I LOOK DOWN AT MY phone and Kylian's name as the rain takes nothing to consideration when pouring down hysterically. I can't walk home in this weather and there's no way I'll get my hand on a taxi now.
It can't be just a coincidence that it starts raining like this from nothing when I'm in Kylian's area.
"Angel?" Kylian speaks through the phone.
"Can I come up?" I ask looking up at Kylian's apartment building.
"Yeah, sure." he respond a little surprised and I end the call right after.
I press the code that I know just as well as the one to my own apartment before I open the heavy door.
I walk the four stairs up to his apartment and when I come up to his floor, I see him standing by the open door looking at me with a smile.
"The rain suits you, it must be comfortable to wear those plastic heels." he laugh.
"Shut up, it's fashion." I say, trying to hold back the smile my lips wants to give to the world.
"I'll get you something to change into." he say walking further into the apartment.
Kylian soon comes back with a pair of training shorts and a t-shirt, both a little too big for me but I'm not complaining. I usually go to the men's department and pick out t-shirts to sleep in just because they are so comfy to cuddle down in. And I'm proud to say that I may have taken a couple of t-shirts from Kylian too.
"Here." Kylian say, giving me a cup of tea as I return after changing out of my soaking wet clothes.
"Thank you." I respond with a mutual light smile.
Something different between us is hanging in the air and I can feel that it's something that none of us are comfortable solving.
"Are we going to talk about last time?" I ask Kylian, breaking the awkward silence between us in his sofa.
"I think we should." he respond and I nod.
"I'm sorry about everything. Not just today, I'm sorry that you not only have to go through the same things as me but also have to feel some kind of responsibility for my wellbeing." I say looking down at my tea.
"Oh Angel. I'm going to be a hundred percent honest with you. Whether it's a burden or not to make sure that you're okay, I wake up everyday feeling better than before because I know that you are in my life." he say as tears starts building up in my eyes.
"Please don't cry, you're going to make me cry and you know that I can be sensitive!" he say and we both end up laughing.
"Thank you for being there for me, filling the big hole in my life that Italy once were in." I say after that the laughter have cooled down.
"I think that we have helped each other after Italy's passing." he say as I lean my head on his shoulder.
"Maybe all this was supposed to happen. Maybe we are ment to become closer and save each other from these dark times in our lives, not only the holes Italy left behind." I say before Kylian leaves a kiss on the top of my head.
Right in that moment, I felt like home. I felt protected and somehow it was like all my problems was long forgotten and that it was just me and Kylian in a living room watching something useless on TV.
Maybe all this was meant to happen...

Are you guys enjoying summer? When do you go back to work / school, or have you already? I'm living life on a Swedish island called Öland.
