With each passing day, you seemed closer in these moments. First you sat next to each other, the second your little fingers met, the third you were already holding hands and now, she already had her head against your shoulder. Closeness was normal in girl friendships, right?

Starlight has always liked stars. That night, you started talking about them and somehow got to the topic of "fate". Well, it was random, but that's normal when you talk to someone you really like.

"Do you believe in that story about the Red String of Fate?" she asked, turning her face towards you, her head still against your shoulder. "Because I think it's something that connects us, doesn't it?"

Damn. Was that really what she meant? You weren't supposed to feel these things. You weren't supposed to feel this way about a girl. But being with Starlight like this, so close to her, felt so right.
