A/N: Just a little drabble I thought of while walking to class. It's very simple, nothing amazing really, but that's okay. It's one of those 'personal' kind of drabbles that I often do, so please don't be mean if you're not satisfied. :) Reviews are welcome, as always.

He pats the spot beside him, so she sits down. For the first time, he grins; she playfully nudges him.
They bask in the sun, welcoming its heat.
It finally seems they have something in common all along.
