Floating Away With You

Chapter 7- The Stars

(Tendous POV)~
(8 pm - the same day)-
"Mom! I'm gonna start getting tutored!!" I yelled from my room. I had made my own supper and practiced a few receives in the park. I kicked off my shoes and flung myself onto my bed. I had a grin on my face. It felt like it was impossible to take off.

(Y/N) is driving me crazy! She must think I'm such a coward, she's seen me cry way too many times and each time I see her I'm having a breakdown of sorts.
I had grabbed the volleyball and I started throwing it up in the air while I thought about her.

Her eyes and laugh. They're deadly. I giggled a bit to myself when I remembered the fact that I asked her to tutor me. I had actually done it! I'm so proud!

I felt myself dozing off with my lights still on and a smile still on my face. Today has been a good day.

(11:50 pm - that same day)-
I woke up to knocking on my front door. I didn't want my mom to wake up so I tiptoed down the stairs to the front door. I was wearing a loose white shirt that was a bit see-through and some big pyjama pants.
Rubbing my eyes I unlocked the front door and peaked my head through the crack.
"Hello?" My voice cracked. I'm not even sure it someone could hear me.

My eyes widened when (Y/N) was standing on the other side of the door with a shy smile on her face.
"One second. I'll just get my shoes on." I told her in a whisper with my finger up to signify "wait one sec".
I can't believe I'm sneaking out! Plus it's with (Y/N)! How exciting!
I was smiling to myself again while I sat down on the bottom step to put my shoes on.

The air outside was cold and fresh. It wasn't humid, it was perfect. The moonlight made (Y/N) beautiful. It reminded me of the first time we looked each other in the eye. Just thinking about it makes me go "Wow!"
We walked about a blocks distant from my house when I decided something.

That (Y/N) was home, and I wasn't going to let her pass by me.

I had only met her a few days ago, but these days have been the best days of my life.

Impulsively, I grabbed her hand.
"Are you ready?" I told her with a smile. Then I took off running with her hand in mine.
She was laughing.
I was too.

After 10 minutes of running, we made it to a special place I had made years ago. A place to be alone and relax.
It was an old arch looking thing I had covered in fairy lights beside the water. Trees surrounded it all and I had a bench set up. I used to spend more time here than I did my own house.
I stopped running and found the switch to turn on the lights. Blues and purples surrounded us.
I heard (Y/N) gasp beside me. I noticed her grip on my hand had tightened even though we stopped running. I didn't dare move it.

"Do you like it?"

"I LOVE it."

"Good."

Pulling on her hand, I led her to sit down on the bench with me. The stars were poking out from the trees on top of us. It was prettier with (Y/N) beside me.
Just seeing her looking up with pure curiosity, the fairy lights reflecting on her eyes making them sparkle, made my heart race.
"Um, so, why were you at my door?" We were still holding hands on the bench. I used my free hand in my sweater pocket.
"Well you see, I made you spill your drink on yourself, and I felt really bad! So i decided I would come over and clean it up for you." She was smiling, her eyes sparkling. She all of a sudden puts up her other hand, is if on display. A wet, cold hand cloth was just there in her hand.
"Is that a cloth?" I asked laughing. I took my hand out of my pocket and covered my mouth.
"Yes, yes it is." She answered proudly, now holding the cloth as if it were a dead rat.
We were both laughing. Then we looked up to the stars again. I could feel her hand tighten in mine.
"Do that again." She whispered, keeping her focus on the stars.
"Do what?" I asked, looking at her from the corner of my eye.
"Laugh Tendou." She said, finally looking at me.
"Why should I?" I asked, looking her back in the eye. We were facing each other with our hands intertwined between us, it was like a scene from a movie.
"You cover your mouth when you laugh." She answered seriously. I could see our breath in the air, like clouds.
"Why does that matter?" I asked her. Why would it matter? I don't even laugh enough for it to matter. Anytime I have laughed I was told not to. I shouldn't laugh.

"Just don't cover your mouth next time ok?" She whispered, looking back and forth from my eyes to my mouth. I was doing the same.
Her lips looked so soft. They were perfectly pink and gentle looking. They matched her cheeks.

I could feel her warm breath on my face. It felt nice and smelt fresh, like mint.
I could feel my hands start to shake. A second after, she squeezed our hands together. Our faces an inch apart.

I closed my eyes and pushed my lips against hers. A smile forming on our faces.

She was my home.
