Chaper 4
Seem like tonight is a night that the mage can't sleep, he tried to sleep like 5 times and he still awake. Harley isn't feel sleepy at all, he only feel, bored.
"Maybe I should go outside and go somewhere i guess" - he think.
Of course not to waste any more time, the mage get off the bed, wear his jacket and his hat, then open the door quietly. He doesn't want to wake his sister or anyone up since it's midnight now so he need to be quiet. He slowly goes down the stair and open the front door slowly, and check if anyone is still awake or not. Then he slowly goes out and close the door.
Once the mage got outside, he quickly run away to a small hill full with grass and flowers, it's always Harley's favorite place, he always get there when he was upset or bored. And there it is, his favorite place, it look even better when the sky is full with stars. It look so perfect, just like him. After all he's a genius, so he want everything look perfect on him.
He take off his hat and put it next to him then slowly lays on the grass and look at the stars sparkling on the sky. Such an amazing sight for him now.
"I wonder how is Harith now... Is he got hit by those toxic people...? Did he got upset by them...?" - Then Harley's mood went down again when he remember what happen at the fight.
Of course, because of him that the Leonin take all the blame and have to hear all the toxic words from the team. Such a stupid cat! He didn't have to do that, the mage can easily take care of them. Well, sort of. But it already happen and there's nothing he could do about it anymore, Harley just sigh and his eyes still watching the stars on the sky.
While Harley is watching the stars, someone block his view make him surprise, then he sit up and see Harith. The Leonin was plan to go here like him, then he see the mage is lying on the grass so he went to check him a bit. He's now standing behind him but tonight he's not wear his mask. Of course, no one wear mask at night.
"W-what are you doing here??" - Harley surprisingly ask him.
But he just stay quiet, as usual. Then the Leonin slowly lays down next to him, and watching the stars. The mage just sigh then lays down again and watching the stars with him. No one said anything, they just stay quiet, and watching the stars sparkling on the night sky.
"So... you can't sleep... Harley...?" - Harith suddenly asks him with the usual cold voice, his eyes still not leave the sky.
"Well kinda, what about you Harith? You can't sleep as well?" - The mage asks him back.
"Sort of..." - Harith responds.
Harley just nods and then both of them stay quiet again. Well they're not gonna stay like that until it morning again, right?
"Hey Harith?" - Harley gently calld him. Then Harith turn his head and they make an eyes contact.
"Did the toxic people did anything to you? Did they hit you? Or they just shout at you?" - The mage asks him while he look at his eyes, his empty eyes.
They look at each others eyes for a while, then the Leonin look at the stars again.
"No... they just shouted and insulted me... that's all..." - he said. At that moment Harley was upset a bit.
"They did...?"
"Mhm..."
Then Harley sit up, his eyes now looking at the starry sky.
"Then why didn't you let me stay... so I could, maybe help you?" - he ask the Leonin. Then he notice that Harith also sit up next to him.
"Cause you didn't do anything wrong... you didn't want to hear those toxic words right...?" - Harith said while he look at him. They make an eyes contact again.
The mage blushing a bit and look away, then the Leonin just looking at the stars again. The stars on the sky sparkling on the dark sky, and seem like, his eyes also sparkling as well. Harley look at him a bit, and somehow he's smiling.
"Harith?" - The mage calls him gently.
"Hm...?" - Harith responds.
"What do you usually do when it raining? Me, i sometime wear raincoat and bring umbrella and go out jumping on the puddles. It's fun cause I don't have to think about anything" - the mage smile a bit whenever he talk about it. "It's my hobby now."
Harith nods a bit while both of them still looking at the sky, but somehow Harley is now in Harith's arms and his head is on the Leonin's shoulder. They're hugging and cuddling each other now.
"What about you Harith? What do you usually do when it rain?" - The mage look up and look at him, their face so close that they could kiss.
Harith just stay quiet while hugging him a bit more. Harley slowly patting his head. Then the Leonin said.
"I... usually stay at home and watching the rain through the window... I think..." - his ears twitching a bit.
