Nan had planned a beautiful surprise, but Vitor had shared with her his extreme fear of heights. Something very few knew. That made her doubt her plans were suited.
He sensed her insecurities kicking in and then it hit him why she reacted like she did when he told her he was afraid of heights.
Jovenan: You always make me happy, and I can’t even get things like this right. I just don’t know how to be in a relationship.
Vitor quickly grabbed her other hand, pulling her closer as he shook his head.
Silveira: No, no, no… Honey it’s awesome, it's the best surprise I could have asked for.
It's okay… Please…
Jovenan: ::sniff:: Are you sure? How can it be okay if you can’t enjoy it?
He gently pulled her closer.
Silveira: Nan… Honey. It’s gorgeous, it’s beautiful, almost as beautiful as you and… Look its a bit hard to explain but this… ::he looked around:: This is okay, I can deal with this. ::he looked down:: There’s no depth.. I only get scared when I see the bottom… And even if we were on the edge of a clif…
Nan wiped her face and smiled, but she also shook her head.
Jovenan: You don’t have to do this. But if you want to, all you have to do is jump. It’s okay if you don’t…
He smiled, let go of her hands, held her and with little balance jumped. They started floating, as if they were flying in space.
Silveira: I like it and I am okay. This is so beautiful.
She smiled, but Vitor felt she still had some concerns.
Jovenan: Promise to tell me if you want to go down? You might get some motion sickness later, even if the weightlessness is okay for you.
He nodded and winked.
Silveira: I will. But don’t worry, I passed with high marks on the EV suit training. It’s okay, really.
Nan nodded and gently pushed him. He move away as Nan moved as if she was dancing. Or swimming. His smile widened as she bent her upper body to the left and rolled her arms around spinning as in a pirouette that stopped, with her back towards him.
Jovenan: Computer, centre us.
Vitor followed her, stretching his arms to smooth the impact. He put his arms forward and gently leaned on her, like they had done when they were playing. But now they were flying.
And it was the best surprise she could have given him.
Jovenan: Still good?
He held her closer and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Silveira: Better than good.
Extending her right arm, she pointed at the small objects the holographic display made look distant.
Jovenan: That’s the Paulson Nebula, and the Celendi and the Azure are over there. The Genesis planet is near that star, and Galaris is, um, somewhere behind us. And that small star, between those two bright ones, that’s Sol.
He smiled as she showed him the stars. He always loved seeing them. And he lowered his voice, whispering in her ear.
Silveira: This is so beautiful. It's like we are flying in space.
Jovenan: We can go to any point in the galaxy, as long as we’ve got data of it. Where’d you want to see?
Vitor raised an eyebrow. Where would he like to go? What did he wish to see?
One thing came to mind, but now it was his turn to wonder if he should say it.
Silveira: I am curious about a place.
Jovenan: Response
He held her tightly and kissed her cheek, taking a deep breath. It felt nice to hold her like this. It was like they were both facing the future forward.
Obviously if there was any danger Vitor would put Nan behind him not in front.
But when they had such a marvel in front of them he loved holding her this way.
And it gave him strength to cross the challenges and not be afraid to talk.
They had spent way too much time with half words.
Silveira: I share the same concerns as you. I love you and don’t want to do anything that bothers you. But if you are comfortable I would like us to fly to your home world.
Jovenan: Response
He smiled and tugged her closer to him.
Silveira: I love you, I want to see where you came from, I want to share my secrets, fears and doubts. And I want to make you feel like you can share yours with me.
Jovenan: Response
