Egotober Day 5: Light of the Moon

Jackaboy Man rushed through the streets, zipping around the city in a flash. His eyes were focused on the view ahead of him as he pushed himself harder, trying to go just a little bit faster. He needed to go faster, why wasn’t he going faster?? He was depending on him, he needed to help him, to save him-

The superhero suddenly skids to a stop, finally reaching his destination. He feverishly scanned the surrounding area, looking for a way to scale up the building. His breath was coming out in harsh, fast pants that were increasing in speed as he panicked to find a way to access the roof. He was wasting time, it’s fruitless, he should just give up now, he wasn’t going to make it-

Finally, he found what he was looking for, a fire escape on the neighboring building. He took off less than a second after he spotted it, not wasting any more time. Precious seconds slipped away from him as he sped up the metal staircase, causing it to shake incessantly with every step.

Once he reached the top of the building, he peered through the darkness of the night to catch a glimpse of his partner. A flap of that unmistakeable cap caused him to breathe a sigh of relief. He made it.

Well, He thought, noting the gap between the two buildings uneasily. Almost made it.

The superhero took a deep breath to calm himself down, backing away from the edge to feel more grounded. Why they had decided to meet on a rooftop of all things was beyond him, especially since they both had a fear of heights.

He took several more deep breaths to center himself and closed his eyes to focus, calling on his powers once again. He took off sprinting as soon as he opened them, channeling his super speed to give him the momentum he needed to make the jump.

The edge inched closer and closer with every step and Jackaboy refused to second-guess himself as he leaped over the alleyway several stories below.

He misjudged the landing, however, and rolled inelegantly as he tried to stop his momentum. He was left sprawled on the roof, his suit ripped in several places as his body was littered with small scrapes and bruises that had already started to heal.

The other figure on the roof chuckled. “I almost thought you were going to miss it.”

Jackaboy Man groaned and rolled over on his side, making it easier for him to get up.

“I would’ve come sooner, but there was a bank robbery on 7th street and I couldn’t let them get away with it. Not when I could’ve helped.”

The figure hummed, patting the space next to him on the blanket that was set out. Jackaboy quickly obliged, mimicking the other’s posture and purposefully bumping their knees together. If the other noticed, he makes no note of it as he stares up at the full moon, choosing to keep a comfortable silence.

“I’m glad we set this up, Jackie.” The other stated softly, a small smile tugging at the corner of his face. The hero glanced at the figure as he started to smile as well.

“Yeah, this is really relaxing Marvin. We should do it more often.” The hero agreed as tucked his hands behind his neck and laid down, oblivious to the way the magician’s face twisted into a frown as he glanced back at the sky.

A shiver wracked through Marvin’s body, and Jackaboy mistook it for Marvin feeling cold. He scoots closer, trying to share his body heat with the magician, which was accepted gratefully.

Jackaboy snuck another glance at the eyes beyond the cat mask as he questioned his next action. He didn’t want to ruin what he and Marvin had, but at the same time, he couldn’t deny the feelings he had for the magician. Finally, he decided to try it and snaked an arm over the other’s body, twisting to face Marvin as he did so.

The magician was surprised, to say the least, but didn’t say anything as he curled further into Jackaboy’s body, the heat radiating from the hero hotter than a normal human. He buried his face into the hero’s chest, causing Jackie to blush as the magician started to purr lightly in his arms.

“Hey, Marvin??” Jackie asked, hating to break the comfortable silence, but needing to ask the question.

“Yeah, Jackie??” Marvin twisted his head to look up at the other man, and Jackie’s heart melted as he noticed the sleepy expression on Marvin’s face, which wasn’t helped by the way his hair had been tousled by the wind.

“How about the next time we stargaze, we do it from the house?? That way we’ll be warmer, and we’ll probably see even more stars than what we see now due to the lack of light pollution.”

Marvin hummed in agreement once again, his cheeks a rosy pink as well. “I’d really like that.”

Neither remembers who kissed the other first on that moonlit night, but once they started, they both forgot about the moon’s beauty in favor of the other’s, showering each other with affection until they fell asleep curled up under the stars.
