She's Made of Outer Space

And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place

“The people I love.” He murmured, tapping his fingers against the table. Kaio wasn’t the best with reading situations and emotions. His teeth grazed along his bottom lip before getting up, moving back to the other side of the booth. “Well… don’t let me stop you, i guess.”

Delia frowned, shaking her head at his remark. “ Don’t, ” she remarked softly, getting up. “ You made your move six months ago. You don’t get to say things you don’t mean anymore. ” She sighed, looking over her a shoulder a moment before back at the dark haired male. “ I’ll see you around I guess, ” she stated with a half-smile before heading over to the counter to order her milkshake.

Kaio was a bit surprise at her push. “I know but it still doesn’t mean we can’t comfort each other.” He proposed, resting his back against the booth cushion. Kaio moved his thigh away from hers, maybe touch wasn’t the smartest idea right now.

Delia arched a brow at him. “ Do you comfort most people that way ? ” she questioned, not really wanting to know the answer. She shook her head, sighing as she glanced out the window. “ I should probably just go. Still wanna get that milkshake and I’ve got a joint in my back pocket waiting for me. ”

Kaio walked over to the couch and sat down, one of the last pieces of furniture in the tiny apartment, his hands fell into his lap as his eyes searched for hers. “I can’t. Delia, I want it to involve you. Of course I want it to involve my soulmate but i’m a city guy and you’re the opposite of that. Theres no point in one of us being miserable.”

Delia couldn’t help the tears, and she was quick to try to hide them, hands flying up to wipe away their presence. “ So being here with me makes you miserable, ” she stated flatly, doing her best not to let her voice shake as her heart broke. “ Then obviously I’m not your soulmate, Kai. "

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Well it’s not to late.” The male said, grabbing her arm and placing it around his shoulder. Kaio rested his head on her shoulder, pressing a sweet kiss against her neck. 

Delia was pretty sure that if there was a list of things to not let your ex-boyfriend get away with, neck kissing would be at the very least number five. “ Kai, we’re not together, ” she reminded him gently, pausing a moment before pulling away from him a bit.

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Yeah I have to.” He said lowly, his eyes wandering around the apartment- everywhere but her eyes. As much as Kaio wanted to make eye contact right now, he knew he couldn’t. “Just… spend this last day with me.” He told the girl, tilting his head to the side. “I know i’ve been back and forth about leaving but I can’t pursue my dreams in the little town… even if I don’t know what I want to do but I know I won’t find it here.”

Delia shook her head, running her hand through her hair anxiously. “ I just- I thought you’d stay, ” she stated softly, eyes downcast. “ I thought that whatever you wanted to do would involve me somehow. ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

Kaio always had issues with relationships, always making him feel like it was his fault on why it ended. He’d probably never admit it to most but it did hurt him, making him a little more wary on who he dated. Nevertheless, the time he spent with Delia were the best days of his life. He didn’t know he could find someone that he could get along with this well and share deep conversations on a normal basis instead of it being rare and awkward. His eyes wandered around his apartment, seeing how empty it had actually looked. “The reverse actually. I’m packing everything up, i’m moving to Los Angeles.”

Delia felt her heart drop, and she swallowed, pushing some curls behind her ear to no avail; more just fell into her face. “ So you’re really leaving, ” she stated, voice barely edging over a whisper. The leaving me didn’t need to be said. In retrospect, she should’ve seen it coming. Good people leave you. It’s the bad people who want to stick around. She swallowed hard and she could’t hold back the tears. “ I just-I don’t know if I can watch this, Kai, ” she managed to get out.

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

Kaios thigh subconsciously moved closer to hers, gently pressing his against hers. He always had to be touching people for comfort, he didn’t mean to do it all the time but it was just something. The male ran his hand through the girls hair, leaning in pressing a kiss against her head. 

Delia forced a laugh, hand going to wipe away any tears that threatened to break past her rock hard exterior. “ I’m the one that’s supposed to be comforting you ; not the other way around, ” she mumbled, looking up at him with a tight smile.

Los Angeles, though his parents disapproved of a career in the arts field he had to do what felt right to him. He had no official plan but he knew he wanted be there - he needed to be there. Whether he wanted to be actor, a stunt double or some type of youtuber. Los Angeles was where everything was. As much as he wanted to be there, a part of him didn’t want to leave Delia so he invited her over for one last time before he left. Kaio knew that the girl didn’t take him seriously since he was always changing his mind about it but this was the time now. His apartment was half empty from packing everything up into his car. Once he heard the knock, he went over to the door and opened it for the girl. “hey babe.”

@delxalien

Delia didn’t have the best track record with people. In fact, that track record was one whose contents ended with Del having a count number of abandonment issues and trouble keeping more serious relationships. Of course, she was ever the optimist and there were always exceptions to the rules. Kaio was one of them. Six months had probably been the longest relationship she’d managed to have, and the fact that he’d come to Moon Valley of all places filled the tall girl with hope. However, in that particular moment of the door swinging open and the appearance of the apartment, a sort of dread filled her stomach, but she pushed it out of her mind. “ Hey, ” she greeted back, stepping into the apartment and swallowing. “ Are you still unpacking or something? ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Oh no I definitely am. I might even shit myself but anything for you.” Kaio shrugged. It was true, he probably shit himself. All those things made Kaio paranoid, overthinking about the bad things that could be happening. “Yeah I guess…” He sighed, tilting his head to the side. “Even if I don’t know the reason just yet.”

