hi! haven't seen the movie in a while so i'm rusty…. like really rusty… but here's some requested fluff

The night sky always fascinated Howl. Maybe it was the way the stars seemed to wink at him, or how the moon appeared as though it were a godlike being. Could it be because it was endless? Hardly touched? Maybe. But the reason Howl kept jumping back to was the fact that he was never quite able to replicate it.

No matter how hard he tried, Howl couldn't imitate the night sky. He'd sit outside and stare at it for hours, memorizing how the dark grey clouds would mix with the deep blue of the vast area and electric whites of the stars. Before Sophie, before his heart and all his emotions, he'd fly up and try to blend in with it. Then in the morning he would combine his strongest ingredients and his most powerful words to try and have his own piece of the sky. But it never worked. Eventually he stopped trying. It was hard, because it had become a true passion of his. But time was important, and he was wasting a lot of it. Howl decided that it was just another dream of his that would never come true.

But like most things, that changed.

"Howl?" Sophie called, distracting him. He stood up and stretched, closing his bedroom window and heading downstairs to find his fiance.

"What is it, are you alright?" Howl tried his best not to sound concerned, but he was always worried for Sophie, no matter what situation they were in. If she called to him with no context, it always made him think that she was in some sort of trouble.

"Oh, no I'm fine. I just was wondering if you've looked outside..?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, darling, you can practically see the constellations up in the sky! It's magnificent. Come, I'll show you-" She grabbed his hand without another word and the two headed out onto the castle's balcony, high up above the clouds as usual. "It's so nice up here." Sophie murmured. Her short hair was whipping around her face, but she looked stunning as always. Howl placed his arms around her waist and smiled slightly.

"What was that about the sky?" He said softly.

"I've always been passionate about it, Howl. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live on the moon? Oh, it's a silly thought but-" Howl interrupted her with a kiss, so deep and passionate that they both had to catch their breath when he pulled away. He laughed softly and smoothed his fingers through her hair, as she searched his eyes for any explanation of his sudden affection.

"I love you so much," he said. "It's like you can read my mind or something, Sophie. It's incredible." Howl met her eyes again and noticed how brightly they glittered. Like… Stars.

"What do you mean, you wonderful man?" Sophie laughed as Howl hugged her tightly. "What could you possibly mean?"

"I wanted the night sky as my own."

"You wanted a lot of things…" Sophie said teasingly.

"Yes but the minute I looked up at the sky I wanted to replicate it."

"Well how could you have done that..?"

"I don't know!" Howl laughed again. "That's the point, it was so ridiculous, I still can't believe myself. I'm still completely in love with it though, Sophie. And to discover that someone is equally as passionate, well, it's hard to believe."

"Believe it." She pulled him close again, and Howl kissed her neck, nose, and forehead, before meeting her lips again. They stayed there for a long time, staring at the sky, lost in it and their love for one another. And that night Howl realized something. He had something better than the sky, he had a whole galaxy. Sophie was as beautiful and as mysterious as space, or anything beyond it. From that point on, every time he looked into her eyes or tangled his fingers in her hair, or heard her laugh or show so much passion for something, he fell in love with her all over again.
