  • Rainy Days and Feelings Say •

[10PM, Bridgeport Connecticut.]

The rain's been getting to him.

It was said in the forecast that the rain will last for a few days.. Liam did not like that. Ever since ONE and well the time he got electrocuted in that smokestack he always felt afraid, or at least anxious.

The way everything went down for him that day, one moment you're finding a homeless man and next second you're dead.

The rain was getting stronger during the evening, which caused more thunder and lightning to happen more constantly..

Liam tried his best to calm down, he thought maybe sleeping will help me out? However, it didn't work much to his dismay. He tried to distract himself and do anything just to not notice the loud thunders and flashing lights on his window, playing games, eating, watching, reading.. nothing seemed to help and all activities felt like a waste of time.

10PM became 11PM.. and 11PM became 12AM..

"..Yeah, this isn't working."

Liam's breathing was getting a bit faster as if he was hyperventilating, he wasn't overly panicking but the thoughts of lightning hitting him scarred him, he could even see the lightning scars on his arms as we speak.

At some point he thought of something, he was doubtful and not sure what he would say but he had hope that he'd know.
He took his phone from the nightstand near him, and started texting.

"I can't sleep. Do you have any ideas on what to do?"

He sighed, putting his phone down and awaiting for a response. He wasn't even sure if they were awake.. but he was hopeful. He then hears a notification, he hastily checked it.

"The lightning bothering you too?"

Liam felt relieved knowing he was at least awake, maybe chatting him would help.

"Haha, yeah. I don't really know what to do here."

"Eh, I don't think I have any ideas to help you out to be honest.. sorry about that."

Liam felt a little disappointed, but nonetheless tried keeping the conversation going. He wanted to be distracted with him instead then focusing on the rain.

"Well, what are you doing right now awake anyway?" Liam asked.

"Same situation, can't sleep. Don't know what to do but Idrc."

"Okay okay.."

Liam started chatting them more, the more he chat the less anxious he got. It felt like his worries were starting to Flur away into nothingness, sounds cliché but he loved the feeling.

12AM soon became 1AM, they were still chatting. However, he noticed that the person he was chatting seemed to have been responding late, which isn't usually like them. He kinda shrugged it off, he was busy, maybe?

At some point they stopped chatting for a while, and the anxious feeling Liam felt came back. The rain's wind was getting stronger and the raindrops falling down aggressively. 

Liam decided his next thing was, of course. Texty.

Texty's currently charging at the moment, Liam checked if the battery's enough to last Texty a while to distract himself once again.

"68%"

"Good enough."

Liam and Texty have been getting closer the past few months, they talk a lot and listen to music together when Liam has time. Liam got Texty a new laptop to currently reside in, to which Texty was very grateful for.

Liam unplugged the laptop and booted it up. The laptop processed what to do for a bit, until it opened the search engine and started typing.

< O- Hey Liam | >

"Hey.. sorry for uh- waking you up?.." Liam chuckled a little, do laptops even sleep?

< lmao it's okay, why'd you "wake me up" ? | >

Liam paused for a moment and sighed, "I can't sleep, the rain's bothering me again."

< ...Oh.. Well, I'm right here if you need some cool ass company 1!1!1 😎 | >

Liam chuckled at Texty's response, "Pffft.. alright alright! Do you have any ideas on what to do?" Texty paused typing for a moment, seemingly thinking of something that could help.

Texty quickly changed tabs and started typing, other than checking how the weather's gonna be they also played something they thought Liam would enjoy.

They quickly opened up Spotify, and played one of Liam's playlists. Texty knows how much of a music lover Liam is, and oh boy does this man have a lot of songs he listens to. He has multiple playlists for multiple moods!

Texty played one of them, the title being "Rainy Days by Alf Wardhana"

It had a calming tune, the lyrics were about, well. Rainy days, how things went on in life and blah blah blah.. a special someone who can make it all better.

Liam liked the song, he distracted himself with the lyrics.

Texty went back to the search engine and had a chat with Liam, while they also talk about their favorite games and Texty's personal favorite,  minecraft.

1AM passed by so quickly, and it became 2AM.

Liam felt a bit calm, but he was still anxious.

Suddenly, a notification came up at his phone, he once grabbed it and checked what it was about. He didn't notice anything but there were about.. 10 messages at once, he was getting spammed on and he didn't even notice!?

"Liam, Liam Liam I swear to god."

Wait what?.. he heard knocking at his door.

"Uhhh, dude someone's knocking at my door.." Liam was a little panicked, who the fuck could be knocking at THIS HOUR?

