Waylon's POV:

"Eddie can you come here for a moment!" The warm water ran down my face as my eyes burned from the soap I was washing out of my hair. I was kicking the ground from pain as I blindly tried to find my way to the towels. I heard the door squeak open and heard a "manly" (as Eddie calls it) squeak come from him.

"W-what was it that you needed?" I furiously wiped at my eyes as I hissed in pain, the sound of popping electricity sizzled through the air.

"Just grab me a damn towel!" I heard Eddie quickly scurry somewhere behind me and come back to put a fluffy towel in my hands. I smudged it against my eyes and wiped at the soapy water in my eyes. "Fuck!" When I lifted the towel from my face I saw a blushing Eddie looking a bit uncomfortable.

"Better?" He looked away from me and kind of turned his body in the opposite direction. He couldn't stop fidgeting and clearing his throat, was it that awkward?

"Yeah thanks. I'll be out in a sec." Eddie walked out the door and let it shut with a loud bang.

I lost my temper again, dammit! Eddie might have brought the sanity back to me, but I just couldn't get my temper to settle sometimes. It was always dangerous for me to get angry and I wish i could stop it but sometimes I could just get out of control. Maybe I can make it up to him? I really shouldn't have yelled. With that I started to get dressed in the slimming black and white outfit that Eddie had made for me yesterday. I had to admit, I never thought that I was very good looking but I liked how this looked on me. Made me look a bit taller..... anyway!

As I wandered my way back into the main room I saw Eddie doing something.... strange to say the least. he was hunched over my work table messing with something in his hands. I never saw Eddie over at my messy table so it came as a shock. ( I secretly knew that Eddie was afraid to go over there afraid that he would break one of my projects and make me angry. He could be such a klutz sometimes!)

"What'ch ya doing?" I leaned against his back and looked over his shoulder, scaring him in the process. He nervously laughed and hid something in his hands once again.

"Nothing really, just looking!" He laughed again and looked away. I stared at him suspiciously before sighing.

"I know when you're hiding things, might as well spill it." He gave a heavy sigh and gave a look of defeat.

"I was trying to fix your camera for you. I found this Manuel on these stupid things but I just can't seem to get it to turn on!" I looked into his hands to see a perfectly fixed camera! The shell was put together perfectly and the glass in the lens was no longer cracked! I gave joyful giggle before latching myself to him.

"I'll take a look at it here later. thank you!" I was laughing uncontrollably and I couldn't breath. In my fit of laughs I had remembered something that I should have thought of before! though everything was fenced up outside and barb wired to hell and back, there was still a small patch of grass were the patience would have free period. If I could find the door leading out that way I could take Eddie out there! We both could use some fresh air.

"What are you thinking about?" my thought were interrupted by Eddie's deep voice. I gave him an evil grin before saying in my most sarcastic tone, "Oh I don't know, maybe just how I could easily make you my husband." I laughed at his odd reaction to this and lightly slapped him on the back of the head. "What, you think I was serious? I was thinking about how I could repay you for your oh so kindly deed." I made sure put the last part of my sentence in an accent to get Eddie to grin like a child. He was literally like a big man-baby!

"And what do you have in mind?" He snickered at me. (probably to keep from making the oh so obvious perverted joke he had in mind) I gave him a look than put my hands over his eyes.

"You'll just have to see!" I laughed as he swore under his breath when he hit his toe on the corner of the desk. I led him down the halls until we reached a grated up door. I hurriedly picked the lock on the door and kicked it open. Outside there was a fairly large tree surrounded by a lush patch of grass. A slow sprinkle of rain was turning into a light storm, not to light and not to heavy.

I took my hands from his eyes and let him take it all in. He stood there for a moment trying to comprehend what he was seeing. He then let a small smile light up his face as he let his eyes glance over to me. We stood there not saying anything for what felt like forever. The way he was staring at me made it so I couldn't move. His eyes seemed to be full with a type of happy that no words could describe. Finally he looked away and put his arm over my shoulders with a sigh.

"Have I ever told how much I love the smell of rain?"

"Rain has a smell?"

"Yeah. I just love the smell of moisture I guess."

"I bet you love a lot more than just the smell of rain...."

"And what would that be?"

"Well.... maybe you would care to tell me?"
