The Stars, The Moon, and The Sky Closed

Azzy watched the stars, remembering an old story that ran in the Faire family.

Azrael smiled at the memory, as they practically were able to hear their mother telling them the story once more. "Just once more..." Azzy whispered into the cool night air, able to see their own breath. They shivered slightly, pulling the gold and red blanket their mom had knitted for them around their shoulders. They smiled, remembering what their mom had told them. 'No matter your house, we will always love you. You're our little one after all. And that won't change. Besides maybe you will meet a cute girl~ Or boy~ And make new friends as well!' Friends. That was one thing they didn't have much of and they knew it. But that was fine with them. If people dared not approach them, they need not worry about first impressions. Sure there was Jessicah. But she barely spoke to Azzy. They looked up, realizing that the stars were bright. It was January. Aquarius was shining. They raised their hand and traced out a faint Aquarius symbol. They smiled and took out their sketchbook, they always had it in their satchel. They began sketching the night sky. Every once in a while, they looked up, just to appreciate the sky's beauty. They had memorized their schedule so that after dinner they could spend time up here by themselves. Kinda like their secret spot. They enjoyed it though, being able to think without people being around. They felt like the old woman in the story. Sitting with the stars, the moon, and the sky so maybe they wouldn't feel as lonely as they did. They smiled at the thought. They were just like the old woman, avoiding their problems so maybe, just maybe they wouldn't have to deal with them. But that was ok, they always had the stars, the moon, and the sky to listen.
