>Sunday morning
>you're snuggled up to Sunset in a cocoon of maroon colored blankets
>"hey. hey Anon,"
>you hear her whisper quietly, nudging you slightly
>"Anon, wake up."
"Harumph,"
>you grumble
>she quietly giggles, and intensifies her nudging ever so slightly
>"Anon, look outside"
>you shuffle around underneath the covers, making sure that no movements will endanger your sweet blanket home
>after finding the affirmative, you pull the blankets just low enough to peep out
>the first sight is the smile of Sunset, like a child on Christmas
>she giggles at your half-awake eyes, and points to the window
>Only half there, you only see the usual sight of the sky, albeit with a slightly darker tint
>then you notice the sound
>a light pitter patter on the rooftop
>you grin as you recognize it
>rain is falling
>Ever since you and Sunset moved to Arizona all those years ago, there hadn't been a drop of rain to be found
>You missed dancing in it, singing in it, jumping in all the puddles,
> and you know that Sunset did too.
>After, all, it was both of those things that brought you two together
>You still remember stopping your jumping when you hear a splash that couldn't have come from you
>You looked up, seeing a golden-skinned beauty doing the same
>that was all you needed
>her smile lit up the inundated world about, and she had extended her hand, her intentions clear
>you'd skipped and sang and hopped for blocks before you both found yourself hopelessly lost, in more than one way
>you found her the next day at school, the day of the school field trip to the mountains
>You pulled her aside yo ask her name
>But a thick fog had separated you both from the rest of the classmates
>The clouds shrouded you in that unforgettable moment when she leaned over and kissed your cheek
>"Sunset," she whispered
>and the rest was history
 
>Back to the moment, you felt the furious grip of the cold snatch you from blankety paradise
>your frantic screech startles the bemused expression off of Sunset as you attempt to steal back the covers
"aaaaaaahhhhit'scoldit'scoldgoodnessmeit'scoooooold!"
>it was cold
>you launched yourself into the pile she now held in her arms, and the two of you tumbled out of bed
>as per your luck, you ended up on the bottom, with your sweetheart and a tumble of blankets crushing you
>at least the covers were back on
>you cough under the pressure, upsetting the delicate balance of blankets that Sunset was perched upon
>they slide out from between you, the space quickly being filled by the girl you love
"oof!"
>"oof!"
>after perfectly synchronized oofs, she adjusts her body so that she's looking directly down at you
>"you alright, sweetheart?"
>but now you're gazing into her eyes
>she catches your amorous look, and leans down, the two of you sharing some skin
>she kisses you lazily, only a little tongue at first
>but at the sudden pressure your growing member places on her midsection, she grinds her hips into yours and thrusts her tongue deeper
>you gasp at the unexpected forwardness, but do not reject it
>not one bit
>you answer her fully, grabbing the back of her head and showing your own enthusiasm
>you feel her tongue and lips recede as they're pulled into a smile
>you open your eyes to the sight above you
>she's breathing in deep, her forehead pressed into yours
>you can't believe she's here, a sentiment you never totally escaped from
>that dancer in the puddles, that vision at the prom, that flawless figure you've never been able to stop gaping at
>here
>with you
>you pull her into a tight hug, the blankets falling over you
>she twists to fit the mold that you're in, her body perfectly fitting yours
>like the final puzzle piece
>life had come along with this girl, as pain goes with every pleasure
>things just get so crazy
>living life gets so hard to do
>but this laughing girl in your arms makes everything worth it
>she knows you, as you had always feared she would
>but you didn't know how wonderful being known would be
>all your insecurities, your failures and mistakes were spread before her, one by one
>but she had loved you still
>each new tearfelt confession of what you thought would sever the ties were brushed aside and forgiven
>she had lifted your chin so many times, and kissed you when you had believed it was over
>"I love you," she had said
>"I love you," she now said, her deep eyes looking into yours
>you didn't believe it at first
>there was so much wrong, so much you couldn't do
>but she had wanted you
>once, when the both of you were visiting her friend Twilight's house for Thanksgiving, you had had a little too much to drink
>filled with visions of your failures, you'd called your friend to drive you back to your hotel, leaving a note saying she deserved a better road than that which had brought her to you
>you'd woken up with head that felt split, the sound of rain nearby
>there was something in your hand
>a note
>It was the same one that you'd left her, with your words crossed out, and replaced with
>"I would gladly hit the road, get up and leave everything if I knew that it would lead back to you, no matter how long it took"
>You sobbed as you had read it, and didn't notice the rain stop
>But it wasn't the rain, it was the shower
>She had walked out of the bathroom, soaking wet, with eyes red from her own tears
>She tackled you, slamming you back on the bed, and together you wept
>It was then that you had promised to never leave again, a promise you would make good on
>You feel a tapping on your head
>her slender finger knocks on your forehead, a playful expression lazily gazing at you
>"Anon, helloooo"
>"Stay with me Anon"
>You chuckle, and hug her again
"That I can do."
