On days like these, we'd defy common sense and go on a date without an umbrella. We'd rush out of the door, jacket-less and bare, then run to wherever your instinct would tell you to go. I'd follow you of course, like always, without a second thought.

You led us to a dusty and damp cave one drizzling day, by the sea where the waves crashed close to us. We just stood there, gazing beyond the ocean and when I decided to look up at my side, I saw you smile. The sea, I remember you once told me, reminded you of the way the world works.

When waves are violent, the world is violent. When waves are calm, the world is (almost) at peace. Right now, they were neither of the two, just simply 'normal'.
Looking forward, I slowly reached for your hand to hold it loosely in mine, secretly wanting you to grip back. Then the waves began to jump up at us, spitting cold and salty water in our faces. Now, with the rain and the sea, we were both drenched. But there was no evidence at all within us that said we had a single care in the world.

I was assured the water wouldn't engulf us when you suddenly tightened our clasped hands. "Next time, I'll definitely bring an umbrella."

I laughed to myself, "No you won't."

Seconds later, you shook your head and joined me in little laughter. "Nope. I might as well continue getting drenched under this miserable sky with you."

"That's a good thing...right?"

You looked down at me with an intense glare in your eyes. I held my breath, standing still as ever, as you leaned your face closer to mine. "If I had an umbrella, I'd have one hand occupied in holding it," he smirked. "and I wouldn't be able to do this."

You squeezed my hand before letting it go, placed both of your hands on each side of my face and without hesitation, kissed me.

Seconds, or rather minutes after, I blinked my surprise away. "Yeah, let's never bring an umbrella.”
