Summary: "The rain is coming down hard tonight. I hope you are not caught up in it. I hope you are wrapped up at home, warm, loved, and with the person you love most."
The rain fell harshly on the roof of the bright yellow taxi. Jaejoong sighed as he typed in the final word of his short text message to his friend, explaining how his far-to-long flight finally ended and that he was on his way home, hitting the send button as soon as the song on the radio went off. A woman's voice rose statically through the worn out speakers, her voice smooth and loving even with the bad quality.
"The rain is coming down hard tonight... I hope you are not caught up in it. I hope you are wrapped up at home, warm, loved, and with the person you love most." The taxi snorted and commented huskily on the languid hopes. Jaejoong smiled at the man but perked his ears to the woman's soft voice.
"But if your not home with the person you love, I hope you are warm with them in your memories, in your dreams. ...This song is for you. Wrap in it like a blanket, stay warm." Her voice went out with the soft fading in of a song, one that Jaejoong recognized instantly, one her knew too well. He smiled wide and laid his head back on the worn leather seat, softly whispering the lyrics to himself. His mind flying to one person.
The pen made a nasty scratching sound as Yunho dragged it roughly over the line of words he just wrote. He sighed, not knowing what to write. He laid his pen down with a small chink and turned to look at the hand-held radio on his work table just as the soft song playing hit it's final chords and faded out. The DJ's voice came in soft and caring through the new clean speakers and spoke to her audience.
"The rain is coming down hard tonight... I hope you are not caught up in it. I hope you are wrapped up at home, warm, loved, and with the person you love most. But if your not home with the person you love, I hope you are warm with them in your memories, in your dreams." A soft vibration sounded from the corner of. Yunho picked up his phone and opened the message he just received. The few digital words written on the small screen brought a smile to his face in place of the frustrated grimace.
"Stay warm," was the final words of the woman as he voice faded out. The opening lyrics of the next song flooded the small room and Yunho almost laughed with the perfection of it's timing. He turned in his chair and looked out the soaked window dreamingly, whispering along to the song, and picturing somebody special.
By the end of the first chorus the taxi stopped, jarring Jaejoong from his deep happy thoughts. The driver looked back and accepted the fist-full of bills from the young man then driving away, the song fading out with the sight of the car but still playing strong and flawlessly in Jaejoong's mind, maybe even stronger than what was on the radio. He smiled and shifted the strap of his bag on his shoulder, softly humming to himself as he walked.
With a soft tug, Yunho pulled his sneakers on and stepped out to the hallway, clutching his jacket tight around his neck and an umbrella in his hands. He pushed open the door to the stairs, clicking the umbrella open and making his way down the metal stairs. Softly humming to himself the song he just left.
Jaejoong went to the foot side stairs, for fire exits, not wanting to interrupt his thoughts with people or artificial light. His mouth opened against himself to whisper the chorus of the song, his eyes ghosting half shut as he all but fell into the meaningful chords of the beats, swaying his short auburn hair to the sound and thinking so hard of the face he wants to see.
Yunho tapped his long fingers against the handle of the umbrella in time to the song he was singing to himself a small smile playing on his lips as every word he said made his heart churn with emotions. His feet were quick on the steps, wanting so desperately to reach the person that would be coming back to his all to eagerly awaiting arms.
Jaejoong grabbed the slick hand rail for support as he jogged up the stairs, his whispering increasing to loud melodious singing, the song to rich to keep the volume down for too long. His clothes were soggy and sticking to his body, his hair soaked all the way to his scalp, but he wasn't even cold, the feeling in his heart and the image behind his eyes of the person they were meant for kept him to warm.
Yunho couldn't sing louder as he approached the 5th floor landing of the staircase and the final few lines of the song. His voice ringing deeply, his eyes glistening with water that wasn't the rain, and his heart steaming from the thought of the person he was serenading.
Jaejoong's voice sored as he flew past the mark for the 3rd floor landing, his eyes to busy picturing his loves face to look at the marker sign.
Yunho moaned deeply as he breathed the last words of the song, the closing beats reverberating through his mind. He lifted his hand from his coat pocket and whipped the wetness from his eyes. When his hand went back down he saw another body at the bottom of the stairs, just stepping up to the 4th floor. He recognized the messy head of short hair as instantly as he recognized the song, and it gave him the same feeling.
Jaejoong stepped from the 4th floor landing to the first stair, breathing the beats closing the song he just finished singing, wishing it wasn't over. He looked up at the stairs before him when he heard another foot against the wet metal. He smiled when the familiar face looked back down at him, the sparking teeth he hasn't seen in so long.
Yunho stopped on the middle stair of the staircase watching the other as he climbed up to him, stopping on the stair right below his and looking up at him with those big bright eyes he missed so damn much.
"Jaejoong," Yunho breathed, reaching out to grasp the man's waist.
"Yunho," Jaejoong whispered, cupping the others cheek in his wet hand.
The umbrella tilted to one side, letting a waterfall fall on Jaejoong's soaked bag, but neither noticed. They were too busy looking into each others eyes, warming up from the love there.
Their eyes fell shut slowly, simultaneously, and they leaned forward, eagerly, and embraced each others lips in a searing, rain chilled, kiss neither will ever forget. The song replaying in their head.
A/N: The song that I had in mind while writing this was If You're Not the One by Daniel Bedingfield (click here for an amazing tribute video). But I didn't want to make this a song fiction for that song because I knew other fans might have other Yunjae songs they would like to think about. So please tell me your favorite Yunjae couple song, or at least a cute one you got off the top of your head.
