054: It's a Beautiful Day, Don't Let it Get Away

[contract_star]

[Hei is here, and he is soaking wet. He’s standing barefoot on the Plane, dripping, sand clinging to his feet and legs. His hair is tangled and plastered to his neck. He’s staring up at the Astral Sky with wide eyes, and is smiling as no one here has ever seen him smile--it’s a mix of awe, euphoria and pure, unadulterated happiness.]

[Enter Cy, sitting a short distance away with a wad of tinfoil.] You're glowing like Christmas at midsummer, Shan.

[It takes him a moment, but eventually he looks over at her and grins.] A storm hit my island.

You look as though fortune's smiled upon you in all the best ways.

[contract_star]

[Beaming,] There was a storm.

[lamb_of_gold]

Enjoyed yourself?

[eyehax.livejournal.com]

...what are you so happy about?

[contract_star]

Ah...it's kind of hard to explain.

[eyehax.livejournal.com]

...

Whatever.

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Hei almost looks cute right now.

[contract_star]

[Chuckles.] Cute? I don't know about that.

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Well, as cute as he can probably be at any given moment.

[Smiles and skates up to him.]

My my Hei-kun, I barely recognized you with this unusual expression on your handsome face~! Who died~?

[contract_star]

No one, Juliet. There was a storm.

[Slightly confused blinking goes here.]

That's how they call 'drinking and partying all night long' these days?

[mercwamouth]

...You licked a frog, didn't you.

[contract_star]

What? No. Got caught in a storm.

[mercwamouth]

...If you like Pina Coladas, and gettin' caught in the--NO! Stay on subject.

So why is this a good thing?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt] ...Hei?

[contract_star]

Hi, Juni.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

You seem happy.

Hei? [She's dressed in the same light, simple way as the last time he saw her, looking bright and relaxed, her hair braided back.] What happened?

[contract_star]

[Hei has to stop himself from yanking her into a hug since he doesn't want to get her wet.] Hi, Misaki. There was a storm.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[Sam is somewhat confused by this expression, but forgive him, he doesn't really get happiness in ANYONE]

[contract_star]

Sam. I'm on an island. There was a storm.
