"Fakir," an insistent voice said in his ear "Fakir, wake up"

The green-haired man grumbled before turning over, pulling the blankets to cover his head. Ahiru pouted a bit before shaking his shoulder once again.

"Not now Ahiru; I'm tired. Haven't you had enough for one day?" came the sleep-roughened voice of her new husband. The red-head giggled at his words, knowing that they really hadn't had much of a chance for rest on their honeymoon, seeing as they were active both night and day.

"Come on Fakir, we're going to miss it if you don't get up."

"Miss what?" came the petulant reply

"It's a surprise now get up. It'll be worth it, I promise." She gave him one last shove before putting another jersey on, zipping into her heavy snow jacket afterwards.

Fakir grumbled as he rolled out of bed, knowing that he would be getting no more sleep until he indulged Ahiru in whatever crazy activity she wanted to partake. There had been no shortage of them during the four days they'd spent on honeymoon. Reindeer and husky sledding in below freezing temperatures, ice hotels, snowmobile safaris and even killer whale watching tomorrow; there hadn't been a chance for them to just be.

Dressing warmly, he stepped into his boots and followed his wife's eager form out of their cosy hotel room.

"So where exactly are you dragging me to, in the freezing cold, at midnight?" Fakir asked as they stepped out into the brisk night air. Underneath their feet, the snow crunched as the red-haired woman led them out into the small forest behind the building.

"A lady this afternoon told me about a place in the forest where we would have an unobstructed view and the clerk at the reception desk said the skies will finally be clear tonight so this is our last chance before we move on and apparently it truly is a spectacular thing to see," Ahiru explained quickly as they trudged on.

Fakir sighed, his question having brought him little enlightenment. "Our last chance for what? We still have five more days of holiday left."

Ahiru stopped and led him up a slight rise which opened into a clearing; the sky un-obscured by tall trees. Above them, waves of colour flowed in a synchronised dance, greens and reds intertwined.

"Our last chance to see that," Ahiru whispered as she cuddled into Fakir's side as she too marvelled at the aurorae. "We were supposed to have seen them all the other nights as well but there was heavy cloud cover."

Drawing her in closer, Fakir watched the ribbon of colour in awe. He'd heard of the Northern Lights of course but never had he thought he'd be able to see them personally in his lifetime. They truly were beautiful; just like the one who'd brought him here to witness the phenomenon.

Turning the petite woman in his arms, Fakir placed a tender kiss upon her chilled lips. "Thank you for bringing me here," he said as he gently brushed away her bangs so that he could see those clear blue orbs unobstructed.

Ahiru placed her head on his chest, pushing herself closer to him "it was my pleasure." She replied with a soft smile.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Fakir pulled her in for another kiss, this one deeper and longer than the last, before they turned back to enjoy the Lofoten aurora borealis.
Day 5 of Fakiru Week

Disclaimer: I do not own princess tutu, that is the property of Ikuko Itoh

Author’s Notes: Modern Day AU. The tour Ahiru and Fakir are taking is the 9 day Hurtigruten Northern Lights Cruise. Sound like it could be lots of fun to go on.

And this is late cause I have had my internet capped. Such a sad state of affairs. Anyway, enjoy a day late.

That's a really nice and romantic take on the prompt! I wish to see the Northern Lights too someday!
