The sun was teasing the sky today. At times, it dispersed the sleepy cluds to spread its warm rays, and at others, it hid behind impenetrable gray ones. It was almost ironic, you thought, having your mood closely similar to the weather which completely turned into an imminent storm shortly after strong winds whirled just outside the window you were sitting nearby during your shift.

As light droplets started to pelt the cement outside, you sighed, not looking forward to your trip home when the rain would increase at the end of your shift. You just resigned to fate and started working, not really in the mood to face the world today, your asshole of a manager not giving the day off only added unnecessary spices the the depressing recipe.

By the time your shift ended, the weather condition worsened with the rain drizzling downwards non-stop. You clocked out and grabbed your jacket to at least have some shelter away from the assail of thick raindrops. You didn’t want to think about it, but the impending thoughts had been dragging you down since you woke up this morning. You tried really hard to oppress these intrusive feelings behind the dam you built up in the morning, but it could barely hold them up now as it was filled to the brim and started spilling before heavily crashing down on you.

Tears flowed down from your eyes, streamed down your already damp cheeks, and started to morph into the drizzle of thick raindrops. You felt your throat tightening when you tried to hold down your weak snivels. As your tears fogged your eyes, and your thoughts fogged your mind, you looked forward to cuddling with your lover Lucio s the only thing that could disperse the dense fog that overtook you.

Reaching home, you fiddled with your keys as you briskly unlocked the front door. Hastily, getting out of your footwear and shrugging off your jacket, you sped up through the rooms insearch for Lucio, your sweetheart. You almost ended up slipping when you caught sight of him reclined on his chair in front of his desk.

You were about to run to him and jump into his lap for some comfort hugs and kisses, but you stopped yourself from doing so when you noted that he was working on some songs, noticing his headphones resting on his head and his songs notebook lay open in front of him along some papers with crossed out lyrics splayed around.

He might have not heard you when you entered due to the loud beat pumping from his headphones and ricocheting through his ears as he focused on spilling out some lyrics that would match the new rhythm he created. So why would you go to him and spill your guts out to him only for it to result with a cut short progression and his mood razed with yours?

Shoulders slumping, you decided against talking about it with him, continued on with bottling up your emotions and headed to your shared room to cave in and curl under the blankets with the company of your pressurising thoughts.

The beat still coursing through his head, Lucio started to feel a light theadacke brewing, so he paused the beat and rubbed his eyes. He took his headphones off and got ups stretching before heading to the kitchen. He had been fixated on his desk all day long, trying to squeeze out some rhyming words to create matching lines for his upcoming album. But with inspiration being the bitch it was, Lucio struggled with the goal he had set earlier that day to tack down and ended up spending the whole day unproductively.

Sighing defeatedly, he went to the kitchen to fetch a fresh drink to energize himself and go rest for a while until you return home.

As he reached out into the fridge for the drink, he paused for a second. Now that he thought of you, weren’t you supposed to be back around this hour? Straightening up again, he spared a glance at the clock hanging on the kitchen wall the moment soft, faint sobs reached his ears. His head snapped to where muted cries behind closed doors rippled from, and he quietly paddled through the corridor to check on his love.

A light frown formed on his face as he gently pressed on the door handle and slowly pushed the door open. Finding you under the blankets all curled up and trying to quiet down your breaking out hiccups. The sounds you were emitting broke his heart He couldn’t bear seeing you at this state, the last hiccup he heard before shuffling towards you shattered his heart completely.

You felt the bed dip down from behind you before two arms hugged you, securing you safley against none other than Lucio.

At that moment, you tried to still your quivering body in order not to let Lucio know what you were going through, but he had already asked, “what’s wrong, babe?” He shifted closer to you, hugging you tightly from behind.“What’s dragging you down?”

“It’s nothing,” you replied shortly, yanking the blankets up high to cover your red nose and Puffed eyes, you really didn’t want company then, but it was Lucio’s and his presence had always had calmed you instantly and had enveloped you with a serene overlay whenever he cuddled with you during one of your gray days.

Lucio was about to object about it being nothing but chose not to press if you weren’t ready to open up and tell him about it, so he let it be, pulling you on top of him so you could lie on his chest. Soothingly he ran his warm hand up and down your back, occasionally patting you to pacify the agitating storm within you and patiently waiting for you to break away from the dark clouds lingering around your mind and to brightly shine again.

“It’s just,” you tried to describe what you were going through, Lucio intently listening. “You know when you feel like you’re drowning and no one will be there to help you because you sense thatyou are alone?” You sighed before continuing, “that’s how I feel right now.”

Tenderly, Lucio hugged you tighter, placing an understanding kiss on your temple as he swayed with you. “You know that I’ll always be there for you whenever you need me, yeah? You’re never alone.” He sweetly kissed you again.

“I know,” you replied, shifting a little to get comfortable in his embrace. To be honest, you had already started to cocoon into a thick blanket of tranquility Lucio had brought with him when he first cuddled up to you and pulsated comfort for you. And to think you were going to try and push him away, you shook your head at the thought.

With a couple of kisses being exchanged between the two of you, Lucio felt a little surge of intense emotions course through him, and lyrics of a soon-to-be written song dedicated to you started to flood his mind. Soon after he opened his mouth to speak, the lyrics spilled out with a rhythmic tune accompanying its words. It took you by surprise, not really expecting a song to break through the silence. Its gentle lines put you at ease again as your mind started to drift to sleep, your body cozily nestling against Lucio’s warm one.
