A/N: Yes, it has been a long time (a very long time) since I have written on this site, or in general, to be honest. School is doing a great job of occupying my time, but I am currently on summer break, so I may as well churn out something and flex my writing muscles :)

This story will be mostly individual drabbles concerning Jackie and Hyde's relationship. I might post something longer and akin to a plot if the mood strikes me, but I've really enjoyed toeing the line between poetry and prose recently. Please read, and I hope you enjoy!

It was raining.

She hates the rain. Hates the mist it throws onto the world, embracing the horizon in a silver shroud, almost as if the sky were an adventure to be discovered, a present to be opened. Hates the rivers it carves into the patterned earth, the green it pours into the grass, the crackling light it scatters upon the ground.

She wondered if he remembered. That day so perfect, it was sculpted from a dream.


The record store was closed for holiday, and she could see him now, posed against a Zeppelin poster, a smile hung on his lips. She skipped over to him, the air soft on her dancing feet, and there they stood as the world vanished before them. They left that precious building then, she dragging him along, feeling the earth beneath their fingertips. As they rolled in the forest under the water tower, lips and fingers and legs intertwining in the grass damp with morning dew, he told her, those three words burning and streaking across her body. And she had pressed a cheek to his forehead and promised him her forever. The rain came then, gentle caresses upon their skin, and he watched as she laughed, spinning to the rhythm of their connected hearts. He thought that if the sun exploded then, he would not be at a loss for light. Droplets of water traced tiny veins upon their faces as they became one beneath a sky shattered with fire.


He closed his eyes, tears mixing with the elixir of rain.


A/N: Reviews, as always, are greatly appreciated :)
