'Sunset again,' The man mused. The daytime was always so bright. Night just seemed to suit him better... it helped his mood.
   Splayed out against the base of a fountain, he watched the colors shifting in the skies. This fountain was located in a remote park off of New York City. Except the people who knew it didn't consider it a "park" as more of a nature preserve; there was one sad playground standing roughly 200 yards from the man.
   Speaking of the man, his name was Moon. A raven haired, deep green eyed, fair skinned man he tended to keep away from public matters. People tended to amuse him, in their own way...
   A sprinkling of stars touched in the night sky brought a tiny smirk onto his face. Night again.
   Wandering around the same park was another man who had jet black hair that went down to his chin with his bangs, going just past his forehead, falling in front of his piercing red eyes. He leaned against a tree and stared at the sun as it sank over the horizon and stars started to appear across the sky.
   After a moment of dwelling on his own thoughts he looked around and soon spotted the playground that was not too far from him. He smirked a little, and began walking over to it, amused by how childish his decision must have seemed.
   Humming underneath his breath, Moon folded his hands behind his head and leaned back into the pool of water surrounding the fountain. It felt wonderful to be alone, especially this late. But then, he lifted his head up and glanced around. Had those been footsteps he heard? Perhaps it was just his wild imagination.
   The other man, named Iro, continued to walk over to the playground until he finally reached it and sat down on one of the swings on the swingset that was there before gazing up at the sky once again, "..."
   A tiny grin graced Moon's face. That man on the swings looked awfully familiar. He was tempted to get up and shout but, hey, he didn't work that way. Placing a hand in the water he used magic to lift it out, form it into a ball, and shot it in Iro's direction.
   Iro was lost in his own thoughts, so when the ball of water flew over and hit him in the face, it definitely caught him off guard. He shook his head and looked around for the person who threw it and his eyes quickly settled on Moon. Raising an eyebrow and smirking in amusement he waved for him to come over.
   Moon shook his head with a soft chuckle. 'Interesting.' Flicking his wrist, he disappeared and reappeared nearby Iro. He took the last couple yards at a stride, and then leaned against a pole that supported the swingset. "You're out late tonight," He observed with a smirk.
   "I see you are too." Iro remarked as he kicked the sand at his feet, "It's very nice out though."
   "Extremely. I hear on the streets there's going to be a full moon tonight." Moon's eyes twinkled, and he smirked. "Not that I'm ever really on the streets without causing a panic..." He laughed lightly, a silky sound. "You know how that works, of course."
   "Hmm." Iro nodded at the new piece of information he got, "I look forward to seeing that." He said as he stared up at the sky and chuckled slightly at his comment.
   "Of course you do," Moon added, now taking a seat on the swing next to Iro. "If you don't mind, I'll come with. Full moons are my favorite event in nature, besides the rain." His fingers curled idly around the chains of the swing, bringing with it a tiny smirk.
   Iro blinked as he watched Moon take a seat on the swing next to him before he nodded and smiled, "Yeah... I have to agree with you on that one..." He said, "I love full moons."
   "Great." Moon shot Iro a devious grin. "Then you can follow me. I know a greaaat place." But he didn't specify, just leaned back in the seat. "So tell me what you've been up to lately."
   Iro rose an eyebrow in curiosity before he smirked and shrugged, "Whatever you say." He said, "I haven't been up to much lately." He said, "You've been around for almost everything that I have been up to so far anyway."  
   Moon waved a hand in the air vaguely. "Details, details. You must be doing something other than murder." He laughed airily. "Take me, for example. Don't mean to brag but I make a mean Shirley Temple."
   Iro glanced over at Moon and chuckled, "Heh, are you sure you aren't on one of those Shirley Temples right now?" He asked with a smirk, "Well, I'll let you in on a secret." He said after a moment, "I've been coming here every night for the past week or so because it helps me clear my thoughts."  
   "You'd know if I were drunk," Moon scolded. "But, hmm..." He sat up straight in his seat. "Funny how nature seems to do that to you. Clearing your thoughts, that is. It can be such a drug sometimes because it's addicting in that way."
   Iro slowly nodded and smirked, "Maybe it's the moon that does it." He said, "It can do things to people." He said, "Especially to me for some reason."
   "You're not the only one." Moon leapt from the swing, grinning from ear to ear. "And speaking of that moon would you like to go and see it or not? I told you I know this super sweet spot. Perfect view and everything."
   "Sure." Iro said, grinning, and standing up as he put his hands on his hips, "Lead the way."
   Moon made an ironic little bow as his grin turned into a smirk. "If you can keep up," He teased lightly. Then he skipped ahead, laughing like a child. Oh, this was going to be fun.
   Iro laughed as Moon ran off and he followed behind him with a strange feeling that he was going to get more then he bargained for.
