THE ONCELERS POV
After a few seconds I pulled away from him and reality set in. What would I do now? We couldn't possibly be together and that tore me apart. My parents would never approve of me dating a man let alone a non-human man...thing? He broke the silence.
"Are you feeling better now?" He asked, looking me in the eyes. I forced myself to smile and muttered
"I guess so.." I knew we wouldn't be allowed together, nature itself will try to keep us apart, but I knew I was in love and I cant control love. I looked up at the sky, and saw the moon slowly rising and stars appearing. "Do you want to lie here with me for a while? Just to look at the stars.." I suggested.
The sky started turning from a midnight blue to a pitch black and the stars were extremely visible. I laid down on the grass, which felt like a mattress for me. I still couldn't fathom how well kept and soft the grass was without any other humans living here. I turned my head to the side and saw him lying there with me on the grass and sighed. As long as he was here with me now, nothing mattered. He might not even like me that way anyway, he's not human how am I supposed to know that he's capable of love?
THE LORAXES POV
I could tell that he was upset still, but I still didn't know why. What did I do to trigger him like that? I stopped thinking about it, he feels better now anyways. We were lying next to each other and I put my arm comfortingly around him. I looked at him again and I saw he was fast asleep and he started snoring. He looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb him so I closed my eyes and drifted off into my own slumber.
