Black Hole P.O.V

The lights are so bright.

It's loud even with the headphones.

Sure it's cool, but it's loud. And bright, and loud.

I grip onto Tree with all my strength, afraid to be anywhere but near him. Jr. is off somewhere, I want him to be here as well, but I can't bring myself to move.

It's loud.

My mind is racing, colors spark across the sky, people are yelling whatever they're yelling about. I don't get it. It's too bright.

Muffled sounds of other's talking around me is all I hear, a few blurry images coming into frame. There's a gentle tap on my shoulder, I look over to see Tree next to me. Their lips are moving, but I can't hear anything their saying.

It's loud.

I think I should take the headphones off, but I think it would be to loud for me. It's loud already, I don't think I could handle more loudness. The fireworks blossom in the sky, full of blurred shapes and colors. All mixing together like paint on a canvas.

I faintly hear him say my name, making me face them again. I give a weary smile, still not being able to fully speak.

They seem to realize I'm not in the best condition to speak, wrapping their arms around mine. Holding me in a sort of hug, it grounds me. Reminds me where I am.

Tree P.O.V:

They sort of freeze up, eyes cloudy with a tremble I've seen before. I hum, wrapping my arms delicately around their arm. Their breathing falters, leaning their head onto mine. I sigh, letting them rest their head against my own.

The fireworks are as beautiful as ever, hundreds of colors light up the sky with loud cracks as it does so.

Their hand snakes to mine, gripping tightly. Their freezing cold hand engulfs mine, they let out a shaky breath. I wince at the sudden temperature change, slowly getting used to it.

We continue sit together, calmly watching the fireworks. Well...calmly for me, Black Hole seems as if they were going to explode at any second if you weren't careful. Yet they continued to sit idly, enjoying the display.
