It was a quiet, particularly warm night when Albus woke up alone. His eyes were unfocused while his hand searched for the now familiar warmth of the other boy, only to find his spot growing colder. Half asleep, Albus lifted his eyes to the door leading to the garden. A cold breeze leaked through the open door.
It wasn’t unusual for Sann to wake up in the middle of the night and finding impossible to go back to sleep. Shifting on the bed aimlessly until he woke up and he could tuck himself under his chin for a few minutes, finding the albino’s gentle hand, as he listened to a lullaby. The soothing humming was the only thing that got him to finally sleep, before Albus kissed him goodbye and went to work.
It wasn’t the first time Sann had walked outside to lay at the edge of the pool with his legs on the water to stargaze, either.
As far away as they were, the city lights couldn´t taint the sky a dirty gray. The vast black was filled with small strokes of white glowing as they ran down in quick succession. One after the other. Some spots vibrating in bright red and greens, as they disappeared into the shadows.
Laying down with his arms to the side the boy that told him this specific shower was called the Quadrantids, looked at the sky with empty eyes. Albus didn´t have to look up to know where his eyes were.
Just as back then, when looking through searched images of the night sky, the Sirius star always quieted his excited signing that usually took less than a few minutes to trail off about the wonders of the universe and how humans had barely even scrapped its secrets thanks to science. More often than not, Albus could barely and would have to resort to the notebook to understand what he was trying to say, earning him a little annoyed pout when the albino handed him the pen. Curiously enough, as his knowledge began to come back, Sann was also starting up to use signs Zarai had told him sounded more like an Spanish word.
Albus was so happy to see him remember something from his past that filled him with happiness, but every time, every single time his eyes fell on the Sirius star, the glow in his eyes would dim, casting a quiet, but vicious, tempest inside his mind that forced him to stillness.
Albus could see that same storm in his eyes that night, but he had his fair share of rain to not share his umbrella.
“It’s a bit cold today” he said as he laid down next to the other boy, covering both of them with the blanket before looking up, exhaling a small awe at the show above. He kept staring for a while until a thought rolled out of his tongue “It’s like a wishing well with infinite gold”
“What?” Sann tweaked his lips up and then down with a slight frown.
“Y-You know those! Toss a coin down the well and your wish will come true, deal” he turned to find Sann staring at him blinking owlishly “ok, look. All this stars?” He waved his hand across the sky “your coins. All of them. How many wishes are there? You can wish for whatever you want!” He said thankful the dark of the night didn’t let Sann see his cheeks going red.
Sann took a deep breath before looking at the night sky again. His eyes gaining that shine again “Anything?”
Albus hummed as reply “Anything” quickly his eyes followed an especially bright star on the sky “It´s red! Look! Quick! Make a wish!”
“There’s literally a thousand falling!” Sann signed with an ironic smile in his face as Albus pressed his eyes closed, barely holding down a giggle.
Sann sighed shaking his head lightly. After a second, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. For a hot second he racked his brain in search of something to wish for, but everything was so different than the year before. He had more than he had ever dreamed of with his Master.
He was about to give up, until Sirius crossed his mind.
The person in the photos, the owner of the collar he wore for two years and the man that had left a scar on his Master’s heart that wouldn´t ever heal.
Sann took a deep breath.
“I wish you knew how hard I tried to be you” he said in the most private corner of his mind.
