This one is my birthday gift for the beautiful Chloé. I hope you enjoy it honey, i know it's short, forgive me *hugs you tightly*

A week has passed since the war ended. Things were quietly settling at camp and everyone tried to move on from the nightmares they had all lived inside that mountain.

Abby was still on bed rest, Jackson is surprised she didn't protest as much as he expected her too, he guessed she understood the gravity of her injuries, still she couldn't wait to get back to their new life here on Earth, but above all she couldn't wait to be able to walk without needing help.

Marcus stays with her most of the time trying to keep her from sneaking out of medical without someone to help her, he keeps her company, he brings her food and often sleeps in the cot next to hers. Jackson swears he would have never imagined in a million years that he would have seen something like this, he knew they got closer since they had landed on the ground but he couldn't suspect they had grown that closer. Jackson is pretty sure she had never seen Abby this at ease with someone since Jake and he's happy for her, even if sometimes he wished it was him instead of Kane but he couldn't allow himself to have those thoughts. Abby needed someone to look after her and she found that someone in Kane and he was okay with that or at least he tried to be. Kane showed him how much he have changed, he showed that to everyone, now people respected him and loved him. Well, Jackson wasn't sure if everyone loved him but he was damn sure Abby did.

Marcus enters medical with a small plate of meat that Bellamy and the kids had haunted that morning.

"Hey, thought i'd bring you something to eat, it's late and you refused to eat this morning"

He says smiling.

"I wasn't hungry"

Abby says while slowly limping towards him.

"Careful there"

"It's okay"

"How are you feeling?"

"Im fine, i just wish Clarke was here"

"I know"

"I guess i really have to get used to idea of not having her around, don't i?"

She says with a small laugh.

"She'll be back soon, she'll miss this place, she'll miss her people, she'll miss you"

"I hope you're right Marcus.. even if hoping seems useless around here"

"Who are you and what have you done to Abby Griffin?"

He says smiling trying to lighten the situation.

"I guess she got used to the ground"

"Everyone did"

"Yeah…. Listen i don't really wanna stay here right now, i'm starting to hate this place"

"Okay you hating medical? Now i'm worried"

She laughs at this.

"Let's go eat outside, i wanna watch the stars"

"Okay but only if you let me help you"

"Fine"

Marcus puts his arm around her to hold her while she slowly starts walking.

They go sitting on some rocks near the lake. They eat their meals in silence just enjoying each other's company and the quite that reigned at camp only at that time of night.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

She says while staring at the night sky

"It is… You'd think we would have gotten tired of seeing stars by now"

He says smiling.

"Never, nothing could ever be more beautiful"

She says dreamingly remembering all the times she had dreamed of watching the stars from the ground as a kid, and here she was, looking at them in all their beauty.

Marcus tears his eyes off of the stars to look at her and he thinks of one thing he's staring at that it's even more beautiful than stars but he doesn't dare to voice his thoughts.

"I prefer the view from here, don't you agree? It makes them even more intriguing: so near yet still so far away and so out of reach"

Her voice distracts him from his thoughts and he moves back to watch the sky.

"You're right"

- A few minutes later -

Abby couldn't believe her eyes. A shooting star. She has never seen one before yet she had read how people used to make wishes upon shooting stars.

"A shooting star! Look! Quick, make a wish and don't say it out loud or it won't come true"

"What?"

He barely sees the shooting star.

"Just do it"

"Okay"

Abby closes her eyes and Marcus does the same expressing his wish.

Abby then tries to move from her sitting position but her wounded leg deceives her and makes her land a few inches from Marcus.

"Hey, you okay?"

He says barely registering their closeness.

"Yeah yeah"

She says while sitting back down, this time way closer to him than before, Marcus helps her and finds himself only a few inches from her. They look at each other for a few moments that seem like a lifetime then Marcus decides to get it over with and damn the consequences. He closes the gap and Abby not surprised at all finds herself returning the kiss. Their kiss is slow yet passionate, full of promises and time wasted. Marcus moves away from her slowly looking in her eyes while breathing heavily.

None of them can talk, they don't know what to say, their looks meaning more than any words.

Abby is the one breaking the silence, trying to act like nothing happened.

"So..."

She clears her voice.

"...Do you believe in shooting stars?"

He gazes into her eyes while bringing her face closer to him again, gently stroking her cheek.

"Now i do"
