Hero's Cuties, Human AU
Tamora laughed as she jumped underneath her home's covered porch and out of the rain, quickly followed by her twice as drenched date. Catching their breaths, they stared out into the downpour they'd just been caught in.
"Here," the blonde returned the handyman's work jacket, which he'd tossed over her at the first sign of a drizzle. Still, it was sopping wet, and so was she. "Thanks."
Taking it back, Felix sighed, running a hand through his hair. Their stroll had been so nice before the heavens let loose.
"I am so sorry, Tammy." He said sincerely. "I-I should have paid closer attention to the weather this morning—"
"It's just water, Fix-It," the sergeant smiled, reaching outwards to help him tidy his hair. "Besides, running from cover to cover with you was kind of fun."
As she spoke, time seemed to slow down as the handyman's wet bangs escaped from her fingers, perfectly tousled as they draped across his forehead.
Glancing down, her eyes met his, their faces only inches apart. When had she gotten so close?
"I…I'm sure you want to get out of those wet clothes and get warmed up," Felix gulped, his heart pounding.
"Mhm," Tamora hummed, her fingers grazing the handyman's chest.
"I should probably go then. And l-let you do…that," he replied, ever the gentleman.
A small puff of amusement escaped the sergeant's lips.
"Or…" she grinned, arms snaking around his neck. "You can come in and help me."
The handyman's face had grown so red by her suggestion, she was sure all the remaining raindrops on his face would evaporate.
Slowly, Felix's grip on his work jacket loosened. And letting the dripping piece of clothing fall from his fingers, he fervently closed the distance left between them.
