"So, my girl got herself a boyfriend!" "That I did!" "Why?" "Hmm?" "Why him?" "Why not him?" "Answer the question Ives!"

His eyes snapped open and he sat up. He was breathing heavy, each breath feeling like little pin pricks down his throat. His heart beat nonstop. Crap. He looked around and didn't see Ivy.

But he did hear a voice.

"Ivy?"

"Well…I've been seeing him around for a while. He was always so cute and sweet and friendly but I never had the courage to talk to him. Then Zavian picked him up and he went from just a cute nerd to straight up every girl wants him hot." "Weird jump but okay." "Don't judge me Zach!" He laughed, gesturing for her to move on. "And I'd really gotten into art so I used to doodle him in my notebooks out of the corner of my eye. I don't know, he just captured my heart from the first day I saw him."

(Ohmygoshthatsadorable)

He stood, almost falling over from all the colors flashing across his vision. "Ivy?" He called her again. There still didn't seem to be an answer, just more voices…

He began to walk towards her voice.

"Looks like he's calling for you. Better head back in." "Yeah I heard. See ya Zach." "Bye princess." He faded out and she slipped back inside, heading downstairs slowly. "Hey, what are you doing awake?"

"I-" he stopped in his tracks "-I don't know. I'm just, what? Were you talking to someone?"

"More like talking to myself but sure!" She chuckled. "Sit down love, you look like you're about to pass out."

He nodded and sat back down as she said. Talking to herself? He didn't close his eyes though, he was done with those memories.

She sat next to him, smiling lightly. "Everything alright? You look flushed." She placed a hand to his cheek, feeling his temperature.

He nodded again. His voice was a little raspy. "Yeah. Just. Yeah."

"If you say so love." She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder lightly.

He glanced over at her. She's something special. Mom would have loved her.

Shut up!

Dad would've been all over him. Mom would've interrogated the hell out of him. She shook her head to clear the memories. Just thinking of her parents made her want to cry.

There was still a loud silence feeling in his ears and mind. It blocked it as much reality as it could. He took a breath in. There was a lot to consider.

She cleared her throat, trying to rid the silence. "Wanna see something that I find pretty relaxing? It might help you calm down.

He looked to her. "I, I don't know. Sure."

She smiled and grabbed his hand. "Come on then." She tugged him up the stairs and into the bathroom, opening the window and slowly hopping onto the ledge. "Just be careful, it's a pretty long fall." She crawled onto the roof and laid down again, just staring up at the star filled sky.

He followed her and laid down next to her. "Wow." The view was amazing, which was saying something since he had a new one each night. He could hear crickets chirping in the distance. That's the moment he realized: I'm stargazing with her, just like we had planned. "You know how you see a big group of stars, when you look up, that is, but then you look at individual stars and you think that they're just ultimately by themselves in a dark, blank, cold space? It's actually pretty interesting because most stars actually come in pairs." He continued to ramble a little bit about the stars he was known so well for. Each little new thing he learned about them. "Then there's always the concern about the Sun exploding and such, but the most massive stars are the shortest lived. And, compared to most, the Sun is pretty small. So, I'd say we're covered for a little bit longer. It's bound to happen, but who's to say the humans won't be extinct before then?"

"Babe, please. Just shut up and enjoy the view." She chuckled, cuddling into his side. Her sister's always thought she was insane for doing this. They thought she'd fall and die from climbing on the roof but she wasn't that dumb.

"Right sorry." The ends up his mouth curved up into a small smile that quickly faded. He was too busy watching each star 'flicker". He muttered under his breath more random facts about stars. It had become a habit now. "The stars don't actually twinkle. It's just because when the starlight comes into the atmosphere, it refracts it and makes it look like it changes position by a little." He glanced over to her quickly before adding, "Sorry."

"I swear you really remind me of a character in a movie I saw that recites trivia when she's nervous. Do you always ramble on facts or are you just nervous?"

He chuckled lightly. "I mean, whenever there are stars, I'm reciting the facts to myself because I've never….never taken anyone else stargazing. It's been only me. But I also ramble on about them when I'm nervous. Which happens to be a lot more than not."

She leaned up and kissed him gently. "It's alright, I think it's kind of cute. I will ramble the most obscure art facts you've ever heard if I can't think of something to talk about."

He chuckled. "Sounds about right." He could imagine her just randomly rambling about art.

"I'm sorry but it's true!" She giggled, brushing her hair out of her face.
