Simon pov
I decide to take a walk outside, despite it being four in the morning and raining.
After a while of walking I spot a tall figure standing, looking up towards the sky. I pay it no mind and just as im about to pass them I glance at their face.
"David?" I look at him surprised. He opens his eyes, looking towards me. His face lights up in a easy smile. "hey, simon. what are you doing out?"
I absentmindedly feel my breath get stolen as a car drives past, letting me see more than his shadowed face. Nothing could ever compare to the beauty of seeing him smiling at me, looking so relaxed as the rain falls down on him.
"I- Well im just taking a walk as I cant sleep.. What are you doing here?" His smile softens and he returns his gaze upwards. "do you like the rain? i do"
I can barely take my eyes off of him, but I look up at the sky. "I dont know. I dont think ive ever really paid it much mind really" He looks back down at me, a grin forming. "we should dance"
I stare at him quizically. "Dance? Right now? In the rain? With no music?" he chuckles at something seemingly funny and shakes his head. "come on si, dont be so on edge."
He then proceeds with holding my hands, leading them to hold around the back of his neck as he places his around my waist. I can feel my face go red and pray he doesnt notice.
"I- uh- what- I dont think this is a-" I can barely talk as he steps even closer than he already was. "stop worrying so much dear. just dance with me a little." He says as he moves us side to side. I look down at our feet and, with clumsy steps, try follow along.
"do you know why i love the rain?" I look back up at him, shaking my head. "it calms me. being out in the darkness with the rain softly pattering down is relaxing. in the night its not as busy, and with the rain thats a good thing." My eyes never stray from his face as he talks, once again looking up.
He really does seem at ease, its almost odd. Hes far less energetic, but it doesnt feel like its in a bad way.
"why do you think youve never paid much attention to the rain?" I snap out of my train of thought.
"Im not sure, I guess ive never really found it worth paying attention to. If it rains you just have to get away and into a dry place. Thats all ive really thought of it" I return my attention back to his face, only to see him watching me with a small smile on his lips.
"well i hope you get to see the beauty of it one day."
And as we stand there, swaying from side to side, my head on his chest. Close as can be and enjoying eachothers presence in the rain at four in the morning after unexpectedly stumbling into eachother, I mumble softly,
"i think i already have"
