But as he got closer, she couldn't help it, she jumped towards him. His arms caught her amusement dancing in his expression. "Hey, hey. I said relax. I do this all the time." A bright smile overtook all of his features, and she couldn't help but remember why she fell in love with him.
He sat down, his legs dangling over the edge of the roof. "Come on. Sit down." He pat the shingles next to him, smiling at her. "I promise I won't let you fall."
Nervously, she sat herself down, pulling her legs up under her rather than off the edge. His arm wrapped around her, pulling her into his side. "Oh."
He chuckled at her response. "See? I got ya."
She giggled gingerly, before slowly resting her head down on his shoulder. She didn't know exactly how long they were like this until he pointed his arm up, leading her gaze to a single glowing star. "Look. The first star of the night. Make a wish." Her breath just about caught in her throat by the sincerity of his voice, and her gaze fell onto him.
His emerald green eyes glistened in the moonlight, sending her heart fluttering around. He looked so serene. And she was so lucky to be here with him at this moment in time. "I already have."
He smirked. He knew already what her wish was. To have him. And he knew the perfect way. He stood up suddenly, offering a hand to her. "Come here."
And in the moments it took for her to take his hand and stand up, he grabbed her around the waist, dipping her down so more than half of her body was over the edge of the roof. But as she was about to yell and scream to be let up, she felt something upon her lips.
He was... KISSING her? Suddenly she forgot about being halfway off the edge of a two story house, she forgot about the slowly appearing stars above her. She forgot even what her name was. All that mattered in that moment in time was him. He was kidding her, and she was kissing back. And it was the most glorious experience of her young life. She felt the wind blow gently into her quills, and, for a split second, she felt as if she was flying. With him. And she couldn't have trusted him more.
But then he pulled away, pulling her up into his chest. She opened her mouth to protest, but she heard a low hum in his throat, and she felt him spinning her around.
Was he...
Dancing with her?
