Fic - Drabble: Rain (HL, G)
There is a kissing challenge on the 'Angels and Devils' list (that I am not on, though perhaps I should be), and various lovely things from that challenge are showing up here on LJ. I was inspired to write this:
Rain
Rain kisses his face, soft, cool and wet, beading on his eyelashes, running down his cheeks like tears. Water drops trickle into his ears, patter on his head, drip from his nose. He tastes them on his tongue, clean, empty, melting away. Grey clouds cry, a somber sky mourning the sun, but accepting earth soaks up all sorrow - rain or sweat or tears - and will return the drops as leaves and seeds, flowers that lift their faces to be kissed by rain and sun alike.
He tips his own head back and rain kisses his eyes. Alexa had loved rain.
