I yawn, staring at the phone screen in front of me. Darok tightens his grip around my waist, tucking his face deeper into my neck. His breath caressing my skin, he mumbles something inaudible. After a few moments, I shrug, going back to reading.
"Sloane..." he groans, nipping me lightly.
"What?"
"Go to beeeeeed..." he whines.
"Three more FanFics."
"Nuuuuuuuuuu! DON'T MAKE ME FUCK YOU TILL YOU PASS OUT!" he threatens.
I flip so I lay facing him. Cocking an eyebrow, I glance down suspiciously. He wiggles his eyebrows, hooking a leg over my two. My face heats up as I feel something press against my leg. He laughs softly.
"Put the phone away, Sloane."
"B-but I'm at a reeeeeeally good part!" I whine, pouting.
"I'll give you a BETTER 'part' if you don't take my advice, sweety."
"But-"
"Butt? Okay." he smirks, flipping me so I'm on my stomach.
Putting my phone on the nightstand, the sexy boy easily climbs on top of me. I blush as his boner presses against my ass. He chuckles darkly, laying down.
"We never did get to do that thing, did we?" he whispers in my ear.
"H-hey!" I blush, looking at him from the corner of my eye.
"Hm?"
"L-let's go to bed!"
"Ah, ah, ah~! You're not getting away that easily!"
"Darok!" I whine.
"Sloane!" he mimics, chuckling.
"Stahp, please?"
"Nope. Actually... Since it's Saturday tomorrow..." he smiles, grabbing my wrist.
Within moments, we're outside. And I'm thrown to the ground. He flops down beside me. I gasp, eyes widening as I see the hundreds of stars. Since it's almost summer, the night is only cool. Not too cold and not too hot.
And above us, countless stars shine down. The full moon glows a brilliant silver, bathing Darok and I in its brilliant light. Not a cloud is visible in the deep, limitless pool of stars.
Beside me, Darok finds my hand. His eyes sparkling with love -for both the stars and I- he turns to me. Gripping my hand tighter, he breathes out the three words he floods my mind and voice with every moment of every day.
"I love you."
And, without hesitation, I repeat them.
"I love you, too."
After that, we just lay there, confessing to eachother the our love, in the silence. Our heartbeats the only thing heard. Suddenly, to my absolute shock, something blazes across the sky. My heart literarily stops.
"O-oh my god..." I breathe out, still without air.
"I know..." he whispers, holding my hand tighter.
Suddenly, another shooting star crosses the sky. Then another. And another. And tears trickle down my cheeks as I realize what I'm witnessing.
"Happy belated birthday, my sweet."
Unintentionally, tears start rolling down my cheeks. I can't stop them. Unable to take this aching beauty any longer, I turn and bury my face into his warm chest. My eyes continue to leak tears as he wraps his arms around me tightly.
Heart beating fast, I hold him close, listening to his steady heartbeat. Without even realizing it, my hand finds its way to his and I close my eyes, enveloped in bliss. I wish I could stay right here, in this exact moment, forever...
But that doesn't mean my heart isn't cracking from the memory this meteor shower brings. Images, slightly darkened by time and age, flash in my head. And I'm dragged into the depths of my nightmares...
