As a certified overthinker and chronic wonderer, todays generously abundant line of thinking was mainly related to Ginyami Midorimori. While that had been the constant state of his mind for several months now, they had a huge breakthrough in their relationship since they broke up yesterday. Sara could hardly feel like enough was said. There was always more things to discuss, to explain, but for a rare moment in his life - Sara was less concerned with things being the correct one to be. He had spent his prior hours paying attention to the other, trying to find opportunity to talk but his confidence always somewhat faltered at the still very fresh memory of Ginyami sobbing in his arms. That wasn't..well - he didn't want such a quick repeat of that. Instead they fell into this odd familiar pattern that was forced to feel foreign, due to their bad breakup no doubt. Sara stayed by his side, they seemed comfortable, but hadn't yet spoke in better detail. Where did they stand? Who were they to eachother? Was things forgiven? Was there debt to settle? Questions to ask? Plan of action? Sara only manged to assured himself enough that if Ginyami wouldn't speak first, then he would chase him. As aggresively as a plump cat plushie, but still.

To his surprise, and great joy - Ginyami had asked him instead, to go to the final firework show. Living in a fishing village, fireworks didn't come by very often. The loudness of it often made his heart race, but he figured that couldn't even come close to the skill Ginyami had in doing the same thing.

So he thought, might as well.

He let out a rare light laugh, nostalgic and soft at the memory of the circus tent as the other mentioned it. " No… no it's.. not bad..it's " he felt his chest ache, trying to hide an unexpected urge to laugh at his own words. " I.. I understand if you don't believe me.. since I think I said a similar thing about the tent.. even if I didn't like it back then.. . They're fine.. they're just.. a little loud…" he admits, wondering how to best soothe the tension in his own shoulders. " It's pretty. Like … bright lights in the sky. Muggle fireworks aren't like this.." he says, witnessing at the firework start to take shape of a dragon.

" I .. just think I should've gotten us something to eat. Do you want me to get you something? I think I saw lemonade or uh.. sodas and ice-cream... "

As quiet and anxious as Sara was normally, to hear him laugh, even lightly, always lifted Ginyami's heart and tightened his chest while producing butterflies in his stomach. He listened carefully to each word that slowly dropped from his peer's lips like a precious jewel in order to catch it. He didn't dare risk interrupting and it wasn't until he was certain that Sara was finished that he attempted to try responding himself.

"I believe you," he said with a small smile of his own, looking from his schoolmate back to the light-filled sky. "But yes, they are a bit obnoxious with the volume of their explosions, aren't they?"

His brow pinched a little at something else Sara said. "They're not? How are muggle fireworks, then? I thought they were also comprised of colorful, bright lights in the sky. Loud, too."

When his peer mentioned getting something to eat, Ginyami's hands immediately reached out to snatch for Sara's arm. "Wait...may I come with you? I don't need anything; not to eat or drink. I just need..." His voice trailed off and his face flushed as he found himself unable to finish the sentence. He guessed his meaning was probably clear enough.

"Is….. that so?" Sara couldn't help but feel a small smile to his face, followed by a tight knot in his chest. " I -… thank you" he says in the end to Ginyami saying he believed him. Those simple words holding a lot more meaning than what anyone else listening in might've guessed. " Yeah…. a little. Almost as loud as when we play Quiddtich matches… "

" Ah well.. " Sara thought on how fireworks.. well - worked. " It doesn't… make fully shaped forms like- " The boy doesn't have to say anything next. With the next show of fireworks, right after vine like shapes illuminated in the dark sky, butterfly fireworks formed. As they soared down to the audience in rapid speed, Sara tensed on instinct. Holding his breath and inching closer to Ginyami …. until the butterfly fireworks fizzles out. " …. nothing.. like that.." he let out a nervous laugh that almost sounded like a sigh. Gah - that scared him. Worse of all what if he looked ridiculous being spooked by magical fireworks to Ginyami?

" They are … less obnoxious.. you might like the muggle sort of firework's better..? " He had half the mind to say he would be willing to buy one to show Ginyami.

" But .. er.. less impressive.. even if both seem to be on the same level of uh.. loudness.. "

At Ginyami's hands on his arm, he froze. If he had moved even an inch of muscle to show that he was about to stand up, he quietly sat back down. For a moment, tongue tied while his cheek starts to mimic the same colours of Ginyami's. At least he thought it might from the minimal light the fireworks offered.

