Stephen stayed under the cover of the roof. You turn to him after setting your umbrella up.
"Where's your umbrella?" You ask. The rain was pouring down hard now, and it was getting dark. Stephen glances away, slightly embarrassed.
"I-I forgot my umbrella. Daniel drove me here." He muttered.
"Daniel can drive?" You question. This was your freshman year!
"Illegally, Yeah." He whispers just loud enough for only you to hear. You sigh.
"Come under here, I'll take you to my house and we'll figure it out from there. You're gonna get a cold if you stay here and wait for Daniel." You smiled, taking one of your hands off of the umbrella to take his hand. Before he could take it, though, a large gust of wind blows the umbrella from your grasp. You cuss from behind gritted teeth as you watch it float into the sky, almost unphased by the heavy rain. Stephen starts laughing.
"Our hopes and dreams!" He bantered. You kinda laugh with him, taking his hand anyways and running down the street. He gasps and starts laughing with you as you run in the pouring rain. At this point, you didn't mind getting a cold later. It was this moment that really mattered.
"You're soaking wet!" You exclaim, looking at his water-ridden hoodie. Must be heavy.
"That's what she said!" Stephen replied cheekily, laughing with you. You wanted to get home, but you also wanted this moment to last. It didn't really matter which one, because either way you were with Stephen. You look ahead and smile.
"We're here!"
