:O I'm back! I just recently wrote a Dan Flint (drummer of You Me At Six) story (mostly for a friend) but I've decided to put it up on FFNET as well. Hopefully you enjoy! Leave any comments, criticisms, ect. if you want (: All are appreciated.
Rain pelted my window as I waited for the thunder to start. Britain was really dreary at times, but I didn't mind. My bizarre love for thunderstorms was put to a good use that night. Lightning flashed and the thunder cackled, causing the walls of my apartment to shake.
I closed my eyes to savor the moment.
"Hey," a smooth voice murmured in my ear and a tan, muscular arm wrapped itself around my waist. I jumped and turned around quickly and got caught in his blue eyes.
"Dan! You scared me," I accused. His eyes twinkled.
"Sorry, love. I just wanted to surprise you. Practice finished early," he replied.
"It's fine," I said. I stood on my tip toes to give him a kiss. There was no use in getting mad because I could never stay angry with him.
"I'm glad you're here though. You can watch the rain with me now!" He smiled and pushed my hair behind my ear, knowing how much I loved thunderstorms.
Dan and I had been dating for a little over a year. I loved thinking back to the way we had met; I had just moved to Britain (from the US, of course) to study abroad and was staying in Ashford. Trying to figure out where everything was in the city, I walked into a store and ran into Daniel Flint.
Literally, I ran into him. He instantly started apologizing and helped me up. Then he explained that he was exited; he had had just joined a band to replace their old drummer.
This band was, of course, a band named You Me At Six who was quickly gaining local fame.
We exchanged names and he asked me out on a date. We've been dating ever since.
And now here we are, in our own apartment, watching the rain together.
Dan took my hand and led me to the couch to watch the storm from the window. I climbed into his lap out of habit and his arms automatically encircled me.
The sound of the storm and the warmth of his body lulled me to sleep. I woke up to his slight moving and the shock of something cold sliding onto my finger. I opened my eyes and looked down at my hand. A small, but pretty diamond resting on a silver band stared back at me.
I turned to look at Dan, all words halting in my throat. He was smiling and he took my hands in his.
"Mikaela Valentine… I love you. I've loved you since the day I accidentally knocked you down. I love everything about you and I know for a fact that I can't live without you," He paused. "Will you marry me?"
I nodded my head, not being able to speak. He wrapped his arms around me and embraced me tightly.
"Yes," I was able to say. "A thousand times, yes."
"I love you so much Mikaela," Dan said.
"I love you too, Dan. Always."
And we kissed in the dark to the sounds of thunder and rain.
