A rainy day isn’t always a bad day if you spend it with your soulmate.
---------------------
Rain was heavily pouring outside. It has been going on for three days and Splatsville was as soaked as a salmonid just getting out of the water. Only a few inkfish dared to venture out, otherwise all the others had stayed at home, warm and dry. After all, everybody knew that inklings and octolings didn’t do good with rain and water in general.
Staring at the blinds, Ray wondered if there would be any thunderstorms soon, not that he complained though. Unlike a lot of people, he found them quite relaxing. But the sky was so dark the only main source of light in the room was his phone, so it didn’t seem to bode really well.
But it wasn't like there was anything to worry about, bad weather will pass at some point anyway. Ray laid more on the couch and came back to surfing the Inkternet. He liked a post of Anna posing with Jamal for their victory after a tense rainmaker match and continued scrolling.
Ray also reposted the splatfest results and saw the last Off The Hook songs available on Squidtube. He clicked on ‘We’re So Back’ since he still hadn't had the chance to listen to it and the sound suddenly pierced his ears. He quickly lowered the volume while cursing in his breath.
Seeing he forgot to mute his phone once again, Ray sighed and heard grumbling. He lowered his head and saw Daisuke, who was resting on top of him, tightening his grip and burying his face a little more in his neck.
“What the fuck was that ?” He mumbled, still half-asleep and voice muffled by his hoodie.
“It was me, sorry.”
“It’s fine, the music’s good so it’s okay…”
Daisuke paused for a second before opening an eye to peek at Ray. “Also because it’s you. Otherwise it wouldn’t be.”
Ray chuckled lightly, knowing how much Daisuke could be of a grumpy cat when it came to sleep. Ray put his phone away and wrapped his arms around him in a firm hug, to which Daisuke immediately responded with a quick purr.
“I feel bad for waking you up though, could I do something to be forgiven ?”
“You are already.”
“Sure ?” Ray’s ears wiggled a bit, still uncertain.
Daisuke smiled at his reaction and straightened on his chest to be on the same height as him and look at him properly in the eyes. “But if you insist, what about your cinnamon french toast ? It’s the best in existence.”
“You really wanna eat at this hour ?” Ray scoffed.
“Why not ? I’d do anything for your food. Y’know that. So, please ?”
Daisuke started placing small kisses across his face to convince him. Slowly at first, then becoming more insistent. A huge smile spread on Ray’s lips as it left a tingly feeling and a laugh escaped him.
“Okay I’ll do it, I’ll do it !”
Daisuke stopped, putting a last kiss on his cheek and pulled away with a victorious gaze. Ray playfully rolled his eyes then gave him a peck on the lips in return before delicately nuzzling Daisuke.
“Wanna continue your nap on my shoulders while I cook ?” Ray proposed.
“Gladly.”
Daisuke turned into swim form, falling on his lap with a squishy sound, and Ray carefully picked him up. He placed him on his shoulders and he settled comfortably in the hollow of his hood, right behind his head. Ray got up and Daisuke wrapped his tentacles around his neck, suction cups brushing against his skin.
“Enjoying this ?”
“Hell yeah.”
