"hi." i say as i walk over to him. "hi." he said as he stared up at the sunset. "pretty, ain't it?" i nod. "looks like gold." he said.
we both sat down on the cement craning our necks up to the sky.
"it's funny,, ain't it?" i said. "what's funny?" he said as we both continued looking up at the sky. "soon this will all be enveloped into darkness, we'll all be envelope in darkness." i said gingerly. "what 'bout the moon and the stars?" he said. "sometimes they ain't so bright." i said huskily. we stayed silent as we watched the sky carefully.
"ya know what else is funny?" he said bluntly. "hm?" i said. "this is almost the only time we can look at the sky without our eyes gettin' burnt." he smiled. "yeah." i said,, smiling as well. we stayed silent once again,, the gold started disappearing,, and the midnight sky started to envelope us. "too bad we can't watch the sunset forever." i said,, sighing. "tomorrow has to come." he said softly,, he seemed to be sad.
the stars started to peek out and we started to sit up,, dusting the dirt off our bottoms,, i started to turn around until he tapped me on the shoulder. "ay,, look! the moon's bright tonight." we looked at the moon with smiles. "so it is." i said. we stayed silent,, admiring the beauty. "we should get inside." he said. i nodded. "it's gettin' colder." he said looking at me. "wish we could stare at this longer." i murmured. "whats that.?" he said. "nothin'" i replied as we walked off to our small home.
(this might be a scene for one of my longer stories!! :)) )

Sunsets are endlessly inspirational, and so too is the night sky, as you said! Looking up at the stars, discussing life, makes for a decidedly sweet and tranquil moment between characters. I like the simplicity of this scene.
By the way, I think "envelop" might be the word you're looking for ("elope" means to get spontaneously hitched).
yep, and thanks!! i'll make sure to edit it and keep that in mind :)
