Luminescence
(n) light produced by chemical, electrical, or physiological means.
June 11, 2012 Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America
The lights from the strip cast a luminescent glow over the crowd, making everything seem so much more exciting and magical, but as beautiful as the city was, the only thing Dan could see was his boyfriend. Phil was chuckling softly to himself, tongue visible from its place between his teeth. Dan had no idea what the source of Phil's laughter was, but considering how utterly drunk the pair were, Phil probably didn't know either. Phil turned toward Dan, waggling his eyebrows as he realized Dan had been staring at him. Normally, Dan would have looked away bashfully, face turning red and splotchy in embarrassment, but the alcohol gave him the courage to match Phil's gaze.
"Like what'cha see?" Phil questioned with a grin, his words slurring together just the tiniest bit.
Dan rolled his eyes (somewhere within his intoxicated mind he knew he hadn't done it right, and he knew he had to be extremely drunk if he had forgotten how to properly roll his eyes), and opened his mouth to give Phil a sarcastic reply, but instead, thanks to his current lack of a brain to mouth filter, said "You're the prettiest thing here."
The smile that lit up Phil's face was blinding, more so than any of the impressive hotels that surrounded him, and Dan would pay any amount of money to see that smile every day for the rest of his life.
