They screamed .

Atsushi was kicked off the bed, literally.

'You filthy rat! What are you doing in MY bed? With such an oily back, huh?'

'What?'

'Oh wait. That's my fault.'

__________

It was after breakfast, that Akutagawa finally apologised, and told Atsushi to take a day off to let his back rest, and not to get any more sunburned.

He said that they could continue their library lesson, as they both had nothing to do.

And so they went, to the library, sat down in those antique chairs around the long, rectangular table right in the middle of the room, and continued their education.

___________

Well after nine, as both men decided that their session was over, they got up and left.

Although Atsushi didn't leave.

He stayed behind, then opened the door to the balcony and stepped outside.

The view was amazing.

He stared at the night blue sky, sprayed with stars, the field on which he worked, the sea reflecting the moonlight, and finally, the moon itself.

It was absolutely unbelievable, and Atsushi was mesmerised, until he was touched on the shoulder and shaken out of his trance.

'You can go on the rooftop, you know?' Sir said as he pointed in the direction of a ladder, next to the door, leading up to the roof.

'Oh.'

___________

There was a telescope up on the roof.

Lord Akutagawa quite very much believed in Astrology.

He still does.

And so, he showed the Jinko how to use a telescope, as he stated that this is 'important knowledge' and that it's part of their 'lessons'.

And on the other hand, Atsushi was fascinated by it all.

The stars, planets, the moon.

He felt a deep connection with the moon.

Like a soulmate bond, or an attraction. A pull. Like a magnet.

He listened carefully to what Sir said, and asked carefully thought-out questions, which made Akutagawa very happy.

Then, they fell asleep.

Under the stars, the moon and protected by Sir's 'holy' telescope.

Under the night sky, as dark as depression, and as lit up as a Christmas festival.

They slept.
