Title: Wish Upon a Star
Fandom: Howl's Moving Castle
Pairing: Howl/Sophie
Notes: Nothing except...it's short, pointless fluff. Fun? And I hope what I said about Calcifer is correct/okay...


"It's beautiful," Sophie said, voice soft with awe, as she tilted her head up and gazed admiringly at the sky sprinkled with bright stars.

"Not as beautiful as you," Howl replied from where he was sitting on the hill beside her.

She reached up and pushed his shoulder lightly. "Shush, you." Such a Howl thing to say, she mused.

"Look at it though," she said, returning her gaze to the stars. "Shining and bright...did Calcifer really come from one?"

"Yes, he fell and I caught him."

"You know," Sophie said now, "there's a saying that if you see a shooting star, you get a wish. It'd probably work with catching one, too."

"A wish, huh?" Howl appeared to think deeply on that for a minute, leaning back with his hands on the ground behind him for support and looking upwards. "I guess I did get my wish," he said at last.

Sophie blinked. "You did?"

Turning to look at her again, he sat up and took one of her hands in his, cupping her cheek with his other. "I found you."
