Moonlit Night

The stars were such beautiful things, shining so brightly against the deep, dark blue of the night sky. It was a dark night, as only a sliver of the moon was visible. But he didnt need any light, you were his light. He watched you from afar, simply observing you as you sat there, petting your blupee. You lived the nocturnal lifestyle as you much preferred the cool moon over the obnoxious sun. 

Astor had seen you awhile back, playing with your faithful companion under the light of the stars. How beautiful you were... Could someone so magical really exist? He would sit and watch you after that. He didnt find it creepy or wrong, he just wanted to watch your movements and listen to your voice as you spoke to your blupee.

Night after night he would come to visit you, falling deeper and deeper in love as he did. The urge to know your name growing in his mind. But he was far too shy, so he'd simply just sit back in the shadows and watch. 

He loved it when you'd sing to your companion. Your voice was just perfect to him. So sweet and lovely. If only he could join you in the songs you sang. He would love to dance the night away with you...

As time passed, he too became one who lived in the night. After following you home, he learned that you lived in the woods, away from everyone. He liked that about you. It made him feel special that he was one of the only people lucky enough to gaze upon your perfect form. 

It was night again, and he watched you as you spun with your little blupee, its little chirps ringing out into the night. His head rested on his hand, and a smile was painted on his face as he watched you wistfully. 

The sound of your laughter was such a blessing. Maybe one night he could make you smile and laugh like that... 

Perhaps that night would come soon. He was slowly gaining the courage to finally meet you. That, and he was awfully lonely. It was eating at him slowly. He needed you. You gave him life. You made him love. Gods he wished he could just sit next to you.

You were singing again, a familiar song. Without thinking, he began to hum along. Your song died out as you heard the faint hum. Someone was there. "Hello?" You called out, summoning a glowing orb to light the surrounding area. There sat a man, leaning against a tree and looking right at you.

You nearly jumped out of your skin at seeing him. He was so pale... And those golden eyes. They held a dark beauty. Even if he was handsome, you were still weary of him. You decided to speak first. "Who are you?"

Anxiety filled Astor, and for a moment he was quiet. Eventually he did speak however, saying "Astor... My name is Astor."

His eyes never left yours, it was a little unnerving... You nodded though, putting on a friendly smile even if you were a bit anxious to be alone with this strange man. "W-whats your name?" Astor finally asked, bringing his knees up to his chest and hugging them. 

He looked more scared than you felt, and that made you wonder about him. Was he lost? Why was he out here? You got up, holding your blupee to you as you walked over to him. You offered the strange man your hand, and almost instantly he accepted it. It was almost like he had been waiting for you to do that. "Y/N" You said while getting a better look at him.

He stood up, looking into your gorgeous eyes. He held onto your hand for just a few seconds, though he soon realized and let go of your hand. Color rushed to his face, and he looked away bashfully. 

Despite him being odd, he was quite cute, and you couldnt help but smile at him. "What are you doing out here?" You asked, and he looked back up at you. He knew he couldnt just tell you that he had been stalking you...

"I... I was just getting some air when I heard a lovely voice." He said, putting his hands behind his back. "I just couldnt help but hum along..."

"Thats alright." You say, giving him a bigger smile. Maybe the two of you could be friends? You hadnt had a friend in awhile. Living in the middle of nowhere kind of made it difficult to have a social life.

"Well, are you hungry?" You asked, and he looked up at you with a surprised look. "I suppose so." He said, not wanting to waste the opportunity to spend more time with you.

"Alrighty then, Come on and I'll make us something nice!"

He nodded, following you back to your home. This was perhaps the best night ever. He finally met the person that he had been wishing to for what felt like forever.