>She beams as you affirm your presence
>then she leaps off of you, alarm in her eyes
>"The rain, doofus!"
>"We're gonna miss it!"
>huh?
>You realize what she means as she pulls you up violently
>Who knows how long this rain will last
>You both shove your legs into some pants, throw the first T-shirt in sight on, and barrel down the stairs
>"Last one there's a rotten egg!"
>she yells
>Of course she says this when she's in first place
>you throw your body over the bottom of the spiraling staircase
>it hurts your legs, but you're now in front of the competition
>After a brief moment of pain, you set off again towards the front door, your sweetheart in hot pursuit
>"Hey Anon!"
>you turn back, readying a list of jeers
>you're greeted with two perfect, bouncing breasts as she pulls her shirt up
>As all higher systems shut down, your hear her laugh invade your awestruck mind
>"you snooze, you lose!"
>Dammit!
>It wasn't the first time she used those against you
>Every time you thought you'd be prepared, those perfect breasts greet you like the very first time, and shatter you
>You return enough of your mind to continue the pursuit, but you've long since lost
>She's leaping outside before you come close to the door, shouting with glee
>You grin from ear to ear when you hear that joyful cry alight upon your ears like silver bells
>Your heart soars when you see the first splash erupt from her galoshes
>you don't even bother with the shoes, and you run out the door, springing into the nearest puddle you can find
>She squeals as the water from your explosion splashes her, soaking the bottoms of her jeans
>This, right here
>This may be all you need
>In the darkness of the early morning, you can barely make out anything but the girl of your dreams
>Still the buoyant girl you had met on that perfect day
>She seems to radiate joy, having an almost golden glow shimmering around her
>In the darkness, she is all you see
>There was a time when she hadn't been so bright
>You don't know what happened, but her light had dimmed
>Not gone out
>You had known that it never went out, it was only hidden, like as light under a basket
>Something in her, something in her had gotten hurt somewhere, and she became cold
>even to you
>She'd started hurting people, exercising the most pointless cruelties
>Each time you heard what she'd done, you felt another part of yourself fade away
>But you pulled it back, keeping yourself together
>It wasn't her
>You don't know what it was, but that girl in the ponds didn't vanish
>She couldn't have
>You took a step back and waited, giving her a call every once in a while
>After all those times she stuck to you through her troubles, you had to do the same
>And one day, she responded
>No, she reached out
>You never expected the caller ID to bear her name again
>Something had happened at her school, something big
>She told you that she had turned into a monster, but she was brought back by a girl named Twilight and her friends
>You told her the monster was never her, that she was always herself, always that beautiful, gorgeous, incredible soul you had fallen in love with that one day
>She told you she felt exhausted throughout her whole body
>You, being the corny guy you were, told her that she could come and rest her bones with you
>It was then that you'd heard her laugh, really laugh, for the first time in years
>She spent the next day with you, crusing your old neighborhood in your older truck
>you'll never forget driving slow on that perfect Sunday morning
>You never wanted to leave
 
>Now you had left, but you hadn't left her
>And she hadn't left you
>The two of you danced in the fresh spring rain
>deeply inhaling that indescribable smell of fresh rain, the two of you jumped about, singing together
>your laughter pierced the skies, and the two of you fell laughing onto the ground together
>the chilly water on your hands poured over hers as you reached out
>Her fingers laced themselves into your, the warm breeze blowing her hair into her eyes
>"My gentleman," she proclaimed, as you dutifully brushed it out of her pale green eyes
>you pulled her into a kiss, as light and wonderful as the morning the two of you had been blessed with
>"My sun," you respond to the radiance before you
>"Always," she whispers, touching your chin and moving in again
>As the two of you kiss, the clouds break, the newly arisen sun bathing both of you in a glow that almost matched that of your sweetheart's
