Your face flushed as you felt a small tug on a strand of your hair. Turning your head slightly you see Braig, smirking at you as he played with your hair. You pulled away slightly, muttering a small "stop" to which he just laughed at. "Oh come on, its cute!" You turn to fully face him, a puzzled look on your face. "What is?" "Your face when you get all embarrassed." He leans in and you lean back out of instinct, tipping backwards as you do so. Braig wraps an arm around your waist and steadies you. "Woah, falling for me already? I haven't even gotten to use my cheesy pick up lines!" Through you flustered mess, you manage to squeak out "or your tacky jokes." He lets out a laugh, a sincere one. "You catch on quick! Hey, I wanna show you something." He takes your hand and pulls you along and starts walking in a seemingly random direction. He keeps a hold of your hand, but after a while shifts and hooks arms with you. Then he puts his arm around your waist, and your face feels incredibly hot. You bet your face is cherry red by now. "Where even are we?" you ask. Braig gives a slight chuckle and says, "You've been living here for how long, and you still haven't seen half of the world around you? What do you do when you take those super long walks around castle grounds anyway?" Zoning out, usually. Wait, "You watch me?" You don't expect the blatant answer you receive. "And every other thing that waltzes by, yeah. It's my job." His grip on your waist tightens a bit, and he pulls you over to an empty space in a wall. "It's just through here." After walking a few feet, you both emerged from the little alley into a vast open field. There were beautiful flowers of all sorts, and they all seemed to be bathing in the light of the moon and the twinkling stars. How the sky looked so clear was beyond you, and you couldn't help but stand there in silent awe. You were almost in a trance as you walked to a patch of grass surrounded by flowers and sat down to stare at the sky. You heard the grass rustle as Braig took a seat next to you. You could feel his eyes on you as he said "It's pretty, isn't it?" You could only nod, cheeks warm. After a few minutes of watching the stars, you felt Braig start to play with your hair again. He seemed to be humming as he rested his hand in your hair, leaned forward, and pecked your cheek. Your face lit up like a candle and, too embarrassed to know what to do, you flopped back into the soft grass. Braig looks down at you for a moment, then laughs at your behavior. When you had finally called yourself down, you tugged on Braig's sleeve, drawing his attention away from the sky. When he turns to you, you push yourself off the ground and give him a quick peck. You pull away almost immediately, and stare at the ground while he sits there is silent shock. After a minute or two, he smiles at you. "Come here you." he says with a small chuckle, and pulls you close. You two sit in silence, enjoying the stars and cool night air.
