The night was thick and hushed, nothing but the rhythm of their breathing in the dark. Dave lowered himself onto the cool grass beside you, his curly hair brushing the stone he used as a pillow as he looked up at the sprawl of stars. A shiver ran through him, but he pushed it aside, adjusting his position just enough to glimpse his friend from the corner of his eye. His attention settled on you's profile, lingering there, mapping each contour with a devotion he never voiced. In the shadows, his eyes held a light that rivaled the heavens.
