[prompt name - star crossed lovers!]
"you're staring," march whispers into your ear.
"you are," stelle says in your other ear.
you look over at caelus, pleading him with your eyes to save you. he simply chuckled at the two other female members of the express, teasing you. oh he'll sooo join them later.
standing before you and the other express members, was a guy called sunday, the head of the oak family and the person who runs this place, next to him was his sister, robin, a well known idol here in penacony.
he carried himself with grace, his smile never meeting his eyes but genuinely fake to welcome people into the planet. you can't help but blush when he offered his hand for you to shake, shakily taking it as he gave you a satisfying shake, a firm hold and a smile as a package deal.
to the others, you looked so cute trying to hide your growing blush and the way your chest seemed to heave faster every time he steps a little closer to you. does he noticed too?
"girl, calm yourself down!" caelus laughed, throwing his hand over his mouth to sniffle his noises down.
"you've got a crush on him!" comes march.
"how can you say that, when you're practically glowing red!" stelle chimes in.
you deadpan, huffing at your fellow crew. even if you did develop a little crush on the bird man, you can't have him. he's sunday, head of the oak tree. you're... you, a nameless, wandering planet to planets with maybe little to no goals for yourself. you're a nobody.
"it's not like I can have him," you mumble out quietly, they didn't hear that except for a certain dragon.
fast forward when business ended at penacony, you met new faces, witnessed your beloved changing to some aeon looking thing, defeated him together with the others, the expedition was like no other- annoying but fun. sooner or later sunday decides to board the express.
"it's a decision I can't make alone," mr welt had said, bringing the lost sunday to the huddle.
they looked at you, before turning their gaze back on the newly added face. caelus gently nudged you, you hear march and stele giggling with himeko right next to you, dan heng remains himself. calm and composed.
the outcome was easy, sunday gets to board the astral express, not because you're in love with him and everyone knows, he's simply just like them... a little?
"he's our roommate!" both caelus and stelle cheered, grabbing sunday arms, one arm in each of their hands as they tugged him along before you could say anything.
"jealous?" march snickers, pink dusted your cheeks.
you pout, dan heng for the first time smiled at your misery crush. you glared at him when you notice the little tug at his lips.
"you can show him around after they're done helping him settle in their room," dan heng says.
and you do, sunday follows you like a lost chick, trying his hardest to remember everything.
"it's fine, you can always ask if you're not sure. they're all friendly."
life settled in a new rhythm.
sunday learned how to make coffee after three failed attempts.
march dragged him into photos whether he liked it or not.
caelus and stelle convinced him to join movie and game nights.
himeko smiled everytime he laughs.
he smiled more, his smile reached his eyes. he looked lighter and more... free.
no one brought up penacony, it was kinder that way. he was just sunday, a nameless and a member of the astral express.
movie nights was a weekly tradition.
caelus and stelle had insisted everyone to cram into their room because the television was 'strategically positioned'.
"it literally isn't," march replied.
you settled onto the couch just as caelus flopped beside you.
"you literally did that to yourself."
you bump him back harder.
he frantically clutched his chest.
"I've been betrayed." laughter filled the room.
another playful shove from caelus sent you sideways. for the briefest moment, you had accidentally bumped shoulders with sunday.
your heart skipped a beat.
you immediately shifted back to your own space, mumbling out an apology.
then you turn back to caelus, elbowing him again.
but he barely registered anything from the movie. one thought quietly settled in his mind.
over the following weeks...
he never stopped noticing.
you let stelle suprise tickle attack you. you hugged march after every mission without hesitation. you linked arms with himeko while shopping. you'd hold onto dan heng's sleeve when he's walking ahead too quickly. you'll fist bump mr welt after repairing an engine component together. even pom pom occasionally received head pats from you.
when you stand next to sunday, you always left the smallest distance. enough that your sleeves never brushed. enough that your hands never meet. enough that- somehow...
he missed contact that had never existed. he shouldn't be bothered by that, he tells himself. it was all harmless. he never considered himself as a jealous man. he envied yes, but jealousy?
movie night ended around midnight. everyone slowly filtered out of the room.
"im going to bed," march yawned dramatically.
