Summary
For the Day 11 AUgust prompt “birdwatching”
—
It was an hour before sunrise, and the purples and pinks of dawn were slowly stretching across the sky.
Stars winked out, one by one as the Earth slowly woke from her slumber. The first robin began to trill, soon joined by others. The tendrils of pink sky crawled further out of the eastern horizon as sparrows, warblers, and thrushes joined the dawn chorus.
A bittern stepped cautiously out of the reeds of the marshes at Revenge National Wildlife Refuge, and was almost immediately bathed in the yellow tungsten of headlights. The shadows of the reeds traveled across its feathers as the lights passed by.
—
Best friends Ed and Stede go birding at sunrise and their feelings come into the light.

Summary
So, yeah. It’s been one of the most profound, healing, transformative theatre experiences of Ed’s career, and he’s pretty sad it’s over. But on the other hand, ever since the weather got warmer, Stede’s been rocking a whole “half-unbuttoned shirt with a neckerchief” thing, and Ed’s about ready to build a summer home in the soft-looking patch of hair where his top surgery scars meet in the middle. Stede is—
Stede is looking at Ed expectantly.
Fuck.