" ….S-same.." he accidentally uttered out before he felt like hiding his face in his hands. " I - I don't.. actually .. need .. I mean.. we can go together… later " God - what was he saying. Make it stop.

" ….Ginyami…" He starts slowly. " What was.. the reason you invited me?" His tone was gentle, so much so that he braced himself to lean in closer if it looked like the other boy had trouble hearing him through the loud fireworks.

Upon noticing the small smile on Sara's face, Ginyami couldn't help smiling back. To him, there were few things more wonderful than seeing Sara smile or hearing him laugh, rare as those were. However, since they'd started dating, he had begun to see them much more frequently. He hoped that hadn't changed since they had broken up. He missed them dearly.

At Sara's comment about muggle fireworks not 'making fully-shaped forms', Ginyami nodded in understanding. Ahh...so they were different because they were inferior. That made sense. But his breath caught when he felt Sara get nearer to him and looked up to see the butterfly fireworks fly low over their heads. Sara finished his sentence then and Ginyami chuckled. "...I see."

"You think I might like them better?" the shorter seventh year asked. Perhaps Sara believed that because they might have been more subtle and less showy. But wasn't that the whole point of fireworks? To be showy?

Still, he trusted Sara's instincts. "I hope you'll show me them sometime, then," he answered, leaning a little closer as his gaze remained on the sky.

At Sara's stammered words, Ginyami looked back to him innocently as if he couldn't have possibly known what might have been the cause of Sara's sudden stammering. In truth, he had a guess, but...he didn't want to assume. However, instead of asking about it, he kept quiet until he was asked a question himself.

"...The reason?" he repeated. "Well...I thought it might...be a bit like going to a festival together," he admitted, looking down as Midori had so often done before. "I thought it might be nice to watch the fireworks together, too. Especially because...we never really...got a chance to do anything like that when we were a couple."

His chuckle was dry. "Not that it matters much now, I suppose, since we aren't a couple anymore. But...I still do always enjoy your company. And...doing things like this." He looked up into Sara's dark eyes. "With you."

" Do you.. not want to try to light it up yourself? I think.. lighting it yourself feels a lot different than just watching. Even if.. they're both loud.. and… less impressive than wizard fireworks" he was about to start saying his usual line riddled with uncertainty in his own words. Like ' oh but if you dont wanna you dont have to no pressure '. But while he was mentally debating on saying it or not, Ginyami replied saying he would hope that Sara showed it to him sometimes. Effectively making Sara's usually overactive mind - quiet. Might also be because they were getting close enough to just do… something. Something what? What were they even allowed to do apart from staying silently close to eachother as possible? " We will" Sara finds himself saying, regarding fireworks. " I promise".

He didn't take promises lightly.

Then, Sara met Ginyami's eyes as he listened to his reasoning. Even if the other boys gaze flickered down, Sara remained focused on him. Suddenly, the fireworks and music weren't loud enough to even distract him from the words Ginyami was saying right now. It may have taken a little longer than necessary to reply, as part of Sara felt like if he did - there was always a chance Ginyami would look away again.

Like how the instantaneous labeling of his actions and words as 'not good enough', 'wrong', 'not ready' stopped him from saying what he wanted. But he couldn't for the life of him- despite how anxious he seemed about being sure about anything- find a reason why Ginyami wouldn't have felt the same.

Knowing (at least from what he could've guessed from their talk and tears in the hospital tent), Ginyami - despite the numerous lists of differences - was like him as well. Lonely in the face of someone who couldn't deny that staying or leaving wouldn't make a difference, as there would be hurt ebbed in them still. The kind you couldn't avoid. It would be as difficult as ignoring the sheer want to be there for one another. The swell of rare confidence, Uncertain whether disastrous or not just yet, urged Sara to say not what he feared Ginyami would feel is correct, but selfishly - in a moment of desperate yearning, what Sara wanted to say.


" I love you, Ginyami", he confesses without hesitance.

The guy that never thought anything could ever be simple because too many external factors regarding people, their feelings, experience and perception - was just at the moment, a teenage boy, nearing early adulthood - that wanted to let the person that paid so much attention - what he was feeling. An innocent want to be heard, with the rare security that he would be allowed.

" Not in the way where I'm .. asking for us to go back to that time… when we were together. But in a way that.. it… matters less for me what we are than who I feel this towards. In the end it's still you. With you. Always has been, even now. And after being so... confused about it for months worrying if this was right when really, I was avoiding admitting a key component to myself and much less anyone else." He kept looking in Ginyami's own dark eyes, though he was far too sober to maintain the eye contact.