The mage doesn't believe him much when he said that. Cause he still remember what his sister told when she went to buy some groceries. Harley doesn't believe what he said, but he's not sure if that's true, he doesn't know if his sister saw it wrong cause of the heavy rain or what Harith said is lie.
"You sure Harith? If you stuck in the rain what will you do when that happen?" - The mage once again ask while look at him.
"Well when that happen... what will you do when you don't bring umbrella or raincoat hm...? Genius...?" - the Leonin giggles a bit, it make Harley a bit mad and blush a bit. He hit Harith with his punch gently, again, it feel like a cotton punch to him. The Leonin giggles again.
"You stupid cat!! Hmp!!" - the mage look away while making tsundere noise. The Leonin can't do anything but just giggles while patting his head gently, then his hand got slapped by Harley.
"Don't touch the hair you idiot!!" - the mage said to him.
"You don't like anyone touching your hair...?" - Harith surprisingly ask him.
"Well yeh, only my sister can touch my hair, other people, no, hmp!" - Harley said while look away.
The Leonin just pat his shoulder gently then both of them watching the stars, and cuddling each other without notice.
"Well this is the first time I go watch the stars with someone, actually" - the mage said while smiling a bit.
"I thought you go watch the star with your friends...? You and them seem so... close... and happy..." - Harith's voice seem sad when he mention Harley's friends. The mage look at him, he can see the Leonin's eyes is full with sadness now, his ears also down as well.
"You... never have friends...? - Harley asks him.
But he recieve silence only, that's enough for him to get the answer. The mage know that everyone, even some of his friends, are all make a big distance away from Harith, just because he's, scary? Or too cold for them? But right now, Harley only see a soft, nice, and lonely Harith. The Leonin didn't do anything wrong, he doesn't deserve any of this. The mage pat his head gently then turn around facing him and look at him in the eyes, their face was so close that they can kiss if something bump into Harley.
"Is it ok if I become your friend..?" - Harley asks him gently.
At that moment, Harith couldn't say anything cause he was surprise because what the mage just said. Him? Wanna be his friend? That's crazy for the Leonin now.
"Why do you want to be my friend...? Don't you think that im... cold and scary like others said...?" - Harith asks him with his usual cold voice, but now it há some sadness on it.
Harley just stay quiet, he does want to be his friend, but the Leonin question make him couldn't make a good reason to answer him. It could take a while to answer that.
Seeing Harley making serious face while thinking, Harith just look at him while let him think. Then suddenly his hands poking the mage's cheek a bit, making Harley surprise a bit cause he was focus on thinking.
"What's wrong Vance...? Are you trying to think a good reason to answer my question...?" - He chuckles a bit.
Feel like getting mocked, the mage immediatly hit the Leonin's on the head real hard, but seem like Harith doesn't care much, he just poking his cheek again.
"Stop mocking me you stupid cat!!" - He shout at him while hands still hitting him a bit. Of course to Harith those puchs just feek like cotton punchs, doesn't hurt at all, he just giggles while Harley making tsundere noise again.
"You sure you want to be my friend Genius...?" - The Leonin hold his chin while their faces got even closer. "I don't think that idea is really... Genius to you..."
Harley blushing a lot when he did that but still try acting cool.
"W-well... i-it's my decision to d-decide what I want ok?? Y-you can't decide it for me!! A-and if i said i want to be friend with you, I mean i will be friend with you!! Y-you don't have a choice to say no because I won't give up being your friend ok??" - He said while still blushing and his voice sometime got shaky a bit.
The Leonin just stay quiet, his hand still holding the mage's chin and their face still very close to each other. Then Harith's ears twitching a bit mean like he hear something and he look up.
"Meteor shower..." - He said.
Harley turn around and see what Harith said was right, there's a meteor shower right now, and it's a big one. A lot of shooting stars is splashing through that dark sky, Harith can see the mage's eyes are shining.
"You like meteor shower...?" - He gently asks him.
"Mhm! I've always want to watching them when I was little, I heard that it's really beautiful!" - the mage said while smiling. "Now I can really see it by my own eyes! It is really beautiful!"
