Chapter 6: The Fireflies
I was walking right to where Nod was, when Nod pick a little stone and throw it. It went soo far that my mouth fell open. He was really strong.
" Nice throw" I shouted. Nod jumped and drop the little stone he had in his hand. He look at me, and I could see the happiness in his face. I knew what he was thinking. We had a chance, a chance to be alone and hang out.
" Hey, umm... You look nice" Nod said, with my favorite smile. He rub the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. It made me blush when he said it.
" Thanks " I said, while pulling a string of hair behind my ear. We stood there for a couple of moments, so I decided to break the silence. " So how things?" It was a really silly question, but I didn't want things to go awkward between the both of us.
" Great. Well you're here and Mub is not spying on me so is been great" Nod said. When he said "you're here" he blushed and rub the back of his neck. He look really cute when he did that. And Mub wasn't spying on him? Something really weird is going on. Mmm… I wonder what it is. But before I could wonder what it was, Nod spoke.
" There's something that I want to show you, would you like to see what it is?" Nod said while he held out his hand. I blushed. I remember the first time he show me something and it was amazing. I wonder what will be this time? That's when I noticed the sun was falling. That meant night was coming.
" Is gonna get dark soon, you know" I said. I wanted to go, but what happens if Ronin finds out and blames Nod for it.
" That's the idea, but I'm not going to say what it is." Nod said, with my favorite smile. I looked at him, and took his hand. " Don't worry, if the boggans attack, I promise I won't let anything happen to you" At this it made blushed. Again. Nod took his hand out of mind and put to fingers into his mouth and whistle. A hummingbird came out of nowhere and landed in front of Nod. He hop on and held out his hand. I grab it and hop on too. " Better hold on tight" Nod said and he lift up. I hold on to his waist, which I think he must be enjoying, I try to see where Nod was taking me. A couple of moments past when Nod dive and we landed on a tree branch. What he was going to show me? Just then the sun was gone and the moon was up. But I could barely see it since we were in such a dark place. What was Nod going to show me in such darkness?
" Nod, what are you going to show me, is so dark" I said. It was really dark and I couldn't even see Nod. I grab his arm so I wouldn't lost him.
" Good, so I guess is now is the time" Nod said. Time for what? I got a little scared at first, but then Nod knelt, cut a piece of the tree branch and throw it to the tree in front of us. I didn't know what he was doing, until a light came from the tree. A little light flash from the tree. I step forward, letting go of Nod arm, and tried to look closer, but then the whole tree light up. It was soo beautiful and gorgeous. The tree light up like a Christmas tree. I tried to look closer and then noticed what made the tree light up. Fireflies. There where Fireflies in every edge, side, angle, in every part of the tree. Fireflies cover up the whole tree, it was so magical. My eyes widen and widen at the sight of this beautiful sight. Then the fireflies started to flash on and off. It was definitely like a Christmas tree. And the thing was that my favorite holiday was Christmas. It was soo gorgeous . I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I remember that when Nod take me on a deer ride, fireflies appear, they were the same. It was too magical and gorgeous that my eyes widen so much that I think my eyes will pop out of my head. Then I was brought back to reality when Nod touch my shoulder and stand right beside me.
" You like it" Nod asked. I could feel him smile and I picture my favorite smile.
I couldn't take my eyes off the fireflies.
" No" I said. I saw Nod's face go sad when I said that, so added quickly. " I love it" I said with the widest smile I ever had in my life. With that Nod's face turn from sad to relief. I could feel his stare on me. I was still looking at the fireflies. I was so happy, the fireflies were so beautiful that they could bring happiness to anyone who saw them. I turn and saw Nod staring at me, I was correct, I looked at him and hug him. I could see he didn't expected this, but I had to.
" I missed so much, Nod" I said. I was so happy that he brought me here, but I also was happy cause I got to be with him. Nobody else, Not even Mub which was still weird but I let that go. I didn't want to ruin the moment. It was just Nod and me. That's all I wanted since I got here.
" I missed you too, M.K. You have no idea" Nod said. It made blushed. And when he said that he hug me more tightly. I wanted to kiss him, kiss him for this wonderful day. But I didn't know if I wanted to do it. I mean I want to, but I think it will go a little too far. Maybe I could kiss his cheek or maybe just hold his hand. I got to say I like holding his hand. We stayed there for a moment, still hugging, then we let go of each other and looked at each other. Nod hazel eyes look beautiful in the light. I wanted to kiss him, but I thing know if to do it or not. Then I saw Nod leaning and I started to lean too. We started to lean to each other. We were just few inches away, when the hummingbird peet. We both looked at each other. Awkward. Nod cleared his throat and rub the back of his neck. While I pull a string of hair behind my ear. I looked at him again and took his hand. He look back at me, surprised. I smile at him and he smile back at me, my favorite smile.
" Umm… I think we should, you know, go before Ronin finds out" Nod said. He was still smiling and I couldn't help but keep smiling at him. Every time I saw I smiled. I nodded.
" Yeah we should go. I start guarding Queen Jinny tomorrow" I said. Nod let out a little laugh. He look at our hands and started playing with my fingers.
" Yeah. More like a play date, Queen Jinny is really excited that you're here. She never has someone to play with, only with her mom, but she is excited that one of the girls gets to play with her. She is even letting you eat with her. Nobody has ever eating with Queen Jinny, except Ronin, of course." Nod said, with a little mocking. He look up at me and smile. " Let's go" I nodded. We walked to the hummingbird, hand-to-hand. We got on and Nod lift up. We still had our hands together. I didn't wanted to let go, and neither did Nod. We landed on the left side of Moonhaven. Maybe not to drag attention to ourselves. He hop down of the bird, still holding my hand, and help me down. We look at each other for a moment and then Nod spoke, as always.
" Well, I guess see you tomorrow" Nod said, still smiling.
" Yep, see you tomorrow" I said. I looked at our hands. I didn't wanted to let go. If I let go it will feel like when I was leaving that we let go of each other. But I had. " Good night, Nod" I said.
" Good night, M.K." Nod said. We both look at our hands and them slowly, with let go of them. I smiled at him and turn to were the stairs where. But then something came to my mind. I turn around and lucky Nod was still there. I walked to him and kiss him on the cheek. I looked up at him to see his eyes wide with surprised and then he smiled at me with my favorite smile, but this time was sweeter than ever. I was going to pull a string of hair behind my ear, when Nod hand pull a string of hair behind my ear. I stood there, shocked. The way he did it, it was slow and soft. I looked at him in the eye and smiled the sweetest smile I could give. He smiled back, with my favorite smile, is he ever going to stop.
" Well, see you tomorrow. Good night, Nod" I said. He took my hand and squeezed it.
" Good night, M.K." Nod said, Smiling. We let go of our hands and this time I went straight to the stairs. I kept climbing until I heard the sound of a bird lifting up. He was gone. My stomach turn a little, but at least I was going to see him again.
I went up to my room and started looking for some kind of pajamas. I open the closet and saw a little drawer on the side of the closet. I open it and saw 2 nightgowns. Even thought it wasn't my style, they look kind of comfortable. One was made of white rose petals and the other one of violets petals. I took the violet one and put it on. Then I went to my bed and hop on it. It was so comfy and nice. I think it was more comfortable than my bed.
I shut my eyes closed and thought of the first thing that came into my head. Nod. Tonight was one of the best nights of my life. I mean, we spending it alone, no Mub, I mean, it was perfect. It was all I was hoping to happen when I first got here. And tonight I dreamed about Nod too. Best night ever.
