"...Can I help you?" I muttered, looking to my computer screens and furiously typing notes.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqVpvr99zry

"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. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwueJyycPAA

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. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAd2rsbWpxFR

"I thought you liked medicine? Don't you?" He asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5lERUQN6VR

"Eh. It's kinda overrated." I chuckled. "Anywho, where are we sailing today, captain?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgHWOsw6TZl

"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAeKwahVJQXf

"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAB9caLC62dQ

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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAvz9vfvJtoy

George was casually extended across the couch, but bolted to his feet as soon as I met his awed glance.876Please respect copyright.PENANAyvg1NX6q8r

"No worries, hun. You look beautiful either way." He gushed, eyes twinkling.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2fEGSooIKF
"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!"876Please respect copyright.PENANAxtBQXpBvcT

George had insisted I keep my eyes shut. He may know a lot about me, but he never knew the wrath of my impatience. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAt2n2MoTOJJ
876Please respect copyright.PENANAaHc2TsfgDQ
"Please... let me open my eyes!" I whined, dragging my words. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWAwTBL1as8
876Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1qLd8f0uS
"No! Please don't..." He replied, with the same childlike tone. I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or not. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAMPBP6NqsJL

I heard the car engine come to an abrupt stop, as George got out of the car.876Please respect copyright.PENANAJtWkPdOVUr
876Please respect copyright.PENANAVAbUcRba2q
"Keep your eyes shut!" He yelled from outside. He made his way around the car to my side, and opened the door.876Please respect copyright.PENANAphRMKciJMB

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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAxo25cXMNQ8

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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqCYd8W84Aa

"George? Is this illegal?" I asked worriedly. I completely forgot to ask him, knowingly what a little devil he could be sometimes.876Please respect copyright.PENANAJYI09y97qG

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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAPwKWXoUErA

It was a ferris wheel. We had travelled to the pier.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7XWxf0Ns0s

"Oh George, this is medi- m-magical." I silently chuckle at my small speech blunder. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWIfYu0ahqC

"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAAdO1sCOQur
876Please respect copyright.PENANAhince1uBn3
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAaOo49zI4RC

We paid the ticketmaster and settled into our carriage. No one else cared to sit with us, which wasn't a problem at all.876Please respect copyright.PENANAByhFGPUr7E
876Please respect copyright.PENANAAV3Sn5cFAY
He reached for my hand, squeezing it gently.876Please respect copyright.PENANAHpkaZTCIEt

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.876Please respect copyright.PENANApw6VQVZniJ

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."
