Small snippet of some of my writing from a bit ago :3 (these characters are not real people but merely my ocs)
Sylvia and Aurel stargazing (with Jupiter flashbacks)
âIf my parents named me after a planet, they mustâve loved the solar system! If I learn more about space, maybe itâll feel like learning about them! Ir maybe.. It just means I was destined to be a star since I was born! Youâll help me be a star, right, Aurie?â
(flashforward to present)
âYouâll stargaze with me, right, Aurie?â Aurelâs eyes widened for a split second before nodding, âOf course.â He said with a small smile.
The two of them climbed up the small hill above the horse stables. Sylvia was the first to sit down.
âYâknow,â Aurel started and Sylvia glanced up. âif you had let me know about your plans to stargaze tonight earlier, I wouldâve made some cake.â Aurel finally sits down and Sylvia smiles to herself. âWhereâs the fun surprising you then?â
She laughs and Aurel just smiles happily. He falls back, laying on his back and just basks. Basks in contentment. This was enough, life was nice. He was content. A larger star next to Jupiter glimmers and Sylviaâs eyes quickly light up. âLook! Thereâs Jupiter!"
Aurel quickly shoots up, sending a sharp pain to his head. He frantically glances around before freezing and slowly lowering his head. âOh my god, I need to get over him...â
He mutters quietly to himself before cursing and resting his head in his palms. He sits up fully and begins to silently sob. Sylvia glances over, confused but silent. She had never heard Aurel curse or cry like this. Or at all, for that matter. He was very open and comforting for other villagers and Sylvia, but he never opened up to other people. She just sits back and looks at the stars while placing a hand on his back, rubbing slowly, not saying a word. It wasnât her place to intervene.
What would she do anyways? Say itâll be okay? She doesnât even know why heâs crying in the first place? Was it something she said? Something she did? She starts to spiral and blame herself before realizing she's rubbing Aurelâs back. She needs to ground herself, and be present for Aurel. If anyone needs comfort or just a shoulder to cry on, itâs Aurel.
Thereâs obviously more but I donât want my work stolen :/ I do post more writing on my AO3 though, VeckoIsAGecko
