Summary: The porch roof was his favorite place outdoors.
Edward brushed at the firefly that landed on his book, and then frowned and looked up. Somehow, once again, the passage of time had eluded him and it had grown incredibly dark. The light from inside the bedroom cast a slim yellow square on the shingles beside him, providing him with enough ambient light so that he hadn’t noticed the sunset.
Even now, there was still the faintest brush of light over the tops of the trees, the sun had not faded entirely from the sky. Edward pressed his flesh hand back, against the shingles, and could still feel the day’s warmth.
The porch roof was his favorite place outdoors. For the most part no one noticed him up here nor bothered him - occasionally the dragon would land on the roof and lean over to study him curiously, but the behemoth sensed he was not Sariel and left him well enough alone. It was a perfect vantage point to watch and remain unseen.
Another firefly flitted past, glowing yellow-green in the darkness. They didn’t usually come this close to the house, the lightning bugs lit up the darkness along the edges of the woods, patterns of light solely found in a summer’s evening. Edward shooed the firefly away, watching it flit merrily back in the direction of its fellows.
A shadow cast across the light from his bedroom, and Edward didn’t turn around when the window slid open. “I have been looking for you all day, what are you doing out there?"
"Watching the fireflies,” Edward said. He glanced back when the light went off, and then Kenshin swung his leg over the sill, sliding out onto the porch roof with him. “Guess you’re joining me, huh?"
Kenshin sat beside Edward and nudged him with his knee. "Guess so.”
