everyone had gone home, to the warmth of the fire or perhaps a lover's embrace. they were dry and loved, while she was not so likely.
no, she was loved you see, but not in the way one might think. she was loved by the earth, by the sky, by the rain itself which clung carefully to her clothes. she loved them back about a thousand times fold.

she sat on one of the benches with a small huff, and upon checking no one was near, she lifted her skirt and propped her legs, uncaringly taking up space.
and then she closed her eyes, letting the soft lull of rain wash through her senses.
author's note:
first chapter wooooooooo!
this takes place in midgard btw, or earth as we know it. the timeframe is still uncertain. but i feel like this story is a story that completely detaches from the whole mcu timeline, so i most likely won't be referencing to any of the movies!
