Summary
There’s a word for things that are star-shaped; cells throughout our bodies, sand dollars, the core of an apple sliced across its middle, and the stars themselves. So when you look at the night sky, and see the points of light we are so lucky to observe, know that someone decided that- despite it being so rarely seen- the shape of our stars was worth describing.
When William looks at Vyncent, he can feel what people felt when they decided to name the constellations after the things they knew and loved, or perhaps, feared. Every star-shaped cell inside William’s body was built to endure this ache, and he relishes in the glow-in-the-dark stars that watch their every move in Vyncent’s dorm, even as they fade with every passing hour. There’s something between them, and neither of them can deny it anymore. It’s something small, something blooming and radiating- something stellate.
