open starter - evander ( can be a platonic or romantic response ) inspired by: hunnie - locket || "you're the world in empty space / and all alone with you seems like a pretty nice place"
Evander was a fighter. Always has been, always will be. They were always on their toes - ready to protect, react, whatever the solution was to get out of the situation. He had always been on high alert, rarely allowing himself to relax completely. But something had changed; someone had broken through his defences, his solid demeanor, bit by bit, until he found himself in his current situation.
The Sagittarius was sat on the couch, in the dark, the TV flickering with some brightly coloured romcom - definitely not his first choice of movie. In his lap laid the other's head, their hand on his thigh, staring intently at the screen and taking in all the dialogue - although Evander was pretty sure they had said something about this being their favourite movie and having seen it 'at least a thousand times'.
His gaze turned to stare down at the other, scarred fingers gently combing through soft locks. When did he get here? When did the fighter's life get so peaceful? Evander felt them shifting to look up at him, their eyes meeting with a question. The Star didn't smile, no, but something did soften, just slightly, enough that the other's smile seemed to brighten slightly.
"No, you're good. I'm not bored. Lay back down, you said it was getting to the good part"
