I must have fallen asleep while watching youtube. I thought as I rubbed my eyes. Now where did that sound come from? I stood up and heard it again.

I look towards my window and I see small acorns hitting my window.

What the hell!

when I reach my window I look down and i see

Oliver.

I open my window and whisper-shout. "What are you doing?!"

He gives me a sheepish grin. And gestures for me to come down. I almost laugh out loud. Why would I ever do that. I shake my head no and start closing the window.

"Please."

I look down at him once again. I'm gonna regret this. I signal that I'll be down in a minute. When I got outside I realized that it was dark, like really dark outside. How long did I sleep for?

"Are you mad at me?" He looks at me, it's hard to see his eyes and face in the dark but I can make out his features, he seems sad.

"You called me outside to ask if I was mad at you?"

He nodded slowly.

"Well if i wasn't mad at you earlier i am certainly mad at you now."

He laughs. Like an actual laugh. Filled with joy and emotions of happiness. I look at him dumbfounded.

"So you're not mad at me?"

"No, why would I be mad at you?"

He looked at the ground. "Because you've been ignoring me," he raised his head and I don't know what he saw but his features became grim. I hadn't really realized how bad he might actually feel about this. I only thought it was going to hurt him a little bit, I mean he is a Libra they move on fast after all. But he didn't look like he had moved on, he looked like he still had feelings for me, like he looked like he loved me. But how could he love me? He didn't even know me.

"I know this is stupid but I'm going to say it anyways. I love you and before you say anything I don't know how or why. I barely know you yet whenever i'm near you i feel safe and comfortable like i'm home. Like you're my home. The first time I saw you, time completely stopped for me and I didn't know that could happen. I understand that this is super inappropriate here but where i came from you know we got to be with whoever we wanted to be. And I keep dreaming about you, I keep seeing you and I keep hearing your voice." His cheeks were probably red and flustered.

I was in shock. His confession had surprised me a bit. "I'm sorry" His words seemed strange until he took my chin in his hand and kissed me.

Although I was surprised I melted into the kiss. It seemed right. It felt like...Home? Feeling his soft lips against mine felt indescribable. It was like I was doing one of the few things I was supposed to do in life. He enclosed me in his arms and my hands looped around his neck.

"Sorry," he sighed after we parted. I could now see him properly thanks to our close proximity. His eyes were soft, gleaming and shining. Like gems that had found new life. His cheeks were rosy as I assume mine were too. I grinned widely and whispered "It's okay. It's more than okay."

He rested his forehead against mine and we stayed like that for a long time, well until our legs got tired.

"Shit, What if someone saw?" Realization hit me like a bolder.

"Who could see in this darkness? Houdini?" Oliver laughed. I guess he was right.

Soon we're sitting on the grass, hiding behind a huge tree in my family garden. Talking about our feelings. Comparing the situations we'd both experienced since he arrived here. We laughed a lot too. Talking with him made me realize that our zodiacs don't really define us as much as i thought. I always knew we weren't just our zodiacs but the more i got to know him the more I learned that people don't fit together because of their zodiacs all the time but based on the person's individual personality and heart.

Zodiac influence has been proven by science but even science can have taboos sometimes, and maybe Oliver and I were taboos. Falling in love with people not from our compatibility chart.

I guess I fell in love with him. Now I know I did.

"We can't be together?"

His eyes sank and he looked sad "Why?"

"Because it's against the law, they might kill us for getting 'radical' ideas." I said quickly trying to show that I wanted to be with him just that we couldn't because of where we were living.

He rests his head against the tree and I put my head in his lap, determined to enjoy this moment for as long as I can.

"We could run away." Said Oliver.
