I was having an intense staring contest with my textbooks under a single dim glow of amber. I sat hunched over my desk reading, until I noticed George silently shuffling and slithering into the room and sat cross-legged on the mattress behind me.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJCjjVa0t0

"...Can I help you?" I muttered, looking to my computer screens and furiously typing notes.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUL797Guzo

"Uh, yeah." He paused. "I... uh, just wanted to head out, I guess." He ran his fingers through his black hair. He was attempting to speak nonchalantly, but by the constant fidgeting of his fingers and nervousness in his tone, the boy was certainly up to something. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTel3NWwPqQ

I decided not to question it, just in case. "Okay. I suppose one night wouldn't hurt." I declared, grinning up from my books. "Besides, medical studies low-key sucks." He raised his eyebrows in questioning surprise. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeToySivhK

"I thought you liked medicine? Don't you?" He asked.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbKr0FtoZ

"Eh. It's kinda overrated." I chuckled. "Anywho, where are we sailing today, captain?" I asked.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacuj7oG27V
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipfqNANPTX
"Yarr, I'm afraid I can't disclose that." George put on the best silly voice he could muster. "Be ready in about an hour, matey!" He beamed with a cheeky wink.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopakJnvK4B

"I wasn't sure on what the dress code was, captain." I giggled, stepping out of my room, which seemed like something I hadn't done in years. I strode into the living room, a thick, sleek ponytail swishing from my head of flowing hair that rippled to my hips like flowing water.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42jSGknpIZ

I had worn a lilac crop top embellished with little embroidered buds of flowers, and a high-waisted pair of ripped navy jeans. To complete the look, a set of cosmic-black Vans.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFbZCmWEJ

George was casually extended across the couch, but bolted to his feet as soon as I met his awed glance.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Nb57CdcW
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbvwE2PPEy
"No worries, hun. You look beautiful either way." He gushed, eyes twinkling.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhHo7Tabok
"You don't look too bad yourself, peach boy!" I beamed.
George had worn a well-loved, old pair of Jordans, simple black jeans, an oversized peach-pink shirt, and a white cap. He had a similar sort of Tumblr aesthetic style like my own. An extra bonus as to why I appreciated him even more."Well, now that we're ready, do lead the way!"1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkZoSloto

George had insisted I keep my eyes shut. He may know a lot about me, but he never knew the wrath of my impatience. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9MTcQx7p
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivKb3DPVi
"Please... let me open my eyes!" I whined, dragging my words. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vgIAGeXvq
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88UuiMwR45
"No! Please don't..." He replied, with the same childlike tone. I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or not. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLny2Zr6Ka
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK9awUOFlY
I heard the car engine come to an abrupt stop, as George got out of the car.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR0HXqqsNU
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy1esYn2TR
"Keep your eyes shut!" He yelled from outside. He made his way around the car to my side, and opened the door.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdfaP9Azm1

He took his soft hand into my own, and lead me out of the vehicle. He leaned in from behind, clasping his hand over my eyes for maximum security. I could feel his light giggly presence by me, like a gust of bubbles, as he guided me along the road.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB5nPAJBGs

The air was warm. The night was still young, and the sun had just set, meaning dusk had just about settled. So I had guessed. We kept walking for ages, before I suddenly felt a fresh smell of salt hit my senses immediately. At this point, I also felt my feet walking on wooden boards.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A0OnFGyG9

"George? Is this illegal?" I asked worriedly. I completely forgot to ask him, knowingly what a little devil he could be sometimes.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVciJmnLIXG

"Just relax. We're here anyway."1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6AQ6cTS1B

He and I stopped in our tracks.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGH1EMchK

"No."1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0DgZ83IbP

My sarcastic remark did not seem to affect him, as his hand flew from my eyes, and I was finally exposed to the wonderful sight in front of me.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7jYlhxbmJ
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg3VhGm0fZ
It was a ferris wheel. We had travelled to the pier.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCrqAjIFeo
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJZiqTL2ia
"Oh George, this is medi- m-magical." I silently chuckle at my small speech blunder. 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP13pldD0a
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74HUNz9LyD
"Oh my god. Did you seriously just say medical? Wow, being a medical student does suck." George groaned. There wastrue disappointment in his eyes, even beyond his tinted glasses.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4COYnWrG
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6N8MnucV9
"Come on!" He beckoned, grasping my wrist and jetting off with the speed of a bullet. The childlike wonder had returned once again, for real this time.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡursDFEq1YT

We paid the ticketmaster and settled into our carriage. No one else cared to sit with us, which wasn't a problem at all.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcBXoKftRb
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KPIkkF9m4
He reached for my hand, squeezing it gently.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8RyrnhH6R
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxDOFRKvnG
Like clockwork, did the ferris wheel's carriage begin it's steady flight into the sky. It were as if my hands acted as a magic button. It was a perfect cue.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZaAjnuxkC

We were both children at heart, which was what made this moment, this relationship, so delectable. Watching the sun dip it's body far into the horizon's waters; a biscuit into tea.
George hadn't let go of my hands. Instead, he pulled them closer.
"You know, I really, really love you." George played with my hands, looking down into my manicure. "Sounds cheesy as shit, but... I just need you to know that. I know uni sucks and all, but I want you to enjoy life too."
"I wouldn't miss such a moment like this for the world, George. No matter what. They're too fleeting, just like this one..."
I leaned into his face, feeling the warmth of his soft lips pressing deeply and sweetly against my own. He responded the same way immediately, truly impassioned.
We shared this moment ardently. I cherished it deep into my mental box of memories. George finally decided to pull away from my lips, yet still hadn't moved his hands that had caressed my arms so gently.
He leaned in once more, but closer to my ear.
"Guess that means no ice-cream, eh?"
I couldn't help but to laugh.
"I guess not. By the way, you totally taste like peaches." I smirked.
Finally had we reached atop of the wheel. But it was weird, I already felt myself soaring before I had even reached this point.
We dreamily gazed above. I looked to the skies, watching the rolls of clouds glide over our heads. They looked like misshapen white popcorn.
"One day, I'll own a cloud kingdom." I proclaimed.
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Are you just going to leave me here then?"
"Well, every kingdom does need a king, I suppose."
He chuckled fondly, and his glance softened in my direction.
"You're my queen, both above and below the skies. You'll always be."
