it was a rainy afternoon outside of the house the two of you shared. the entire day had been gloomy, as well as you. you’d been tired and sad all week, just going through a tough patch.

vessel noticed this, almost immediately. his heart ached as he watched you sit on a windowsill, watching the rain pour down. that was the spot he had built for you, originally made as your reading space— though it’d been a while since you’d used it in that sense.

he walked over to you, quiet as rested a hand on your shoulder, rubbing your back softly as he watched the rain droplets race down the window. “no matter the cost of rain,” he began, softly speaking. “i will shelter you all the same.” he said, leaning down and press a gentle kiss to the top of you head, letting his lips linger there for a moment before pulling back.
