Haku smirked.

"What'd you bring me out here for?" Fujimoto shivered as he stood in the sand beside his lover, the nozzle of his water-machine tightly gripped in his hand.

"I think Haku wanted to show us something." Howl grinned as he gently pulled the red head down into his lap, placing the water-machine on the side while wrapping his arms around his lover. It was 7:30 and the sun was already setting. Fujimoto buried his face into the raven haired's neck, trying to get warm.

A moment later, colorful blossoms of light covered the partly dark sky, "Look Fuji!" Howl lightly shook Fujimoto as he gazed up at the sky, his excitement shining brighter than the stars.

Grey eyes grew wide as the red haired gasped, "Wow..." As they took a moment to watch the fireworks explode into different colors and shapes, people began gathering on the beach.

"Ahh! Humans!" Fujimoto hissed as he tried to stare down the many couples and families that seemed to multiply in a blink of an eye.

"Relax," Howl chuckled as he placed a kiss on the red haired's forehead then a longer-lasting kiss on his lover's lips, "They're just having a romantic evening like us." The raven haired laughed as he placed another kiss on his lover's frowning lips. Fujimoto continued to frown as he tried to stare the wizard down but as he giggled uncontrollably, he realized that he just can't stay mad at the blue-eyed man. The red head jokingly punched Howl's shoulder before engulfing the raven haired in a searing hot kiss.

Oblivious to the world, as the fireworks had its final burst of light, two dark shadows melted into one and slowly disappeared among the mounds of sand.

In the early hours of dawn, a small shadow slowly came toward the sleeping couple in the sand. Putting a warm blanket over the two, green eyes seemed to glow in the dark as the figure kneeled next to a certain raven haired.

As Howl dreamily slept with an equally oblivious Fujimoto in his arms, Haku leaned over until his lips were a breath away from the raven haired's ear, "Happy Fourth of July, Howl." He whispered then curled up in the crook of the wizard's arm, his nose buried deep in Howl's side.

Being slightly moved, blue eyes blinked open. The raven haired softly gasped, realizing that another body was next to him. Howl chuckled as he wrapped an arm around the boy, burying his nose in those black locks, "Thank you, Haku." Falling back into a deep sleep, the three slept on as the warm orange sun crept up over the horizon, bringing in a brand new day.
