The skies were no longer the beautiful clear blue it had been some days ago. Even though the summer season had started and you preferred sun and warmth over the rain, a little bit of humidity to feed the vegetation didn't bother you. And especially not when you were spending such a cozy rainy day with your long-time crush, yes you guessed it, best friend too. He was really that kind of person that could make the shittiest weather seem like something so amazingly enjoyable.

The rain was heavy and even though you were sharing an umbrella; your shoulder peeked out of its shield, and so it ended wet, though you couldn't really seem to bother about that when you couldn't stop focusing over the way his arm was brushing against yours. His fingers dangerously close to yours, his skin against your arm hot and soothing, and it took all of you to not straight up grab his hand.

You were aware of the fact that the close proximity was making you feel nervous, and the way the blood was heating your cheeks was visible from meters away, there was nothing you could do to stop it. Normally you'd feel comfortable around him, though it was in moments like these; when you were alone and in silence that you felt as self-conscious as ever. Even breathing would seem hard sometimes that in most occasions you'd hold your breath when he'd be closer than normal.

You hated that you had to react this way, it wasn't like you wanted it. Before it had been so much easier, not getting flustered over the least thing he'd do for you. But now, you just couldn't get your emotions together, they were just all over the place, maybe it was because you were a messy person in general.

The silence wasn't awkward at all, you were probably the only one being afraid that you were being awkward because of the thoughts that were rushing through your head, when in reality, Baekhyun wasn't paying attention to your red cheeks. Instead, he was looking ahead of himself with a thoughtful expression on his face, brows knitted together, his black hair slightly damp.

Only when you managed to calm down you could look at him from the corner of your eyes, as always admiring his sharp features, yet somehow they'd turn soft whenever he smiled. His hair made him look even more handsome and mature when it was wet and you couldn't help that thought when it came through your head. Baekhyun seemed to have noticed your stare and so looked back at you with a certain intensity that you had never seen before, and the new expression on his face made you forget how to breathe once more. Everything around you blacked out but him, the soft pattering of the rain and your own heartbeat echoing inside of your ears.

He hadn't said a word so far, why was he giving you such a weird look now? In all the years of your friendship, you had never seen him look at you like that. You had no idea why your heart swelled up with some kind of hope, or what you were expecting deep down, but it did, and the way he took a step toward you, his body facing you, made cold fingers crawl down your spine.

Baekhyun's dark oceans bored into your eyes as he parted his pretty lips to say something, you anticipated the moment he would speak, because exaggerated or not, his voice was your favorite sound on earth and you could listen for it for hours. It was actually strange how he had kept quiet the whole way home, or these past days he hadn't spoken much in general. You couldn't understand if it was some kind of cold shoulder treatment or if he was just not feeling well. You couldn't deny catching him staring at you more often in these past weeks, or smiling at you with some kind of affection that he'd never looked at you with. It wasn't the way friends looked at each other, usually, if he'd start talking, his mouth would never stop moving, and you had quite missed listening to his nonsense.

Deep down you knew what it could mean, but you would never be able to admit it to yourself.

"Y/n," Baekhyun eventually, his voice slightly hoarse yet soft. The way your name rolled from his tongue made you feel things that probably weren't healthy for your heart and you found yourself unable to answer and only send him an expectant look.

You didn't know when he had gotten so close to you because at this rate everything was almost a big blur, his scent clouding your senses, your eyelids feeling suddenly very heavy as you stared deeply into his eyes, eventually falling deeper.

"Have you ever..." his voice was barely audible, just a soft murmur reaching your ears.

"Kissed?" he whispered and the words didn't sink in until you heard the umbrella hit the ground, cold droplets of rain drenching your hair, your eyes widened out of their trance state, suddenly very aware of every part of your body that was touching his. His warm fingers slightly nudging at your cold fingertips, his chest almost flush with yours, and his face considerably closer than it had been just a while ago.

You knew that if you'd look in his eyes again you'd be lost, so you found yourself shaking your head at his question, and because of that, you didn't see the way his eyes lightened up with joy and hope. Baekhyun's voice was still only a soft whisper in the rain when he asked again;

"Can I?" you thought your heart was going to explode, and you inwardly screamed at yourself to calm down and not faint, it would be embarrassing enough if he heard your heartbeat, in which you were sure he did. But despite all of those thoughts clouding your head you still managed to willingly nod at him.

His fingers eventually gently cupped your chin, bringing his gaze to his, before his eyes switched to your already parted lips, you thanked God that he didn't wait any further.

He did it.

His lips crashed onto yours, smoothly pulling them between his. His hand traveling to your neck, the other one cupping the small of your back, his touch leaving burning spots on your skin. His lips were slippery because of the rain yet he still managed to make you want more, before you knew it your fingers were threaded through his wet hair. There was a slightly cold breeze outside, though the warmth of his lips was enough to not make you feel cold.

His tongue gently caressed your lower lip before softly devouring it with care, his teeth pulling slightly at your lip before parting with you. You were breathless and while staring at him with wide eyes mouthed a woah, making Baekhyun chuckle, his eyes forming into crescent moons.

”Woah indeed, I like you too much for my own good,” he said while combing your hair back from your face.

”So much that you couldn’t wait until we got home huh.” you said, he blushed.
