2- Sunset Before Our Eyes

- Enzo's pov-

"No need to be embarrassed, blackberry," They said. That's the first time they gave me a nickname, a real nickname, and it was kind of nice.

"I need to sleep and stop blushing cause you might turn into a real tomato." They giggled with a soft smile.

I put both my hands beside me and relaxed them, I looked like I was about to pass out from exhaustion.

"Geez I'm gonna get into so much trouble just by hanging out with them, good thing I have Steve, Hunter won't be of any help to me" I thought as I slowly let my tiredness take over my body. My eyes fluttered until I could no longer see or feel anything.

I opened my eyes, and Mariah was gone, "H-huh." My voice sounded sleepy.

My vision was blurry as I looked around. I rubbed my eyes gently and blinked a few times, and my vision cleared, but Mariah was nowhere to be seen. The wind picked up a little bit.

I panicked a little until I looked up and saw them high up. They were looking at the sky?

I looked at the blue sky and saw it.

The pastel colors of orange, pink, and purple plastered all over the sky, covering almost the entire great blue.

They looked as if mesmerized by the colors that covered the sky. It... It was indeed beautiful, and they were just admiring the scenery without distractions.

Their hair waved up and down lightly like an ocean, their feet were crossed, and their hands were holding onto the staff, but they didn't dare to look down like they were scared to fall down and hit the hard ground.

I got my staff out, flew toward them, and blew their neck. Startled, they looked behind and saw that it was me. Their eyes widened in shock. But they weren't terrified, scared or anything, they were just surprise to see me.

"Hey Blackberry, how was your sleep?" They asked, obviously sarcastic as always, as they raised their eyebrow, and the other stayed down. They continued to grin at me jokingly, patiently waiting for my sarcastic comeback.

"It was fine... Until you left." I looked down and toned down my voice in a sappy and depressed way as a joke. I heard them giggling at my sappy joke and looked up at them with a smile.

"We can go back to sleep." They announced jokingly and chuckled, but I took that personally. Their chuckling was so light it sounded like a pin falling.

"Actually, I prefer to be here watching the sunset. Sunset watching, " I stated calmly, as they looked over me with a disoriented expression splashed on their face, as if waiting for my next words.

"What?" I looked at them, bewildered, as if I wasn't supposed to mention that. "I didn't know that the strong and powerful Silver guard loved... Sunsets?" They said 'sunset' as if it wasn't a real word.

"Why? Am I not allowed to?" I uttered, slightly offended by their statement. I leaned in forward to their face, making them a little bit flustered. A light pink blush could be seen on their pale cheeks.
