starlight

He watches her, golden hair gleaming under the moonlight. Her eyes reflect the brilliance of the stars and for a second, he sees a vision of her glowing in the night, the dark, twinkling sky above curving down to her, pulled in by her gravity, just like he is.

He thinks she's weird and vain and silly, but there's no doubt that she is the most important person in his life. His best friend, or something similar, or something more. He thinks she's family, but not in the way he wants her to be, not yet.

He thinks she is all the stars in his night sky, the only one he can rely on to pull him out of the darkness he always feels swirling deep inside him. Maybe he doesn't understand the fire in his gut when he sees her smile, or the pain in his heart when he hears her laugh, or the heat in his blood when he feels her touch, or why her scent wrapped around him tells him he's home.

All he knows for sure is that right now, watching Lucy spin and laugh and trace her spirits in the stars, her smile tugging at his own, there is no other place he would rather be.
