Morning soon arrived with people beginning their day. Gar moved swiftly, collecting light that was no longer needed from night and reusing it for the morning. Pale moon light changing to bright gold sunlight with just the touch of Gar's fingers. The speckles decorating the sky until joining together. Gar finished, stretching in mid-air before gliding above the city.

He wanted to go find Patrck, talk to him again, maybe even show him more around town. Seeing Patrck's smile and pure joy yesterday was...nice. Just being seen was nice. Gar couldn't recall the last time he had laughed as hard, nor been as happy. He just hoped that Patrck would remember him, let alone be able to see him next time they met.

Gar shoved the thoughts into the back of his head before making his way (downtown) to Patrck's house. Upon arriving he spotted a young woman with brown hair locking the door of the small house, she turned and squinted her eyes at the sun before going over to her car and began backing up. She pulled away from the house, her car disappearing in the distance after a few seconds. Gar let himself fall to the ground, bare feet touching soft green grass as he looked for a way into the house.

Walking around the side, bright flowers where planted neatly in front of a window. Looking in, Gar immediately spotted Patrck entering what Gar assumed to be his bedroom. Using what small amount of magic he had, Gar was able to open the window and climb into the room. He brushed invisible dust off himself and turned to watch Patrck sit on his bed holding a small cat in his lap. Gar sat down next to him, taking a moment to prepare himself for the worst before touching Patrck gently on the arm.

Patrck noticeably jumped at the touch, confusion wrapping around him as he was suddenly able to see again. He looked around briefly before his eyes landed on Gar who was biting his lip anxiously seeing Pat's reaction. Patrck smiled at him, his face lighting up with excitement seeing Gar again. Gar let out a breath he had been holding with a relieved laugh, Patrck joining him as he leaned into the touch.

"God, I'm never going to get used to that," Pat whispered faintly, Gar's smile becoming brighter in response.

They sat and talked for hours, Pat's cat joining them. Hesitantly Gar let his hand touch the soft fur and smiled when she pressed into the touch. Overall the giddiness inside him made him want to fly around the earth a few times. He felt as if he was able to make the stars glow ten times he normally could.

Patrick stood slowly, watching his feet as if it was his first time walking. He let out a deep breath and began heading out of the room.

"I'll be right back, I want to check something real quick," he said softly, Gar stayed on the bed, Ophilia's weight keeping him still.

Pat continued to move down the hall, his fingers running over the cream walls. They we're all covered in photographs of many people. He couldn't say he knew them, definitely didn't recognize them, but smiled nonetheless at all the happy faces. He walked a little father to where he knew the bathroom was. He opened the door, golden light creating the only light within the whole room.

He looked around, jumping a little as he looking into the mirror. It was... Different. He hadn't expected to see himself. His hair was messy, brown wisps sticking up out of his head. His lips were twisted into a smile, his teeth showing between them. He looked around the room a little more, nothing really catching his attention before he left the room.

Patrick blinked a few times, the colors slowly slipping back out of his vision with the rest of his sight. He couldn't be away from Gar for forever, clearly it was distance or time based. He stopped, holding his hand out to touch the walls around him as he felt his way back to his room. He was almost there, or at least thought he was, when he watched the light and colors flood back into his vision. He laughed, feeling Gar's hand holding his arm.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you couldn't see," Gar began, his touch lingering on Pat's arm for a few more seconds before letting it fall to his side.

"Ha, yeah I was trying to get back to the room," Patrick looked around the hall noticing that he had been heading towards the kitchen.

"Well you were heading to a room so I guess that counts," Gar replied as they made their way back down the hall to Patrick's room. Upon entering they heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. Pat let out a sigh, his eyes drifting across Gar's face sadly.

"You have to go now don't you?" Patrick asked, Gar nodded his head turning to leave before pausing. He reached around Pat, pulling him into a tight hug. Pat silently hugged back, a smile tugging on his lips as he hugged Gar back tighter.

"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Gar asked, as MK entered the house. Ophelia scurries out of the room.

"Yeah, I'll see you!" Patrick said before Gar let go and hurriedly left. Patrick picked up his cane solemnly as the color left his eyes once again, the sound of MK's footsteps echoing as she came toward his room.

Gar smiled to himself as he looked up at the night sky. He found himself at the same place he had been the night before, the field of fireflies contrasting nicely against darkness around him. His smile faded as he heard the sound of an engine coming closer in the distance.

Soon enough a car had parked it's self right next to where Gar stood, not like whoever was driving could see Gar. A couple stepped out, a man in his late twenties carrying a basket to the front of the car as he waited for the woman he was with to join him with a lantern. She turned on the lantern as they sat on the hood of the vehicle.

"Wow, you were right Wade, they do shine brighter out here," the woman said as she looked up at the stars. Gar's face lit up upon hearing the words.

"I thought you would like it," he replied as he pulled out some drinks and sandwiches from the basket for them to eat. They sat there and ate for a while longer, staring up at the lights above before packing their stuff up and leaving. Gar snapped his fingers as the idea clicked into his mind.
