She laughed loudly at his awkward jokes. Laughing and offering comfort as he buried his face into her shoulder like a child trying to block out the embarrassment. Their friend look at them with raise eyebrows and curled lips. She continues chuckles softly as the group moves on to another topic and Lazarus finally reveals his flushed face. He turns and stares openly at the smiling girl.
Any and all trace of doubt he ever had these passing months somehow disappears and he's in love again.
Smiling, he pulls Saturn on to his lap, not caring if they were in public with friends.
She gasps. "Lazarus!" And he kisses her strong and passionately.
"What was that for?" She whispers, cupping his face when they pull apart.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"No, I really, really love you Saturn."
"Oh, yea'? How much do you love me than?"
"I love you to Saturn and back."
