To The Groom... (Lafayette x Laurens) [Laurette]

Chapter Seventy: A Sky Full of Stars

(Boop. Night. Because I said so. *cough* rusty spoons *cough* XD)

Laurens stared at the ground, zoning out. Lafayette looked at him, frowning.

"My poor star, mon monde et mon coeur..." he said. Tonight, the night sky was filled with beautiful stars... big and small... shooting stars as well... along with a shining, full moon.

"What did they do to you, mon cher...?" he whispered, cautiously pulling him close. Laurens sniffled, hugging him. Lafayette placed a kiss on his brunette locks. He looked over at the flap of the tent, wondering if he can get him outside.

"Hey... Laurens... wanna see the stars...?" he asked him. Laurens looked up at him, thinking or being silent.

"......." he slowly nodded.

"Okay... I'll do anything you want..." he pulled him in his lap, picking him up. Laurens sort of freaked out, but wrapped his arms around his neck.

"No need to be frightened..." he stood up (I'm not sure if the tent is big enough to even stand up XD) and walked I guess out of the tent which apparently was fukin opened. The stars lit up the empty battlefield, absolutely beautiful. Laurens looked up at the sky, eyes sparkling. You could see the stars in Laurens's eyes, he was absolutely beautiful.

"Wow..." Lafayette sat down, looking up at the stars. At a time like this Laurens's would be so happy. He wasn't sure how he felt.

"I could count the stars all night long... but it would be endless..." Lafayette said. Laurens slowly nodded.

"....heh, that's how much I love you..." Lafayette said quietly. Laurens looked at him, silent.

"I would of sacrificed my safety for yours... I'm so sorry, mon amour..." Lafayette smiled slightly, sighing. Laurens stared at him.

".........I-...." Laurens tried to speak. Lafayette looked back at him.

"What...??" he wondered if he could talk now. Laurens breathing was now shaky(shakey idfk), his hands trembled moving his hands to Lafayette's cheeks.

"I-...." he couldn't speak, but he tried so hard.

"I-I..." he couldn't seem to do it.

"You don't have to force yourself to talk, mon amour... give yourself time..." Lafayette kissed his cheek.

"I-I l-l-l.... lo-ove you...." Laurens kissed him.
