Prompt #19 (Jimmy Darling [AHS] x Reader)

"We're in the middle of a thunderstorm & you want to stop & feel the rain?"

------------------------------------------------------

It was pouring out as the members of the Freakshow quickly packed up, bracing themselves for one of the worst storms Florida has ever seen. Lightning was exploding, thunder was booming, & the rain was pouring endlessly. The concoction of all this brought a smile to your lips. You knew you should have been helping the others pack & ensure that the tent & trailers were secure, but you couldn't help it. There was something poetic about storms to you & they made you feel so alive. Feeling the soft & cool rain ricochet against your skin made your heart race & your body rise with goosebumps. It made you feel the emotions you lacked, like happiness. You tended to feel nothing but numb most of the time, but nights like this were what you gave you hope & the will to continue.

Your boyfriend Jimmy was watching you from a distance curiously. He never understood your love for thunderstorms, but he found it fascinating to watch you during one. You always had a huge smile on your face & got extremely sick afterwards, which meant that Jimmy had to stay by your side non stop for at least a week to take care of you, which he enjoyed, minus the part about you being miserably sick.

Your smile widened as the rain continued to crash against your cheeks, relishing in the lovely feeling. You could feel Jimmy's eyes on you, so you turned around to face him, smiling as you called out to him, "Come join me, Jimmy! The water is mighty fine!"

He laughed, "Darlin', someone's gotta help out while you's playin' in the rain!"

You rolled your eyes, "I'm not playing, Jimmy, I'm getting in touch with my inner hurricane," he laughed & shook his head, giving up & setting the objects in his hands down before jogging over to you. You immediately pulled him into a hug, pulling his warm body against yours. He hugged you back, holding you close to him. You smiled up at him, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Not as beautiful as you, Darlin'," you rolled your eyes as he kissed you gently.

The rain continued to pour, harder & faster now, but the lightning & thunder decreased. There was still a lot of work to be done at the show, but the two of you were too caught up in each other to pay attention nor really care about what was left to do. You knew Elsa & the others would get it done & doing it with two less pairs of hands wouldn't be that big of an issue. The only thing you really had to worry about was if Elsa saw you two messing around in the storm instead of helping. She'd have your heads on silver platters if that happened.

Jimmy smiled at you, his eyes twinkling, "Care to dance with me?"

You grinned, "I'd love to," he matched your grinned & gently wrapped one arm around your hip, taking your other hand in his. He gently began to dance with you, trying not to slip on the slippery asphalt. You smiled as you both began to dance slowly, the rain still pouring. The warmth from his body radiated into yours, making you shiver slightly at the contrasting feeling of his body heat & the cold rain.

You both danced for a while, just enjoying each other's presence & the feel of the rain. At this point, the others had finished stowing everything away & Elsa had went out to make sure everyone was obeying the current curfew she instilled. Of course, nobody was outside except for you & Jimmy & it didn't take long for Elsa to find you both.

"Hey!" she yelled at the two of you suddenly, scaring you both.

"Shit, Elsa!" Jimmy exclaimed, "Don't scare us like that!" he gripped you tighter & protectively, instantly stepping in front of you & shielding you.

Elsa just rolled her eyes, "We're in the middle of a thunderstorm & you two want to stop just to feel the rain?" she asked incredulously, unamused by the two of you.

Jimmy smiled, "Well, yeah! It's mighty gorgeous."

Elsa snorted, "Just get your asses back in your trailers. It's past curfew!" With that, Elsa wandered off in search of other rule breakers to chastise.

Jimmy turned back to you, "Sorry, Doll; looks like we gotta go inside."

You frowned, "I know; I just wish we didn't need to."

He wrapped an arm around you & kissed your head, "I know. I'll make it up to ya," you smiled & slowly walked with him. He walked you back to his trailer, opening your door for you, "Good night, Darlin'."

He turned to leave, but you stopped him, "Wait, Jimmy!"

He turned back around & smiled at you, "Yeah?"

You bit your lip shyly & smiled nervously, "Will you stay with me tonight?"

He grinned cheekily, "Of course," he walked back & entered your trailer, kissing you as he closed your door. You eagerly returned the kiss, making him smirk against your lips.

Suddenly, you sneezed against his lips & he pulled away as you sneezed again. He smirked, "I guess Nurse Jimmy is gonna make a comeback," you rolled your eyes & sneezed again.