The Leonin just look at him watching the meteor shower. He slowy put his head on his shoulders while let him watching.
"Hey Vance...?" - he gently calls.
"Hm? What's wrong Harith?" - The mage turn around and facing him.
"What do you want to do when you grow up...?"
Then Harley look at him, the meteor shower still don't stop, and the two person are making eyes contact now, but there's something, different about it, they don't know what is it, but none of them really care. Then he slowly hold the Leonin's cheek.
"What about you Harith? What you want to do when you grow up?" - he gently ask him back.
Again, Harith just stay quiet, his eyes look away while let him holding his cheek. That's maybe enough for an answer to Harley.
"You don't know do you...?" - The mage ask him again. And he recieve a slow nods from the Leonin. "I knew it..." He thought.
The mage keep holding his cheek and ask Harith if he want to explore the world with him when they grow up. Then he give him a warm smile, it make the Leonin somehow, feel warm. A strange warmth going through his body when he see the smile of him.
"You sure...? It doesn't sound very-..."
"Genius I know idiot." - Harley giggles a bit. "But it's my decision to decide what I want to do, and I want to explore the world with you silly cat. Is it ok?"
"But... you still sure...?" - Harith asks him again. "I might cause you trouble-..."
"Yes im sure silly cat" - Harley cut his words then give him a warm smile again. "I make up my mind so don't think i'll change my mind ok?"
The Leonin just nods and they watching the meteor shower again. They didn't stop hugging and cuddling each other for a while now. They eyes sticking with the meteor shower while hugging each other.
"First time watching meteor shower with someone am I right...?" - Harith ask him while chuckles a bit.
"Mhm! I was expect to watch meteor shower with my sister or my friends, but it's ok with you as well. What about you? It's also your first time right?" - The mage smiles.
"Yeh... i was... unexpect someone watching the meteor shower with me... especially someone is a genius like you... Vance..." - The Leonin chuckles a bit.
"You want to hang out like this more often? If you want to of course" - Harley chuckles.
"I always come here to watch the stars... everynight... if you have time you can come here and we can talk and watching the stars with me..." - Harith smiles a bit while look at him. Harley blush a bit when he see the Leonin's smile. "Gosh he looks so beautiful when he smile!!" - He thought.
"So what do you think...?"
"Uh... well I can try come here to talk with you, I usually can't sleep at night actually, so maybe I can come" - Harley chuckles.
"Sure, i'll wait here everynight... for you... Vance..." - The Leonin smile again.
Harley just blushing and watch the meteor shower again while let him hugging him behind. They both watching the meteor shower on the sky. The meteor shower seem like will never stop, they just keep watching the meteor shower, their eyes can't stop looking at it. It's so beautiful, so perfect, for a night like this, a night that they all together, just the two of them.
"You know... I never have such an amazing night like this with someone before..." - Harith suddenly said, his voice seem a bit, warm and happy.
"Actually, I never expect I will watching the meteor shower with you, but im glad it happen now, cause I always want to be friends with you, Harith" - The mage smile at him. Once again the Leonin feel that strange warm inside him again.
Harley yawns a bit, he seem sleepy now. His head slowly on his shoulders while his eyes want to close so bad now.
"You seem sleepy now... Genius..." - Harith look at his sleepy eyes a bit. "You want to sleep a bit?"
"Nuhhh I wanna finish watching the meteor showerrr..." - The mage groaned while still trying to stay awake to watch the meteor shower.
"You look so sleepy now you know... just sleep ok...?" - The Leonin pat his shoulder gently.
"But I don't want to miss the rest of the meteor shower..." - Harley complain again. "Stupid sleepiness...hmp..."
Even they keep agruing quietly about it but soon later, Harley has fall asleep on the Leonin's shoulder and sleeping peacfully.
Harith just let him sleep while hug him so he won't fall of his arms and wake up, then he watch the rest of the meteor shower again. The meteor shower still on going, make the night sky less dark and quiet. The Leonin still holding the sleeping mage, watching it.
