let her know

hi i can't stop smiling and i'm in a good mood and writing a few of these so take this fluff.

=====

the lights danced in her eyes as she peered into the sky. an ocean of light, bouncing off the smoke and onto the buildings and trees. the local northern lights that weren't in the freezing cold. the view was aesthetic, she couldn't look away. her gaze was locked onto the ocean in the sky while his gaze was on her. he studied the way her eyes sparkled, her were lips slightly parted and the light dusting of freckles on her cheeks. he knew she wasn't perfect; no one was. but in his mind, she was the closest to perfect anyone could find. he shook his head lightly and smiled at the cheesiness that went through his brain.

her focus had been broken and she turned to face him. his eyes that she swear changes colour, the millions of freckles that lined his entire face and the always messy hair that she had grown to love caught her attention. they both looked into each others eyes wanting to say something. neither could get the words out.

a yell from one of their friends above broke them out of their trance. blushing, they looked away and walked back to their friend group. they all continued to walk down the bustling city streets, joking and laughing. cars whizzed past, buses stopping at every corner, loud people on phones could all be heard from the sidewalk. the city isn't a quiet place.

they slowly made their way back to the car, the only one eligible to drive and the half asleep one took up the front seats while the rest piled up in the back. the drive was quiet. ish. the radio played as a comfort noise in the back but no one spoke. the nearly asleep one became the asleep one, driver focusing on the road and the other friend staring out of the window. that left two. her and him. they both sat there lost in their thoughts, thinking about the opposite sitting next to them.

now, these two weren't your everyday couple who walked around holding hands everywhere. no, these two were awkward shits who barely knew how to communicate but somehow still manage to maintain a relationship.

she sat there with her hand resting on her thigh. he sat there with his hand on the seat, staring at her hand. he gave himself a pep talk in his head and worked up the confidence.

he lightly punched her hand. with an expression of 'affection and oh my god why are you so stupid' she faced him and repeated the action. this little fight continued for a minute before he stopped. he looked at her hand and slowly placed his on top of hers. her eyes widened as she realised what was happening. too nervous to entwine their hands, she played with his finger like a little kid. he smiled at that before lacing their fingers together. his gaze was drawn to her face. she held the same expression as when she peered at the lights. her heart felt like it had threw confetti in the air and did backflips. she stared at their intertwined hands. she couldn't help a grin creep up onto her face.

she looked at him who hadn't looked away from her face. their eyes locked and not a word was exchanged. she stared into those unique eyes and realised how much this special human meant to her. he looked at her ocean eyes and knew that this girl was something different. something special. many thoughts were racing through his head, just by looking at her. one thing stood out.

'i promise that i will make you happy again, no matter what it takes'

she wondered what was going on inside his head. he was right here but far away, in a different world. she knew they were good thoughts by the smile permanently printed on his face. that smile that she didn't see as often as she wanted to. in that moment she looked at him and thought,

'i promise that i will make you happy again, no matter what it takes'

while their hands were intertwined, holding on to each other as if they would lose each other they stared into the eyes of one another and vowed to make the other happy. he squeezed her hand and she returned the gesture. her eyes fluttered closed and she rested her featherlight head on his shoulder, a ghost of a smile still to be seen on her lips. what he had wanted to say, he didn't say but you never know. maybe one day he'll let her know.
