there was this thing going around and about online. it was of the facial features someone had, each signifying what part of the solar system you were "kissed" by. freckles from the sun, dark under eyes from the moon, and birthmarks from mercury. something like that.

it didn't register to tadashi or yourself completely, but that aside, it described you two just about perfectly. him with his freckles and you with the subtle dark circles under your eyes. tadashi's never been the fondest of his freckles. not the biggest fan of them when he was younger, and that followed to now when he was a teenager.

he especially liked winter time or just the cold in general since lower temperatures seemed to "erase" his freckles temporarily. then came summertime when they'd show through again in the sunlight. despite all of that, you made him feel better about them. you never failed to let him know how much you admired that part of him.

and he did the same for you. you weren't the fondest of that tint under your eyes. tadashi noticed that. how he'd hang out with you and you'd have your phone camera to your face. he already knew which part your eyes were on. or how you stopped briefly around anything reflective, pressing a finger to your under eyes.

just like you, he never failed to let you know how pretty you are, even with that insecurity of yours. "i still think you're very pretty." he tells you, looking down at you in bed during one of your casual hangouts. "with or without them." tadashi adds.
