Rhythm Tunes

Rain

The rain came down hard. Myke looked out the window at the falling droplets, a sigh escaping him. Due to the downpour, he was stuck inside until it came to a stop. This halted his plans for the day.

He had been hoping to spend time together with his boyfriend, but the rain meant he couldn't. He couldn't go on a date with it pouring down. His beloved deserved nothing but the best, and he couldn't give that like this.

He would have to make up for the lost time another day. His boyfriend wasn't going to mind, but that didn't stop the guilt, even though he wasn't at fault.

A knock on the door made him jump. He climbed to his feet, going over, and opened it. He was greeted by his partner being soaked from he's head to toes. His crimson hair lay damp, pressed against his skull like a cat's wet fur. His eyes shined bright, and pointy white fangs flashed with his smile.

"Hey love."

Myke's jaw dropped, his blue eyes grew wide at the person standing in front of him. "C-Carmyne?!"

He brushed some of his red hair out of his face, the grin never leaving his face. "That's my name dear."

"But I thought—"

"—I wouldn't come? You should know me by now, love. Now, can I come in, or are you going to make me stand out in the rain?"

Myke moved out of the way, allowing his boyfriend to enter his house. Carmyne came in, skipping off his wet jacket and muddy boots.

"Did you walk all the way over here from your house?"

"I did."

"You could get sick!"

"Please, love, you know I can't fall ill as easy as you." Carmyne placed his hand on his boyfriend's face, zapping the warmth from it, and making him shutter at the sudden cold. "We agreed to hang out today, and I intend to uphold that promise."

"Not that I don't appreciate you doing that, but I don't want something to happen to you just because you wanted to keep a promise to me."

"I would do anything for you, Myke, you just need to say the word."

"I know..." The pink haired youth leaned into his touch, a smile tugged on his lips. "What did I do to get someone as great as you as my boyfriend?"

"I could say the same thing about you." He leaned down, his lips came into contact with his boyfriend. When he pulled up, Carmyne smirked at the sight. "Red as always."

Myke's face warmed, and he quickly scrambled to the kitchen to escape his boyfriend's laughter. He came back a bit later with two cups of hot chocolate.

"Thought you'd like something to warm up with."

"Who needs it when I have you?"

He squeaked, his body grew warm for the second time. His boyfriend laughed as he took the cup.

"Thank you for the hot chocolate, love."

"Y-You're welcome..." Myke said, sitting down beside him.

"So, what do you want to do to pass the time?"

"We could watch a movie?"

"A date, you mean?"

Myke looked away, his face hot. His boyfriend chuckled at him, placing his arm around him.

"No need to feel embarrassed, love. Let's have our date."

The two spent the rainy day watching movies together. At some point, Myke had fallen asleep. His head rested against his boyfriend's chest, a blanket wrapped around him for warmth.

Carmyne laughed softly, shifting to hold him in his arms. He carried him to his room, laying him down carefully to not wake him. He pulled the cover over him, tucking him in nice and warm. A kiss pressed against his forehead.

"Sweet dreams, Myke."

With that done, he left to allow his boyfriend to rest.
