Unlike his twin, Matthew was at home in the night. While Alfred would rise and sleep with the sun, Matthew didn't much like mornings and would do a fair amount to escape having to deal with them. 10 AM, he believed, was a perfectly acceptable time to wake up.
But night, oh Alfred didn't know what he was missing. The stars were dancing above him, a wild slash of them across the sky. The Milky Way, the Winter Path, the Bird's Path, it didn't matter what was called or who named it. It lit his path back to the cabin with light millenia old, invisible during the day and delicate at night. Amused, he puffed his breath out, watching the silver cloud form and then dissipate into the silence of the night. He inhaled and breathed in the dark, cold air, feeling it absorb the heart in the heart of his body.
He'd once heard 'cold' described as the absence of heat. Most, his family included, considered dark to be the absence of light. There was light in the dark, a sort of light that can only exist in the dark, but you had to know what to look for.
The stars of the sky, the Big bear and her cub. Orion. Cassiopeia. Light from endless stars spun their way across the silent dark to show off to him now.
But that wasn't the only dark light in the night. The moon's borrowed light reflected silver-wet onto the glass of the cabin's windows. Matthew knew that if he were to walk into his room, he'd see Alfred asleep in the dark room, the wet moonlight spilling over his skin. The cool light would create depths and highs, and all of it in the pale light of darkness.
In the midnight light, Matthew saw what his brother could have been if he'd gone south and Alfred north. Alfred without his perpetual summer tan was a pale, lithe creature,
smoky white hair and he made Matthew ache with need.
Oh the dark was lovely indeed.
But the real reason Matthew loved the dark?
Was that no one but him saw Alfred in the darkest light of space.
