It was late in the evening when the return trip ended. The night, whose stars bloomed under the pale light of the Moon, had already replaced the heat of the day, embracing this tired world without hesitation.
As a result, the Staraptor redoubled her precautions so as not to disturb the surrounding families, landing with perfectly controlled delicacy.
- { Finally back! How are you feeling, great clumsy oaf?}
- Nervous. Tired. And maybe also a little anxious?
- { I wonder why.}
The redhead chuckled, barely containing his laughter. Now was not the time to burst out laughing like a maniac!
- (Come on, come on! Calm down both of you. Let's already try to see if there's anyone still awake.)
- { That would be good, actually. Keith? Are you in charge of checking if we can come inside?}
- Ok, but I don't guarantee anything!
The teenager approached the front door, and after taking a deep breath, knocked softly. A long moment passed, making the boy think that the family should be sleeping. Logic.
As he was about to give up and offer to his group to spend the night at the Union, the door opened, revealing the tired figure of the mother.
- What can I do for...- Keith?! It's really you?!
The strawberry blonde grabbed the youngest by the shoulders, thus preventing him from fleeing while making sure that she was not dreaming.
- Sorry to have taken so long....But, it's good. I got it. I have the Lunar Wing!
To prove his words, he held out his "treasure" which rested in the palm of his hands. Upon seeing the object, the woman's shoulders dropped as a silent tear rolled down her face.
- Oh thank Arceus...!
She gently wiped away her tear, before giving the redhead a soft smile and moving away.
- Come in, you must all be exhausted.
The group accepted the adult's offer without hesitation, quickly stepping inside. Strangely, the only human of the trio felt his body relax a little.
When was the last time he felt safe inside a house?
-...You must all be hungry, right? Sit down while I make you something to eat, okay?
The teenager weighed the pros and cons, visibly very tempted, however...
- That's very kind of you, ma'am. But, if you don't mind, can you wait a few minutes? I...I'm going to go wake Kellyn up, and he'll most likely be hungry, too. Is that fine with you...?
The mother gave an "Oh" of surprise, before chuckling softly, looking tender.
- Do what you have to do. And don't worry, take your time. A good meal is not done in 5 minutes, haha!
The boy felt his cheeks heat up, but that didn't stop him from smiling.
-...Thank you.
He wanted so much to say something else, yet he knew deep down that his words could never replace his actions. So, he headed upstairs, then Kellyn's room, hugging the Lunar Wing preciously against him.
Ah....Since when was he shaking like this?
Well, it was hardly important. He had a much more important job to do.
- Come on Keith, you can do it. There's no reason it shouldn't work.
The one with the crimson pupils took several deep breaths, then, once he deemed himself ready, cautiously entered the bedroom. The first thing he noticed was that only the faint light of the Moon was illuminating the room ever so slightly...As well as the sleeping face of his boyfriend.
