I'm gonna be writing DCA fanfics(using @dca-fanart-gallery's prompt list for this particular fic) for at least some of october(idk if I can write every day). Today's prompt: dream
Summary(which I forgot to add...): Sun is having a persistent dreams of another fairy
Note: This was inspired by @ayyy-imma-ninja's fairy au. I was already thinking of making one, but this prompt gave me an excuse to write something
"Wait-!" Sun reached out his hand towards the fairy, watching as they flew away. "Come back!"
At this point it was almost used to the dreams. Of seeing another fairy and hoping for a new friend, only to see them leave before the two could talk. Even if the situations in the dreams were different, the fairy was still there, just out of his reach. At first he was confused, but overtime said confusion turned into disappointment and longing.
The animals were wonderful little friends and he was rather curious about the humans he'd occasionally see. It was always a treat when he saw the little ones of any species, even if it usually couldn't get close. But he never saw another fairy before the dreams started and wasn't able to have proper conversations with the animals. Sure he could try to learn some human languages, but the giant beings were intimidating in a way that most creatures weren't. The lack of closeness usually didn't bother him, but it was easier to notice as the dreams kept occurring.
The dreams also made him start to wonder about some things. While he usually had a hard time telling apart different members of the same species, the fairy in his dream seemed pretty different from him. Instead of having a giant spot on part of their face like Sun, the stranger had clusters of white dots along different body parts. If it wasn't for the spots and glowing, Sun was sure that they'd blend into the night. It made him wonder if there other fairies that were different colors. Did the stranger know? What if they were an outlier? What if he was an outlier?
But not all his questions were related to appearances. When he woke up the plants Sun wondered why all the dreams happened at night. When he watched some stray humans it wondered if the other fairy had talked to any of them. When he tied on his ribbons he wondered if the fairy's hat hid their rays. There was so much it wanted to ask.
But despite the questions and the loneliness, he was fine. It was happy with his life. The curiosity and longing didn't interfere with anything.
At least, not until recently. Sun groaned, covering his face. He had woke up a few minutes ago with a sudden desire to fly—despite it being the middle of the night. But no matter how much he twisted and turned, the longing was still there. It reminded him of his dream and that fact almost made him want to pull his rays out. "Now now Sun, it's nighttime, you don't want to hurt yourself." Was it a little silly to talk to himself? Yes. But he was tired and his source of joy and disappoint had just become a bigger problem.
He looked outside of the hollow, praying that sunrise had come. Despite knowing it was unrealistic, he still gripped his rays tighter when all he saw was stars. There was only one way he could think of dealing with the feeling. With another dramatic groan he got out of his bed, only bothering to tie a string with a little bell onto one of his wrists. Hopefully the ringing would keep him from falling asleep outside(he learned his lesson after he woke up to a bunch of rain). Yawning, he walked over to the opening of his little hideout and flew out.
Now that it was outside he felt the desire grow, like there was something calling to him, pulling him somewhere. Deciding to follow his instinct, he took off in a seemingly random direction, trusting his heart more than his(very tired) mind. But despite its initial regret over getting up, it was actually rather... nice to see what everything looked like during the night. He even saw a few new animals. Were some not awake during the day?
After a few minutes of flying, he came across a stream and... didn't know where to go next. Why did he here? Was he thirsty and didn't realise it? But why did this feel like the dreams? Maybe it just because it was late. Groaning, Sun turned around and was about to leave, but paused when he saw something glowing in the corner of his eye. There was a fairy with a blue glow near the stream.
Wait- a fairy! The fairy from his dreams. The stranger was sitting on a rock, kicking his feet and looking down at the running water. Flying closer, Sun rubbed his eyes. If this was a dream he'd- he'd- he didn't know what he'd do. "Hello! New friend?" Part of him knew what would happen. The fairy wouldn't notice him, then they'd leave. And Sun would wake up as he asked them to wait, to slow down-
"Hello?" This wasn't a dream! The fairy seemed a little caught off guard, tilting their head and staring at him. With the confirmation that things would be different, Sun grinned and flew closer, almost vibrating.
"My name is Sun! What's your name?" Now that he was looking closer, it could see the other fairy also had some string tied around the wrists, with some seashells instead of bells. And the rest of their body wasn't grey or black like he assumed, it was actually a dark blue.
The question made the other fairy grin, tilting their head further. "My name is Moon"