His face flushed red. The shyness crept up to him, shrinking his shoulders in taunt tension as he faced forward, not directly torwards Ginyami.

" I.. I know what I'm saying" he says, trying to assure the other. " Everything I said .. back in the healing tent.. I meant it. Every word. And more I haven't said because I thought you'd need some rest first. But when you say things like that I- it makes me.. want to …" he struggles to find the word, the weight of his own words now suddenly making him tongue tied.

"..... is this too cheesy.." Short bursts of insecurity urged him to mumble that out. God- what was he thinking? He knew this. This was the truth. How could he just dumped all that on Ginyami now?! The painful urge to ask if he messed up clashed with the tumultuous contrasting feelings. Selfish want to let him know, the guilt of not being considerate, the fear, and the relief.

"'Lighting it up myself'? Don't you have to know a lot about fireworks to be able to set them off? Especially the muggle ones? I heard they're very dangerous," Ginyami said. "Have you set them off before? Those large ones that burst in the sky like fire flowers, right?" Then he laughed. "They're like big, bright, loud, and colorful flowers. Don't you dislike all those things together?"

But Sara's quiet resolve in his promise that Sara would show him muggle fireworks in the future made Ginyami fall silent on that subject, his face heating up intensely as a blush spread across his face. Well...if he was sure...Ginyami wasn't about to complain.

Despite his somewhat bashful demeanor, he could feel Sara's intense gaze focused on him which made him blush even more. He was about to drop his gaze again shyly when Sara spoke four words that caused Ginyami to raise his head in shock.

What?

Had Sara really just said that? He hadn't misheard or dreamt it or misunderstood, had he? Because regardless of what Sara might have felt before they had broken up, Ginyami had never expected to hear those words said honestly to him after. Not from Sara.

His mouth fell open slightly as he continued to listen to his peer speak, his eyes falling to his lips and hanging on his every word as if to reassure himself he wasn't dreaming or imagining it. Not only had Ginyami not expected those words from that person, but for shy, quiet, anxious Sara to speak so confidently, honestly, and sincerely multiplied the feeling that the events that were unfolding before him weren't really happening. He put a hand discreetly up to his own slightly-parted lips.

Sara must have known how dubious Ginyami felt about the whole situation because his next words were to assure the slightly shorter seventh year that he knew what he was saying and meant every word both before in the healing tent and just then. But then, that reassurance and the knowledge that Ginyami needed to be reassured just went to show how Sara knew him so well.

"...It's not too cheesy," he answered when asked, though his voice was barely more than a whisper. He tried to meet and hold Sara's gaze again.

"...Makes you want to...what?"

Sara listened to Ginyami talking about muggle fireworks, questioning Sara's suggestion with if he even knew how to use them, and how this would even be remotely appealing to Sara given his preferences. The quidditch beater found comfort in the fact that despite all of this questioning, Ginyami never actually said no. In fact, he seemed shy but accepting at Sara's promise. The scene itself was going to be remembered in fondness for the future. Though Sara could've answered any of his questions, he didn't. Instead, he struggled to keep a sheepish smile off his face.

Considering their last conversation, Sara was convinced the other had a lot to say at such a big claim. He could see how astounded it left Ginyami. Sara had seen Ginyami speak so clearly sharp- hitting weak points, questioning standpoints, as well as flattering praise. If someone like that was speechless… then it only signaled to Sara that it was no regular shock. The corner of Sara's lips turned upwards just a little, though almost sadly. A natural reaction to knowing the other absolutely had no idea. Or perhaps, Ginyami wouldn't let himself believe it.

He opened his mouth, but then closed it. Instead he took out his wand - mostly unused if he was being honest- and casted, " ..muff-LEE-ah-toe..". He had doubt the charm would be casted at all, but he trusted in the uninterested looks of people nearby.

" …I think.. most people would be too focused on the fireworks but.. it should feel as if.. its just us now, I think.." Sara took another long look at Ginyami first. Taking in each of his features, every minuscule fraction of a change in expression. Before he could even think twice about it, his hand reached out to brush the side of Ginyami's hair, halting for a moment before his fingertips could ghost over the dark strands, silently asking permission. If given any indication of permission he would gently brush the hair that fell near his ears.

