mel santiago is the child of cosmos and sarcasm. she is the one, who's eyes light up when talking about carl sagan. her berkeley sweatshirt hugged her body as she is intently reading the pale dot, that he got for her. he. him. tom holland. the one, who makes her feel mushy inside and the fact that she doesn't want to admit. not even to her best friend, june (even though she knows). tom makes her heart flutter.

tom holland is the spiderman without the webs. he gets excited talking about being spiderman (he's spiderman, dude). or. the way he gets giddy and blush-worthy around talking about mel santiago. but the entirety of the marvel cinematic universe as the tendency to roast him about mel. yet, he knows deep down inside they care. back on topic, mel santiago, in his eyes, she is beautiful and an enigmatic person wrapped in constellations and galaxies.

tom holland and mel santiago. tom and mel. mel and tom. mom. the skinny love, that is the two of them. the ship that sails in the night, while stars in a infinite account above it. the thoughts on each other are that of deeper meanings and young love. nothing like nicholas sparks. yet, they are the story of a boy and a girl. who are very similar in ways, that are easy to comprehend. the love one has for career. mel with theoretical astrophysics and tom with acting. the innocence of the unknown, of having each other in the others lives. the friendship that came about with mel's best friend, june and tom's co-worker, sebastian.

they are the smell of coffee in the morning. the stargazing on a picnic blanket. the sound of kara making a twenty-seventh song about the two of them just talking on the couch. the amount of how much june and sebastian ship them together. the amount of times, they send memes to each other. they are an enigma, that are intertwined with each other in a moment of pure happiness and understanding. if they were gods, mel would be athena and tom would be hermes. they would probably rule over olympus better than some gods, would.

the younger brothers of tom, make fun of him for his crush on mel. yet, that doesn't stop him from what he has with mel, whatever that may be. he knows that there is a chance that they could be more than just what they are now. hopefully, she feels the same as him, because that could mean everything to him. everything. that maybe he's not alone on their journey with each other.

who knows what the future holds for the two, that of mel and tom. the scientist and the actor.

so I may actually do more one-shots from this series. one) because wendigos social media fics are amazing. two) it's been awhile since I've written any of this sort of thing in awhile. three) thank you for reading this, it means a lot and I hope you have an amazing day! 💜 Kate
