'Remember when you taught me fate
Said it'd all be worth the wait'

"I love you too, Win."

Win couldn't believe it. He hadn't expected his feelings to be reciprocated.

He stared at Bright even as Bright smiled at him.

"You're not saying this just because I told you right?" Win asked unsure.

Bright frowned.

"No Win. Why would I? I genuinely have fallen in love with you baby." Bright came closer to Win and held his hands.

Win searched Bright's face for dishonesty but was met with none of it.

And then Win smiled.

He removed his hands from Bright's hold and hugged him tight.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." He chanted as happiness filled his heart and Bright hugged him back.

"I need to tell you something, Win." Bright said seriously.

Win turned to look at Bright.

"Yeah?" Win asked.

"I... I might not be able to frequent this place as much." Bright said hesitantly. His eyes never met Win's as he looked out into the night sky.

"Why?" Win said frowning.

"There are... There are certain things going on currently and.... I need to deal with them." Bright said softly.

"Like? You can tell me Bright." Win said and turned fully towards him.

"I know. You're so cute." Bright said making eye contact with Win.

Win blushed pink and looked away.

"Like a baby." Bright smirked as Win whipped his head towards Bright.

"You always have to annoy me, don't you!" Win pouted and shifted away.

"Awww. Come on." Bright laughed and pulled Win to his chest.

Win resisted and tried to push away.

"Yes you're a baby. But you're my baby." Bright said and planted a kiss on top of Win's head.

"Cheesy." Win rolled his eyes affectionately.

'Like that night in the back of the cab
When your fingers walked in my hand'

Bright sighed as he reached out and felt the raindrops on his palm.

It had started raining very heavily and he knew that it would not stop anytime soon.

"It won't stop even if we wait, will it?" Win asked looking up at the night sky which looked even darker due to the rain clouds covering it.

Bright shook his head and shoved his hands inside his jeans pocket.

"You didn't let me take the car. Now how will we go home?" Bright said turning to look at Win.

Win looked at him guiltily and shrugged.

They both looked out into the rain and stood under the little shelter the outside of the restaurant provided.

Suddenly, Win grabbed Bright's hand and ran out into the road.

"Win!" Bright said as he was suddenly in midst of the onslaught of a thousand raindrops.

"Come on!" Win said and started running on the road and dragging Bright behind him.
