-Together-
He ran. It may have been cold out and wet as a storm pored from the thick gray clouds above, but he had to go somewhere. He had to see something. He stepped through puddles, one after another in his hurried pace. His shoes were soaked as were the legs of his pants. In a matter of minutes, his body became drenched as well, whilst the sky pelted droplets to the ground.
It was nighttime and the streets around him were plunged in darkness. Dim lanterns illuminated a faint light; here and there on corners were the road signs were lost to the shadows and heavy rain. Nevertheless, it did not matter for he knew where he was going.
All because, he just had to see for his own emerald eyes that distant beauty.
Rain streaked down his face and fell from the tips of his crimson hair, blowing widely behind him. His cheeks were stained rose and his breathing was hitched. A shiver ran up his spine and erupted onto his creamy skin. The night was colder then he had expected, even for this time of the year.
He heard footsteps behind him, joining him. They quickly disappeared into the silence, and knowingly, he looked up to the sky. Despite the rain rolling off his face, he saw that black, vehement blur leap in front of him and gracefully land before him. He halted and smiled warmly at his opposition.
''What are you doing?'' The black shadow asked.
Only the rain could be heard amid them for the longest moment, a hushed eternity until, with the same genuine smile gracing his lips, they spoke.
''Do you not remember? The first night I met you…and kissed you was underneath these same stars.''
Ruby orbs looked up the sky and gazed at the radiant flickers the mortals liked to call stars. They were almost lost in the storm but the tiny dots shone brightly as they raced across the vast navy tapestry. The stars were falling from the skies that night and as the last one, a shooting speck of incandescent light shot overhead, they made the same wish.
To be together, until the next time they could watch the stars together.
