caleb had dragged you onto a airship.

when you two were younger he had made a promise, that he would take you to see the stars up close.

you had forgotten all about it, until he had texted you a cryptic message.

meet me at the academy at midnight.

you had assumed he had wanted to talk, maybe sneak in and steal back some of his awards from the cabinet. but no, he had been all suited up for a flight, a twinkle in his violet eyes.

now you were aboard an aircraft, watching as he manned it higher into the clouds, until-

when he heard you gasp, he smirked.

it was, admittedly, quite the sight. he remembered his first time, seeing the white clouds spread out below, looking like fluff.

the moonlight cast an almost blue hue on everything, a splash of colors amongst the glittering stars. this high up even the galaxies were visible in the sky.

“i told you it was worth it,” he mused, putting the plane ainto autopilot so that he could relax in the rather spacey cockpit, glancing at where you sat in the seat beside his.

you were focused on the view. he was focused on you.
