Stars and Sapphire

Song used: Rewrite the stars from The Greatest Showman
_________________________________________

The night breeze had always been the one giving the sense of tranquility whenever walking outside, as i take the usual route to my favourite spot underneath the giant old tree that's been there long time ago.

**You know I want you..
It's not a secret I try to hide..**

To my surprise, there was a familiar voice accompained by a strum of a guitar.
"...Xavier...? What is he doing here.." i whispered.
Xavier already sensed the little owl who was pretty much gawking at him but he chose to stay quiet with a small smile tugged on his lips.

**But you're hearin' my heart
So who can stop me if I decide it's on my destiny?**

*creak*

"Oh shi- um...hi."

He chuckles, "is spying on me your favorite free time activity now?" pats the ground next to him, motioning me to sit beside him.

"I didn't know you could play the guitar."
"You never asked." he smiled.

She shrugs, "touche. Anyway, what're you doing? Is it sadboy hour?"

He then rolled his eyes, "yeah, so sad, so single. Kinda like my neighbor" He remarked sarcastically.

"Huh? Wait..Hey-"
he lets out a laugh, his endearing voice cuts through the otherwise silent night.

"Y'know, i am surprised you're single.. I mean, if i had your looks? Boy, I'd be starting a harem." I said casually.

A scoff was heard from the man.
"Who do you take me for? I'm not greedy like you are..." He looks to the opposite direction. "Besides, it's your fault anyway..." He mumbled.

"And what do i have to do with-" He then cuts me off by his over the top throat clearing and picks up his guitar.

"Anywayy... I was trying to practice my guitar until you stalked me." He teased.
"H- i didn't "stalk" you, i was simply surprised to see you here..." I pouted.
"Well.. Could you show me your practice progress? Please? With cherry and public money on top?

He looked at me weirdly before shrugging it off.
"It's fine, but this time, it's not a practice." He didn't elaborate further and begin to strum on his guitar.

**What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine..
Nothin' could keep us apart
You'll be the one I was meant to find...**
He looked into my eyes, his sapphire irises glinting underneath the sea of stars.

**It's up to you, and it's up to me..
No one could say what we get to be.
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
And maybe the world could be ours, tonight.**
"You know this song, right? Come, sing with me." He says it oh so gently, waiting for me to continue the song.
I hesitantly find my voice since i don't sing outside of the bathroom, especially in front of him, who was waiting for me eagerly.

**You think it's easy..
You think I don't wanna run to you..
But there are mountains..
And there are doors that we can't walk through.
I know you're wondering why,
Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls..
But when we go outside,
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all..**

***flashback***
"I bought you something." He leans on the doorway.
"Ha? What is it?" I looked at him quizzically.
"Turn around." He said curtly.
"Nuuh! You're gonna try something funny-"
"Turn around, no i'm not going to "try something funny", when have i ever done that?" He sighed.

Then i turned around as he said, then i heard some small clinking noise and the feeling of cold metal makes itself known, i looked down on it and saw a crystal butterfly charm necklace was placed on my neck.

"How did you have the money to-"
"That's not important." He shakes his head, seemingly used to my random thoughts.
"Do you like it?" He asked, a small smile tugged on his lips.

"Hell yeah! I love butterflies! But.. It's not even my birthday yet, why'd you give this to me?"

He looks at me for a good minute while smiling, then said, "you'll know when you do."

***present***

**All I want is to fly with you...
All I want is to fall with you...
So just give me all of you...
It feels impossible *it's not impossible*
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible!**

We both sang in harmony, the feeling of his loving eyes gazing into mine felt all surreal.

**And how do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine..
And nothin' could keep us apart.
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find.
It's up to you, and it's up to me..
No one could say what we get to be..
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours...**

I then sang the final parts, then i felt warm hands enveloping my cold ones, his loving gaze on mine felt so gentle, so right.

"So.. What do you think?" He spoke in a soft tone.
"Think... Think of what?" I asked back, caught of guard.

He then suddenly pulls me close.
"This. And changing our status from sad and single." He chuckled.

I smiled, and decided to tease him further. "I may be single but i ain't sad... But yes. The answer is yes."

The night had never felt so warm.
