We pull into the drive and conner gets out the car and opens my door for me.

"thank-you" i say

"uhm, i need to warn you, my sister is waiting for you inside- shes, uhm, lets just say, very exited that her little brother is on a date and she is going to take advantage of that"

"oh, uhm, well im exited to meet her" i say following him to the door, he unlocks it and we walk through the house. Suddenly a door bursts open.

"oh my god- HI! you must be y/n" she says, shaking my hand.

"uh-"

"he talks about you all the time" she whispers, making conner go red "im charlotte by the way, nice to meet you!"

"oh yeah, nice to meet you too"

"ive always wanted another girl around the house" she says as conner grabs my hand, leading us through the house while she followed us.

"oh, god yeah, me too, i have two older brothers, one is always working away for the government and the other, who i work with is a 'consulting detective' "

"you mean sherlock holmes?"

"yeah-"

"yeah, dads told us all about him, i thought you where his little sister but i wasn't so sure"

"well, yeah i am"

"okay, charlotte, lets let her breath...please"

"okay, okay, well, to was so nice to meet you, now go!" she says, walking back to her bedroom.

"im so sorry-"

"no! its okay, i like your sister"

"oh, good, cause i think she likes you already"

The sky was glistening with stars and the crescent moon was shining brighter than all of them. We climb up a hill and into a large clearing.
"We picked the perfect night" Conner said.

"Yeah, its really pretty, oh! Is that a constellation?" I ask, pointing up at the group of stars.

"Uh...I mean, they're...stars..."

"Woah! I really didn't know that-"

"Yes yes I know I'm so incredibly smart"

**********

We lay down the blanket and just sit there together, talking every so often and then admiring the sky and occasionally each other.

*********

"so yeah that's how i almost died yesterday...not fun by the way"

"no i wouldn't think so-" Conner laughs. There was a moment of silence before he stretched and put an arm around me.

"smooth" i say

"oh, why thank-you"

***********

"arnt they beautiful?" i ask, pointing at the stars.

"huh? oh yeah they're okay"

"what?" i look over and hes looking directly at me "oh"

He leans in and kisses me on the cheek.

**********

"hey, uhm, its getting quite late, i dont think sherlock would be happy if i get home really late" i say, sitting up.
