You walk down the street on a rainy afternoon...
looking for some type of enjoyment.
You kick the leaves as you walk past an old brick apartment building.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" You whip your head around to see a black haired boy with a lip ring. He has a black hoodie over his right arm.
When you see his arm, you stare.
Its covered in red cuts.
Some look pretty fresh. You shudder and try to look away, but he catches you looking.
"Please don't look at me..." He wipes his eye with the palm of his left hand.
"I-i'm sor-rry." You studder, trying to be polite.
"Why are you here?" He questioned. You jump a little because you did not expect him to speak again.
"I was just walking... I'll leave,"
"No. Please." You flutter your eyes in disbelief at him.
"I-I'm _____" He smiles and you notice his perfect white and straight teeth.
"Tanner." You smile back.
You start walking and make small conversation about each of your backgrounds.
"Off subject...but did you know you have beautiful eyes?" You take in the compliment and feel your heart rate power up.
"No, thanks." You smile and search for his eyes, still hidden by his hair.
You walk into the park, he leads you because you no longer know where you are.
"Lets pop a squat." You sit down next to him, at ease.
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure." He shifts his weight in preparation.
"Why do you cut...?" He looks down and lifts the sleeves from his arms, revealing his butchered wrists. A few rain drops splatter on them. He makes no sound, but just stares at his wounds.
"It helps me cope..." You give him a confused look.
"My family moved here because my dad lost his job. Now i go to a shitty high school and barely anyone talks to me. I feel so alone."
"Oh..." you instantly feel bad for even asking.
"do you want to know something?"
"Do tell." You reply with curiosity.
"No one has seen my eyes for the past year, since i moved."
You lift your eyebrows.
"Really?"
"Really."
"I decided to show them to someone who I thought would be someone special to me..."
He flicks his hair off to the side so its just shifted above his eyelashes and you stare into his wondrous eyes.
"Oh!" You sit in shock and immediately fall into his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He blinks. The blue color returns once his eyelids open again.
"They're.......beautifully majestic....." You reply still staring.
"I saved them...for you..."
You feel him scoot a little closer to you and feel his hand grab yours. You stare down at his hand and blush.
You smile.
"That's a pretty smile."
You smile wider.
He leans closer to you, and his black hood presses against yours.
You feel his breath run across your face and it smells fresh and intoxicates you.
"Are you ready?"
"Kiss me already..." You whisper, afraid and anxious.
His lips run to yours and you feel a burst of adrenaline run through your body.
His other hand creeps up your side and slides up your neck to your cheek. He runs his thumb across it as he kisses you intently.
The world around you disappears.
You feel a rain drop hit you smack in the forehead.
He laughs and kisses your nose.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!" You say quite loud.
"Calm down, little lady!" He smiles and kisses you softly once more.
You walk home, hand in hand, and before you walk inside, he kisses your hand.
"Sleep well, princess..." You smile and quietly slip inside.
You look out your window and see tanner running across the rainy street, towards home.
