Fairy

She laughed and glitter coated the air around her. It was everywhere. It buried itself into the long silken strands of her hair, making her look ethereal in the low lighting. Sparkles clung to her cheeks like the freckles of some otherworldly sprite. Her rosy lips were pulled back into a wonderful smile that showed her teeth and her tongue and was so uncontrolled from the elation coursing through the room. Her cute, upturned nose scrunched as she giggled, causing the glitter powdering over her nose to float off and into the atmosphere. Her eyes closed with the current of her joy and revealed the stray glitter dotting her eyelids, hinting at the universes beneath.
I wanted to close my eyes with her, feel the moment as she did, but I was afraid. I was afraid to miss out on the enchantment of watching such a beautiful person experience such happiness. As she reached out and threw her remaining glitter onto me I finally closed my eyes and laughed. I hoped she thought I looked beautiful too.
