Does that make this blog the Chateau for Mutsurie lovers?
AU where Shirazu is 100% alive. Clearly, I like this AU.
Star light, star bright…
“Please kill it,” whimpers Aura.
Higemaru had not pegged Aura for the type to be afraid of spiders. “You sure?”
“Why not rescue it?” Shirazu is fascinated by its creepy pinched legs. As long as it stays far away.
Saiko yawns across the campfire. “I’m sleepy.”
“Me too,” Hsaio announces. She follows Saiko to their ‘female’ tent.
Higemaru yawns. “Guess we should sleep, too.”
“Urie’s already sleeping.” Shirazu tickles their Squad Leader, who screams awake.
Even Mutsuki has to laugh.
“Thanks for scaring all the wild animals away.” Shirazu, Aura, and Higemaru file into their tent. Urie follows, and Mutsuki knows he should.
I wish I may, I wish I might…
But how can he sleep when the Little Dipper twinkles above? When he feels as if he can soar away from this world, into a sea of vast space populated by sparkles millions of miles from each other?
When he thinks his colleagues are asleep, Mutsuki stretches his arms wide and spins around, as if he could really fly.
For a moment, he thinks he can.
“The stars are inspiring, aren’t they.” Urie crawls back out, and Mutsuki freezes.
“I’ve often wanted to paint them.” Urie smiles. “But i won’t do as good a job as Vincent Van Gogh. He captured the euphoria like no one else.” He smiles. “I’ll just be second best, you see.”
Mutsuki laughs gently. “Well, I wish I could ride straight up there. Be alone. Be happy.”
“Alone?”
Mutsuki hesitates. “I’d miss you.”
Urie walks over to him, and brushes his hands against his. “Look, a shooting star.”
Mutsuki gasps. “I’ve never seen one before.” He’s about to add that he’s always wanted to, but he can tell from Urie’s eyes that he already knows.
Urie entwines his fingers with Mutsuki’s. Euphoria?
Euphoria indeed.
Have the wish I wish tonight.
Mercy and Magic
