Gar laughed, his arms wrapped around his stomach as he tried not to topple over himself. Patrck, who walked next to him, was also laughing. They had spent the whole day exploring the city, Patrck finally being able to put pictures with some of the places he had been to.

Though he loved the colors he was finally able to see, his favorite thing all day had to be Gar's laugh. Joy radiated from it, almost as if it was the first time in years he had laughed.  The thought made Pat's chest ache sympathetically.

Pat looked up, a bright smile plastered on his face as if he only ever smiled. The light from the setting sun painted over his features, though Pat couldn't see it Gar made sure to slow down the sunset. Particles of light swirled around the two waiting for their turn to highlight the sky, it took a lot of energy to hold them back. A lot of energy Gar didn't have, but he decided that Pat deserved a few extra minutes of sun light.

They walked along the quite street, houses lit up with warm light. Their laughter faded, relaxing into the night air. Finally they arrived to Pat's house, sad smiles reflecting on their faces.

"We should do this again," Gar finally said after they had been standing there silently for awhile, Patrck's face lit up as he quickly agreed. Gar hesitated for a moment, he wasn't sure what to do but he felt like he was supposed to do something, but instead turned to leave with a goodbye.

Patrck only had a few seconds after watching Gar fly off before his sight left him. He sighed, a smile still resting on his face and walked to the front door and entered his house.

"MK, I'm back!" he said, his voice radiating through the house to be heard. He heard her mumble something faint from the other room before she quickly made her way to the room he was in.

"Pat, thank God!" she said relieved before hugging him tightly.

"Where the hell were you? I was worried sick!" she sighed, before stepping back and looking him over for any injuries.

"I was terrified that somthing happened to you, if you hadn't come home a moment sooner I was going to call the police," she shook her head, not that Patrck could see, and pulled him back into a hug.

"MK, I'm fine. I guess I just lost track of time," he shrugged his shoulders earning an annoyed grunt from her. She began exiting the room, he followed slowly, til he was in the kitchen and she was rummaging though the refrigerator.

"How does a grilled cheese sound before bed?" MK asked as she began to cook, Patrck smiled sitting down. He heard a soft meow to his left, his smile growing larger as Ophelia climed up on his lap.

"Hey sweetie, did you miss me?" he scratched the backing her ears as he waited for food.

"Well, whatever you did during your walk you must have enjoyed it," MK said as she set the plate of food down for Pat. All Pat could do was smile before taking a bite.

Gar sighed as he sat looking over the night sky. His feet dangled off the ledge of the old work shed he sat upon, wind rushing around him full of excitement. In the field a little to his left, he could spot fireflies, their lights flickering on and off in the distance.

Gar leaned back, his back now resting on the roof so he could look up at the sky. He waved his hand, star light growing brighter before reverting back to normal. He sighed, annoyed at himself, then tried again. C'mon, at least stay for a few seconds...

His third attempt left him feeling exhausted, he couldn't do it. He glared up at the stars, it wasn't their fault but he needed something to be mad at. Though his mind only had a second to play the blame game before he quickly began to reflect about the day.

Patrck.

A softness appeared on Gar's face. His thoughts going all the way back to the prior morning. Patrck looked so excited as if it was the best day of his life. His smile was beautiful, and he was happy, and-

He was happy, I was able to make him happy. Gar frowned, his eyebrows scrunched together in thought.
He was happy because he could see, not because of me-

Gar shook his head sitting up again. He didn't want to think about that right now. It was a good day, let it be a good day. He sighed, annoyed with himself and raked his fingers through his hair, eyes closing and he laid back again.

He laid there for awhile before realizing he wouldn't be falling asleep any time soon. He sighed, getting up and making his way to the field of fireflies. None of them paid him any mind besides a few that opted to fly around his head. He smiled fondly at them.
