You've known that Ellie loves space more than anything, wouldn't be surprised if she loves space more than you even. Whenever you two are out at night, her neck is crooked, staring up at the sky.

Tonight wasn't any different. The air bites your skin gently, fingertips frozen but when aren't they? Something Ellie makes fun of you for all the goddamn time but always offering to warm you up with her furnace levels of body heat.

"That's either Jupiter or Mars" Ellie stares up at the sky like always, squinting at the bright planet beside the moon. You simply smile, loving this side of her, seeing how innocent and sweet she is. "Hm" She hums, taking out her phone.

It's a cloudy night, you guys can't really see any stars clearly but maybe you're just blind. Knowing nothing about space, you love hearing about everything she's incredibly passionate and intelligent about. She makes it so easy to fall in love with her, how couldn't you when she looks like that.

Your head rests on her shoulder as she holds her phone up, some app open on her phone that identifies constations and planets. "It's Jupiter, Mars would be over-" She quickly turns which sends you stumbling over, giggling at the way she gets so drawn in by space, "-over here. Oh and Gemini would be over there, but you can't really see it" She looks over at you and smiles gently.

"Well not like you need the constellation" You waddle back a bit and extend your arms, striking some cute pose. This makes her laugh, shaking her head as even in dim lights her cheeks turn bright red. It's so easy to make her flushed.

She points out a few other constellations out to you when an older man and his wife pass by. They look older, retired and living their best lives. Not the kinds that will call us a slur but smile and relate their romance to yours. "Finding anything interesting?" The older man asks, slowing down to look up in the direction of the moon.

"Nothing too special, Jupiter's right next to the m-" You wrap your arm around hers and rest your weight against her side. Zoning out as she talks with this man, both relating to what they see. All you can focus on is how excited she is to talk space with someone. The conversation doesn't last long till his wife is calling him to continue to their destination.

"Let's take a walk" I pull her arm as I start shivering again, "I'm cold." Both of you giggle because when aren't you?

Hand in hand, you just keep talking about space, well really she talks and you ask questions. "Space was just always my escape you know? I just find something about it so beautiful"

Looking up at ellie's side profile there's a reserved grin on your lips, not even looking up like she is. "So beautiful" your voice is quieter, not talking about space at all.
