The room was wrapped in darkness. The sheets, which absorbed the sweat of the two, reflected the faint light shining from the outside world, drawing a fine pattern like white ripples.
"... what is that sound?"
Whispering as if to prick from between the painful breaths, Fernand turned his eyes to the windowsill for the first time.
"It's the sound of fireworks."
"Hanabi..."
The prince exhaled deeply, as if a small boat, which had been tossed by the raging waves, finally began to drift through the storm and drift to the calm water surface.
Just as the fierceness to the last minute was a lie, long fingers gently lifted up the hair that had clung to the prince's forehead. The prince had uncertain sight for a while, but he suddenly noticed the dull, dull glowing bangs of Fernand. The golden hair was tinged with the light of fireworks and had a faint color. The prince reached for his hand.
"Light, but..."
Fernand laughed grinningly, entwined his thin fingers and slowly hugged the prince's body.
"Look out the window. Is it beautiful?"
With the sound, light particles scatter in the dark sky in a flower pattern. It was colorful and vivid, and the prince briefly glanced at it.
--I remember hearing this sound somewhere...where was it...
As the prince was dimly thinking about it, his body was once again sunk into the sheets.
"...I remembered..."
While enduring the fierce waves of thrusting up again, the prince desperately gathered the thread of memory.
"Slightly before I came here... I heard this sound in the basement room."
Fernan's movement has stopped.
"I think it's been a long time since I wasn't looking at me or the doctor anymore... and then I heard this sound."
The prince turned his burning face toward the window.
"I couldn't see anything from that room... but there was such a beautiful thing in the sky."
Fernand squinted his eyes and looked down at the prince's sweat and tears. Innocent eyes swayed there, unaware of the sounds of cannons and bombs.
"I didn't know...it was so beautiful"
The sound of fireworks becomes more and more intense, and the night sky is dyed with vivid light.
"Me too..."
The lips of the prince are broken by Fernand's tongue. The violent movement was screaming violently, making a sound of water as if to quench the thirst.
"I didn't know...it was so beautiful..."
The storm never passed by all night.
The next morning, when the prince woke up, Fernand wasn't there. Finally, with the help of Miri, he took a bath and laid his fluttering body on a brand new sheet.
"I will bring the meal here, Prince"
"No, eat at the table"
"No, I have instructions from Mr. Fernand, so please relax in bed today."
The prince naturally slumped with a hot face. Perhaps Miri knows everything about last night, and if so, it's too embarrassing...
――Fernand said you would do that.
What kind of behavior is that? It was like running in a storm. This morning, my whole body hurts inside and outside, and I can't even walk. Suddenly the prince was concerned about Fernand's physical condition.
"Fernand went to work"
"Yes"
"so..."
The prince was reluctant to do so, perhaps. Then Milli took a step forward.
"Hey, Fernand had to go out early in the morning and hesitated to wake him up. I've never looked down on him."
"Are you sure?"
The prince looked up at him.
"I must have regretted Fernand for forcing the prince."
"...Uh, is Fernand's body okay?"
"What?"
Milli repeated blinks. The prince is lying down with his eyebrows down.
"My body hurts so much... I wonder if Fernand is okay."
"..."
"I can sleep in bed, Fernand can't take a break from work?"
Fernand's footsteps I saw this morning seemed to be light and in a good mood on the back of Milli's mind, but there is no reason for the Prince to know.
"It's okay. Fernand-sama has a lot of strength."
