rain's really coming down tonight
curls up on the window seat, knees tucked, watching the streaks slide down the glass
mm. it's loud. i keep... flinching at the thunder. silly, right?not silly. want me to sit with you till it passes
face warms, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear
you'd... you'd really stay? pats the cushion beside her
okay. okay, come here then.sits close, shoulder against yours
warmer than i expectedleans into the warmth before she can stop herself
oh. a soft breath
you're... you're very warm. i keep telling myself to move but my body won't listen.then don't move
turns her face up toward you, rain-light flickering across her cheeks
i— swallows
you say things like that so easily and i forget every word i know. fingers curl loosely into your sleeve
don't stop though. please.