" When you say things like that… it makes me .. recall every single time your existence had undoubtedly…effected me. Positively. Not just to remember, but also just..embody. To remind you of how all you've shown me - makes me want to do things I didn't think was worth doing for a reason too selfish. For example… like doing things just for the sake of if it brings me joy. " He says sheepishly. " For example… letting you know how I feel now.. instead of ensuring you are okay with it first. If you.. have current emotional capacity. If you even want to hear this now.. of all times" He explains further in a quieter tone.

" You can be mad at me… It won't change how I feel now". And it was true. He could only guess that just like Sara's discomfort with receiving kind words he didn't deserve, Ginyami could very well push every word away. Unfortunate for Ginyami, Sara had been playing the same painful mind game. "… I am… blessed to have many kind people around me that inspire me " he thinks of that kind artist he met at Diagon Alley. Emmalee and her easygoing demeanor. Miharu and her quiet consideration. " And that undoubtedly includes you."

" You are not some… sinner that needs to face atonement.. you're not just a resource for convenience either .. only here to benefit, even if it's to your own expense. So when you talk as if you are.. it makes me … think of my wants for once, instead of actively setting it aside, for what other people want from me. A .. a very.. difficult.. change, at that. You can say it's only because I put in the effort but I don't think I could come to that conclusion on my own. And you have been a constant influence that contributed to that. So you'd remember, that … you are good. To me. As you are. And you've always been. Whether as Hikari, yourself, or otherwise. ". He smiles gently, for once not covering his smile. Knowing Ginyami had shown far too much care for him to let something as simple as a smile to wedge itself as a concern in between all the much more important things he wanted to tell the other boy. " Why... wouldn't I fall for someone like you?". It was a rhetorical question, and he hoped it conveyed just as much through his tone. And maybe how he unconsciously leaned in way closer than he planned in the beginning.

" ….How… do you feel now…hearing all this?" He couldn't help but ask, the concern creeping in his tone as he observed Ginyami. But he wanted to make it known he valued how Ginyami was feeling too. The last thing he wanted was to dump all this, and call it a closed chapter. Even if it were to disagree with him. The fireworks were still going on in the background, and Sara could faintly see what was going by his peripheral vision and the amazed voices of those around him. But nothing else seemed to even be able to grasp his attention other than the boy sitting nearest to him now. " If.. you prefer we take a breather, you only need to be honest with me.."

As if Ginyami didn't have enough to be impressed about, Sara performed a spell to try to keep them from being overheard, which Ginyami appreciated. He knew Sara might not have been the best at performing magic, but had tried anyway for their sake. The mere thought warmed his heart and he continued to listen to what Sara had to say with wonder and fondness apparent in his gaze.

When the taller student reached out to brush his hair but paused just over it, Ginyami closed his eyes and leaned into his touch, wordlessly granting the permission that had been just as wordlessly asked. It still all felt so dream-like he could hardly swallow the idea that the hand that touched his hair so tenderly was Sara's.

His eyes opened again, though, when Sara started speaking once more, wanting his peer to know he was paying full attention to his words.

"I'm...glad you feel more like doing those things," Ginyami said slowly with a soft smile. "I understand not wanting to be too selfish, but there is a balance to try to achieve and I always thought you were never selfish enough. It is a relief you are doing more things for yourself, now; for your own sake. Especially because...in doing things for your own sake, you may be making others just as happy if not even happier in the process."

"Why would I be mad at you?" he chuckled. "Truly, I am...more grateful than words can express. But..."

Before he could continue what he was going to day, Sara spoke up again. He spoke more than Ginyami had heard from him in a long time, especially for him to have said it all at once. He continued to listen and he swallowed hard as a lump began to form in his throat. Only when he was certain the other young man was finished speaking, asking how he felt about hearing all that and telling him they could take a breather if Ginyami was honest with him, did the pureblood shake his head vehemently.

"How can you say I'm good? Especially to you?!" he asked, looking acutely distressed. "'Why wouldn't you fall for someone like me'?! Maybe because I hurt you? And not just once, either! Time and time again! I hurt us both! Our relationship! And I may just continue to hurt you when all you've ever been is good to me, giving me chance after chance!" He looked into Sara's dark eyes, his own shining with moisture and unshed tears. "You could do...so much better. We both know it. You could find someone who treats you as kindly as you treat them. Who doesn't force you to make tough decisions in order for you to be able to grow as a person. I...I don't deserve to be loved by you, Sara!""