"Open up stupid, it's cold out here!"

Liam tilted his head in confusion, and then it hit him.

He quickly got out of bed and the dozens of blankets covering him, running towards his front door.

He opens it up, both concerned and shocked at what he saw.

"Oh my god, did you take a shower with the rain or something!?"

"Yeah, thanks for noticing Liam." They were very drenched, they luckily had an umbrella and rain coat however it didn't stop them from still being so wet from the current weather condition.

Liam chuckled a little with the response, and let him in. He led them to the bathroom first so they could wash up, they were drenched with water from top to bottom. Liam offered them a towel and clothes to dry themselves.

Liam sat on the couch, waiting for them to be finished. He also took Texty and placed them on the coffee table. He told Texty what happened.

< ok wow the fact that he came all the way there for this. Mad respect already | >

"Yeah .. considering how grumpy Bryce could get during the rainy days." Liam giggled at that thought. When he used to live with him, Bryce hated the rain which caused him to be more irritated then usual.

He heard the bathroom open up, and saw Bryce done and ready. He sat down next to Liam on the couch.

"You literally didn't have to come, you know that right? Plus, you driving in the rain is worse enough.."

"Says the one who crashed my car last time. And too bad, I came and you have no choice but to deal with me."

"Oh noo! I have to deal with Hansen!? The tragedy.."

Both giggled, they've been on good terms for a while after ONE. Ever since then they've been helping each other often and talk through the phone. Liam didn't wanna stay at Bryce's apartment, he sometimes felt burdensome sometimes.

Liam offered to make Bryce hot chocolate, Bryce took the offer and Liam went on to make it.

Both Bryce and Texty started chatting as well, they're very good pals. Due to Texty not having an account they sometimes talk through Liam's account. Sometimes even trolling Bryce just for fun.

< huge respect Bryce, huge one. How'd you even get here without going sicko? Lmao. | >

"Self Control and priority."

< wow, never knew you had those you learn smth new everyday huh? 😁 | >

"WH- Oh fuck you! Next time we meet I'm drowning you in water."

< oh noooo I'm so scared don't do that :(((((( | >

Bryce was about to interject when Liam came in with two hot chocolates, one for himself and for Bryce to enjoy. "Okay Bryce we get it we'll let Texty shower."

< WHTA!? LIAM I CANT BELIEVE YOUD AGREE TO THIS- THIS- THIS IMBECILE !!1!1!1! 😡😡 | >

"See Texty even he agrees. I win." Both Liam and Bryce Chuckled.

< whatever you assholes have fun with ur hot coco and be gay or whatever I'm gonna go mc | > Texty typed, while opening another tab which was loading minecraft.

"TEXTY FOR THE LAST TIME-" Bryce started ranting once again and arguing with Texty, Liam sat sipping his hot coco in silence.

Liam felt a little, weird or flustered after what Texty said. But he shrugged it off. If he's honest, he's been feeling that for a while around Bryce or at least when he talks to him. He couldn't have ACTUALLY fallen in love for a random man he met through ONE right? That's just silly.

Though.. he wouldn't mind liking Bryce either. Liam's face was starting to blush and that idea.. Even then, Liam still felt it, he knows for SURE Bryce wouldn't like him, right?

Liam sighed and just stared into nothingness, with his thoughts being the things he's hearing and the rest of the other noises being blocked.

It's sudden but, Liam has liked Bryce for a while. However, he knows for sure Bryce wouldn't reciprocate back. Since Liam lives in Bridgeport at the moment, he always visited Bryce when he could. And now that he mentions it.. Bryce always seemed very touchy around him, or at least liked to hug him when he could. It's like, Bryce's way of welcoming or saying goodbye to someone.

He always felt butterflies when that happens but always shrugged them off. Hoping the feeling goes away somehow. But it doesn't, the more he talks to him the further the feelings get.

He always felt safe around Bryce.

He still remember the last time Bryce did something similar like today, where he got too worried over Liam just cause of something miscellaneous as the rain, to outsiders it may seem like nothing but to both of them it's a big impact.

• Flashback 🕰 • :)

He remembered the last time a huge storm came around Bridgeport, Liam was still living with Bryce at the time and both were coincidentally enough trying to get a good night's rest. As expected Bryce was not in a good mood and Liam, well, he was trying his best to battle his anxiety with bravery. He knows he has a strong mentality, however he was sorta.. losing at that time.

It was big on him considering it had only been 2 months ever since ONE, and ever since they got back to earth in general. He felt so unprotected, as if the lightning could strike him once again if he lets his guard down.