Delia shrugged, fiddling with her fingers. She had a bad habit of chipping away at whatever nail polish was coated on her fingernails when she was nervous. Today was no exception, and the sparkly black polish was about to come off. “ Sometimes we never know the reason, ” she said in a quiet voice, mind drifting off towards her mom. “ and sometimes that’s okay. just because we don’t know doesn’t mean there’s more than the answer out there, y’know? ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“I’ll bring you to one of those haunted hotels.” He shrugged. As Delia continued to speak, trying to reassure him with her words. It was something that made him fall in love with the girl faster, not everyone he had met had a way with words and a positive message like she did. Not a lot of girls understood his struggles and anxiety. Kaio got up, moving over to sit next to the girl. The male turned to look at her, staying silent. “I missed you so much. you know that.”

“ Not gonna get spooked by the ghosts? ” Del questioned with a brow arch, a soft smile playing at her lips. She was a bit surprised when he presence was suddenly directly next to her, but she didn’t make a move, looking over at him as he spoke and swallowing hard as she listened. “ I know. I-I missed you, too, ” she admitted, looking down at the tabletop. “ but everything happens for a reason, right ? ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“I know, imagine me. I had to wake up to that for a while.” He smiled. “Maybe… if you’re down for it. I think you’d like it. Ya know the beach, the city. Just a little trip. Bookstore? So you’re ready weird shit 24/7 and working your conspiracy theories to customers.” Kaio paused as his eyes averted down to his lap. “I don’t know. I kinda lost interest, it’s hard and scary trying to figure out what you want to do with your life. I just don’t want to be some loser that doesn’t do anything.”

Delia laughed, running a hand through her curls. “ Says Mr. Bedhead Extraordinaire, ” she quipped back, already feeling completely at ease with Kaio. “ Maybe. Just can’t imagine a place like that having anything to offer a girl like me. And of course. The customers love it. They find me to be absolutely charming. ” The last part was mostly a lie. Really, they didn’t get many customers. And the ones they did were either completely nuts themselves or thought she was. But, those were details Kaio didn’t necessarily need to know. “ Hey, not knowing is okay, ” Del reassured, frowning as she resisted the urge to reach over and put a hand on the other’s arm. “ You’re not some loser that doesn’t do anything. Losers give up and call it a day and make due working some shitty nine to five job. You’re still actively trying to figure out life and that’s more than okay, y’know? Giving up is what would really be lame. ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Horrifying. I mean have you seen a mirror. Even scarier then the truth.” Kaio chuckled with a wide smile across his lips. “No not every weekend, just once in a while… Maybe you’d want to come. I know you’re not a city person but it could be a nice vacation.” he shrugged. “What have you been up too?”

“ Looking in the mirror first thing in the morning is definitely pretty scary, “ Del joked before arching a brow and smiling. “ Kaio; are you inviting me to vacation with you? ” Her tone quickly from teasing to nonchalant as she shrugged. What had she been doing? “ Honestly? Not much. I work at this little bookstore, live in a small studio, and I guess I've made a few friends. What about you? You had all these amazing aspirations.. ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Fuck no, you know that shit would give me nightmares and theres no one to comfort me when I do have em.” He pouted as he crossed his arms across his chest playfully. “Its cheap and it’s not too too far from Los Angeles. a 5-6 hour drive if I really wanna go back.”

Delia laughed, shaking her head in amusement. “ The truth can be pretty scary, “ she teased before arching a brow. “ Five to six hours is quite a drive. I take it you’re not going to be commuting there on weekends or anything like that. ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

“Yeah yeah. You know i’ve always been kinda scared to dig deep in all your little conspiracy theories and that shit.” He commented before pointing to the empty seat across from him. “Nah c’mon sit down… Maybe catch up if you’re up to it.” Kaio said with a friendly smile.

Delia paused a moment before sliding into the booth across from him. “ So, did you decide to delve in deeper into my ideas? ” she teased with a warm smile. “ or what brings you to Moon Valley of all places ? It’s a pretty random place to end up. ”

[delxalien]

kaiobt:

The male put his hands together, nervously rubbing them together as his eyes were focused on the girl. It was hard for him to even think about what to say while she was here, all their memories were still flowing through his mind. “Yep. Los Angeles isn’t the best place to be when you don’t know what you want to do. The rent was way to expensive so I ended up moving here.” He replied. “I mean it’s pretty self explanatory why you’re here.”

If Delia had been a different girl, she would’ve made a snarky remark and went on her way. But, Del wasn’t one to turn to meanness. Even if what had happened between herself and the other had ended and left her stinging and heartbroken. Mostly because she knew the other must’ve felt some of the pain as well. “ Yeah, I’m chasing a different kind of star. Y’know there’s definitely something going on in Area 57, ” she remarked before clearing her throat. “ Anyways, I came here for a milkshake, so I’m just gonna go get one and be on my way. ”

kaiobt:

Kaio tried his best to balance the spoon but was thrown off at the familiar voice, instantly letting go of the utensil. His eyes shot down to the spoon then to the source of the voice. “Well that is my name last time I checked.” He said, following with a nervous chuckle. The last thing Kaio wanted to do was make it awkward between them but he genuinely didn’t expect to see her here… or anytime soon.

Delia blinked, a bit thrown off by the interaction so far. Yet, she had been the one to initiate it, so she wasn’t going to allow the bizarreness of the situation get to her. Still, she was at a loss for words. It seemed like there were about a million things she could choose to say or bring up. “ You’re in Moon Valley. Not Los Angeles, ” she blurted without really stopping to think. So much for not letting the situation get to her.
