"Papa! Can you tell me a story?" eight year old (y/n) asks, her adoptive, who was tucking her into bed.
"Of course my dear, which one do you want me to tell?" he laughs heartily, and sits down by her bedside.
Little (y/n) thought quietly for a moment.
"The one about the sun and the moon! it's my favorite" she nods, waiting for her father's response.
"The Sun loved the Moon so much he died every night just to let her breath. Once during a time when the earth was simple, the Sun shone brighter than anything. The people were grateful and rejoiced every time the Sun shone. He brought them joy and warmth, he was even the source of their warmth"
Her father watched (y/n)'s expression, and it never changed from the first time he told her this story, she was completely captivated. So he continued.
"But he was lonely, all by himself in the vast skies. He would look down at the people dancing in his radiance and wonder if he was simply destined to a life of solitarily. That was the price he paid for being the brightest, he reasoned"
"Then there was the Moon. As the Sun grew weary and began to disappear she would rise into the sky, flanked by millions of stars. Her radiance was a sad kind of beauty, one that went unnoticed as the people slept"
"This is my favorite bit!" (y/n) giggled, and hushed almost instantly.
"One day when the Sun was sliding out of the heavens, he caught a glimpse of her. She was peeking up, a rare side of her being exposed to the light. And while the Sun could shine, he knew the Moon could glow, and a faithful whisper trumped an arrogant shout any day"
"Yet they still could not be together, how he wished to see her beauty in full, more than the fleeting moments they share at dawn and dusk. But the moon was incurable"
"The moon said; "Go and let me breathe, for you and I have decided fates. You illuminate the day, and I cast a glow on the night. We will never be. Our connection would go against what all people believe, all they know." During the summer he would stay a little longer just in case she would change her mind. It was no use. Don't you dare abandon your blessing of light for my darkness."
"...Those were the last words the Moon was strong enough to speak to the Sun."
Her father looked up to see the little girl already snoring quietly, and smiled softly. "I guess she's a little tired about hearing the sad ending." he said to himself. He put out her bedside candle and left the room, closing the door gently.
