when you explained to me jupiter - tsukiyama

ミ six ミ

Tsukishima was completely obsessed with dinosaurs, and only allowed this childishness to be shown in front of his best friend. Almost every day, he talked about curiosity about prehistoric animals, and during his research, he ended up discovering the etymology of Stegosaurus.

Stege means something like "a roof" and Sauros means "lizard". The plates found in the fossil resembled roof tiles, so they put the names together and Stegosaurus was the result.

This was fascinating to him. The logic worked with both other dinosaurs and words in general, which made him search more and more about the meaning of words and what made them.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, as usual. There was no school, there was no training, there was nobody, just the two of them with too tired eyes to face the TV again and play super smash bros. Instead, they just lay on Yamaguchi's spacious bed, letting the golden evening light gently touch their faces.

"Yamaguchi." The blonde called, sitting on the bed.

"Yes, Tsukki?" At that moment, the voice came out a little broken, a consequence of puberty, but it wasn't as if someone called much.

"Do you know how they created the word Jupiter?"

"No." He replied attentively.

Tsukishima sighed, but he didn't look angry. He just looked like he was going to take a breath before he started talking, like he was getting ready.

"Jupiter is the Father God of Roman mythology. The Father God in Latin is 'Dio pater', which in time was reduced to 'Iupater'." He looked out the window, facing the garden outside. "Again, the word became 'Iupiter', and finally, Jupiter. What do you think?"

The moment they met, Tsukishima's golden eyes were brighter than ever. It wasn't just the sun, but he was genuinely happy to talk about Jupiter. It was at that moment that Yamaguchi felt his heart beat faster, and his cheeks were being tinted in red.

He will never forget those eyes when his friend talked about Jupiter.

"That's amazing, Tsukki!"

end.

Notes: (from Pipoces)

The idea of the fanfic is not mine, it belongs to a friend of mine, who I just developed and added some things
Who explained Jupiter's etymology to me was my history teacher, who is one of the most brilliant guys I know. He told me that at the beginning of the year and I haven't stopped thinking about it until now.
It was fun to search for new words! Apparently, English is advanced, so I don't know if everyone understood some of the words I used, so I'm going to leave the meaning down here for people who are as lay as I am ^^
-Whimsical: unusual and strange in a way that might be funny or annoying
- Circumspect: careful not to take risks
- Flabbergasted: feeling shocked, usually because of something you were not expecting
- Schadenfreude: a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction when something bad happens to someone else
- Ineffable: causing so much emotion, especially pleasure, that it cannot be described
- Abysmal: (This word has two meanings, which I used the literal, I hope I didn't get ambiguous) very bad (adjective) or very deep (literal)
- Adulation: very great admiration or praise for someone, especially when it is more than is deserved
- Encomium: a piece of writing, speech, etc. that praises someone or something
