In the Astronomy Tower, Luna leaned against Vizet's chest and lowered her head to play with her necklace. She stroked the pendant, with its shifting, hazy starlight, unable to hide her smile.
Vizet looked down at Luna. Seeing how happy she was made his heart soften.
As far as he was concerned, anything was worth doing if it made Luna happy.
He blinked, as though something had occurred to him. "Do you like it?"
"Of course I do!" Luna answered without hesitation. The pendant's shimmering starlight couldn't hold her attention nearly as well as Vizet's voice.
She raised her head and pecked the corner of his mouth. "Whatever it is, if it comes from you, I'll love it!"
Looking at Luna's cheeks, Vizet couldn't help himself. He bent down and kissed her collarbone.
"I must taste funny, right?" The tickle at her neck made Luna giggle and draw back slightly. "We just ran all the way up here!"
"But whatever it is..." Vizet blinked. "If it comes from you, I'll love it!"
He held Luna closer and brushed his lips over her collarbone. He kissed his way up her fair neck to her flushed ear, then drew her soft earlobe into his mouth and savored it.
His warm breath left Luna weak, as though she might melt. She could only nestle closer against him and let that heat envelop her little by little.
The shy sky drew the night over itself like a curtain. Only the twinkling stars watched the two of them nestled together.
They never ran out of things to talk about. From the stars to Pygmy Puffs, from the depths of night to sunrise, there was always more to say.
Even when they said nothing at all and simply gazed at each other, time seemed to pass
