A gasp escaped your lips. Quickly grabbing your coat and keys, you immediately head for the stairs. Pushing your legs as fast as they could to the front desk. You knew you had to hurry because, any minute, you would lose him.

In a frantic, you went to the front desk.

"Excuse me!?" you say, gasping for air. "Do you know which direction the man went?"

The shock and confusion on her face was apparent.

"T-to the left!" She answers, and you take off. "But it's pouring out there! Take an umbrella!" she yells, and you yoinked one from her as you leave. "Crazy girl."

It was pouring as soon as you stepped onto the sidewalk. But the rain didn't matter right now. You had to find him before you lost him forever.

Cautiously, you begin to scan the area for him.

To the left...left.

Taking a left, you began sprinting. Immediately, your shoes fill up with water as every trampling step flushes it deeper inside.

The rain hit your body and blinded your sight as you attempted to navigate through the downpour. Your heart was pounding frantically in your chest with every second that went by, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of panic rising within you.

But there he was, a shadow within the veil of rain and fog. You recognized the silhouette of his broad figure. He was also submerged in the falling water from the sky. The will to reach and yank him towards you was agonizing. Thankfully, he wasn't a fast walker.

You didn't have time to guess anything for a second; you just ran and kept running.

"Leon!" you yell from a distance, and he halts his movements. 

"Y/n," he whispers to himself, listening to the sound of your voice. Your face drops when his stern complexion finally comes into clear view

Suddenly, your body collides with him, and your breath catches in your throat from the force.

"You idiot!" Grasping onto him for dear life, he caught your body and surrounded his strong arms against you. You could feel his heat seeping through your drenched clothing, a comforting feeling amid the storm. The rain continued to pour down relentlessly, but the fact that he was with you now was all you needed.

But how dare he...

"You idiot...how dare you leave me again, " you rebuke, burying yourself within him. The knot in your stomach rose in anger in your throat.

"I'm an idiot-" you whimper and pull away. The rain is now masking your tears. You find yourself repeating your words, unable to look at him.

Expecting Leon to argue, to deny your claims, this time, he doesn't hesitate. His eyes were desperate. His body devoted. His passion to take you in his arms wholeheartedly was like no other. The urge to pull you closer was a feeling he couldn't hold anymore. Without considering a second thought, Leon gently positions his hands on your face and places a devoted kiss on your lips. Completely muffling your words.

Daze completely clouded over your thoughts.

Like a reflex, your hands are in his silky golden hair. His skillful hands are on your delicate neck and body.

The warmness of his breath hit against your face as he placed his soft lips, which moved with yours, feeling his perfectly smooth skin against your own.

Finally, his deep voice whispers the gentle words...

"I love you too."
