...His mind became blank for a moment as he tried to analyze everything but one thing he couldn't stop from being noticed.

His heart started to beat ferociously and he knew what that means all about...

" u-umh hello???? "

Dazed and confused. Too drunk as those words were hammering around his head started to make him feel dizzy. Clueless was clearly shown on his countenance. But before he could think another assumption and another assumption, a soft honey voice came to register through his clouded mind, making the canadian male broke his little trance.

Mark then fluttered his eyes in a repeated manner and unconsciously let his fingers wandered down at the hem of his hoodie.

" h-huh? " seemed like his tongue got tied into knots, he stammered like the presence of that person intimidated him.

" u-umh are you okay??? " the average-looking male who owned those visible tiny constellations splattered all over across his beautiful tan skin just asked back with a hint of concern filled in his voice.

Letting his eyes scanned the entire stature of the other male in his front for another attempt, Mark slowly shook his head which turned into a vigorous one. Burying all unwanted thoughts at the back of his head, he shot the latter his signature smile to convince both of them.

' stop chickening out ' he thought.

" y-yeah... yes, I am. I was just.. confuse??? umh, why are you knocking on my door? " trying to be careful in every word he was throwing, Mark did some small gestures that must be one of his uncontrollable idiosyncrasies.

" oh right... umh you see " the tanned male then looked back around the area and they both watched how the rain poured so heavily that everyone could distinguish no signs of making the rain stop any moment.

Thick and melodious sounds fell from the crying sky totally engulfed the entire vicinity and came to sing upon every roof of the neighborhood. The gleaming of the golden sun already hid behind the gray velvet clouds, letting the whole place was blessed by the thunderstorm.

As that little greedy show almost made them lost in thoughts, a long sigh just intruded, making the canadian male brought his attention back to the person who was now giving him a knowing look. With a forehead was creased, he unconsciously gulped thickly as another certain thought ricocheted in his head.

" what? " Mark blurted out but he only got a sheepish smile in return.

That look gave him an idea which he didn't know if that was okay or not.

CLENCHING at the soft fabric he pulled out from its shelf, Mark then inwardly took a deep breath and he kept the towel close to his chest, remembering what just happened a few minutes ago just to let his unexpected visitor stay in his place for the meantime until his pickup comes to get him.

He wouldn't know if he should be grateful that someone will accompany him after a long time meeting another beautiful face, not his bestfriend japanese male who was ready to ruin his day, all the time but he won't mind because he means a lot to him.

Savoring the short moment alone in his room, the canadian male knew that he has to go downstairs and stop for being ridiculous. He needed to lend the said towel and his clean pair of articles to the tanned male who was patiently waiting with the soaked clothes he got from the bad weather.
