"Not important," he mumbled as he put his hands behind his head again, glad for the dark night as it hid the flush that he was certain was spreading across his face.

"Seems like it to me.." she couldn't see his face but she sighed and rolled onto her back looking up at the stars, her finger moving to trace the lines. She reached over and took his hand, "Look... can you see it.... draw the lines.." she showed him-- trying to draw his attention away from his thoughts.

He let her guide his hand through the constellations in the sky. The jittery feeling in his stomach slowly calmed as he looked up at the stars. Suddenly, he could see the lines between. "I see it!" he said, amazed. "Christ, that's incredible."

"When I was a little girl-- I would lay on the roof a the cottage in the village... always lookin' up at the stars at night. Gran told me that.. every star has a story-- some have more'n one.." She didn't let go of his hand, held his large one in her tiny one. "How many names they give the north star--- an' why they call her that. The sailors had some a the best tales about the stars... an' monsters... I could listen all day."

With a soft laugh, Pie nodded. "I know what you mean," he said quietly as his eyes drifted to their hands joined against the backdrop of the stars.

She smiled and let her eyes close, "At least in stories ya know how things go sometimes-- when things are supposed ta happen. Real life... ya can' always count on the hero winnin'.. or even bein' a good person. Bad guys win sometimes.."

"But sometimes real life can surprise you. Things you don't expect to happen can happen, maybe not always for the better, but at least it keeps you on your toes," he replied, still lazily moving their hands across the sky to each constellation, tracing their shapes.

that made her grin, letting him move their hands over the stars, opening her own to watch the patterns. "Like I said... magic in real life... it's in the tiny things... touching, smelling... a starlight night with someone you're fond of..." Her voice drifted just a hair... a blush to her cheeks.

He turned to look at her, leaving their hands up in the air, watching her as his heart felt like it was rising up into his throat. He couldn't hold it in any longer -- he felt completely crazy. Maybe it was the stars, or the lilt of her voice, or...something. Pie rolled slightly, propping up on one elbow, and kissed her, his lips touching hers.

So that's what they meant when they told stories about kisses that were important, it wasn't just the brush of lips... why it meant all that it did. But the conveying of a feeling and a strong one. She could feel it, and responded-- she felt it too. Crazy as it all was.... but she'd been taught that crazy feelings like that were the best ones.

He pulled back to look down at her, surprised at himself. His mouth tingled where he'd kissed her. "I'm sorry," he said in almost a whisper, though he didn't feel too terribly sorry about kissing her.

"Don't be," she murmured, her stomach had butterflies-- is that what was supposed to happen. Happy skittery butterflies. "Unless ya won't do that again.."

He laughed quietly, grinning down at her a little crookedly. "You didn't mind it?" he asked.

He breathed a laugh and slowly sat up, watching her in the darkness. "I didn't really expect this," he said.
