Deeper Meanings

"What do you see when you look up there, Touya?" I asked the broody boy softly, eyes lost in the night stars above us.

He rustled softly on the ground next to me, sinking back more relaxed into the cool grass as he tilted his head without much thought.

"The sky." He said obviously and smugly, letting his lips curl up into a victorious smirk when I groaned.

"Well, duhhh. But, I mean....besides that. You see more, don't you?" I asked him perceptively, unconsciously hovering closer towards his frame.

He's just very warm...

Touya felt me scoot closer but said nothing, allowing my shoulder to brush against his without complaint.

"It's pointless to see more," he followed up a few moments later, eyes closing dismissively. "It's dark, and even if it wasn't, there's nothing interesting up there, anyways. It's just the sky."

I pursed my lips in thought to his question, keeping my eyes open as I spoke.

"Well, I don't think so. After all, you know what they say-"

"No. I really don't. But, I'm sure you do-" Touya interrupted me with a slight cackle, letting his eyes lazily fall back open to the night.

"Every darkness has its light. In this case, it would be the stars. They look quite pretty tonight, don't you think?" I asked him softly, smiling from ear to ear as I chastely looped my arm through his own.

Touya sighed softly as I did so, seeming to find comfort in the action as he subtly shifted closer to my frame.

"I dunno. They're just stars." He murmured softly, voice going a little bit quieter at our close distance.

He's so cute.

"But, stars are cool-balls of light to be exact. If you look close enough, you'll see those ones over there group together and create a constellation." I said, unintentionally leaning into Touya a little more as I pointed to the corner of the sky.

He snorted slightly at my words, letting his lips curl into a smile of amusement as he looked to the sky with me.

"What are you, a star scientist now?" He asked rhetorically, yet I answered anyways.

"Technically, that's called an astronomer!"

"Technically, you're a doofus."

I pursed my lips in unbothered thought to his words, letting my soft hum fill the night air as the sights above distracted me.

"I guess I am. But, back to what we were saying before, if you look that way, you'll see there are actually still a few clouds in the sky, and those look really cool at night. Right?" I beamed warmly, basking in the cool night breeze that kissed our cheeks.

"....sure." Touya said, sounding a little more convinced.

"Oh! And if you look to the left, you'll see that shooting star over there." I blurted without thinking, letting my mouth fall open in shock, before Touya scoffed.

"That's an airplane, doofus." He explained, shaking his head in begrudging amusement for my cluelessness.

"No, it's-oh. Yeah, you're right," I murmured, puffing out my cheeks before quickly brightening up again. "Well it still looks cool though."

"You would think so." Touya said plainly, causing me to turn my head towards his own in question.

"What do you mean?"
