The young rabbitkin, looking up towards the eyes with the aid of his glasses, laid his head gently on his boyfriend's lap. A contented sigh escaped his muzzle, taking in the tranquility of the pier they chose to rest upon, on a lake not too far outside the city limits.

"Do you know when it's going to start, Ed?"

His partner, a tigerkin with a defined physique, wearing little beyond a pair of trousers, propped himself upright with his arms, looking up alongside him.

"Should be any minute now. Teach was excited to show off his new tricks today."

"It's not Foundation Day without a show from the Great Detective Enigma, is it?"

"You know it."

Just then, they saw it. Over the city, high in the sky, a brilliant display of illusory talent: Images rendered in extreme, meticulous detail, depicting the founders of the five major colleges coming together to form what would become the Theorem Magistrum, and the city built around it.

"How does he get better at it each year?"

"You know Teach. Always studying or practicing somethin'."

"Is that where you get it from, Ed?"

"Heh. Somethin' like that."

Though the conversation died down, neither of the two seemed affected by it. It was enough for them to just enjoy the moment together. As this ceremony heralded the start of the new semester, they knew that their peers were scrambling to complete any unfinished business before classes dominated their time. But in this moment, neither one of them had any reason to worry.

They had each other, and that was enough.

I love a good peaceful moment like this, and when I saw  LittleBadWolf offer this as a YCH I knew I had the right couple for it.
