Sunlight: Person A and B waking up to see the light shining in the window while they're cuddling.

Moonlight: Person A and B sitting outside together late at night and as the temperature drops, they snuggle up together.

Starlight: Person A has always lived in big cities so they haven't been able to really see the stars well so Person B drives them out, far away from the city, to show them what the stars really look like.

A/N: Person A is Alex and Person B is Hank.

Sunlight:

Hank was in the library reading away as Alex was sprawled on top of him with his head on his chest. "Why is it that I can't go anywhere without seeing you two being all sickly sweet!" Angel groans and Alex looks at her. "I don't know. Your timing I guess?" He says confused and Hank hums as he flips the page. "Come on Angel, leave them be." Darwin says and she nods. "Fine." She says softly and cuddles up to her own boyfriend. "As you were saying?" Alex said, raising an eyebrow and she rolls her eyes. "Shut up Summers." She snips and he grins.

Alex yawns as he settles back down and listens as Hank's heartbeat thumps strongly. Like a soothing lullaby that makes Alex start to doze off. As he slowly starts to fall asleep he hears Hank talking to Darwin and fingers running through his hair. Alex hums appreciative and he lets sleep pull him fully under.

Thump, thump, thump.

That was the first then he hears and heat is the first thing he feels. He hums as his eyes slowly open and he frowns. What? Where was he? This is not his or Hank's bedroom. He sits up a little and looks around. Oh, they were still in the library, okay then. Alex hands fumbles around for his phone and squints to check the time. Eight in the morning? Wasn't is ten at night a second ago? He yawns as he puts the phone back onto the table and sees Hank lightly sleeping. "Hank." He says quietly. "Hank." He says louder when he didn't get a response. "Hmm?" He hears and his boyfriend's eyes open.

"What? Oh, we must have fallen asleep while we were cuddling." He says after a second he checks his surroundings. "God I need a shower." Alex says while wrinkling his nose as he finally stands up on shaky legs. "So do I." Hank grumbles and Alex takes his paw as he drags him up to his room. "Still a good morning though." He hears his boyfriend say and the blonde couldn't stop the smile if he tried.

He couldn't have been more right.

Moonlight:

Alex loves full moons.

It was the only time he could see the moonlight shine into his tiny cell through the tiny window. He would always climb onto his cement bunk and look up to see the full moon. He would stare at it all night until the sun came out. It was really the only reason why he would look out his window.

Tonight is going to be a full moon. He has always loved the moon and the stars and the constellations. He barely remembers them now and he tries to ignore the sadness that coursed through him intensely, but full moons he always made sure when they came out. "Hey babe, what's with the blanket?" Hank asks confused when they walk by and Alex grins. "Tonight's a full moon. I'm just going outside to look at it." He says and couldn't help the blush that spreads across his cheeks.

He hated when people finds out that he likes this kind of stuff, bullies at school always teased him for it. He was glad that he doesn't remember there harsh words and their names to matched. "Do you mind if I join you?" Hank asks and the blonde was taken aback. He wasn't expecting that reaction. He knew for a fact that he had a soft smile in his direction and his heart skips a beat. "Yeah." He says quietly and Hank beams and wraps an arm around his boyfriend's shoulder.

"I never knew you liked the moon." He comments and Alex shrugs with a grin. "That's the best part about relationships, learning something new about them every day." He says and the brunette laughs. He smiles, feeling glad that the scientist finally got over the fact that he was blue. Alex feels even happier knowing that he was the cause of having Hank accept himself. Though, every once in a while he still takes the pill to make him the lanky nerd again, but the other students liked his beast side. Alex does too.

Alex throws the blanket down on the ground and sits down on top of it. He looks up to see the moon shining and bright. Almost like it was smiling down at him, whispering that he was safe and that it will always protect him. He would never say any of this out loud, he knew it sounded weird but it was still comforting for him.

Hank looks up as well and it was a little chilly, but it wasn't bothering either men since they have higher body temperatures then most people.

They don't know how long they've spent outside, sitting in comfortable silence in the moonlight. Alex knew it was late since the temperature dropped making it cold for him. He shivers and the beast wraps a furry arm around his waist and pulls him close. Alex smiles and curls up into his arms.

Silently he thanks the moon for staying with him throughout the years. Thanks the full moon for giving him his boyfriend, thanks her silently for everything good that has happened in his life so far. He knows she will never leave him until the day he dies.

Starlight:

All six teenagers were sitting at the table during dinner. Neither of them picking a fight thankfully, but instead, having a nice conversation. "Man you know what else I love? The stars." Raven says and everyone agrees. "Especially since the moon is away and there are thousands of them in the sky, almost like a painting." Charles says and Erik snorts but still lovingly takes his lover's hand.

"When I was little, and I still do it every night, I would look out my window to look at them." Sean says and smiles. "It always reminds me of home." Hank smiles and Alex shrugs. "I don't know. I haven't really seen the stars." Alex says and regrets his words as they all stare at him. "What are all of you looking at?" He growls angrily, not liking their stares one bit.

"How have you not seen the stars?" Raven asks and the blonde rolls his eyes. "I was in a tiny cement box with nothing but gray walls and a cement bed." He says bitterly and nearly screams at their reactions. He doesn't need their pity.

"Alright children, what about we go to bed." Charles says and Alex nods at him gratefully to get the attention off of him. As they walk off in different directions, Alex quickly walks up the stairs and was about to open his door when someone grabs his wrist. Alex yanks hard and turns to glare at Hank. "Hey relax, do you trust me?" He asks and Alex wants to laugh. Trust this bozo? Please.

He gives him a curt nod, not in the mood to have everyone on him because he hurt the bozo precious feelings and lets the nerd drag him away. The blonde was confused when Hank drags him outside and away from the mansion. "Okay bozo, if your plan is to finally kill me, just know that I can kill you faster." He scowls and the brunette shushes him. "I'm not going to kill you." He says quietly and the blonde scoffs.

Yeah right.

He was just about to call it quits when Hank suddenly stops and Alex nearly runs into him. He was thankful that it was so dark out since he could feel his cheeks burning. "Look up." He whispers and Alex sighs but looks up. Holy shit.

His breathe was taken away and he lets go of Hank's hand as he takes a couple more steps out into the field. There was so many stars twinkling and shining. He couldn't stop the smile that spreads and he couldn't stop the laugh that escapes his throat. "When I heard you didn't see the stars, I wanted to change that. It's not fair that you couldn't see them for so long." Hank says after awhile and Alex looks over at him. "Thanks Hank. You didn't have to." He says softly and he could barely see the sheepish grin while shrugging his shoulders.

"I felt like I needed to." He says and Alex's heart skips a beat. He scolds his heart for having feelings for the bozo and ignores the feeling. "Thanks, you've turned out to be a decent guy." He says and the brunette smiles. "I think that's the nicest thing you ever said to me." Hank jokes and Alex shrugs. "Can't be mean when you showed me what the stars really looked like." He whispers and both boys look back up at the night sky.
