Travis sat in the Radio Free Roscoe warehouse where he ran an
underground radio station along with his three friends, Robbie McGrath, Ray
Brennan, and Lily Randall. They all have their own personal secret
identities. Travis is Smog, Lily is Shady Lane, Robbie is Question Mark,
and Ray is Pronto. Lily was more the artistic one; she played the guitar
and sang a lot of the songs that are heard on RFR. Ray was more the
comedian, Robbie was the one who questioned everything, and Travis was the
somber and quiet one.
Travis was listening to the gentle rainfall on the roof. It was a Saturday
night and, of course, he had nothing to do since he was known to be a
loner. He had left the house around nine and it was now five past eleven.
He jumped from his comfortable position on the vinyl red couch when he
heard the door slam shut.
As he looked to see where the noise had come from he saw Lily drenched in black Dickies and a green long sleeved shirt. Her sandy blonde hair hung in strands around her face. Travis stood up and handed his jacket to her since she was shivering.
"Thanks Trav. What are you doing here so late?" Lily took a seat next to her speckled blonde friend.
"Just listening to the rain. Its so much more comfortable here than at my house." Travis adjusted his position so that he was leaning on the armrest.
"Do you mind the company?"
"No, I don't mind." Travis looked over to Lily and noticed that she looked quite uncomfortable trying hard not to lean on him. And he noticed that she was still shaking fiercely.
Travis leaned up and wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her arms to keep her warm. He saw that blood coming back to her face.
"Mmmm...that feels sooo good." Lily started to rub her arms along with him. "You're not cold. It feels nice." Travis leaned back.
"Here, you can lean against me if you want. My body heat will keep you warm." Lily shakily nodded and rested her head against Travis's chest. He continued rubbing he arms until she stopped shivering.
They silently listened to the rainfall and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning Lily's eyes fluttered open to the sound of pounding on the roof. She quickly got up, not noticing that she was with Travis, and looked outside to see thick balls of hail falling to the ground. She suddenly felt a shiver run up her spine and ran back to the couch where she noticed that Travis was still sleeping. A blush crept to her face as she realized that she had fallen asleep in her best friends arms. As she felt another shiver rush up her body she quickly lay back down on Travis and wrapped his jacket around herself.
An hour later both awoke to a loud clap of thunder. Travis looked down to see why he had slight pressure on his chest and his eyes rested on the sight of Lily looked back up at him.
"Morning sleepy head," Lily said in a groggily voice. She sat up and stretched out her arms.
"Morning to you, too." Travis sat up also. As Lily looked over to him she flew into a fit of giggles. "What?"
"Your hair is flying in every direction." Travis attempted to fix it but Lily grabbed his hand to stop him. "Don't, it looks cute like this." Lily's emerald eyes connected with Travis's deep gray ones and she felt a shock run throughout her body. She quickly diverted he gaze.
"Well, I have my spare clothes that I can change into. What about you?" Lily reached into the backpack she had stashed under a box in the corner of the room.
"I always keep an extra pair of clothes here, Trav." Travis walked into the tech booth.
"I'll change back here and you can change in there. Remember, no peeking." Lily giggled like a seven-year-old schoolgirl.
"I'm not that desperate Travis." Lily turned around and quickly changed into her outfit. She was wearing a pair of black flares and a purple tank top. She figured Travis was done and turned around and was greeted with the sight of Travis standing in his blue plaid boxers and a gray undershirt. Lily had to admit that Travis had a great body. He had a rippled chest and strong muscular arms and legs. Lily gasped at the sight of him. He wasn't the weird looking Travis she had always thought he looked like. She turned around to keep Travis from catching her in the act of watching him change- and to keep him from noticing the deep shade of red she had just turned. A few minutes later Travis said he was done and Lily turned around and saw Travis wearing a black turtleneck and a nice pair of denim jeans. How come he doesn't dress like this at school? Lily thought. Travis leaned behind the couch and pulled out a blanket.
He and Lily both lay down on the couch and watched the rain fall outside.
