30 Day OTP Challenge: Template x Pale

Day 4: On a Date

The cold air nipped at the two skeletons as they leaned against one another, watching the star glimmer and twinkle throughout the mess of purples, blues, black, and so much more. The more the display had cast its beauty the more the couple looked more intently at the spectacle.

Template had offered Pale to go to someplace special so that they, as one might expect, could have a romantic date together and bond a little more than they already have. And with him having literally nothing else better to do, Pale obviously took up on that offer.

And so here they are, sitting together on a ledge as they observe the beautiful night sky of Outertale.

Although this was very unoriginal and yet so expected for Template's standards, it still managed to be Pale's favorite dating spot.

The sprinkles of sparkling stars seem to flow in the limitless amounts of the sky, looking like colorful blotches of paint that would never dry for as long as this universe lived. Not to mention, this was one of the few dates where talking wasn't encouraged. He could just look out as Template pointed at some stars and pointed out constellations, most of which being mixed up for one another but it was the excitement behind it that was a lot better than the accuracy.

Speaking of Template, he always seemed to be so happy bringing Pale here to this universe. He loved seeing Pale like this, so focused on rather the galaxy or him pointing things out made him feel so proud of himself. He found a place Pale mostly actually enjoyed being in that was good for him as well! Now all he had to do was not exploit this amazing thing and everything would be perfect!

As the date had progressed, there were unmistakably some moments eyes would be caught in a hold of intense staring of one another. But when those moments had actually played out, it was really relaxing more than awkward. They would hold contact and occasionally cuddle closer up together so the nipping air could seize.

"Look, look up there!" Template almost jumped up from where he was sat to point out one wisp on light, followed by another, and then a few more. By then, a meteor shower danced across the sky with a million light-shows. His eyes lit up as he looked over at Pale. "This is so cool! I wonder how many wishes could be made on these for that single second!" Template exclaimed over to him before looking back up at the illuminated sky.

"... Many..." was all Pale muttered over to the excited pile of bones, leaning his head back against his shoulder. Template glanced over at him.

"You know..." Template began, setting his head on top of Pale's as he continued speaking. "... you're practically a wish come true for me! A trillion of stars pales in comparison to what you have done to my life!" Pale eased against him a bit more against the other.

"... Close." Template let out a small and confused hum.

"'Close'? What do you mean by 'close'?" Pale was silent as the last few stars dash through the sky, his hand patting against Template's clothed chest.

"Close..."
