Remi hummed softly, peering out the window at the absolute onslaught of pouring rain. Despite knowing very well he'd probably have to walk through this to work, he felt very much at peace. He had set up a bench against his window for this very moment, his face almost pressed against the glass, his silk curtain, half draped over his shoulder in his haste to watch the rain. He quietly sipped his coffee, a small smile coaxing its way into his face. A small idea popped into his head and he glances around at the outside world, checking if there was any signs of life also enjoying the rain. Once it was confirmed a conclusive no, he focused a bit, convincing the water droplets to draw shapes on his window. He sprinkled the window with many tiny stars, creating any constellation he could remember. He sighed in satisfaction at his masterpiece before allowing the rain to wash it away and making a fresh canvas. He flinched at a crack of thunder as his power flickers out. Remi rolls his eyes, not really minding too much, just annoyed it broke his content concentration. He pulls out his phone and the slightly wadded up napkin, adding Dylan into in contacts
"Heyyy gurl, it's Remi. This is Dylan right?" Remi typed out, somewhat nervous that maybe Dylan was a jerk and gave him the wrong number. It took much longer then he was comfortable with for Dylan to reply
"Mhm, i was wondering when you'd text me. Did you forget or somethin?" Dylan replied, not quite typing how Remi was expecting him to. He seemed too collected, but this was a pleasant surprise.
"Oh no, doll, 'course I didn't forgot! I figured you might of been busy" Remi left out the whole not wanting to seem desperate part, glancing out the window at the rain. The conversation drifted to general apartment basics, Remi explaining the layout and how he works late nights. Dylan asked if pets were allowed, leading to a side tangent about pets. Dylan had a snake, which was cool. He seemed pretty excited about being allowed to have it, sending a lot of pictures of his snake as a result. Dylan seemed a lot nicer over text, more open and energetic. Remi has a slight fear before that they might clash personality wise, but that fear was quickly dissipating. Remi got a call from work explaining that power was out and they were shutting down early, so Remi didn't have to come in today. Remi, as much as he liked the rain, was pretty glad about that. Rain tended to make his powers act up, and he didn't need a situation at work, he couldn't afford that. His brain began taking him down the negative track again, that people would be afraid of him. His parents were, they separated him from his cousin forever the moment they found out Remi might be a threat. He'd come to the conclusion his biological parents probably dumped him because of his powers and-
Remi shook his head clear of the thoughts, he wasn't doing this right now. It was going to be a good day, he's not going to ruin it because of some pessimistic thinking. He leaned back against the window, hoping he didn't sound off when he questioned Dylan more about his snake, figuring someone else's happiness might bring a bit of his own. On cue, a new spam of snake pictures flooded in and Remi giggled to himself.
