AN: ily !! Thank you for 90k !!

I stood in the mirror, tugging at the form fitting dress as the taste of an anxious, disgusting nausea found its way to my tongue. Of course I was excited to be having dinner with Karl, it was just the fact that I knew that this dinner would be fancy that worried me. I allowed my mind to run wild, thoughts of all the possible outcomes of attending this dinner overwhelm me as a soft knock on my door frame pulled me from  mind and back into reality.

I looked up, at a loss of words as I stared at my lover, his hair messy as always but his usual grandpa sweater and jeans replaced with a white button up shirt, black trousers and a maroon cardigan that hung loosely off his body. I smile, feeling mildly underdressed, but nonetheless absolutely swooning at the sight

"You look- i- wow"
His cheeks flushed a bright pink and a nervous hand ran through his hair

"Beautiful, gorgeous, ethereal, perfect- shall i go on"
All I could do was lovingly laugh at his words, far too worried to use my words in fear of being a stuttering mess. He smiles and opens his arms, allowing me to slip into his embrace as he places warm kisses on my forehead, the feeling leaving butterflies fluttering all throughout my body

"Are ya ready to go hun?"

We walk out of the house hand in hand, the walk to whatever restaurant Karl had set a reservation for moved quickly and was accompanied by our out of tune singing and loving words. nausea had begun to stir in my stomach again, the feelings only worsening as we reached the doors and the boy pulled them open, the loud atmosphere nearly suffocating me

Karl quickly walked off to talk to the host, and suddenly we were off to our table, a perfect view of a nearby park and the swirling clouds above us from the small two seater table that had been reserved for us

"I know this isn't really your thing, but I wanted to bring you somewhere nice"
He sheepishly smiled, a hand resting on my thigh as we sat in the warm atmosphere, It felt like we were the only two people in the room,

"I don't mind hun, anytime spent with you is time well spent"
With a light kiss on the cheek we were bombarded with waiters taking our orders and bringing us our food, the clouds above us only growing thicker as the night continued, cool wind begins to howl through dusk, the two of us shivering, clearly not prepared for the storm

"I think it might rain soon- maybe we should get going"
He begins to stand and I follow shortly after, the two of us walk down the street in comfortable silence. Our footsteps fell into sync as the soft pitter of rain could be heard on the pavement.

I could feel the moisture begin to build on my dress, and Karl's hair had begun to flatten as cool rain found it's way to his scalp. I smiled, watching as he shakes his head like a dog, the water from his hair splashing towards me

"Karl!"
He quickly looks up, a mischievous smirk on his lips as he does it again. With an amused laugh I begin to back away from him, not even realizing until he suddenly stands up and with a terrible attempt at some type of accent, he whispers into the cold night

"I'm gonna get you"
I take this as a chance to run, his cute giggles fill the dimly lit streets as we make our way towards a nearby park, puddles erupt under our feet and rain drops continue to soak our clothes, but I've never felt so alive

With a surprised squeal, I'm being held by the waist, the boy's head resting on my shoulder as he pushes us into the wet grass, our outfits now completely ruined. Our loud laughs could be heard all throughout the empty park, his head still rested against me as we finally came down from our high and were left with a light silence.

I watch as raindrops race down his cheeks and fill his hair, he looked so perfect (standing there in my American apparel unde- I had to, I'm sorry) and calm, just like the storm that had filled the sky above us.

"Can you dance with me?"
Slightly taken aback by his words i furrow my brows

"Dance?"

"C'mon"
He stands up, holding an arm out for me to grab, and as I do, he pulls me up and into his arms. He quickly takes out his phone, typing something before suddenly the sound of rain was accompanied by the familiar sound of Panic! At The Disco

"Back to the streets where we began,
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know..."

The boy held his hand out to me again, his voice filling the empty space between us. I can't help but smile, the look on his face fills my heart as the rain continues to pour around us, out shoes now full of puddles

"Yeah, we're feeling so good"

I join in with him, our smiles growing and hands interlocked as we playfully dance through the wet grass, our laughter continuing to fill the night

"Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know"

The clouds continue to spiral, our voices growing louder and louder

"It's just the end of the world!"

I watched as Karl danced, his arms flailing above his head, rain dripping from his clothes and hair but a smile and pink cheeks covered his face

"Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can"