"hmm... it was spiritually longer."
"I'll see everyone tomorrow, goodnight."
one by one, everyone disappeared down the hallway. sunday lingered by the door.
"goodnight..." he watched as you walked to your room.
only when your door finally click shut, did he return.
caelus didn't even look up from the game console in his hands.
"you've been standing there for like... three minutes," stelle raised three fingers in triumph.
"you didn't even know what I was going to ask."
"I do. you have a crush."
sunday nearly dropped one of the cups he was picking up.
"you've got that look..."
"like you're trying to solve the meaning of life," stelle giggles poking his furrowed eyebrows and stealing the cup in his hand.
sunday excused himself before the twins could ask anything more. the joke had unfortunately landed wrongly.
the next morning sunday had found himself helping dan heng organised supplies in the archive car. neither spoke for several minutes.
"you're thinking too much."
"no," dan heng continued sorting out the files, "I simply guessed."
sunday sighed once more before continuing.
"am I truly that transparent?"
sunday hesitated, his fingers rested on the edge of a crate.
"... have you ever noticed..." he paused, searching for the right words.
"...that y/n is rather comfortable around everyone else... but me?"
dan heng tilts his head at the question.
"I don't think that's true."
he coughed into his fist.
"she hugs march, link arms with himeko, bumps shoulders and laugh with the twins so naturally, she fist bumps mr welt and pats pom pom's head... and sometimes holds onto your sleeve. she never initiated physical contact with me."
"you're not jealous of me, are you?" sunday glares at his fellow crew mate. dan heng stops.
"sorry... but I think you misunderstood."
it happened over the next few days. dan heng never points it out, he simply let sunday see.
march threw herself around your shoulders after returning from shopping. you laughed and hugged her back.
caelus leaned dramatically against you after he finished his training. you shoved him away with a grin.
mr welt offered a celebratory fist bump after you helped fix a navigation error, to which you immediately accept.
dan heng reached for a box on a high shelf. you lightly caught his sleeve.
"you're going to make it fall."
then sunday entered the room, you smiled. he walked over to take the box from dan heng. you took a step back.
as he puts the box away, you were about to leave reaching for the handle. sunday was also reaching for the handle. you pull away quickly.
"um, you first." not because you minded.
because you always treated him differently, like touching him required permission. like somewhere in your heart, he was like a noble man.
"oh I was just holding the door for you, I still have things to do here." you step out, waving him goodbye.
"do you see it now?" comes dan heng's voice.
"she's not avoiding you... she's just careful."
"people aren't careful around someone who makes them uncomfortable," a pause.
"they're careful around someone who matters."
that sentence followed sunday for days.
someone who matters, could it truly be that simple?
a week later, the express had returned to belobog.
nothing urgent, just to visit, shop for a few supplies and an excuse for march and the twins to drag everyone to the snow.
"look!" she pointed at the frozen lake.
"it's exactly like the last time!" the twins shout.
"it's the same lake." dan heng replied.
snow falls gently in the city, you were walking around the city with sunday following behind you. just the two of you.
"it is," sunday replied. like you...
you looked back, snow had caught into his hair.
"it suits you," you laugh, pointing at his head.
he chuckles, gently shaking the snow out of his hair.
just as you turn to continue walking, your boot had caught onto something, making you fall forward before you could fall, you reached for anything- anyone.
before you knew it, you had accidentally grabbed onto sunday's arm hard.
you felt him wrap his other hand around you, hoisting you up.
"so-sorry!" you put both your hands up, taking two steps away from him.
"I'm sorry," you look away, not daring to meet his eyes. you feel your cheeks flaring, it's definitely the cold. the hammer of your chests bangs even harder than before, it must be the cold!
"it's fine, you know. if you're scared of slipping in the snow, you could just hold my hand." he offers his hand out.
how could you say no? he grabs yours without waiting for your answer. he tugs you closer to him with your intertwined fingers. this time your shoulder does brush against his, sometimes.
it's nice. the once head of the oak family sunday whom you never could reach because he's way too out of your league, now walks right next to you as a fellow nameless. the stars have finally crossed and he's finally closer to you.
