Rainy Day Starters

“It’s never going to stop!”

“I think there’s a leak in the roof.”

“Rain drops keep fallin’ on my head.”

“And I’m singin’ in the rain, just singin’ in the rain!”

“We should get the candles in case the lights go out.”

“It’s cold. Scoot over and cuddle with me.”

“Ugh!! My socks are soaked.”

“I left my umbrella at home and now it’s coming down a flood.”

“It’s thundering so loud.”

“I have a confession. I am afraid of storms.”

“Well, I was going to go, but then water soaked through my shoes and got my socks wet so fuck that.”

“I love the sound of rain on the roof.”

“I think I’m going to sleep this rainy day away.”

“I love the rain.”

“Why don’t you kiss me in the rain?”

“Watch out for the mud puddles.”

“Can I borrow your truck? My car is stuck in the mud.”

“Let’s sleep in today.”

“I’m thinking it’s a movie and cuddled on the couch in a blanket type of day.”

“If you don’t come back inside, you’re going to catch a cold”

“I wonder if it’s going to get cold enough to snow.”

“It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring…”

“Rain, rain go away. Come again another day.”

“Come dance with me in the rain.”

“Just our luck, it would rain on the actual parade.”

“Can I sleep with you? I’m afraid of storms.”

“You know you can count how far the storm is by the thunder.”

“Lightning never strikes in the same place twice.”

“The weather said there was a chance of a tornado.”

“I hate rain.”

“The roads are flooded. Looks like you’re stuck with me.”

Dan had gone out for a smoke. It was a peaceful night and he decided to escape the loud atmosphere of the club which could still be heard, albeit faintly, from outside. He remained close to the entrance as he intended to go back inside at some point after his cigarette. A man came out, either intending to leave or possibly have a smoke himself. “Nice night isn’t it?” He figured there was no harm in striking up a conversation, even if it was just small talk. “Finally got away from my kids for a bit, though..” Dan paused, chuckling as he shook his head. “Anytime I do go out, I always end up worrying about em. Seems I can’t get peace of mind either way.” Holding the cigarette up to his lips, he took a long drag and exhaled a puff of smoke. “Name’s Dan by the way, pleased to meet you.”

GOD DAMN IT, he was getting too old to stay out this late before work, but he knew he’d catch himself doing it again night after night. What else was there to do? A puff of smoke drifts his way and so does a voice – friendly and soft. Kelly huffs under his breath and waves both away. “ Yeah, it’s nice. I think I’ll take my dogs out later for a quick walk before the sun rises. That’s what I like about dogs. You just feed them and walk them and they can watch each other. ” Sort of. His dogs were blind and deaf, so it was one watching the other. A hand extends to the other for a quick shake. “ Kelly. You done for the night? ”

Dan shook his head once more. “Nah, I got plenty more life left in me.” He took another drag, not minding the fact Kelley stood back. “Don’t like the smell of smoke?” His tone was light and teasing. It wasn’t everyday he came across someone like that but he kept his distance out of respect. “My kids have been bugging me about getting a dog, I’m almost ready to give in and just get them one, but I’m not sure yet. I’m more of a cat person myself.” The night was young and he still had time before he’d head back, and he had plenty of time to think about a dog. “What’re your dogs like?”

The fact Daniel went out of his way to get his wedding band enchanted so he could walk in the sun and the fact he still wears it, even though Mary’s dead, gets me. And he doesn’t wear it just because it’s his daylight ring but it still holds emotional significance to him.

[deadwalked]

A fiftieth birthday gone wrong. Dan went out drinking with a few buddies and he was going to call a cab home, but instead he almost died soon as he left the pub. A figure swooped out from outside of his vision and he had no time to react.

Everything went black. 

When he awoke, his head throbbing with a horrible pain and from what he could make out in the dim lighting, there was blood on his hand and his fingers were sticky with it,  and it stained front of his shirt and pants. Shakily, he got off the ground, and if he weren’t in such a panicked state of mind, he would’ve checked for his belongings but he was in no such frame of mind to do so. 

As he stumbled out of the alley way, bystanders stared at him in horror. One person rushed inside a nearby shop to call an ambulance and the police. Dan merely leaned against an outside wall to steady himself, his heart thudding within his chest.

~~~

No surgery was needed. Shockingly, they couldn’t find any serious injuries, nothing other than two puncture holes in his neck, and they were even more shocked by how Dan was still alive despite his major blood loss. In fact, they weren’t even sure how it was feasibly possible. But he was fine, strictly speaking in the physical sense. So he was free to go home.

He didn’t sleep that night. 

The phone rang and he jerked in his bed, nearly falling out before balancing himself and scrambling towards the phone. “Yes, hello?”

☀️ opening the curtains or blinds

🤗 touching their face

🧦 shaking their foot

🛌🏻 yanking the covers off them

🎵 playing music

One of Dan’s deep seated fears is loss. At some point, he’ll realize he will likely outlive his kids, his friends, everyone, and it’s a difficult thing to cope with. 

And once he finds out about slayers/hunters, well, that’s a new fear. What if he died before the kids grew up? And even if he didn’t, he doesn’t fancy the idea of getting a stake through the heart. He’s not outright paranoid about slayers but he is cautious. He’s not prone to telling anyone he’s a vampire, not that he ever was, but he tries to be as low-key about it as possible because he doesn’t anyone babbling, ‘cause all it takes is one person.
