He looked to her. "I, I don't know. Sure."
One on One - Romance - So very cliche because I need it right now
She smiled and grabbed his hand. "Come on then." She tugged him up the stairs and into the bathroom, opening the window and slowly hopping onto the ledge. "Just be careful, it's a pretty long fall." She crawled onto the roof and laid down again, just staring up at the star filled sky.
He followed her and laid down next to her. "Wow." The view was amazing, which was saying something since he had a new one each night. He could hear crickets chirping in the distance. That's the moment he realized: I'm stargazing with her, just like we had planned. "You know how you see a big group of stars, when you look up, that is, but then you look at individual stars and you think that they're just ultimately by themselves in a dark, blank, cold space? It's actually pretty interesting because most stars actually come in pairs." He continued to ramble a little bit about the stars he was known so well for. Each little new thing he learned about them. "Then there's always the concern about the Sun exploding and such, but the most massive stars are the shortest lived. And, compared to most, the Sun is pretty small. So, I'd say we're covered for a little bit longer. It's bound to happen, but who's to say the humans won't be extinct before then?"
"Babe, please. Just shut up and enjoy the view." She chuckled, cuddling into his side. Her sister's always thought she was insane for doing this. They thought she'd fall and die from climbing on the roof but she wasn't that dumb.
"Right sorry." The ends up his mouth curved up into a small smile that quickly faded. He was too busy watching each star 'flicker". He muttered under his breath more random facts about stars. It had become a habit now. "The stars don't actually twinkle. It's just because when the starlight comes into the atmosphere, it refracts it and makes it look like it changes position by a little." He glanced over to her quickly before adding, "Sorry."
"I swear you really remind me of a character in a movie I saw that recites trivia when she's nervous. Do you always ramble on facts or are you just nervous?"
He chuckled lightly. "I mean, whenever there are stars, I'm reciting the facts to myself because I've never….never taken anyone else stargazing. It's been only me. But I also ramble on about them when I'm nervous. Which happens to be a lot more than not."
She leaned up and kissed him gently. "It's alright, I think it's kind of cute. I will ramble the most obscure art facts you've ever heard if I can't think of something to talk about."
He chuckled. "Sounds about right." He could imagine her just randomly rambling about art.
"I'm sorry but it's true!" She giggled, brushing her hair out of her face.
"I'm sure you do. And I'm sure you're adorable when you do. And I'm sure I don't." He smiled a little, looking over at her.
"You're crazy. You're always adorable. And I will stick by that opinion whether you like it or not." She smiled, kissing his cheek softly.
He let out a long sigh. "I guess you'll just be wrong then." The warmth from her lips spread throughout his entire body, warming whatever cold that came from the wind.
The wind was gentle but cold, making her shiver and curl up on herself. "Really should've brought a jacket. Idiot." She muttered to herself.
"Here." He grunted as he sat up. He took off his jacket and laid it on top of her. "That better?"
She sat up slightly, wrapped it around her, and laid back down. "Mmm, much." Ahhh, the classic cliche of a girl stealing her boyfriend's jacket. How cute.
He smiled a little before laying back down. "Good."
She cuddled into his side, staring up at the sky with a soft smile.
He brought her a little closer. He wrapped his arms around her in attempt to warm her up a little. "They're really amazing. Like, how we can see so many in some places but, like, none in others?" He paused before adding under his breath, "Stupid light pollution."
She laid her head on his shoulder, just glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. He's so cute. And somehow he's mine.
"And also, the way that stars are composed, all their mass is pulling it inward. If it weren't for one force, light, pressing it back, stars would just be collapsing into themselves until the smallest possible size. But with it, once they run out of light resistance, it collapses into a white dwarf."
"I think I figured out a way to get you to be quiet." She chuckled before tilting his head towards her and pressing her lips to his.
He was a bit surprised at first, but she was right. He shut up. She is just one of a kind.
She was a bit nervous, she wasn't used to kissing guys, but the feeling overtook her and she relaxed.
He wished he had the energy and will to kiss her with as much passion before. Instead, he let her lead.
She kept her kiss light, gentle, cautious. He'd been through a lot but she wanted him to know that she was here. He didn't have to feel alone because he wasn't.
He pulled back just a little, just enough to where their lips were still touching. "I- sorry."
She smiled a little. "It's alright, you don't have to apologise to me."
"Yeah, but I just-" he took a breath before leaning back, "-I don't know." It just didn't feel right at the moment.
Should've known better than to be so selfish. Stupid! She forced her thoughts away and laid back down letting the view above her relax her nerves.
