[ Yuri looks over at Shu and then tilts her head up to see the shooting stars. There's really a difference of seeing them through a screen and seeing them yourself, even if they feel so equally distant. The hug on his arm is a little looser than before, but she still has it in her clutches. Hers now. ]
[ tag this in the middle of our execution suffering. ]
... [ pff. ] That'd be a pretty crappy end to our stargazing. But nah. It's all closer. When you see them on planet, you know they're so far away you almost can't comprehend it.
It doesn't feel like that when you're literally in space too.
Isn't wishing supposed to have something to do with whether you believe in what you're wishing for? Sounds like that's something easy enough to believe in.
Only on believing them so they come true, if you believe in what the family movies tell you.
[ a dream is a wish your heart makes, yuri.
he listens and he lets her squeeze his arm before he dips his head to bump her shoulder, where he won't touch skin to skin. she can't see him smile from here, but he is. ]
That so?
[ imagine if that was all he said. they really don't have much to hold onto here, with everything the way it is. but this? it feels like something worth holding onto here. if they can get through it all. ]
[ Yuri wants to hold onto it for as long as she can. She wants to keep it with her forever. This feeling that she has now... it's worth it. She know that she won't regret this, no matter what happens.
Everything sucks around them, but right now, in this very moment, she's happy. ]
It feels so strange that I can finally... say something like that into the air.
You've never been able to? [ or wanted to? although if he really thinks about it, he's not been in a position like this in. well. a very long time. feeling comfortable enough with the idea of telling someone he likes them -- it doesn't matter if he thinks about what he does back home and how he could die and leave someone behind, when he knows how much that can break a person.
they both could, here. so... the opposite, wanting to grab the little things that make them happy. that's important here. ]
Having a relationship like this in The City with the nature of everything, especially in the Backstreets, is usually a laughable idea. People die all the time. You never know when they'll just leave or die. I definitely couldn't even think of having one in my situation either.
[ So the fact that she can do this now, it feels... refreshing. Relieving. She really likes that feeling and sometimes she feels that she can't get enough of it. ]
[ it's not necessarily too different to here, though but-- there's no stigma of being from a fallen wing. and it's nice that they've both made it this far, despite everything. ]
But now you're not going back to The City, so you're free to do whatever you want.

[ Her voice trails off. ]
... Never mind.
[ Because only some of them are alive. Not everyone is. ]

[ after a moment, he nudges her with his elbow. it's clothed. ]
Look.
[ shooting stars. ]
no subject
It's... so pretty.
no subject
Mm. Different seeing it in knowing we're in space, but-- [ nice to actually see them without the light pollution of a big city too. ] Still pretty.
no subject
[ She figures this is the actual difference between seeing it on a video and seeing it "in person". ]
But why is that? Are you thinking that a shooting star might crash into us?
no subject
... [ pff. ] That'd be a pretty crappy end to our stargazing. But nah. It's all closer. When you see them on planet, you know they're so far away you almost can't comprehend it.

[ ... ]
... I suppose that's because I wouldn't expect there to be a park in space either.
no subject
[ they're in a park in space on a murdership watching shooting stars. it's up there on his list of things that he didn't expect to be doing, ever. ]
no subject
[ Yuri smiles. Shooting star date. She's here to soak up as much affection as she can, even if she's feeling weird at the moment. ]
no subject
Is that your suggestion to just stop thinking, then?
no subject
[ Like the trial. ]
no subject
[ you are ignoring me. i see.
no subject
It's good to have breaks, but humor me for a moment, Shu. Would you make a wish on a shooting star?
no subject
... Right, that's a thing isn't it. Maybe? I've not really had a lot to wish for. What about you? Do you want to?
no subject
[ looks at the trial. looks at execution. lmfao ]
no subject
[ HAHA. HA. haaaaaaaaaa. ]
no subject
[ Yuri laughs a little and smiles fondly at him. ]
... I never got to say it, and I don't know if this should be something so obvious, but... I like you, Shu.
[ The arm will get squeezed for a moment. ]
I like you a lot.

So I'll keep doing my best with everything... and hope that it's enough.
