The slow hum of the car dissipated into a shrill silence and she opened her door, stepping out into the cold, wet world. She was surprised when she found his hand enveloped around hers, watching the warming smile he wore.
"Come on."
He pulled them towards the house, and into it. "Sonic, we can't see the stars from inside."
"Oh, relax. You'll see." His hand left hers and it had to get used to the ghosting cold that now surrounded it rather than the warmth he emanated. Still, she followed him as he excitedly jogged up the steps. She always walked on her tiptoes on stairs. She figured it was because it made her steps lighter, and she didn't thump her feet down on the stairs making noises loud enough to wake up anyone for ten miles.
The hallway was dark, it lacked any windows, but he opened a door and light flooded into the hallway. "This way, if you will."
She walked past him, taking in the aesthetics of the room. This must've been his room. He shut the door behind them, and made his way to a window, sliding it open effortlessly. It wasn't raining anymore. The clouds had made their way over the house, revealing a endlessly beautiful void of space. There was a tree directly outside the window, and he climbed onto it.
"Sonic, what are you doing?" She hurried over to the window, only for him to give her an award winning smile.
"Relax. Come here." He reached out, grabbing her hand and pulling her slowly out the opening, onto the tree branch with him. Falling into his chest, she clutched onto him. He chuckled, feeling the branch shake uncontrollably, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "We're going up."
He let go as soon as he felt her relax enough and helped her jump onto the ledge of the roof, pushing her up so she didn't fall, and then bounded up himself afterwards.
"What did I tell you? Relax."
Relax? How could she relax? She was on a rooftop! People weren't supposed to be on their roofs!
Her internal freak out alarm got louder as he got closer to the edge. "Sonic! Watch out! You're gonna fall." She didn't know why, but she felt like she needed to whisper. Something about this situation was just... Unreal.
He wavered next to the ledge. "I told you. Relax."
