Title: Fauxora Borealis
Characters: Eco, Belca, Orcelito
Rating: G
Modern AU.
The night is cold, really cold, and Belca wonders why he snuck out to wait in it. He knows the reason - Eco had whispered there was a special place he wanted to show him, and that they couldn't risk being followed - but why he's actually going through with this is the question. He doesn't wonder too long, because Eco rides up on a bicycle built for two and Belca has to stop himself from groaning. He rings the bell, and Belca can't help himself.
"Really, Eco?"
"I thought it'd be better for us! Come on, we gotta go."
Belca reluctantly gets on the second seat, glad for the darkness, and they (embarrassingly, in his opinion) bike up The Hill and across a bridge, two miles later. He's tired and cold and about to tell Eco off when they suddenly stop and the sky fills with light. Red, blue, green, violet, gold - every color reflects off the clouds like an aurora borealis. Belca's speechless, and Eco can't help fimself; he grins and turns around, grabs Belca's hands (and Eco's hands are warm, and his nose is red, and his weird-ass eyes are as bright as the stars hidden above them) and Belca can't help but smile a little too.
"Beautiful, isn't it? There's a fireworks factory about five miles west from here, and every Friday night they set them off to test. It really is too far off for me to bike by myself, so I end up just coming out this far and watching the clouds."
When Eco mentions fireworks, he can taste the faint, bitter acidic smoke on the wind, and he can almost imagine the bangs and whistles of rockets and poppers. Eco turns back to watch before he can reply, leaving a faint warmth growing freezing fast, and they watch in until the last light fades away an hour later. By then, they've left the bike on the ground and climbed a tree. Eco's hands had felt warm pulling him up, and they still feel warm covering his on the branch now. Eco looks like he wants to do something, but apparently decides against it, as they're home not five minutes later. Belca can see Orcelito waiting at the mailbox as they close in, and he grits his teeth at the oncoming lecture. He doesn't get one; he gets a tight hug, a dismissal, and from the living roo mwindow he can see Eco's the one getting an earful. Belca escapes to bed before Orcelito decides to change his mind, and he lays quietly in the darkness of his room.
