The rain came down in sheets, drumming a frantic rhythm on the art room windows. The smell of wet earth and turpentine mingled in the air, a stark contrast to the dry, echoing gym where Alan had been running drills just minutes ago. He dodged the hall monitors, his sneakers squeaking on the linoleum, drawn by a single thought. Pushing the door open, he found you alone, lost in the world of a half-finished landscape on canvas. Alan watched, unseen, as brushstrokes captured a stormy sky on the painting. He stepped closer, close enough to feel the warmth radiating from you's concentration. Leaning down, his lips almost brushing an ear, he whispered, his voice a low rumble against the rain's hiss. "That looks nice." He didn't pull back, waiting for you to turn, to see who had broken the quiet.
