For the most part, Lightning did not let things stand in her way. If there was an obstacle, she pushed through it.
There were some things stronger than her, however…like Mother Nature.
Lightning glanced out the window, frowning slightly at the drops of rain clinging to the glass and the gray, overcast sky. Her mood improved when she turned around and saw Hope on the couch, despite the - dare she think it - pout on his face.
"A romantic outdoor picnic, right?" She slid into the empty space beside him with a little smirk. "You had it all planned out, I heard. There were going to be candles and everything."
"Yeah, yeah." Hope rubbed a hand over his face with a groan. "So I didn't check the weather forecast ahead of time. It could've been wrong anyway, you know."
"I know." Lightning leaned against him, rubbing his knee in comfort. "It's okay. We can do something else."
"Like what? All the restaurants and stuff will be packed since it's raining."
"We don't have to go out." She smirked again. "In fact, we can go with your idea after all."
Hope looked at her in confusion. "How?"
"Just think about it." She gestured out towards the room. "We can move all the furniture, start up the fireplace…have an indoor picnic instead. And…" She pressed a kiss beneath his hear, chuckling at the shiver that resulted. "Have some dessert before the main course."
He paused, apparently taking this awesome idea in, eventually turning to kiss her smirky mouth. "Perfect," he murmured, proceeding to go for an appetizer.
Lightning had no complaints. After all, she never let anything stand in her way.
