[The camera is still, focused in on Ganymede, sitting on his bed with his legs crossed underneath him. His eyes are closed, but he looks happy, content even though there's a considerable din of fireworks. Not coming from him, but simply ambient. The noise is almost akin to thunder. Loud, yet subdued and pulsating. He smiles, takes a deep breath, and opens his eyes, though only to make eye contact with the camera for a second before averting his gaze to the floor.]
I know a lot of people really can't stand the fireworks. [He tucks a little hair behind his ear, as the smile creeps back onto his lips.] But I have to say, I think I really like them.
[He takes a deep breath, and continues. Looking happy, nervous, and maybe a little...well, the blush on his cheeks may just be evident of something a little more.] I like the sound, actually. I think the colors are pretty, and I like the way they light up. But the sound, I think, is my favorite thing about them.
[He giggles a little bit, and looks towards the floor again.] They remind me of thunder. [His fingers grasp gently into the fabric of his comforter, not quite on purpose.]
[And then, a singular little firework, more akin to a sparkler than anything else, sparkles out behind him. Bright white, and circular, it barely makes a noise. A tiny little 'pop', and a fizzle, and he gives the camera an embarrassed, but sincere smile.]
I hope I figure out what's causing mine, though. Some people seem to have theirs figured out. [He shrugs, but his cheeks are flushed a decent shade of pink. They happen when he's aroused, not that he'd ever say anything like that. And it's not something he's willing to attribute to the sound of thunder, either. He laughs again, and gives the camera a little wave, and...tacked on at the end is a little kiss. Blown noiselessly, from one very happy little Ganymede.]
