My Sunrise
My eyes were heavy, but he insisted we stayed awake just a little longer. We'd gone to a blitzball game, and I cheered and cheered, and my voice hurt from it. I didn't care though. I was just happy to be with him. His fingers laced through mine, and I felt safe in the early hours.
The sky was a heavy blue: not quite midnight blue, but not a morning azure. I leaned closer to him, resting my head on his arm as we trudged through the city. I looked up at him, admiring his golden hair in the streetlights.
I loved being with him. We were apart for so long, it seemed.
He looked down at me, and I found myself trapped in his gaze. I giggled quietly.
"What's so funny?" he asked, his voice soft.
I shrugged, and focused back on the path. My feet ached from dancing with him through countless songs.
He told me how he hates when I giggle without telling him why. He likes to laugh too, you know. His free hand tugged on one of my braids, but I refused to answer him.
"Here."
We reached the end of our path: the docks. In my mind, I wondered why he'd brought me here, but I didn't ask out loud.
He took both of my hands, and led me to the edge of the wooden dock. We sat down, and I shivered. The breeze of the lake was cooler than the air.
He draped his arms around my body, providing all the warmth I needed in that early hour.
And we sat for a few moments. He hummed a song I recognized as we waited. But what were we waiting for?
"Turn around."
It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I gazed back at the metropolis. A soft glow surrounded the entire town, making it seem surreal. The glow diminished slowly, as the city lights dimmed one by one. Above was the dark sapphire side of the sky's spectrum. The white dots of stars were fading.
"It's amazing," I whispered.
He laid his arms around my waist and turned me around again, so we faced the eastern horizon. The sea was relatively calm.
"It's starting."
His few-word-sentences were just enough to send chills down my spine. Or perhaps it was his head on my shoulder, and his breath against my cheek that made me shiver so. Still, I loved each moment his skin touched mine.
And it was starting. The sea was beginning to glimmer a rosy pink. We watched for maybe an hour (though it seemed like so little time) as the pink spread through the water, then to the sky, then to the city. It got brighter and brighter, then the whole world seemed to glow with the warmth of the sun.
It was the most gorgeous thing I'd ever seen.
Well, until I looked back into his eyes again.
"See? I told you it was worth staying awake for."
I turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck. I gazed back into those dazzling cerulean eyes of his. I fell in love with him again, amazed at how he continued to be so, well, amazing.
"You were right," I said, my voice a bit raspy from my weariness.
"Aren't I always?" he teased, resting his forehead against mine.
I giggled again, though this time he knew my reason. "Though, I can think of something more wonderful than the sunrise."
"And what's that?" he questioned, curious as ever.
I giggled once more, "You of course."
He blushed, the rosy red of his cheeks reminded me of the sky.
He was my morning sunrise, my sky, my Tidus.
