The rain falls in thick, silver sheets, plastering the cobblestones and turning the world into a blur of gray and green. The scent of wet earth and petrichor hangs heavy in the air. Two figures on bikes race through it, their laughter swallowed by the downpour. They skid to a halt in front of a familiar house, dripping and breathless. Alexander, his brown hair darkened and clinging to his face, looks at you with a soft, knowing smile. He steps closer, the rain streaming down both of them, and gently cups you's chin with his wet hand. His lips find you's in a tender, rain-kissed moment that tastes of lake water and something new.
