Title: An Hour’s Rain
Author: J. C. Way
Characters: Will/Allan
Challenge: 17A
Rating: 15
Notes: This is based on challenge A, and I took the title ‘Listen To The Rain’, a song by Evanescence, as my inspiration. I desperately needed something purely fluffy, no angst.
The rain was an all-encompassing absolution, taking the world in its gentle grip and washing it clean. It was all around, loud on the leaves and the forest floor. Will could smell it - wet earth and tree bark and Allan.
Will opened his eyes. The forest was cool and grey. An overhang of rock threw its protection over him. He shifted, and felt Allan’s warmth at his back, arm thrown over his waist. He murmured in his sleep. Will let his head drop back down to the damp earth again and closed his eyes. The rain would last a while.
