"there are so many stars around, but only you are my sun." you thought at every timid, fleeting glance at ajax. it lasted literally a second, no more, because he burned like a real sun in the blue sky. he shone so brightly, eclipsing everything and everyone else around with his glow. you were madly afraid of being burned by its bright rays and didn't dare to keep your eyes on him. suddenly he finds out? understand? he will burn with its fiery heat your heart trembling in a small body, like a red-hot core inside the planet.
fate is written in constellations. your constellation was the deer constellation. and the brightest star in your constellation was aldebaran, the star under which you were born. you dreamed of distant planets, of bright galaxies in the vast space, of stars. and there was one star next to you. little ginger boy with a lovely smile on his face. he was your sun.
you and ajax were inseparable. but you lived by the stars and dreamed of studying at the faculty of astronomy. oh how many tears were shed, when you told him, that you were leaving at sumeru. and that was the starting point. this is why you lost your most beloved star in the universe.
beautiful golden haired traveler became a black hole, that forever dragged your star into its abysses. he was your first love, and remained your love even, when you left snezhnaya and went to the sumeru's academy.
you have long understood, that this is gravity. an inexorable, merciless force in its capabilities, acting in all the studied and unknown limits of the universe. the most powerful attraction to each other of two space objects. and it seems, that your cold planet, drifting alone in the vast expanses of the universe, has finally found its star. so bright and impossibly hot, warming with its fire blazing on its surface. you were drawn to him unrealistically strongly, as if one larger star was attracting a small, weak star to itself, merging together in a bright, crazy dance of light. love for astronomy has played a cruel joke with you.
you knew – yours and his constellations were never connected, and aldebaran was forever doomed to burn alone.
"what will you do, when she leaves?" you asked, swallowing an unpleasant lump in your throat.
"i'll follow her anywhere."
and you knew, he would do it. a selfish thought swarmed inside your head.
but why didn't you follow me, when i left?
lumine was the celestial body, that you hated. she, like a powerful, big star, pulled your sun along with her, taking with her the hope for a bright, flaming and ardent love. now gravity seemed to you an insanely cruel and merciless force. dark matter swallowed you headlong, dragging you into the depths of sharp and merciless despair, as if forever blocking your access to such a warm and dear sun.
she didn't have a constellation. so why were their fates intertwined? it hurt and was at odds with all the astronomical knowledge you had received.
ajax was the sun, lumine was the moon. and together they created a solar eclipse. the moon, bordered by the rays of the sun, so mercilessly blocked your path to your sun – the solar eclipse shone with a beautiful halo of light in the dark sky, leaving your planet alone to be covered with ice and cry with eternal rains.
