Our perfect rainstorms

The 20th of March 2016

I managed to snap a photo of a cute bird. Spring was coming along, and I took photos of the flowers and trees and the melting snow in Uutela. It was 6PM and the sun was about to go down. I took the metro back to Kamppi and put on my MCR playlist on my phone, with my earphones in.

Emilia texted me.

Emilia: Hey 

Me: Hey 
Me: How are you  

Emilia: I've had a bit of a shitty day >.<

 Me: Oh what happened?

Emilia: Lots of things you probably don't care about

Then, Charlie texted me.

Charlie: ew its so cloudy and rainy today

Me: Oh dear
Me: There's actually supposed to be a really nice sunset in Finland today  
Me: Would you like to see it?

Charlie: holy fuck can we please?

Me: Of course we can ^-^

I then returned to my conversation with Emilia.

Emilia: I just feel really down

Me: Sorry I gotta go, I'm gonna skype my friend.
Me: You can tell me about it in the meantime, though.
Me: I'll read it later, ok?

Emilia: Oh, ok. Have fun.

Me: This is a *hug* that lasts a whole night. You can use it if you want

I felt guilty, but I really wanted to Skype Charlie. I got home, plugged my phone into my pocket charger, and Skyped Charlie. He let me see his face again.

"Hi!" I said. Charlie smiled at me.

"Hey babe", he replied. "When's the sunset?"

"Yeah, it's right over here", I said as I walked to a nearby park to show Charlie the sunset. It was absolutely beautiful; the sun was red on the horizon and everything around it, the tall buildings, the trees, the intertwining roads and the cars were all golden. Charlie gasped and grinned.

"It's beautiful!" Charlie breathed.

"I know right? We don't always get them but they look amazing when we do", I replied.

"Goodnight Mr. sun!" Charlie said and waved at the sunset. I giggled. "My parents must think I'm weird. I'm saying 'goodbye Mr. sun' and waving at my computer screen".

"Well weird is good, I think", I said.

"My weird is like I'm incredibly childish", Charlie said.

"How so?" I asked.

"As in I'm actually 15 but I act like I'm an actual 4-year-old sometimes", Charlie said. "I get so many dd/lg blogs following me on Tumblr because I post such childlike shit there".

"Like the 'daddy' blogs?" I asked.

"Yeah, those", Charlie replied. His eyes were fixed on the sunset on the screen. My eyes were fixed on him.

"I think those blogs are really cute", I said.

"The porn is so nice though", Charlie replied. "Like spankies and ropes and shit". I felt like Charlie was going to say something else, but he didn't. "Sorry, I'm weirding you out", he said. I saw his face morph into an expression of guilt.

"Hey, it's totally fine. I promise", I said. "I don't mind talking about these things with you".

"You sure?" Charlie asked.

"Absolutely", I replied and smiled. Charlie smiled back.

"I wanna live in the clouds", Charlie said.

"If they were solid I think that'd actually be fucking amazing", I replied.

"Yeah! I don't think I'd ever be sad then", Charlie said. I looked up at the clouds. Their underside was painted pink and red and orange by the sun. They looked just like cotton candy. I smiled.

"You think so?" I asked.

"If I could live in the clouds I'd be happy", Charlie said. "Or maybe just if I could live with you".

I looked down. "Really?" I asked and blushed. Charlie blushed too.

"I think so. And we could go on adventures and cuddle and wake up next to each other!" Charlie said.

"Maybe we can do that. I don't think I could live alone, if I'm honest. It'd be fantastic to have you living with me", I said.

"We should", Charlie said. I tried to smile.

"Sorry, video is gonna go away for a while. I'll still be able to talk though", I said and went out of the Skype app. Emilia had texted me.

"What're you doing?" Charlie asked.

"I have to talk about something with my friend", I replied.

"Oh, should I hang up? I don't wanna be a bother", Charlie said.

"No, it's fine, you can talk", I said.

"Okay", Charlie replied.

Emilia: I got ignored all day today
Emilia: I feel like I'm invisible sometimes and you're like my only friend
Emilia: I want a real hug from you 
Emilia: Virtual hugs are great but I want a real hug

Me: Oh dear
Me: I'm at the park where we were  a few days ago
Me: If you wanna hug 

Emilia: It's fine
Emilia: Just Skype your friend

Me: I'll hug you so much tomorrow. Ok? 

Emilia: Sure
