Rain & Shine

Kassim wonders quietly how Alibaba can be so pure.

Kassim wonders quietly how Alibaba can be so pure.

The innocence shines in his eyes like a beacon, and Kassim would be lying if he said he wasn't drawn in by the light. By the warmth.

Alibaba's eyes shine warmly as he's standing under Kassim's umbrella, curious as the rain continues to fall softly atop it. Somehow, they've managed to walk into each other on the sidewalk.

"Are you heading to your apartment?" Kassim asks.

"Yeah."

"...can I come?"

The response takes a moment, but it doesn't make much of a difference. "Sure."

Kassim plays with Alibaba's hair while they lie on the couch, golden strands falling through his fingers. He tries not to look directly into Alibaba's eyes, as they gently plead for him to lean in and...well...

Kassim's not actually too sure...

"How was your day?" Alibaba then whispers, and Kassim can feel the warmth radiating towards him once more.

"How was yours?"

"Pretty good." The blonde murmurs, before quickly adding, "Probably because you're here."

And Kassim's taken aback by his forwardness.

The rain continues to fall down onto the roof of the apartment, and the glass of the dimmed windows, streaming down the panes like tears. And Kassim's lips are pressed gently onto Alibaba's as the storm refuses to cease.

But despite that, the only thing he can hear when he pulls back is that of Alibaba's whispered request in the dark.

"Don't leave?"

"Hm?"

"Once the rain stops...don't leave?"

"Sure."

(Before falling asleep, Kassim remembers Alibaba warm atop his chest.)
