You moved to the neighborhood a couple years ago, and saw Ryder at a few gatherings, around the block, taking a walk, etc etc.

You're walking outside, in the rain. Airpods blastic music in your ears with your hood up, hair down in the front, soaked by the rain. You walked around the neigborhood in thought.

Ryder, was in his bedroom, bored, posting another thirst trap on tiktok, looking perfect in his bedroom with the rainy window. As he reviewed the video, he noticed a figure behind him walking in the distance, you. He decided to come outside to walk with you.

He grabbed the nearest umbrella and walked over from behind you, not that you heard him because of your airpods, you felt the rain stop from above you. You looked up to see an umbrella, confused, you looked to the side where he was standing, towering over you slightly at 6'1.

"hey." he says quietly
