Felt like doing something HiruMamo for the 4th of July... I believe they were there during it/ Please correct me if I'm wrong.

They were stopped for the night on the side of the road. Everyone slept except for one, soon to be two.
"Damn manager..." Hiruma prodded her and Mamori's eyes flickered open with a jolt.
"Neh... Hiruma-kun...? Wha-" Hiruma clamped his hand over her mouth and gestured with his other hand for her to follow him. She silently obeyed, stumbling over players as Hiruma walked quickly and gracefully through the mass of bodies. He hopped down from the back of the truck, not bothering to help her down. She jogged to catch up to him as he walked toward the field on their side of the road. "Hiruma, what is it?" Mamori was wide awake at his strange behavior. She followed him and he held the barbed fence for her to go through. "Isn't this trespassing?"
"Nope." Hiruma (rep)lied simply. He took her hand and yanked her along after him, seeming in a bit of a hurry. They reached what Mamori discerned to be the middle of the field and Hiruma stopped by a lone tree, dropping her hand and sitting at it's base; closing his eyes while leaning back against the trunk.
"This is it?" Mamori asked, raising a brow and looking at his calm face. You drag me out here to watch you sleep I-" she stopped when she realized that he was muttering something.
"... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... one." His eyes snapped open, looking towards the sky just as a loud crack sounded and color burst through the sky. Mamori's head snapped toward the light and she stared, her jaw dropping open at the brilliant display of color and fire that played through the sky.
"It's... beautiful." Mamori breathed, sitting next to Hiruma against the tree and watching the spectacle.
"Hn, yeah..." Hiruma nodded, Mamori glanced at him from the corner of her eye and smiled slightly, turning her attention back to the sky as another round of fireworks blasted through the air.
"Hiruma... thank you." Mamori said, looking at him and receiving a quirk of his lips in reply.
They sat in appreciative silence for about two hours when Mamori's fatigue finally caught up with her. Hiruma glanced down at her head when it hit his shoulder. Rolling his eyes, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and continued watching the sky. Just as the moon was at it's zenith in the sky the fireworks stopped and an explosion of cheering was heard as the finale started.
If someone had walked out in that field, they would have seen a boy and a girl leaning against a tree, fast asleep: a perfectly normal couple.
