@herrwagner sent a meme: [ WET ] : our muses find one another in a torrential downpour of rain, both soaking wet. because wet fluff.
“Hey!” he yells and waves at what is unmistakably Kurt’s silhouette, voice washed away with the white noise of the rain.
( It’s storm season – weeks of tropical storms whipping the island, with only the hurricanes being warded off by the innate defenses and the work of a few weather-workers. This is one that’s nearly blown horizontal, the droplets so big they nearly whip one’s skin; no wonder everyone’s headed indoors. )
He waits for him, to come closer – almost home – appreciating that at least the water’s warm. When he’s close enough, he grins, and yanks him by his wrist closer towards him.
This is one of the rare times he’s in a good mood, nowadays.
“You look like a drowned animal!” A laugh; ruffling his hair – then he swoops in, on his toes, for a kiss in the downpour.
The rain doesn’t bother Kurt nearly as much as the ones lacking fur on the island. Sure, there were others that also didn’t mind, may even seek it out more than most. He was by no means a fan of the getting soaked part, it took far too long to get dry again, and the stench was less than pleasant, not to mention how it clung to every textile like an uninvited guest. But he did enjoy the feeling of rain, even more so he enjoyed how he could walk more freely and not be bothered every other step because of how people now sought out shelter. He was, if anything. Dragging his feet to make his way back. It was only went a drowned out voice just barely reached him that his attention came back to the present, and left the deep thoughts to be washed away with the rain.
For a beat he paused in the rain, thoroughly confused as to why Daken would be in such good spirits. It came naturally to simply suspect something was off, which perhaps wasn’t the best reaction to someone’s happiness, but this is where they had landed after so many repeated patterns.
The last steps he actually teleported to cover the distance faster, and he by no means expected to be ruffled like a dog. Wide eyes stared with their every shimmering glow looking absolutely aghast at the gesture. If he wasn’t so drenched, he’d most likely be visibly fluffier out of pure reaction. It was the laugh that actually had Kurt lowering his guard as he looked at the tattooed man with a curious expression, as opposed to simply cautious. “It tendz to happen wiz rain.” For good measure he swats at Daken with the soaked tail, giving a good splash to the skin contact with the long tuft at the truly being drenched.
