The measured
amount of rainfall per annum in the great state of Nevada was 7.87 inches. In
New York, it is measured at 39.28 inches. That said, it only meant that there
was less rain here than in New York. After all, Nevada is a desert. No one
expected heavy showers here.
Besides, David preferred sunny days, despite his disposition with everyone
else. So his mood was darkened like the clouds above his house that day. When
the droplets pattered against his windows, David curled into his chair,
resisting the urge to hiss. He hated the rain. It was cold and wet and depicted
sad images. Like the guy who never gets the girl or the little hungry orphan or
stray kittens. David shook his head and made a point to stop watching sap
movies with Jacqui Franco.
When he felt the
wind blow in, he got up, intent on closing whatever was left open so that it
wouldn’t seep into the wood flooring and be a breeding ground for fungi and the
like. What he didn't expect was Danny standing at the front lawn as the rain
fell. He was looking up, arms open and grinning.
David contemplated
on whether to call Danny in or not.
The love of his
life was getting the white wifebeater that he wore to sleep soaked and sticking
to his well-toned body. And because it was white, the rain made the cloth
translucent, so everyone in the vicinity (which was only David at the moment)
could see just how many lines his abs had. Droolworthy? Hell yes. Instant yum?
Take Danny Messer and just add water. In fact, he didn’t need water for
that.
Then again,
rainwater tended to increase the body temperature and work sinuses in a quick
frenzy. David wasn’t up to playing nurse because of his lover’s stupidity. He
didn’t want to go through being worried that Danny might faint from his stuffed
nostrils while he ran trace at work. He could take time off and they could go
on and on about David’s job on the line against Danny’s health. He wasn’t too
sure he needed a fight over his priorities. Nothing ranked above Danny
Messer.
So he weighed his
options. Sick Danny Against Happy Danny.
David made a
decision.
He stepped
outside, joining Danny in the rain. Danny smiled before pulling David in a
tight embrace before pecking him lightly on the cheek, trailing his mouth and
capturing it into a kiss.
Here they were
kissing in the rain like a bad teen flick. David didn’t care though, as cliché
as their moment was to be, he loved every second of it. Not because it was
sweet. But because it was Danny with him.
“You catch a cold,
I’m not going to care,” David said, breaking the kiss. Danny smirked, almost
expecting his remarks.
“Dave, I’m going
to make sure you fall sick with me,” he remarked, not letting the other man go.
David tried to
glare at his lover but failed miserably when Danny looked up again, smiling
broadly. There was no doubt about it. Danny loved the rain and David was set to
loving everything Danny did. Even if it meant fevers, coughs, sneezes and clot
up sinus cavities.
Besides, a little
bit of rain didn’t hurt anyone.
