Prompt #5- Shooting Stars


Robbie stretched out on the sand, tracing the patterns of the stars with his fingers. He murmured softly to himself, ignoring the quiet snickering to his left. A streak of light shot across the sky and a smile broke out across his face. He loved shooting stars. Robbie tucked his arms behind his head.

“What are you doing?”

The quiet was shattered and he sighed. “I’m just looking at the constellations.” He saw Kim give a stretch and look at him.

“Like what?”

He grinned at the vampire before pointing up at the sky. “That’s Scorpius, the scorpion. It’s supposed to represent a scorpion that Orion killed in Greek mythology.”

“A scorpion.” Kim sat up slightly and narrowed his eyes at where Robbie was pointing. He could see a glimmer of gold appear between the eyelids before realizing that Kim was shifting his eye sight, trying to see what his friend saw. Finally, he gave up and leaned back down. “I don’t see it.”

Robbie shook his head and leaned closer to his friend. “Well, look to the right of it. That’s Lupus, the wolf. You see where it groups right there? That’s the head. And those right there? Those are the legs.” He glanced over to the vampire next to him only to find his face mere inches from the other’s.

He blushed, pulling back, only to be stopped by a hand on the shoulder. Kim was staring at him with an undistinguishable expression. “Yeah, I see it.” But he wasn’t looking up at the stars anymore.


Kim was looking straight at Robbie. A grin covered the vampire’s face and that was all the warning that he got before Kim pounced, effectively pinning him down.

Robbie blinked up at him, before Kim leaned down and pressed their lips together.
