Distant Lights

i’Ve ABanDoNed mY BOy!!!

jk but sorry for not posting one of these for like uhhhhh over a month… here have some fluffy luberto stargayzing to make up for it <3

“Sorry, I know you’re not really interested in all this stuff…” Luca tore his gaze away from the vast expanse of glittering stars to face his infinitely more glorious lover.

Alberto blinked dumbly. “What? Of course I’m interested! I love hearing you talking about the stars and stuff.”

“Well, yeah, but do you really care about how the frequency of background radiation changes in proximity to black holes?”

Alberto squinted. “Uhhh…”

“That’s okay, I’m sure a lot of this is boring to you.”

“Yeeeah, some of it… but! But I really do like those stories!”

“…stories?”

“Yeah! The ones about the stars.”

“I’m still not following.”

“You know! With the fish and the twins and- oh! And that archer guy! And the big spaghetti pot in the sky!”

“Ohhh! Those stories! You mean the myths about constellations like Pisces, Gemini, Orion, and the Big Dipper.” Luca giggled to himself. Big spaghetti pot in the sky…

“Yes! That stuff’s super cool.”

“Huh. Yeah, I suppose you would like astrology. You practically came up with it on your own.”

“I did?”

“Well, the idea of it anyway. You made up stories about the stars, remember?”

“Oh. Yeah, I guess I did… heh, you should talk about me in your fancy college class. I deserve just as much credit as any of those old dead guys.”

“I do.”

“What!?”

“I do talk about you. I tell your anchovy story before I talk about any the Greek or Roman myths in the curriculum. I think I’m lucky to have such a personal connection with someone who saw the stars in the same way as any of the pillars of astrology did. Not just as distant lights, but as mysteries just waiting to be explored.”

“…”

“…’Beto?”

“…you’re such a nerd-” Alberto’s voice was wavering with emotion. He launched himself at Luca and smothered every inch of his face in teary kisses.
