Morishiki Oneshots || Corpse Party

||➖🌸💕|| Longest Night ||

The stars seemed to stretch on forever, dancing throughout the night sky. Kishinuma's eyes pleasantly gazed up into the endless expanses of the galaxy. He let out a breath of contentment as he relaxed further into the soft grass that he lay on. "This is nice."

"Indeed," The boy who was laying beside him replied, gently. His glasses reflected the breath-taking sky beautifully. The two boys lay in silence for a while, taking in the sights and each other's company. "Do you know about the constellations?"

"Not really, no," Kishinuma sighed, glancing over to Morishige. "Do you?"

"Actually, I do. It was just a light read I did in my spare time but I learned quite a lot." His hand reached out upward towards the night. He traced his finger along the stars, almost as if he could join them together himself. "Do you know about that one?"

Kishinuma's eyes followed Morishige's outstretched finger into the sky. "Yeah, The Big Dipper, of course I know about that one."

"Well, did you also know that The Big Dipper is actually part of a larger constellation called Ursa Major?"

"Ursa what-now?"

"Ursa Major. It's a constellation that is in the shape of a bear."

Yoshiki squinted at the sky curiously. "Really? Just looks like... Stars."

Morishige chuckled quietly. "Well, maybe to you. It is often used as a sign of the north."

"Huh. The more you know, I guess. Hey, what about that bright star a little away from The Big Dipper?"

"That? That's the north star, also known as Polaris. It's the 40th brightest star in the sky."

"And it's called the north star, because...?"

"Because it sits in the direction of the spin axis for the northern hemisphere."

Yoshiki opened his mouth to speak, before taking a moment to think about what Morishige just said. "...Could you say that again in English?"

"Think of it like this; if you were to go to the north pole and look for the North Star, it would be directly above you," Morishige explained, bringing his hand back down to the grass beneath him.

Kishinuma sat up from the grass, the flattened blades leaving behind an imprint of his body. He tilted his head at Morishige. "You're such a nerd, you know that?" He smirked, playfully.

Morishige sat up also, meeting Kishinuma's gaze. "But, I'm your nerd, aren't I?"

"Hell yeah, you are. C'mere." Kishinuma chuckled, reaching an arm around Morishige and bringing him in closer. The two of them sat huddled together as the stars above them shone their brightest.