He started hyperventilating without even noticing.. and that led to light sobs, and it led to quiet crying.

Obviously, Liam stayed quiet. And fought with himself, he felt so.. childish and idiotic for crying over something such as the rain. He didn't want to bother Bryce either, he'd be a nuisance.

"Okay, okay.. come on.. stop that.. what are you doing!?.. you're stronger than this aren't you!? If you are, stop CRYING." Liam whispered under his breath, he covered his mouth with the blankets and tried to block the noises coming out of him. He didn't want to wake up Bryce for this.

"Just calm down.. you're okay.." Liam repeated in his mind, to which he started mumbling under his breath. He didn't notice until now but someone was holding him, his face was completely buried in the blanket he didn't even notice he woke Bryce up anyway.

Bryce wasn't sleeping, if he's honest the rain was bothering him too. He then heard shifting and light sobbing under him, he assumed it was Liam but didn't mind it at first. However it got louder, and he got concerned. He checked up on him to see Liam just crying and covering himself with the blanket.

He knew he wasn't the best at comforting people, however this is different. Both of them are suffering from the trauma and he knows that, best to do something then let him cry like this. Bryce held Liam and kept repeating comforting words, such as "It's okay.. I'm here." Bryce thought it was sorta sappy, but it helps and that's his main objective, to help.

At some point Liam hugged Bryce tightly and suddenly, just jumping to his arms. Bryce let it so, and rubbed his back.

"Okay okay uh, repeat after me.. breath in and out."

Liam tried to repeat what Bryce said, his breathing was shaky but he was trying. Bryce kept telling him the same thing, to which Liam was starting to comply more and more.

He felt calmer, he was starting to sob less and his grip was loosening. Bryce took that as an opportunity to grab him some water to further lessen the anxiety Liam felt. He went to fill up a cup with water and came back to Liam, who's still repeating the same procedure. He sat down next to him and asked if he was okay.

"You okay now?"

Liam sighed, nodding. "Yeah I think so, sorry about this."

"It's fine I wasn't asleep anyway."

Liam felt at ease, he took the cup of water and drank it, feeling more relieved. Sure, the storm was strong but Bryce's presence made him feel better. He was still slightly tearing up, but at least he wasn't panicking as much anymore.

Bryce started rubbing Liam's back again, and Liam leaned in the touch. He was tired, very tired. Liam soon started to bury himself in Bryce's shoulders and felt like he was about to fall asleep soon after.

"Thanks.." Liam said.

"You'll be okay now, right?"

"Yeah I think so, I'll be fine.."

"K, I'll see you in the morning or want me to uh?.. Stay?"

Liam looked down for a moment, contemplating. He was blushing slightly, while gripping the blanket a little harder.

"Stay." He mumbled.

Bryce stayed, as Liam wanted. And both soon fell asleep. They both fell at ease.

If only Liam heard it, if only he heard the 3 simple words Bryce whispered before he drifted off to sleep.

"..I love you."

• End of Flashback so cool right :00 •

Liam didn't notice however he started zoning out.

"Duuude, Liam! Earth to Liam? Wake up!" Bryce said, frantically waving his hands near Liam's face trying to get his attention.

"OH!" Liam jumped up suddenly. "You okay or??"

"...Yeah."

"K good, thought something happened." Bryce nervously laughed it off. Liam did the same as they both sip their hot chocolate. They started mindlessly chatting again, as if it's not 3AM at the moment. They just wanted each other's company during the seemingly endless pouring rain being their concern.

3AM soon turned to 5AM, Bryce, Liam and Texty were chattering to one another the whole time, teasing and joking around. It felt like peace to them.

Liam was caught by surprise as he took one final sip at his hot chocolate as Bryce drifted off to sleep. Texty mentions they're 12% and are needed to be charged. Seems like it's time to finally rest it out.

Liam sighed, he hasn't felt this much- well, relaxation in a while. He stood up and plugged Texty to charge. He sat back at the couch and tried to fall asleep.

Bryce's head soon fell on Liam's shoulder, and so as the gayness ensued Liam took that as a chance to hug Bryce during his sleep. He felt embarrassed doing it but really, who's stopping him this time? If Bryce can do this, he could too.

Liam laid his head on Bryce's chest and soon started to fall asleep as well.

Bryce was still a little conscious.. not as much but he knows what's happening enough to tell. And with a heavy heart.. said the 3 words he mentioned before..

"...love you."

Liam heard it this time, he heard it. And he couldn't believe it, his grip tightened and he finally let out his response. The one Bryce was waiting for, and the one Liam's wanted to mention for so long now.

"I love you too."
