Raindrops
- By Zombie Red
We both sat inside our tent watching raindrops descending from the sky. It was a cold and miserable day.
Evra groaned. "I was thinking of going down the lake today… I guess that's out of the question."
The snake boy… I've always had a special place in my heart for him. He was so friendly, so nice and so lovely. I couldn't help but feel drawn to him and captivated by his golden eyes. His green-blonde hair looked as soft as silk and to be honest, I just wanted to bury my face in it. I know it sounds absurd but… I can't help but think these thing every time I look at him.
I like him. No, more than like.
"So, what do you want to do?"
"Just chill, I guess." Evra shrugged. "We've already fed the Little People. There really isn't much to do."
He leaned back, looking up at the opaque sky. We both sat there quietly and listened to the pitter patter of the rain; the atmosphere felt so calm and serene. I was with Evra, silently enjoying his company. That was all I could ever ask for.
I scooted closer to Evra and placed my hand on his scaly shoulder. I needed to tell him how I felt about him. It was now or never.
"Evra… I, um, need to tell you something." I found myself shaking; I was so goddamn nervous.
"Sure, what is it?" He smiled.
"I… um… It's just that I… um…" I coughed. I wanted to tell him but the right words would not leave my mouth.
"Darren, just spit it out!" He laughed. "We're best friends, right? You can tell me anything." Anything, huh?
I looked at him right in the eyes. "Evra… I like you. Well, I think I more than like you. I'm not sure what this feeling is but… I'm confused and I just wanted to let you know." I buried my face in my hands, embarrassed as hell. "If you're disgusted and don't want to be my friend anymore, I totally understand. I… I just like you so much. I've never felt this way about anyone before."
I began to get up but Evra pulled me back down again. Much to my surprise, he pulled me into a hug.
"You're so silly, Darren," he murmured. "Why an earth would I be disgusted? You don't choose who you fall in love with."
So… this feeling was love.
I grabbed onto his shoulders and leaned my head against his neck. I could feel his slow heartbeat against my chest, his warm breath on my ear, his silk skin against my cheek.
"Evra, I… I think I might love you… Just a little bit."
He lightly pushed me back and placed his hand on my cheek, gently brushing his thumb across my lips. I loved the feel of his smooth, scaly fingers.
And then he leaned in and kissed me. It was a little clumsy and it only lasted for a few seconds. Evra looked down, his cheeks a tint of red.
"I'm sorry. I've never kissed anyone before and…" He trailed off, staring into space.
"You don't need to apologise," I said softly. I started playing around with a strand of his hair. "You know Evra, you're really pretty."
He looked at me, his eyes wide. "What?"
I chuckled. "Nothing."
Evra made a small grunt and leaned against me, settling his head on my shoulder. I felt him lace his fingers in between my own.
For the rest of the afternoon, we watched the raindrops fall from the sky.
