"you say you wanna chase the moon like fire, well together we can fake our own death here"

"alex why are you here?" you rubbed your eyes, extremely confused and half asleep as to why your classmate was outside your window.
"i cant sleep" he sighed, looking down and kicking at the grass "will you sneak out with me?"
you poked your head outside of your window, laughing. "this is so cliche, alex"
you looked down at him again as he was silently waiting for your official answer. you felt bad and didn't want to leave him alone, but you were also afraid of getting caught by your strict parents.
"fuck it." you sighed, "let me get dressed, ok? wait there"
you hurriedly turned and rushed to your closet, finding something to wear and quickly fixing your bed head in the mirror. your room was barely illuminated, but you tried your best to look as best as you could even without being able to see what you looked like.
you poked your head through the window again, being met with that same cute face waiting patiently outside your home. "im gonna jump down okay??" you yelled, cautious of being too loud so you wouldn't get caught.
"ill catch you!!" he held out his arms, smiling big.
you jumped from your window which, surprisingly, isn't too far from the ground. you landed on your feet, yet alex was there to hold on your shoulder to make sure you didn't topple over
the cool summer breeze washed over your body, as you took a deep inhale of the humid air. everything was quiet and peaceful, streets empty, lampposts and nearby shops being the only source of light.
your hands were instantly drawn to each others, intertwining fingers the moment you landed on the damp grass and caught your balance. you looked up at him and smiled, knowing you were safe with him at such a late time at night.
with his free hand, he pointed at a convenience shop across the street. "do you wanna go get snacks?" he smiled and looked down at you
"sure" you agreed, as you two began treading on the sidewalk. every once in a while you'd look up at his soft face that was lit up by the yellow-tinted lights above you. he seemed so focused on the destination, yet you were still so focused on your hand being in his.
-
"ummm.." you became embarrassed "i didn't bring any money"
"don't worry, what do you want?" he motioned towards the shelves of snacks with his chin.
you looked up at him and smiled, before reaching over, grabbing a bar of chocolate and putting it in the basket.
you two began searching around the empty store a bit, before he split up with you and let go of your hand to look at the drinks isle. you frowned in response, but realized he probably didn't think anything of you two holding hands as much as you did.
