You arrived at Ramshackle. It was dark now and there were stars out. You felt so tired and achy. You were about to walk up the porch but you decided to stop and stare up at the sky.  "Y/N? You coming?" Yuu looked at your still figure. You had to make a decision. You and Demeter always had a tradition of watching the stars. You even kept up the tradition when she wasn't around. But you were so tired and you felt so sweaty and gross. Demeter would probably want you to take care of yourself instead of stargazing. She'd say something like "I'll give you a free pass for tonight. Make sure to get some rest, okay? Wash up, too. You've got icky stuff in your hair." Yeah. That's what she would say. She always cared about you so much more than she cared for herself. 

"...Sorry, love." You whispered to the sky before turning to the door. "Yeah. Sorry, the stars caught my attention." You walked up the steps and walked inside. You almost immediately went to the bathroom, washing your hair quickly. You wanted nothing more than to go to bed right now. As you exited the bathroom, you stopped to stare at yourself in the mirror. Damn, you're kind of hot. And buff. You've got muscles from basically swimming constantly for all of your life. You groggily walked to your bed and flopped down on it, falling asleep almost immediately.

Demeter's beautiful voice was telling you about her day.

"Oh! I wanna do something with you tonight!" Demeter smiled warmly at you.

"Oh?" You were curious.

"You see the sky?" Demeter pointed upwards at the night sky.

The night sky was clear of all clouds, the moon illuminated the sky and the stars shone brightly.

You nodded and she pointed at a cluster of stars. "See that grouping of stars? It makes a shape when you connect the dots. They call it the big dipper."

You squinted until you saw what she was talking about. You never really took the time to watch the stars until now. "Woah..."

"Y/N... I wanna stargaze with you. I'm gonna walk over to the beach, that way we can be closer!" She smiled as she picked up her canvas tote bag and walked over to the beach.

"Oh! Okie dokie!" You swam over to the beach and lied on the shore.

Demeter set down a towel and laid down on it, facing the sky.

You followed what Demeter did, lying on your back on the shore.

The night sky was actually really pretty.

You heard something.

Music?

"What playing?" You questioned Demeter. She was probably playing music on her phone. She talked about that often.

The song was elegant. Delicate. It was calm and beautiful.

"La cygne. It's the 13th movement of le carnaval des animaux, an orchestra by Camille Saint-Saëns. It's my favorite piece. It's graceful." Demeter answered.

"What those words?" You questioned once again. These words sounded fancy.

"La cygne is the swan, and le carnaval des animaux is the carnival of the animals." Demeter hummed.

"I see..." You mumbled.

This is so pretty.

.

She is so pretty...

The way the moonlight highlighted Demeter's ethereal beauty was awe-inspiring.

Demeter stared up at the sky. 

You stared at Demeter.

Your dream was interrupted by someone banging on the front doors. You groggily opened your eyes. You sat up in your bed, rubbing your eyes. You groaned. "Who would ever be here this late..."
