I woke up on a couch in the middle of the night. I almost panicked but I remember where I was. I had fallen asleep because I was so tired. I look outside the window...the dark gloomy clouds were covering the moonlight. The trees leaves were blowing in the wind. It looked like it was going to rain. I heard my stomach rumble

"great..." I held onto my stomach and got up. I tried to find the kitchen in the dark halls I could barley see a thing. But then I saw a dim light coming from a corner. I turned to see Stuart filling a glass of water

"Stuart?" I said quietly. He jumped a bit

"Oh! Y/n! Wot are yew doing ere' this late at night?" He said in a whisper

"I'm hungry..." I said rubbing my eyes getting closer to him

"I got yew luv, here!" He handed me his glass cup of water and a bowl of strawberries that he had next to him.

"hehe, thank youu Stuart!!!" I hug him, I instantly got those butterflies, my face felt heated as he gripped my waist into a tighter hug.

"Of course luv."  He said into my neck, I felt his breath against it sending shivers down my spine. I pulled back slowly shoving a strawberry in my mouth

"You were hungry too?" I said giggling with a mouth full of strawberries

"hehe, yup!"

"Haha- *cough*" I choke a bit on my strawberry

"Careful luv! Ere!!'" Stuart handed me the glass of water. I drink some then look at him for a second I admired him...he's so pretty and gorgeous oh my gosh! I then burst out laughing and so does he since I remember the thought of me choking on a stupid strawberry.

"why do I do that with you hahah!" I say while laughing

"Do what haha!" Stuart says holding the glass cup

"look at you then just..." I thought about what I was going to say. It would sound like I like him so I pushed my comment away. Even though I maybe have a small crush on him...

"Never mind...haha" I try to laugh it off

"What were yew goin' ta sayyy??" Stuart says getting closer to me, my face heats up.

"N-nothing, I- never mind! Really!" I quickly shove a strawberry in my mouth.

"oh- okay!"

"Uhm...Y/n?" Stuart says as he twiddles his fingers

"Yes Stu?"

Stuart blushed when I called him that.

"Are yew sleepy still?" Stuart said scratching the back of his neck

"Not really. Why?" I said as I drank some water

"Oh! Perfect! I want ta show yew somefing! I fink yew will love et!!!" Stuart squealed like a little kid and grabbed my hand ever so gently. I blushed as I looked at our fingers intertwined with eachother.

The moment Stuart opened the door a bit a wind hit our faces, it was pretty cold since it was probably about to rain but the gloomy clouds kind of drifted away from the now visible moonlight

"Oh wait here! I'll be back!" Stuart quickly ran across the hall

He soon came back with a jacket...his jacket

"I know yew don't av' a jacket so...ere's mine!" Stuart handed me his jacket and I put it on it was extremely big on me but it was so cozy!!

"Ah! Thank you Stuart!!"

Stuart blushed at the sight of me in his clothes. He then grabbed my hand again and we headed out the door. He took me into the nearby woods a couple blocks away from the studio building. Not to far. There was a little wooden ladder up ahead...it looked like a little hangout area. But the place reached all the way high up in the trees. It was blocked so no one can see it from a distance though.

Stuart stopped right in front of the wooden ladder and placed his hand on my shoulders facing him. He got closer, I got more nervous

"Y/n, yew promise not ta tell anyone about this place?" He looked serious

"I promise." I smiled at him

"Cross your heart." Stuart's face got closer, blush filled my cheeks

"cross my heart!" I said

Right when I said that a bit of thunder was heard and it began to drizzle ever so lightly. Not enough to get you soaked though. Stuart and I looked up to the tall green trees, the moonlight shining on his Stuart's face...he is so pretty.

Just so perfect the way his little small nose was perfectly aligned with his chin, the way his dark eyes twinkled because of the moonlight, the way his sharp jaw line popped out when he looked up. He was simply gorgeous without trying.

The drizzle felt so cool and comforting, it felt great on my skin. Stuart then grabbed my hand and took me closer to the ladder.

"Ladies first!" Stuart said making a silly pose pointing to the ladder. I giggled and smiled at him. I began to climb up the ladder. It took some time since it was really high up but we made it. The little hangout was just a wooden board being supported by the tall trees branches. We were so high up I felt like I was flying.

Stuart then hugged me from behind and lifted my head up

"Look luv! Tha moon!!" Stuart said as he smiled

"WOAHH!!" The moon was bigger than ever. It was like a glowing disco ball in the sky.

"Did you make this place Stuart?!" I said looking back at him

"Yup! With my bare hands! It's the only place where I can feel happy I guess..." he got sad a bit while saying the last part but I hugged him

"It's so perfect!" I said holding onto him, he held me tighter. He then let go and pointed into the woods

"Yew see there?" Stuart pointed in the middle of the woods. I was confused

"Yea?"

"On some nights this whole place fills wif fireflies! It may be night and dark when they come out but they shine the way and it's so beautiful. I have to show yew some day!" Stuart looked back at me.

"I'd do anything to see that!!!" I said grabbing his hands. Stuart giggled and wrapped his hand around my shoulder as we looked back at the full moon.

"Why does Murdoc hate you so much Stuart?" I randomly said. Stuart instantly stopped smiling I noticed

"Oh! Shit! Sorry! I-I didn't mean to make you sad! Sorry Stuart!" I said in panic

"No! It's okay! I don't really know why Murdoc hates me so much...he treats me so different compared to the other band members. I guess I'm just there? Useless...as he said." Stuart looked down

"Stuart...I just met you but I will tell you this, you aren't useless. I used to call myself that because well, my parents also treated me differently compared to my siblings but I soon learned that I don't need them. See where I am now? With a stranger looking at the moon and guess what? I'm happier with you...a stranger that I just met then where I was before." I looked at Stuart

"Yewr happier wif m-me?" Stuart said getting closer

"yea...i know I said you are a stranger but if I'm being honest you don't feel like a stranger Stuart." I scratched the back of my head

"Yew don't feel like a stranger either Y/n"

"Can I h-hug you again?" I said a bit hesitant

"Y/n yew can hug me whenever yew feel like it." And with that we hugged a good long hug.

"This place is a secret...between yew and me okay?" Stuart held my face and looked me in the eyes

"between you and me." I said
