( under the night sky )

[absurdities]

ＳＴＡＲＧＡＺＩＮＧ - whether you're on a picnic blanket in a field, laying on the beach, or in the bed of a truck, you're with someone you care about and you're looking at the stars.

ＣＡＭＰＦＩＲＥ - camping is the most fun when you're with someone else. roasting marshmallows, telling stories. nature's got it goin' on.

ＰＡＲＫＩＮＧ - you're at the lover's lane, parked at the peak overlooking the city, it's just you and someone else in the car. maybe it's time to steam up the glass or hey, you guys can just talk if you want.

ＦＩＲＥＷＯＲＫＳ - may it is the fourth of july, the new year, or just because, but there's fireworks shooting off and they're magical. or scary. it depends on what floats your boat.

ＬＡＴＥ ＮＩＧＨＴ ＳＷＩＭ - maybe you're at the beach or in the backyard pool or at the lake, maybe you're going to skinny dip or maybe you'll 'fall' in with all your clothes. either way, swimming at night is pretty much always fun.

ＳＫＹ ＬＡＮＴＥＲＮＳ - perhaps you've lost someone dear and you want to do something to remember them by, maybe you're making a wish for the future.

Cyrus was so confused and he knew the Knave was as well, which wasn't helping. But he couldn't hide the fact that he was hurt or confused that the Knave seemed so blind to the pirate's advances.

"To put in words you will understand, you are a bloody fool if you think you don't mean anything to the captain. He is always looking for your attention and that wasn't the first time he's tried to tempt you into his cabin." Cyrus sighed heavily and transferred his look down to the ocean. "It's just the first time he's succeeded."

He licked his lips and turned to look at the Knave again out of the corner of his eye. "If I mean something to you, then why couldn't you come to me? Why not let me satisfy the urge for you? I want too. I shouldn't...you are my master after all, but I want too. Wouldn't it be better with someone you cared for and who cared for you back?"

The Knave heard Cyrus's words but he couldn't bring himself to believe them. Who would want him? The one person who had changed her mind and let him wait by the wagon, alone. Love was something he wasn't going to get, didn't deserve to get.

Hook didn't want him for anything other than a good romp in the cabin. Cyrus... it was easier to think that it was the master/genie bond (that technically they didn't even have) than to think that Cyrus felt something real for him.

That way led to nothing good. He had lost Ana and he just knew he was on the verge of losing Cyrus too.

He closed his eyes for a moment and bit his lip. He was shivering a little but it wasn't from the cold. "Because... because the last time I was with someone I loved, she left and it hurt so bad I asked the bloody Queen of Hearts to take out me own heart so I couldn't feel nothing no more."

If he lost Cyrus, it was because he was too blind to see what was plan to everyone else. The genie who pathetically pined for his master. This had happened before, Cyrus was far to passionate for him not to fallen even a little for one of his masters in hundreds of years. But he'd never wanted to act on it as much as he did right now.

Then the Knave spoke, causing Cyrus to clench his eyes shut and pound his fists against the railing, his heart hurting enough for the both of them. He knew the Knave didn't have his heart but to hear why...

It was a long time before the pain eased enough for Cyrus to turn to look at the Knave, meeting his eyes. "Then, if you feel nothing, why did you kiss me all those nights ago?" There had obviously been something. "And I don't want to go anywhere. Not unless you push me away! Then you might as well just put me back in my bottle and be done with it, Will Scarlett. Because being this close to you and knowing he's gotten to touch you more then I have is killing me."

Cyrus quickly swallowed back the words that almost came after. I want to love you but you make it difficult.

In retrospect, asking Cora to take his heart had been the dumbest thing he had ever done - or at least right up there with coming to Wonderland in the first place. He had just wanted to stop hurting so much and he had thought he could live with not being able to fall in love again. He hadn't realized that giving up his heart meant that Cora could control him until it was far too late.

"I don't know," he answered, reaching out for Cyrus then pulling back. "And it scares me, okay? This scares me. I ain't supposed to feel nothing and I liked it, I got used to it and now... now I don't want to feel nothing no more."
