*I don't know why freckles is a common theme in my work, but lmao let's go with it*

"Have you ever wondered how many stars are in the sky?"

Typical Justin, I can't help but think.

He's always focused on everything the world has to offer: the wheres, the whys, and the hows that create the universe.

But my universe is much smaller.

My universe is me, him, and perhaps a rose or two.

"I don't know, I'm sure it's nearly infinite."

Justin sighs, "I wish I could count them, Mason. Every last one. Know what I mean?"

"You know, I really don't", I giggle, "I tend to focus on what's in front of me."

The wind picks up, and I pull him closer to me on the roof of his mom's car. He nuzzles his nose into the crook of my neck. I immediately feel his warmth.

I break the silence, "Besides, why would I bother counting the stars in the sky, when I could count the freckles on your nose?"

His lips spread into a soft smile. I can't help, but to tilt his chin back and kiss the softness.

Justin breaks away and looks me deeply into the eyes.

"27. I have 27 freckles on my nose."

Typical Justin, I can't help but think.

He never fails to make my heart flutter.
