Eclipse of Hearts

•a piece written by acheeseinthetrap•

She was the sun. A light for those who were obscured. And a well-known for those who are enigmatic. She's overly-exposed that no one would even dare to ignore. Her rays are pretty helpful to those who are in need.

She was the sun. She was always there, continuously fluttering her own beams, yet still flaunts her dangerous flames.

Emotional for the reason that even though everyone enjoys her pretty shafts, she still couldn't get any person who's willing to stay by her side, and any person who'd enjoy to touch her skin without worrying that it could hurt them.

Would anyone even dare?

She is too risky, and for other people, she's not worthy to be proud of. Since she was only a sun.

A sun whose job is to give people light whilst they are mourning in the darkness, and not a sun who's deserving to be with whilst mourning in her own tenebrific self.

And there, he goes.
A shapeshifter of the moon.
Existing in the darkness, and is only entitled to be the the object in romantic scenes any couples under him could fantasize.
Surrounded by clouds, and is willing to stay until cloudburst, yet hides when there is a coming rainstorm.

Unlike the sun, he has many companion. Including the stars who are willing to smile to those who are sad, and are ready to give people directions when they're lost.
Unlike the sun, everyone appreciates him even at times of dusk and dawns. People anticipate every night to stare at the sky because of his changed form.

His life's an ideal, a perfect manifestation of those who live with pure love given by those who are surrounding him.
Would he wish for something new?

Of course, he would.

He couldn't find the comfort from his stars and his clouds. And his shine for the people are not enough to fascinate them. Everything's dim, including his own thoughts. Wondering who could give sufficient light for him that can make him smile despite of the possible circumstances he would encounter.

"Try my sister, he's too good to be true! He can be your friend for the time you are still gloomy about yourself," the first star suggested.

"I beg to disagree, but the moon deserves so much more! Here's my pretty companion. Just don't touch her, 'cause her surface temperature could burn your cute tiny fingers!" said the second star.

"Pardon me, but let me introduce to you the girl who captured my cottony skin, here is my red dwarf. She's also a star, and she's happy to be with!" introduced by the cloud.

He was unable to think properly since his mind became ruffled.

The moon told them to stay, and he'll only explore around the sky for him to be able to mend his thoughts.

And he heard a giggle--no a sob coming from the clouds. He tried to look around, each and every corner.

And there, he spotted a beaming light coming above him. The light was so strong and it felt like it's slowly burning him. Yet he managed to continue to go through the light coming from above.

He took a look at her, and he saw the mesmerizing sun. With flames flowing from its eyes through its cheeks, and noticing that every solid material being turned into ashes didn't make him bothered nor afraid.

"Would you run away from me?" asked by the sun, with her eyes so beautiful although he thought she had been crying overnight.

'Poor girl,' he thought.

And he explained everything to her, until the moon made her comfortable with his sudden existence.

The moon heaved and sighed after their long conversation, and finally found his lost comfort.

The sun who cried each day and night, has finally found a companion who are willing to stay with her despite of her flawed appearance.

The suggestions given to him by the two stars and the cloud were unexpectedly, faultlessly manifested by the Sun.

The moon loved the sun so much, she was embraced perfectly by him without any hint of hesitations and worries, until his entirety was devoured by the sun's alluring rays.

And as they make a sudden beautiful eclipse in the plain night sky, is also the same for their hearts to shine as warm and brighter than their beams before.
