One day, Venus and Blaine decided to take a leisurely walk in the park. The sky was overcast, but the air was warm, and the park was alive with the vibrant colors of summer. They strolled along the winding paths, talking about everything and nothing, enjoying each other’s company.
As they walked, Blaine couldn’t help but admire Venus’s radiant smile and the way her eyes sparkled with excitement. She had a way of making even the simplest moments feel special, and he cherished every second they spent together.
They were deep in conversation when the first raindrop fell. Venus looked up at the sky, her eyes widening in surprise. “Oh no, it’s starting to rain!”
Blaine glanced around, searching for a place to take shelter, but before he could suggest anything, the rain began to fall in earnest. Within moments, they were caught in a sudden downpour. Blaine instinctively reached for Venus’s hand, ready to lead her to the nearest gazebo, but she stopped him with a laugh.
“Wait, Blaine!” she called, her voice filled with joy. “Let’s not run. Let’s enjoy it!”
Blaine watched in amazement as Venus twirled around, her arms outstretched, her face turned up to the sky. She laughed, the sound pure and carefree, and Blaine felt his heart swell with affection for her. She was so spontaneous, so full of life, and he couldn’t help but be captivated by her joy.
“Come on, Blaine!” she called, reaching out to him. “Dance with me!”
Blaine hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit self-conscious. He glanced around, noticing that the park was nearly empty, the rain having driven most people away. Then he looked back at Venus, her eyes shining with excitement, and he felt a surge of courage.
He took her hand, and together they began to dance in the rain. At first, Blaine felt a bit awkward, but Venus’s laughter was infectious, and soon he found himself laughing too. They twirled and spun, their clothes quickly becoming soaked, but neither of them cared. The rain was cool and refreshing, and the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in their own little bubble of happiness.
They splashed in the puddles, their shoes squelching with each step. Venus’s hair clung to her face, and Blaine’s shirt stuck to his skin, but they were too caught up in the moment to notice. Blaine couldn’t remember the last time he had felt so free, so alive. He watched Venus, her face lit up with pure joy, and he felt a deep sense of gratitude for having her in his life.
As they danced, Blaine pulled Venus close, wrapping his arms around her. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with warmth, and he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. “You’re amazing, Ve,” he whispered.
Venus’s smile widened, and she stood on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. “Thank you, Blaine,” she whispered back.
They continued to dance, their movements slowing as they held each other close. The rain fell around them, a gentle patter that seemed to match the rhythm of their hearts. Blaine felt a sense of peace wash over him, knowing that he was exactly where he was meant to be.
Eventually, the rain began to let up, and they found themselves standing in the middle of the park, drenched but happy. Venus’s laughter had subsided, replaced by a contented smile. Blaine reached up to brush a strand of wet hair from her face, his touch gentle and loving.
“That was incredible,” he said, his voice filled with awe. “I’ve never done anything like that before.”
Venus grinned, her eyes sparkling. “I’m glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes, you just have to let go and embrace the moment.”
Blaine nodded, feeling a deep sense of appreciation for Venus and her ability to find joy in the simplest things. She had a way of making every day feel like an adventure, and he knew that he was incredibly lucky to have her in his life.
They began to walk again, their pace slow and relaxed. The rain had left the park glistening, the leaves and grass shimmering with droplets of water. The air was fresh and clean, and Blaine felt a sense of renewal as they strolled along the path.
As they walked, Venus slipped her arm through Blaine’s, their bodies close as they moved together. “Thank you for dancing with me,” she said softly. “It meant a lot to me.”
Blaine squeezed her arm gently, his heart swelling with affection. “Thank you for showing me how to live in the moment,” he replied. “You make everything better, Ve.”
They continued their walk, the park gradually coming back to life as the rain subsided. Birds began to chirp, and the sound of distant laughter reached their ears. Blaine felt a sense of contentment, knowing that he had found something truly special with Venus.
As they reached the edge of the park, Blaine turned to Venus, a playful smile on his lips. “How about I walk you back to your place? I want to make sure you get home safely.”
Venus’s eyes lit up with warmth. “I’d like that,” she said, her smile radiant.
They made their way to Venus’s apartment, their clothes still damp but their spirits high. The walk was filled with light conversation and shared smiles, the rain having created a bond between them that felt unbreakable.
When they reached her apartment building, Blaine walked her to the door, reluctant to say goodbye. Venus turned to him, her eyes filled with gratitude and affection.
“Thank you for today, Blaine,” she said softly. “It was perfect.”
Blaine smiled, his heart full. “Thank you, Ve. I had an amazing time.”
They shared a tender moment, and Blaine leaned in to press a gentle kiss to Venus’s forehead. “Goodnight, Venus,” he whispered.
“Goodnight, Blaine,” she whispered back, her heart full of affection.
As he walked away from her apartment, a small part of him couldn’t help but remember his true identity—the guardian of Death. Here, with Venus, he was just Blaine, a human falling in love. He couldn’t tell her yet, not until he was sure she could accept all of him. For now, he would cherish these moments, holding onto the hope that one day, he could share his entire self with her.
