Logan Sanders had always loved the stars.
When he needed to calm down or when he was done with his work or even if he just wanted to, Logan would study the stars. The precise and complex science and math needed to understand them fascinated him. The fact that humans are made from the exact same things as the stars? The fact that the Universe is infinite, meaning there is so much and always will be so much to explore? How stars are born and how they die? The fact that sometimes, even after their ‘death,’ they still exist? It was all beautiful and fascinating and Logan couldn’t get enough. The fact that the Sun, the same one that heats up the Earth and gives humans light, is itself just a medium sized star? Logan was amazed, and curious, and loved it.
When he studied the stars, he learned more. Their habits and patterns became predictable and understandable. The stars never let him down, they were calming to look at, and they were beautiful. Sometimes they seemed cold and far away, but that only enticed Logan more. He loved finding new stars, charting them, and observing how they interacted with each other. He loved drawing the galaxies, and connecting stars to see the constellations. It was focused and relaxing and calming and intriguing to Logan all at once. Logan Sanders had always loved the stars, and he knew he always would.
Roman Sanders had always loved the stars.
When he wasn’t busy slaying dragons, he loved to take a picnic blanket, lie down on a field away from his castle and any of the villages in his Kingdom. He would look up at the sky, smiling at the summer constellations in the sky. Roman knew most of the sciencey stuff behind it, but he didn’t really care about it all that much. He loved the way that, in the inky blackness of the Universe around their tiny planet, little prinpicks of light would show up. He loved the way they would seem to glow different colors, depending on how you looked at them.
Roman loved the romantic aspect of the stars. That could mean anything for Roman, though it usually meant kissing a Prince under the stars. Other times, though, he loved to be free. He would run out of his room in his castle, and would take his horse for a midnight ride. There was nothing quite as exhilarating for him, riding his horse around his kingdom in the middle of the night. He loved to ride right by the cliffs that led to the ocean, because there the stars glinted off the water and he could look up and enjoy the fact that he was alive and free in the vastness of everything. Other times, in the winter, Roman would take a sleigh, and ride through the snow. The snow wouldn’t be falling at these times, considering he wanted to see the stars, but sometimes Roman would allow snowflakes to fall gently on the way back to his castle. Roman Sanders had always loved the stars, and he knew he always would.
Yes, Logan and Roman had learned to love the stars separately. And they thought no one else felt the same way about these tiny objects as they did. Until one day, when Logan needed Roman.
Stars weren’t the only thing either Roman or Logan loved, after all.
So the Logical Side slipped into Roman’s room, intending on asking him a question. But what he saw was so much more.
Roman’s room led out into his castle, and the balcony doors were open. Logan stepped onto them, and watched as only one person moved. No one else was outside, but one person was running through the streets of the village below. Logan knew it had to be Roman, seeing as how he wasn’t in his room right now and the theater lights were off.
Logan ran out of Roman’s room, and down through the castle. He didn’t stop to appreciate any of the details, or to say hi to the people in the castle. He just ran out the doors and through the village, following Roman’s trail. He reached the stables, and saw Roman standing there.
“Hey, Logan. Needed something?” He asked, smiling brightly at the Logical Side.
“Yeah, I had a question - wait, aren’t you surprised to see me?” Logan asked, confused and slightly out of breath.
“Nah, I know when someone enters my Kingdom, and I know who it is. Plus I saw you on the balcony a few minutes ago.” The Creative Side smirked.
Logan smiled, blushing slightly at the smirk. “What were you doing?” Roman blushed this time.
“I was gonna take a midnight ride. I, uh… I enjoy looking at the stars sometimes.” Roman looked at Logan as he gasped.
“No way! Me too! Stars are soooo cool!!!” Logan spoke quickly, excited, before stopping himself and blushing. He knew he had a tendency to ramble when he got started on a topic he loved, and he didn’t want to bore his crush.
“They are though!” Roman seemed just as excited as Logan, making the Logical Side smile.
“So… if you like the stars, would you maybe like to come with me?” Roman offered his hand out to Logan after getting on his horse. Logan took it. Roman grabbed the reins and pulled gently, letting the horse know that they were ready.
Soon, they were out galloping in empty fields along the shoreline as the moon floated on the horizon of the ocean. Logan gasped at all the beauty in Roman’s world, in the summer night. But then he looked up, and Roman smiled.
Logan had only ever seen the stars from Thomas’ point of view, and what they were supposed to be. He had never seen them from a perfectly clear, natural way without any light pollution. And they were so much more beautiful than he had ever pictured.
Roman smiled at Logan’s face of pure wonder and excitement, glad to share this moment with his crush. Logan started pointing out the galaxies and constellations and the science behind all of it. Roman listened with an interested ear, loving the way Logan talked so passionately about the stars.
Roman would sometimes interject with his own knowledge, and Logan would always smile when he did. The two talked for ages, watching the sky together as the wind blew their hair back. They lived, and laughed, and smiled at each other.
A while later, the horse had slowed down, and they got off. Roman’s horse grazed the grass, while the two Sides stretched their legs.
“So, Logan, you never said what you had come in here to ask me.” Roman remembered suddenly. The Logical Side blushed.
“Well, I don’t know if you feel the same way, but… Roman. I like you. A lot. As in, romantically. And please know I hold no expectation, but I felt like I should tell you, because…” Just then, Logan was cut off by Roman holding his hand up.
“Logan Sanders, can I kiss you?” Roman asked. The Logical Side blushed even more, making him look like an adorable strawberry, as he nodded.
Roman smiled, kissing the Side he had had a crush on as well.
Their first kiss was slow and sweet, soft and curious. They pulled back after a little bit, smiling. Roman was blushing too, now.
“I like you too, Logan. Would you… would you like to be my boyfriend?” Roman blushed again, but it was an easier question to ask since he knew now they were both into each other.
“Yes, Roman, I would like that very much.” Logan smiled, and they kissed again.
Roman stood up when they broke away, pulling Logan up beside him. Logan giggled, making Roman giggle too.
“Lo, I can do a thing for you! Will you let me do a thing for you?” Roman asked excitedly. Logan smiled and nodded, still holding Roman’s hand.
Roman waved the hand that wasn’t occupied, shifting the night sky. Logan’s breath caught in his throat as he saw the stars move to form a heart, that was red and blue.
Logan and Roman kissed under the stars again, smiling at the start of something they would treasure forever. Just like the stars above.
