[Elle's totally alone in the woods. Yes, completely alone, not planning on meeting anybody. Definitely not that nerdy counselor. It's not like she has a very very secret, though admittedly huge, crush on him. No, the hunky lifeguard is the only adult she's interested in.

Now if only any of those things were actually true.]

"Gemini, actually." [He motions again to the constellation they were just looking at.] "My 'twins' are an 'L'. It's like looking at clouds, the imagination needed."

"Oh, right, clouds." [She hasn't looked at clouds and imagined shapes since she was a little kid, and it seems like she doesn't really remember how.

She looks back over at Cancer.] "If... that's the body..." [she gestures to a sort of rectangle-ish shape,] "then maybe those are the claws." [She points at two other stars that could form lines of the rectange-ish thing.] "I can kinda see it."

[His smile wavers at the questioning tone in her voice, realizing that she hasn't done such a thing for too long. He has heard rumors of what her dad is like and kind of hates the man, though he would never tell her that. When she begins to create her own constellations, he smiles again and doesn't tell her that part of her crab is actually Leo.]

"There you go! Now, find an elephant. Make one, like connecting the dots."

"Ummm..." [Elle points to a sort of trapezoid shape.] "That could be the body..." [And then to a couple stars coming off the trapezoid.] "And those could be the trunk." [She pointed to another star a short way above the 'body,' laughing softly.] "Maybe that's an ear."

[Gabriel smiles, thinking she's just turned Hercules into an elephant. He appreciates her enthusiasm if nothing else; it's adorable.]

"What should we name it? We'll have to pass it down through the generations." [There's a small laugh accompanying the idea, then an awkward shift as he realizes what could be interpreted from what he's said.] "I mean, tell it to other people.. not our kids. That we don't have."

"What's that elephant in those kids books?" [Elle vaguely remembers reading something with an elephant when she was little, but it was a long time ago and she doesn't know what it was called.

She fidgets awkwardly when he mentions the kids they don't have. She's only seventeen, but if she's going to have kids somewhere down the line... it'll probably be with Gabriel. He's the nicest guy she knows, anyway.] "Right. Other people."

[There's an awkward pause where Gabriel stops rubbing her arm and looks around at the woods, paranoid that it's the perfect moment for someone else to eavesdrop. After a slight clearing of the throat, he offers the answer to her initial question.] "Horton?"

[He swallows and resumes his subtle affection, hoping she'll pretend that never happened.]

"Yeah, I think so." [She turns onto her side and curls up against him, planting a quick kiss on his cheek.]

[Gabriel slides his hand from her shoulder to her waist just to pull her closer to him, ensuring he wraps the blanket more tightly around them as well. He glances sideways at her with the same wide, sincere smile.]

"We have our very own constellation. Horton, the elephant." [His tone suggests it's the most rare and magical gift they might receive.] "You and I, Elle.. In spite of everything. We're really pretty good together."

"Yeah, we are," [she agrees, smiling at him. She pushes herself up so she's at eye-level with him and kisses him, slowly.]

[Gabriel kisses her back, using the arm around her to help support her against him. Unlike the greedy kisses of before, now he's settled back to an even level and every move is entirely romantic. He kisses her again, softly and slowly. He releases her fingers from his other hand to wrap the opposite side around her waist, his hands holding to each other to help support her rather than trying to feel her at all.]

[Elle wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back, arching her back to press herself against him. One of her feet nudged between his shins.]

[Gabriel shifted awkwardly to allow her whatever access she wanted. His hands separated to different portions of her back, still working to hold her against him. He broke the kiss for a moment, wanting to prevent the romance from fading.]

"I love you, Elle." [It wasn't the first time he had said it, but the only time where he was entirely solemn and sincere about the sentiment.]

[Elle looks down when he says that, taken a little aback by it.] "I... I love you too." [She bites her lip and raises her eyebrows at him, as though to ask where they go from here.]

[He pulls her into a firm hug, trying to show her that it doesn't make any difference. When he pulls away, his head tilts to kiss her with a tenderness he hopes she's never experienced before and his body presses into hers a hint more to offer her a warmth and comfort that he feels like is all he has to give.]

[Elle squeaks in surprise and hugs him back, grinning from ear to ear like a total idiot. When he kisses her, she rolls over on top of him, pulling the blanket around them and tucking her arms in against his sides.]

[Gabriel lays back flat with Elle on top of him, the blanket encompassing them and his arms still wrapped around her. He gives her a smile as endearingly large as her own.]

"You're beautiful."

"I know," [she responds, oh-so-modest. She brushes her fingers through his hair, then strokes his jaw down to his chin before leaning in to kiss him again.]

[He doesn't care. That charm is what makes her Elle. Gabriel moans quietly at her touch, as though trying to stifle it out of embarrassment, then presses his lips to hers again with a smile on his lips.]
