Requested by anon.

Author's Note: Hello, anon, I hope this is what you wanted! You didn't mention any specific family issues, so I tried not to get too in depth in regards to what the actual problem was and focused more on the "comfort" aspect of your request.

The murky sky of Forks, Washington matched your mood. You had spent the entire day miserable, eagerly waiting for the reprieve that only being with your significant other, Jasper, could bring you. You were currently waiting outside your house for Jasper to pick you up in your raincoat, hood pulled over your head, hands in your pockets, looking down, watching the rain hit the ground. Jasper pulled up, looking you up and down with a frown.

"Why were you waitin' outside, darlin'? You could get sick." He said, concern laced into his Southern accent. Oh, how you loved that accent. Though you weren't nearly as fragile as he thought you were, his concern for your well being was refreshing, and you got a warm feeling in your chest at the knowledge that he cared.

"Just felt like watching the rain, I guess." Despite the fact that you were grateful for his concern, you had had a really bad day at home and didn't really want to talk about it.

He frowned, but didn't push the matter. The car ride to his house was a silent one, and though your mood had vastly improved now that you were with Jasper, thoughts of your current family situation still plagued your mind. When you arrived at the Cullen house, you realized you were alone. Though you vastly enjoyed the presence of your second family, you were silently glad Edward wasn't here to read your thoughts.

You looked outside at the rain, pensively, feeling a wave of negative emotions at the thought of family. Jasper, of course, felt the drop in your mood and was at your side in an instant. It wasn't that you didn't want to confide in Jasper, you just had a hard time expressing your feelings. You didn't want to burden anyone else with your problems, especially the person you cared about the most. The downside to being with an empath, however, was that he could always tell how you felt; there was no hiding from him.

"What's wrong, darlin'?" He said, his voice filled with worry

"Well, it's just, you know . . . stuff at home isn't really, er, that great." You said, avoiding his golden gaze.

"I see." He said, quietly. He ran his cold hands up and down your back, a gesture of affection that you welcomed. You shivered delightfully. You felt your mood lift, and you weren't sure if it was because he was using his power to elevate it or if it was because of his tender gesture. Either way, you felt your worries melt away, as you always did when you were with your Jasper. You let your head rest on his shoulder.

The two of you sat like that watching the rain; him rubbing your back slowly and your head on his shoulder. Occasionally, you would look up at him and he would smile at you, brilliantly. Oh, how you loved rainy days.
