Challenge: 70. Starlight
Title: That Night
Word Count: roughly 200-300, as it's a double drabble.
Characters: Yen Sid, Maleficent
Note: mm, slightly crack-y what-if type of thing.
They sat on the hill, two young people in love, and watched the sun dip down beyond the sea. The stars twinkled into view, and he could see her pale face light up as the night began to settle down over them like the blanket that they should have brought with them to guard against the dark's chill.
'It is beautiful,' she whispered, enthralled by the view.
'You should have it,' he declares, and reaches out a hand to the sky. A bit of starlight falls into his grasp, and he carefully places it in her hand, smiling gently.
'Oh,' she gasps, and holds it out. He places his hands under hers, and the starlight begins to slip through her long fingers, and seep into his own rougher hands.
She withdraws her own hands, and smiles weakly.

They sat on the hill, two young people in love, and watched the sun dip down beyond the sea. She watched as the night wrapped around everything, carefully blanketing all in indifferent darkness. She felt him smile next to her, and saw him look up at the twinkling stars, his usual stern expression giving way to wonder.
How foolish he was, she thought, to be enamored with the light. Light was everywhere, and horribly common, but the darkness.. Ah, the darkness was something to be sought out, a rare gem in the midst of fool's gold.
'It is beautiful,' she murmurs absently.
'You should have it,' he declares, and she starts as he places something in her hands.
It hurts.
She gasps, and quickly reaches for his own hands. The starlight passes into his own grip, and she gives him a pitiful smile. The fool still doesn't realize how the light will burn.
