[ stars ] — sender and receiver lay under the stars together
From Fraaaaaanky for Iselda 💖
from: meme. / @mugennoiro verse: main.
the soft croaking of frogs sound in the shrubbery and trees lining the clearing, lightning bugs flitting to and fro above them, joining the twinkling illumination of the stars. the grass tickles the back of her legs, feels the longer blades brush against the shell of her ears and her cheeks. it was peaceful and quiet, reminiscent to her of nights spent on the deck of the modest ship her and her mother would travel on, laid out looking up at the stars, learning about constellations and the things that lie beyond.
it was nice now to be sharing a moment like this with someone special.
arm extends outwards, index finger pointed -- "that one is orion's belt." then, she points out another cluster, describing its formation. after a couple beats of quiet, she tells him about her mother ... about their nights staring up at the stars, the nights she remembers so vividly like it happened just last week.
her arms lies next to her again, fingers grasping a fistful of grass. then, his hand encompasses hers, easing the tension in her fist. she breathes out, steady and somewhat shaky. scooting closer, her head tucks against franky's arm. "let's stay out here. we can go back to the ship tomorrow."
