Stelle's POV:
I've always been good at hiding my feelings. It's a necessary skill when you live a life like mine aboard the Silver Star. But there's one secret I can't seem to bury deep enough: my feelings for March 7th.
From the moment we met, I was drawn to her infectious energy and radiant smile. Every mission, every shared moment, only made my affection for her grow. But I knew I had to keep my feelings hidden. March 7th is my closest friend, and I can't risk ruining that with a confession of love.
So, I lock my secret away, cherishing the moments we spend together, even if it means living with a heart that aches in silence. Little does she know, she's the one who makes my world brighter, within the darkness of this space.
But one day, everything changed. We were sitting in the observation deck, the stars twinkling around us. March 7th turned to me, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Stelle," she asked, "have you ever had a crush on someone?"
My heart skipped a beat. I tried to keep my voice steady as I replied, "Yeah, I have."
She smiled, leaning back against the seat. "Me too. Actually, I really like Caelus."
Caelus? My brother? The words hit me like a punch to my heart. I forced a smile, hoping she couldn’t see the pain in my eyes. "Caelus, huh?"
"Yeah," she continued, her voice dreamy. "He's just so kind and strong. What about you? Who's your crush?"
I looked away, my throat tight. "It's... no one important." I stood up abruptly, needing to escape. "I need to go."
"Stelle, wait! Did I say something wrong?" March 7th called after me, but I didn't answer. I walked quickly down the corridor, my heart aching with every step.
