she's made of stars
not like big balls of gases
but like shiny, pretty things

"Go! Catch the stick!" you yelled, throwing the stick far away from you, your dog chasing after it. Her tail wagged when she brought it back and you pet her lovingly on the head.

Suddenly a bigger dog jumps on your leg, throwing you off balance. It was like a big marshmallow just slammed into you. You fell to the ground and the dog started licking your face.

"No! Get off!" a voice calls. Then a guy with blue hair comes and pulls the dog off of you. "Sorry." He reached out his hand to help you up and you accepted it.

"It's alright," you said, "dogs will be dogs."

"I think our dogs like each other," he said, pointing at the two playing batting at each other. "Your dog is really cute. What's her name?"

"(dogs name). Your dog is really fluffy and soft," you giggled, ruffling the dogs long white fur.

"Her name is Chica. She's actually my friends dog, but I decided to take her for a walk today," he explained.

"My name is Y/N," you said, being friendly.

"I'm Ethan," he said, reaching to shake your hand. You obviously failed the handshake and you both laughed about it.

"Why are handshakes so awkward?" you complained.

"It's not entirely your fault. I shouldn't have initiated the handshake in the first place, knowing that it was gonna be awkward somehow," Ethan laughed.

"I should be going now. Nice meeting you, Ethan," you said, as you started walking away with (dogs name).

"Nice meeting you too. See you around," Ethan said, waving goodbye.

The next day you were giving your dog a walk again and went to the same park. You were taking a break, sitting on a bench, when someone sat next to you.

"Hello Ethan," you said, turning to see the blue haired boy.

"I was hoping you'd come back today because I didn't get your number yesterday," Ethan says, putting his arm on the back of the bench, behind your back.

"Wow. Smooth," you said, laughing a little and getting out your phone.

"Yeah, I know," he paused, "when I told my friends that I was gonna walk the dog again today they were all suspicious as to why I wanted to walk the dog two days in a row."

"Do you not like the dog or something?" you sarcastically asked, handing Ethan your phone to put in his number.

"I love Chica, but no one ever really has the time to take her for a proper walk..." he explained, typing his number into a new contact.

"Why? What do you do all day, if you don't mind me asking?" you said, looking at the name he entered. It said Ethan, with a blue heart and the dog emoji.

"You'll probably think my friends and I are crazy, but we're youtubers," he says, handing your phone back and giving you his.

"Youtubers? Like just making videos on YouTube?" you asked, adding your name and number and putting the heart eyes emoji next to your name.

"I mean yeah. There's a bit more to it then just sitting down and making a video, but I obviously don't have the time to explain everything," he took back his phone and laughed at your emoji of choice. "I didn't think we were at the point of heart eyes, but thanks anyway."

"You're welcome," you replied with a cheeky grin.

"I'll text you my channel name on YouTube later. Then maybe you could find out a little more about me and my friends." Ethan stood up and brushed off his pants for no reason.

"Alright. Text you later."
