Visiting New York wasn’t something I usually did, but I went in casual clothes and blended in like a normal citizen. I grumbled to myself as rain starting to fall, I glance up to see if the cloud would pass by, then I spot something, or someone. The figure standing on the roof of a tall building near the edge. My eyes widen and I immediately bolt into the building, I sprint up the stairs and slam the door open once I get to the roof and I look at the person standing on the slightly elevated rim of the building. I slowly approach them, my hand up and ready to jump out and grab them, the gravel crunches under my boots. Oddly enough they seem to be glowing, the rays of the setting sun illuminating the rain and making it gold. Their clothes are a little damp, and their back facing me.

“Hey bub, why don’t you come over here so we can talk?”

I say as calmly as I can, I get closer and I glance down at their shoes on the stone. It looks like they could easily slip, I glance back up then my hands suddenly wrap around their waist and I let out a shudder of relief as I pin them to my chest so they can’t try to step off the edge or slip.

“It’s okay… I gotcha.”

I say softly, due to the rim being a foot taller than where I’m standing on the gravel they are a little taller than me. I keep my arms right around them and make sure they won’t thrash if I pick them up and take them far away from the edge.

“Don’t try to move okay? You can’t jump, not on my watch…”
