The sky was dark as the sun had set hours ago, the moon invisible behind the thickness of the clouds. The dim lights of the streetlamps glittered on the orange leaves tracing the asphalt. Laughter was echoing in the quiet night while you found yourself admiring the surprisingly warm temperature. You were only wearing a hoodie on top of your leggings- and yet you didn't feel at all any cold, apart from the occasional shivers covering your body whenever the soft breeze would whisper on top of your skin.

Shaky was the sensation in your weak knees as you tried to find your balance on top of the skateboard. Baekhyun was standing just a few inches away from your figure as he eyed with hope pooling in his twinkling, mischievous orbs. Believing that this time you could definitely succeed. You had lost count of the times you had lost your balance while attempting to initiate a little ride on that skateboard of his. But truly, you were not cut out for that at all. Originally, you would've never had gone out of your way to try so hard on something you knew wasn't for you. Perhaps though, the boy accompanying had sparked a sudden interest. Indeed, you just wanted to know What he liked just to try it all out and love it, you wanted to find out what he hated, and hate it too. The skateboard was like his second half,  a day wouldn't be complete without seeing Baekhyun in his oversized hoodies and cargo pants, speeding down the street ever so skillfully on his skate, with the wind brushing his midnight black locks and flushing his pale cheeks. 

"Oh- OH!" You gasped in surprise when your balance gave out and you found yourself about to kiss the ground, though, two strong arms had already steadied you before that could happen. You wondered if you were in some kind of romantic comic for him to have such fast reflexes. But after all, the grip of his fingers on your arms felt so nice as its warmth seethed through the fabric of your clothes, and his cologne washed over you like hot, comforting water. You found yourself battling within your mind. Two strong needs to shy away and to lean in clashed against one another along with your nervous heart vibrating in your ribs.

"Watch out," He called slightly alarmed and it excited you how his hold lingered on your body, if you could, you'd have it there forever. "Maybe you aren't ready to do it on your own just yet." He stated, pondering out loud. You glanced up at him with a frustrated pout that only made his lips curl into a heart-fluttering smile. "I will never be," You huffed out and this time he laughed, ever so beautifully as he couldn't take his crinkling eyes off you. 

"Let's just go back to step one..." Baekhyun murmured after having calmed down. Excuses. You knew it was just an excuse for him to do what he was doing. This had been going on for too long, no matter how lovely the butterflies in your belly were, you wanted more. How much more time was going to pass before you could carelessly throw your arms around his neck? To have your lips on his lips? To press your heart against his own? You could only long while his mischievous hands traced their way from your arms down your elbows and continuing, until his fingertips teased your frozen palms, eventually holding your hands.

All these subtle touches, those meaningful gazes the two of you would share, they drove you crazy. Were you the only impatient one? Were you running too fast?  

"Why don't we step up?" There was a slightly shocked look on his face at the bold question, perhaps a warm little pink hue traveled from his cheek to the other. The question implied so many things, and yet, you and Baekhyun knew exactly what it was about. Raw emotions swam in his black oceans as he made up his mind. You couldn't have been luckier when as soon as he parted his lips, rain prickled on your skin. It started with a few drops landing on your head until a whole storm came tumbling down on the two of you.

Before you could even blink, you were drenched. For some reason, not even the cold rain had budged you from your current stance; eyes determinately set on his features as you waited for an answer. As if in rewind, Baekhyun's fingers untangled from yours and their tips tickled your palms before caressing their way to your elbows...But taking a different route as they snook around the curve of your waist and hugged you close to him. Shocked? Yes, absolutely. Your heart was trembling uncontrollably and you could hear it thunder in your ears, but there was no way in hell that you were going to back away. 

Not when the shock had so easily subdued from your body, leaving behind a tingling sensation and a warmth pooling in your core as his fingers crossed the boundary between your back and your bum, shamelessly tracing your bottom has he pressed his parted lips on yours. His cushions were slippery due to the pouring rain, but not any less addicting and sweet. His tongue sucking on yours made sure you were warm, and his arms holding you made sure you melted into him.
