CHAPTER 2

☁ Luna ☁

❝He's that kind of a person I could just sit with and talk for hours.❞

The next day Luna doesn't even hesitate to walk into Louis' room. She enjoyed talking with Louis the day before, hoping he did too. Not only is she happy about it, but nervous too. She's afraid of saying something wrong and making Louis upset, because even Luna knows that she has a bit too big mouth.

''Hello'', she breaths, closing the door after just staring at Louis for a while. Even with the blue eyes that had lost their sea color, Louis is beautiful. His brown hair looked so soft, the crinkles he got always when he laughed and the soft lips.

Luna shakes her head with a smile. ''Hi, Luna, visiting again?'' Louis smiles, although it was the second time Luna comes to Louis, and he was happy of it.

But Luna can't sort out if Louis is being serious or if he's just joking around. ''Oh...I-I'm really sorry, I can leave, if-'', Louis feels confused of Luna's sudden lack of confidence.

''No, I want you here. I was only... Joking. Trying to tease you'', he chuckles. ''Just teasing'', he repeats. Luna sighs in comfort, walking to Louis' bed, sitting on the chair that's always on the right side of the bed. Luna's almost positive that the chair was more comfortable than the bed Louis was in, deducing by the look on Louis' face.

Louis smiles and licks his lips. ''You know, it would be much easier to know where you're going if you'd wear heels'', Louis says, noticing that when Luna doesn't wear heels, he can't hear where she's walking.

Luna smiles, nodding. ''I promise to wear heels from now on, Louis.''

''You have a really soft voice, Luna'', Louis hums, turning around slowly to face Luna. ''Could you come closer?'' He softly whispers to her, not hearing a voice coming from Luna, starting to think that she left the room.

Louis has always been focused on his surroundings, even after he got blind. He feels the presence of people like a small breeze on his skin. 

Louis hates when people just leave the room he's in, even if it's only to use the bathroom. Because then, Louis doesn't know did they really leave or are they just trying to make a joke about Louis' blind eyesight. Some of his friends still do it, sometimes it's nice and sometimes it annoys Louis.

But the sound of Luna's chair coming closer makes Louis sure of Luna still being in the same room. Louis searches Luna, finally touching her body, finally knowing that she's close enough for Louis to reach her without falling. ''Before I was in the hospital I was counting my own steps in my home'', he lazily smiles, drawing circles on Luna's back palm, not really aware if Luna understood what he meant.

It seems to Luna that Louis thought of all of the memories with love. Even the worst memories would not matter in his blind eyes. ''Come and sit on the bed, please, Luna.''

Luna hesitates in this, but gets up and takes her shoes off, sitting on the hospital bed, in front of Louis, who turns around, again, only to face Luna's beautiful, yet undiscovered face to Louis. It makes Louis sad to know that he can never see Luna's face, see how she laughs. How her eyes would shine in tears of happiness. 

Louis's hand comes to Luna's cheek. ''You know,'', Louis starts with a whisper. ''If I could choose, I'd rather like to be blinded by your beauty, that I can't see, more than be blinded by the sun I can feel on my skin, that's craving for your touch.''
