Eyes Up, Heart Open (Short Story Buzz Lightyear)

"Eyes up. Heart open. And whatever you do-don't fall in love with your commanding officer."
Too late.

Lyra Blaze never meant to break the rules.
She came to the Academy to prove herself - fierce, flirty, and determined to stand out.
Buzz Lightyear was never supposed to notice her.
He was discipline incarnate, forged from protocol and purpose.

But in the heat of battle, in the silence between stars, and behind closed doors, something ignited.
What began as a dangerous flirtation turned into a love powerful enough to challenge gravity itself.

Together, they pushed boundaries.
Together, they learned to hide.
And when the truth came to light - one of them had to make the ultimate choice.

Before the man became legend,
Before the mission that changed everything,
There was a girl who made him fall -
and a promise he never stopped carrying.

A story of slow-burn desire, impossible choices, and the kind of love that leaves a mark.
Even across the stars.
