Tragedy 274 - North Star

Leon pulled Elvina over to the spot and stood there.
"You prepared all this?" It was the sentence that first came out of his mouth after a while he was at a loss for words.
"Yes, that's it. Come on over here." Leon pulls Elvina and asks her to sit in the middle of a heart-shaped flower petal with a candle surrounding it.
There was already a pedestal for them to sit with some dishes that looked still warm.
Elvina and Leon sat in the middle, on a pedestal that was already available.
Elvina can only smile knotingly seeing Leon attempt to make her melt.
They sit next to each other. Leon gave her the food she had prepared beforehand.
"Eat."
Elvina. The two sat next to each other staring straight at the beautiful view of the starry night sky.
"The food is really good."
"You like it?"
"certain. Moreover, I think this is the most delicious than our last lunch and dinner, haha." He chuckles slowly.
"I'm glad to see you enjoying the food I'm giving you." Leon smiled knot.
"You too, eat. It's really good." Elvina went back to eating.
Leon took the part that Elvina was enjoying. "I'd rather we share the food, it's more romantic" he said slowly.
"By the way a beautiful night, huh? Moreover, the stars that shine there, make this night feel even more special." Leon looked at the starry sky.
"Yes, you're right." Elvina smiled. His attention suddenly shifted as cold air blew over his body.
Elvina hugged her own body. He began to get cold after spending a day in clothes that were not too thick, even he forgot to bring a warm coat.
Leon, who saw Elvina cold, took off his coat and put Elvina on it.
"I don't want you to get sick" he said slowly.
Elvina was silent with her mouth clenched, her eyes clashing with Leon who was now right near her.
Not long. He turned his face quickly as the thump of his heart blew away everything.
Elvina looked back at the night sky. "Did you know? Ever since I was a kid, I've loved seeing stars with Rei and William. We even chose one star that we then named, and marked as our star," Elvina said.
Leon. "really?"
"Yes, like the stars there. The brightest stars are located in the North and away from other stars. It was the North star Rei chose."
"Where did you know that it was the star he chose? Doesn't it all look the same?"
"No. They're all different, which makes the stars we choose because they have special-looking light." Elvina turned a glance before looking back at the stars in the sky.
"That North Star really looks like Rei. He is cold, like a pole. Its location, which is far from other stars and shines brightest, symbolizes Rei's attitude that never easily mingled with people and always created his own way of life, besides, behind his attitude like that, he always has a privilege that makes him different from others. A privilege that makes it special, and interesting."
Leon just kept quiet and listened, he stared at the star they were talking about. It is located in the northern part of the sky, and it shines brightest.
