"Do you ever feel like an insignificant part of a the world?"
My voice is a low hum in the darkness, our silhouettes casting little shadows on the grass that we're lying down on, and I can only just make out Calum laid down next to me with his eyes wide open and looking at the ink black sky above us that is littered with small, twinkling stars.
"How do you mean?" He responds, his voice soft to not break be tranquil state we gathered over the hour of being outside and star gazing.
"Just, we're made up of atoms, particles, and cells, in this big universe that is made up of planets and stars and comets and everything else up there," my quiet voice is laced with irritation, and he notices it as he leans on his elbow to look at me.
"Ok?"
"It's just sad that the universe and everything is so damn big, yet we're ants amongst gigantic things. The ants are minuscule to us."
"Where is this coming from?" He asks intrigued and worried, his dark brown eyes looking over at my face as I stare back at the sky above us.
"I don't know," I shrug, fingers playing with the strands of grass I'm laid on, "I guess I'm having one of those days where everything in the world seems so big and I'm literally nothing and it scares me. I'm unimportant."
"You're not unimportant," he retorts, barely missing a beat as it comes out of my mouth, and his voice only holds sincerity.
"I am," I reply, and I shake my head and continue before he can argue, "I am today. I am tomorrow. I will be next week and next month as well."
"Why have you never said anything?" He whispers, eyes now cast down at the grass that's he's ripping from the soil and I want to scold him but I don't.
"Never felt like it mattered. Like I said, unimportant," I whispered, my best friend shaking his head and laughing without a trace of humour.
"Have you ever thought you did matter?" He questions, and I sit up shaking my head, sitting cross legged next to him as he sits up straighter, "that, maybe, someone cares?"
"My family care, if that's what you mean?"
"No, y/n," he groans, flopping down onto the grass and huffing out, rubbing his black hair with hands and sitting up straight again with a wild and determined look in his eye, "me."
"You?"
"Me."
"Why?" I furrow my brow, eyes dropping to another part of his face that isn't his eyes as I begin to get nervous and intimidated.
"Why?" He chuckles, shaking his head and pulling my chin up so that I'm staring into his warm, brown eyes full of hope, "because, you may think you're nothing in the universe, but I think you are the universe."
He stops for a breath, looking at me and only me, and I feel my heart rate spike as he licks his lips and slowly continues.
"I fell in love with my best friend approximately 467 days ago. It was my birthday, and my mum threw a giant party for me and half the kids at school. The only person I was bothered about being there was you. You're the only person I'm ever bothered about is you. You may think you seem insignificant, but you're the planets, comets and stars that make up my damn universe, y/n."
Just as he finishes his speech, I lean over and press my lips to his warm ones. Both of us are sat in shock and fear, not really knowing what to until I mumble against his lips.
"You're meant to kiss me, Calum," I close my eyes as soon as I feel his lips softly move against mine, his hand coming up to the side of my face and stroking my loose hair to tuck behind my ear.
He pulls away after a minute or two of us kissing, his lips parted and swollen slightly as he breathes heavily and I'm no doubt looking similar, but he looks so much better like this.
"I love you too, Calum. I'm glad im significant to you, thank you," I whisper, kissing him gently again as he smiles at me. He pulls me towards him, laying us both back down on the grass and letting us watch the stars for a short while longer.
