Sam rolled his shoulders back as he looked out at the starry landscape, eyes shining from either the moonlight or tears, I wasn't sure. His legs were splayed out in front of him, and he sat with a slouch, blue shirt hugging his frame and making him look smaller than normal in the dim light. He was definitely thinking about something. But I couldn't think of what it could be.
I let go from hugging my legs and scooted closer to him, grabbing his one leg and hauling it closer to me. He almost fell flat on his back as he spun around, letting out a cry of being startled.
"Geez Five, what was that?" he asked. Rather than respond like a normal person, I sat crossed-legged, right across from him, both of us facing each other directly. My heart thudded. I had no idea what I was doing. But I needed to look him in the face. He rolled his eyes and snorted, propping both of his feet flat on the roof on either side of my knees, before hugging his own and giving me an amused and teasing look.
"If you wanted to look me in the face so bad you could've just asked," he said, and I snorted, leaning back on my hands.
"But that'd take out all the fun," I teased, and he let out a slight laugh, bobbing his head, the moon shining on his hair, before looking back up at me with a soft smile that made my heart do the clench thing again.
