i hear a few taps on my window and immediately open it, revealing an out of breath c/n.

"frick, troy bolton makes climbing houses look easy." c/n says, making me giggle.

"you're soaked." i tell him. he rolls his eyes.

"yeah no shit." he says. "hey, save that for school, pal." i tell him.

"let's cuddle." he says, ignoring me. i smile. "kay."

we sat at the window for hours, watching the lightning and counting how close it was.

"y'know, if you think about it we're like thunder and lightning." c/n says out of the blue.

"how so?" i ask him to elaborate.

"we kinda need each other, and you're the silently cool one, and i'm the loud cool one." he says, chuckling softly.

"i love you." i tell him, taking him by surprise.

"i... i um love you too." he replies, pressing his lips to my cheek.

i grab his hands, feeling happier than ever.

"i like thunder and lightning."
