"You're my moon." He tells me.
"What?" I asked him confused.
"Isn't it supposed to be like, you're my sun?"
"Yeah, but I've always preferred the dark." He tells me.
"Look at the sky. See how it's pitch black?"
I look around us, the sky is completely black, starless.
"It's all black. Isn't it? A void of darkness, emptiness. There's the moon." He's looking up too, staring at the moon.
"The only light in the endless supply of darkness."
I sneak a glance at him, his whole attention towards the moon.
"You're my light." He whispers.
"But the moon isn't bright like the sun."
"Exactly. The moon's grey, not too bright, not too dark. A neutral, fitting perfectly with the darkness of night." He explains.
"Are you sure you're not BatMan?" Lulu teased him, barely aware of the words pouring from her mouth until they were already spoken. Why would she say that? Learn to take a compliment, bitch! Johnny goes into a fit of chuckles at her words, not expecting them.
"I've got the origin story down." Johnny shrugged, amused by her.
"I'm sorry-I get weird when people are nice to me. I don't know why I do it. Ugh, maybe I really am mentally ill." Lulu cringed, why couldn't she just be normal?
"It's okay, I don't mind. Weird is good-as long as you're not demented like my father." Johnny chuckled, only half joking.
"You're father takes the cake on that one, for sure." Lulu shook her head, trying to hide the fact that she was blushing.
"You're adorable and just...the coolest woman I've ever met. How did I get so lucky as to come across you only a month ago? In a way, I feel like you saved my life." Johnny let himself smile, a luxury he couldn't often afford.
"Oh stop, I am not! That's crazy...because I feel like you saved my life in some ways too. I'm glad we're doing this...you know, dating. Even though I dated Logan, I'm still pretty new to this. Logan was my first official boyfriend and that didn't really go as planned-I just don't wanna fuck us up." Lulu looked down at her nails as she nervously bit the inside of her lip, shifting nervously on the blanket they sat on...overlooking the park.
"Hey, we're gonna be okay. I know things are a little shifty right now but, things won't always be this hard. I promise. There's nothing you could ever do to fuck us up...I don't want you to think like that." Johnny reached over to lovingly stroke the side of her face.
"Thank you for saying that, I needed to hear you say it. I'm so used to always saying or doing the wrong thing-I guess. This feels different than anything I've ever felt before and it feels good, I feel like losing what we're building would kill me." Lulu admits, slightly leaning into his touch.
"I am too...that's why we understand each other so well. I'll do anything in my power to make you feel secure and happy. I've never felt anything like this and I wouldn't want to lose you, that's why we have to be careful Lulu. The last thing I want to do is hide the fact that I'm with you but, I don't want any harm to come to you either." Johnny had been struggling with what the right thing to do was.
"I know that you're under a lot of stress Johnny, because of you're family. I hate that for you but, just know I'm always here for you." Lulu understood more than he knew, Sonny had been putting her through all types of hell these past few weeks.
"Thank you." Johnny sighed, pulling her into his arms as they cuddled through the early dawn.
