Yamamoto wondered why he never saw brighter stars until now. The tiny sparks dazzled brilliantly against the dark backdrop of the night sky.
Perhaps Death had finally started to lay its tendrils on him. He thought he saw a star blinking, in a way that it was meant only for him. Was it beckoning him?

The atmosphere of the night was calming. Even more so as they stood beside each other, shoulder rubbing shoulder, arm touching arm, in comfortable silence. He remembered feeling so small looking at the vast night sky twinkling so brilliantly with all its starry glory.
"Those are dead people up there you know," Gokudera's quiet voice slid almost seamlessly into the cool air of the night. Yamamoto turned to look at him, puzzled at the sudden philosophical topic. He was saying it with the air of confidence when stating facts. "When people die they become stars."
Yamamoto looked as Gokudera fixated his longing gaze on the sky. He flashed a gentle smile. A warm hand interlaced its fingers with elegant, long ones. "So even when we become stars we must be together, okay?"
"......idiot."

The first night without his father in this world was terrible. Painfully terrible. He completely forgot how to smile, got betrayed by smiling-was-supposed-to-make-everything-okay. He cried his heart out. He let his tears, sweat, mucus, saliva stain Gokudera's shirt, while Gokudera just kneeled there and continued holding him. He was numb to the pained fingers digging into his skin. The wails, chokes, sniffs and parched cries of 'Dad' were piercing, coming from the ambient Rain.
It took one whole night for lethargy to finally consume Yamamoto. Even though both fell into their much-needed slumber, the room continued hearing trembling grumbles. The only time it was silent was when Yamamoto was awake. He looked at the sky and spotted a very bright shimmer. He could almost hear it, someone whispering into his ears 'it's okay, Takeshi'.
"Dad..." Moisture blurred his vision again. But it's not okay. It's not okay when someone who has been such a huge part of your life vanishes without even saying a word. So silently, he begged for his father to continue remaining a star, so he would never disappear again.

Sometimes they like to stroll along the beach, hand in hand, kick the sand and dip their feet in the gentle waves, and sit on the highest spot on the highest cliff there. There, they would talk. To each other, to themselves, to the sea, to the sky, to the stars, to their stars.
---
The first night spent without Gokudera was also horrible, but much worse. He had nobody to hold on to while he cried, no one there to give soothing rubs on his back, no energy to even make a sound. What time had left him with is silent tear drops. He couldn't bawl like he did in his youth. Age had caught up with him, but it had long overtaken Gokudera.
One new star was born in the night sky. Its gleaming ray caressed the side of Yamamoto's wrinkle-etched face. It said, "You'd better take your time, you big idiot."
---
People seated by his bedside watched eagerly, many of them eyes welling with wetness. He led a good life in eighty years; to have a caring father, to have so many loyal friends, to have gone through mind blowing adventures, to have met the lover he will forever give his heart to. If there was ever a point in his life he could say he has no regrets, it would be have been now. The remaining of his strength pooled into his lips as they pulled into the last brilliant smile.
He held Gokudera's outstretched hand, and took a long walk with him to the sky.
End! I didn't really like this. And I'm hating myself for the gay ending. -.- So I didn't cross post this to the 8059 comm, so if you happen to read this consider yourself unlucky then! XD But thanks for reading till the end anyway! O: I just hope that this is where my 8059 groove comes back. (Baby come back to meeeee.)
