They both silently sit side by side enjoying each other company by the grass as they gaze up at the starry night sky above them. Oliver can see stars above twinkling and sparkling through the dark blue sky. The moon was shining ever so brightly at them from above. The sight of it was breathtaking to see. It was beautiful. The two of them always went out at this time to see the sky at night like this. Just the two of them together sitting side by side as they watch the sky silently.
But Oliver knows that that moment will have to come to an end. They have graduated high school, preparing to start a new chapter with their life. They have been accepted on the university that they have been aiming for. And that means he has to part away with him.
The thought of leaving him will always pain him. They have been together for so long. Together ever since they were born to this world. Introduced by their parents when they were just a baby. To think that after all this time. After all the memories they both have made. That everything will have to come to an end. Sure they can still contact each other. They can still talk when they visit their hometown together. But never once in the back of his mind he keeps having doubt on the many possibilities of what if.
What if they start to talk less? What if they barely meet each other? What if they just… stop talking one day.
That’s has been on the back of his mind ever since their graduation. The thought alone already terrified him but what if it become a reality? Does that mean everything they have created were for nothing? Just become a meaningless memories that will occupy his mind before they start to slowly fade away one day.
He doesn’t want that. He doesn’t want that to happen to them.
“Hey” a sound from beside him pulled him away from the thought as Oliver slowly turn to the source of the voice. They boy beside him is staring at him. His eyes shows concern toward him. Oliver can feel his hands reaching over his. Making a circular motion trying to soothe him. He has always been able to read him like an open book no matter how hard he tried to hide his feeling.
That what he always does best.
“I’m fine” Is what he always say to himself. That everything will be just fine for both of them. Or was it for him? He doesn’t know anymore.
“I know” The boy said, smiling softly at him not taking his hand away. “Everything will be fine” He tried to assure him. That is what he always been doing for a couple of weeks since their graduation.
“Will it?” He can’t help but to whisper.
“I know it will be” He said softly to him through the cold air around them.
“But what if it’s not?”
“Then I will make sure it will” Is the only response he gave.
He never failed to make him feel that everything will be alright. He was his sanctuary. A place where he can feel calm and relax.
God how lucky he was to have him.
“Hey” The boy once again tried to call him. Shifting closer to him. “You will always have me by your side, no matter how far we are from each other” He heard him say. “I will always be there for you”
God how lucky he was to have him.
Oliver just gave him a nod as both of them start to inch closer to each other. Their hand still intertwined between them. Their eyes back once again to the sky above them. Moon still shining so brightly above night sky illuminating everything below.
“The moon is beautiful isn’t it” The other boy said through the silence, admiring the night sky above.
Oliver can only stare at the sight of him. Thousand of words left unsaid.
I love you. Not matter what will happen to us, I will always love you.
But nothing was being said out loud. Thinking that it will be better to kept it to himself.
“It is...” He simply said, turning back to look at the sky once more. Even the time they have were short. But for now, he is going to enjoy the moment that he still has with him before the day they part away.
The moon is beautiful. But the sight of yours will always be more beautiful than everything.
