POV- You, Him, the terrace and it's 2 am

"The view is heavenly. It's the most beautiful view I've ever seen."

"Ok. Let's go there, then."

I climbed up the spiral stairs that started at the end of the corridor. He followed me all the way silently. I had forgotten how the stairs continued incessantly. My legs were starting to ache by the time we reached halfway. His footsteps still seemed energetic.

We reached the end of the stairs in about ten minutes. I was huffing by then. But the cold air hitting on my face was worth the exhaustion. I paused at the door to take in my surroundings, while he moved past me to grace the view with his sight.

"Damn", I heard him exhale slowly.

"Didn't like it?"

"More than liked it. It's splendid."

I smiled to myself and walked towards him. The air rustled his hair making him look more beautiful. He suddenly grabbed my arm and took me towards the edge. I barely managed to stop him.

"What the hell?"

"Let's sit down here."

"No! Are you mad? Wait. What am I even asking? You are mad. But I didn't know you want me to die so young", I answered with annoyance.

"Stop being dramatic", he rolled his eyes.

"You'll not fall down. You're not a 10 year old ffs."

"Just look at the height. The view is amazing, I know. That doesn't mean I want it to swallow me."

"Come on . It will feel amazing. Trust me." He asked me softly, "Please?"

The look in his eyes and his faint smile melted my heart. Damn. I hate this guy! I peeked down to look at our distance from the ground. The beautiful scenery gave a serene and eerie feeling at the same time. But if I was careful, hopefully I'll not feature the newspapers tomorrow.

"Ok", I swallowed.

"Thank youuu!" He smiled.

The view was mesmerizing. The sky shinned with stars as this part of the city was not prone to pollution. The hills looked majestic covered with stardust. The crescent moon glowed inordinately as if envying the stars' radiance. On looking down, a dense forest could be seen. The silhouette of trees spreading as far as one could see. The cold wind blowing was still the best part, though. The atmosphere emanated a feeling of serenity. Calm and peaceful, as if the nature too needed calm after the ceaseless chaos.

All in all, beautiful.

I looked to my left to see her sitting on the edge, with her legs crossed. She looked ethereal in white.

The wind teased her hair, as it touched her kohl lined eyes. She pushed the strand of her hair behind her ear. Her black eyes looked alluring as they shined with light. They looked calm and a little scared simultaneously. A tranquil smile rested on her blush lips. She looked...breathtakingly beautiful.

The infinite stars shining brightly, could not compete with the moon's lustre. Just how, the aesthetic scenery held no match to her beauty.

She gradually looked down to see the height we were at, and swallowed at the sight.

My stomach did somersaults as I looked down. I turned to look at him, with fear in my eyes. He looked back at me with an understanding expression. His left hand reached out to my right hand. His long fingers slowly slipped through my small ones, as he locked our hands. His touch sent shivers down my spine. His eyes bore into mine, as if searching for something.

He smiled tenderly as he said, "Trust me. I won't let you fall."

How could I possibly fall more than I already have?

All I can think of rn is the song - Mainu ishq tera lae dooba😩❤️
