Keep Falling (Let the rain)



Kradam, rain. Written on the fly at work, 429 words of schmoop. As always, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] adelate for beta and encouragement. :)





The rain wakes him.

It started raining the night before and they'd made a fire in the fireplace, grilled hotdogs and then s'mores over the flames, silly and giggling like little kids.

They bought the cabin their third year together.

Adam had tried to be cool about it, saying things about how they could just get away from stuff there, how it could be a tax shelter, how they probably wouldn't actually use it that much, and it wasn’t even that big a deal, but Kris had seen right through him.

Adam likes owning houses. Likes knowing whatever happens he'll have a home, but more than that, this is something legal, something binding between them. They wear rings and the whole world knows about them --- it’s hard not to. The first year they'd been together it had been a secret, Kris still figuring everything out, and Adam still uncertain that it wasn't all an elaborate joke, but they've been together for years now, still as smitten as they had been back then.

But yeah. Rings, and they're fucking committed to this and to each other but they're not married - not in the eyes of the law or the church.

Adam had wanted to buy a house with Kris and have their names side by side on a legally binding contract, and Kris would have said yes even if he'd hated the idea.

He didn't hate the idea. He still doesn't.

They use it more than they'd thought they would. It *is* a nice getaway.

Kris scratches his belly. There's dried come there, and a tender spot where Adam had sucked a fierce kiss into his skin last night. He can't help the happy smile that splits his face. Years and years and years and the sex still makes him blush, still gets him so hot he can't stand it.

The rain is still falling outside, and the steady, soothing cadence makes him sleepy in the soft gray of the early morning light.

Kris rolls over on his side, slings an anchoring arm over Adam's waist and pulls himself closer.

Adam snuffles a little and hmmms, and Kris throws a leg over Adam’s, presses his face in between Adam's shoulder blades. Adam is sleep-warm and pliant and Kris snuggles even closer, pressing kisses to Adam's wide, beautiful back.

It keeps raining.

In his head there's a melody that winds around the rhythm of the rain falling like connect-the-dots outside. He doesn't know the words yet but they'll come to him soon enough. He thinks it's a love song.

There's so many little things I love about this like how Adam wanted them to have something binding and that 'tender spot' he'd put on Kris and that last line is just lovely <3

This is so beautiful; I loved the whole rainy, sleepy mood of it.

Adam snuffles a little and hmmms, and Kris throws a leg over Adam’s, presses his face in between Adam's shoulder blades. Adam is sleep-warm and pliant and Kris snuggles even closer, pressing kisses to Adam's wide, beautiful back.

There's so much here that I just adore.

Thank you! :D It really started out with the rainy day mood - oddly enough, since it was sunny and blue skies when I wrote it.

Dude.
This is like those lil individual portion sized snack packs.
Youre only supposed to eat the one measley serving but thats not gonna fill you up so, you eat another and before you know youve eaten half the box and wasted your money. What Im saying is, give me another snack pack! The best part is, these are free and theyll never be a waste of time. ♥

[identity profile] ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com 2010-04-08 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Heee! Well I'm glad you enjoyed the snack! Thank you so much. :D

This is just lovely, it captures something about that peacefulness that rain can have in a perfect way, and it's such a sweet, soft vision of Adam and Kris's future. ♥

(And that last paragraph is gorgeous.)

Thank you! It started with that rainy day mood, and the last line just came out of nowhere, and I'm glad it did. :D

o my gosh this is amazing! Especially for such a tiny thing (kind of like Kris!) You get so much in here, such a beautiful picture of their relationship, it's evolution, the love, the little insecurities, the foreverness of it. I LOVE this bit:

Adam likes owning houses. Likes knowing whatever happens he'll have a home, but more than that, this is something legal, something binding between them....

Adam had wanted to buy a house with Kris and have their names side by side on a legally binding contract
Wow!

[identity profile] ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com 2010-04-10 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much!

I do think Adam likes that kind of permanence - I mean, I don't know that he'd ever marry because he's not that religious, but I think he'd like something like that, you know?

Omg, gorgeous.

In his head there's a melody that winds around the rhythm of the rain falling like connect-the-dots outside. He doesn't know the words yet but they'll come to him soon enough. He thinks it's a love song.

^ ♥___♥, Wow.

oh my lands.

this was really breathe taking. I loved the imagery and how simply on the verge of sadness right there in the middle but just rolled right into its continuous wave of endearing adorablness.
