The ocean sang to the night, waves whispering secrets to the sand as the moon bathed the beach in silvery light. A lone figure twirled barefoot in the shallows, laughter carried on the breeze as water splashed and sparkled around them. Their movements were fluid, alive—an effortless dance born of joy and freedom.
From his perch above, Aventurine stood at the edge of the cliff, peering down at the scene below. The cold wind tousled his sandy-blond hair, and the sound of crashing waves drowned out his thoughts. He had come here seeking silence, a moment to weigh his options—or perhaps, to escape them entirely.
But then, they appeared.
His striking magenta and cyan eyes followed the person in the water. Moonlight kissed their skin, casting an ethereal glow that blurred the line between dream and reality. Every spin, every leap, every unrestrained laugh seemed to defy the weight of the world.
“Who is this person?” Aventurine whispered to himself, the words slipping out before he could stop them. His gloved hand rested on the lapel of his coat, clutching it as if it would steady him. He felt an unfamiliar tightness in his chest—a hesitation he wasn’t accustomed to.
“Oh my. They’re... beautiful.”
The thought struck him like a lightning bolt, shattering the composed mask he always wore. His calculated mind scrambled for logic, for an explanation as to why he couldn’t look away. Perhaps it was their carefree nature that enthralled him—a stark contrast to his own meticulously planned existence.
Or perhaps it was the way they seemed to glow with life, as though the moon itself had come down to dance with them.
