Kiss in the Rain
It’d been a week since the death of Sendak and the new Robeast arriving, and things around the Garrison had started settling down until the Coalition and other species started arriving on Earth. The amount of surprise around the Garrison at the different races and cultures made the administration happy and nervous at the same time, despite the Paladins and Coran assuring everyone that the newcomers were friendly.
Keith sighed as he stood at the edge of the boundaries for the Garrison, leaning against a wall and folding his arms as he watched rainclouds in the distance, still too far away to hear the thunder but close enough to heighten his anticipation of the rain. He ran his hands in his hair and messed it up, snickering as he imagined Krolia’s reaction.
“Really? Again?” she’d ask before running her hands in his hair and straightening it back out, laughing at the indignation on her son’s face. She’d stopped and wrapped her arm around his shoulders, kissing his head.
