Love is such a powerful force.

Astra never actually felt it with anyone before. She never knew what it felt like. She loved her family and friends, of course she did. She loved them with all her heart.

But this was a different feeling.

This love was nothing like the love she felt for her family and friends. She didn't know how to explain this love, but she knew that it was making her heart race.

With every beat of her heart, the feeling grew and grew.

She felt sick. She felt scared. But she liked the feeling. It wasn't a bad feeling. And most of all, she felt safe. She felt found.

She only knew Orson for a little bit, but the few weeks she knew him, she felt like she knew him her whole life. She didn't know it was possible to fall for someone when you've only known them for a few weeks.

But here she was, and she was falling.

Astra had never fallen in love before, and she didn't know what to do. She was scared. She was clueless. She didn't know what she was doing, or what she had to do.

She felt blind before. Not seeing what was right in front of her. But now she could see clearly.

Now she saw him.

They say love is blind, but does that mean Cupid is blind too? In other words, do people fall in love with random people? Or is love not blind, and deep down, we know exactly who our person is? Deep down, Cupid matches two people up who are meant to be together. Who he sees need each other.

We just need to find it. We're blind until we find it.

Astra was blind before, but she wasn't blind anymore. She could see him. She saw him so clearly, and she knew, deep down, she had found him.

He was right in front of her.

He had been the whole time.

And she finally saw him.

"Star." Orson said her name softly, and the way he was looking at her made her heart melt.

He was looking at her like she was the only thing he'd ever see, like he didn't see anything else, like he was looking at something for the first time and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and she got so lost in his eyes, looking at him, that she, in that moment, realized just what love actually felt like.

"Bear Cub." Astra said his name with the same soft tone he used, and he exhaled a breath she didn't even know he had been holding, reaching out to gently touch her cheek.

Astra immediately leaned her face into his hand, grabbing it with hers the second it was on her face.

"You're beautiful." Orson whispered.

I love you.

Astra couldn't say it, but she thought it. She wanted more than anything to tell him how much she loved him, but she knew she couldn't in that moment.

That was something she had to tell him later.

How could someone fall in love so quickly? She always thought it took months to years for that to happen, but maybe she was wrong. Maybe she really didn't know anything about love. Maybe she knew a lot less than she thought she did.

"I know." Astra teased him, and he immediately laughed.

Astra tightened her grip on his hand as she leaned forward more. Her eyes never left his, and something flashed through his for a second as his gaze went down to her lips before they were back on her eyes in less than a second.

"Bear Cub." She whispered.

"Star."

Oh god.

The way he said her name, the way he always said it, made butterflies flutter around in her stomach. She loved hearing him say her name, especially the name only he called her.

"Your eyes are beautiful." Astra smiled as Orson did. "You know, ever since seeing your eyes for the first time, brown has been my favorite color."

"Really?" Orson asked, his smile widening.

"Yes really." Astra's smile grew.

"Well, green has been mine ever since I first saw your eyes." Orson said.

"Really?" Astra said with a small giggle.

"Yes really."
