Notes:

Written as part of the 2021 Summer Drabble Challenge - a challenge to create a short story in exactly 100 words, based on submitted word prompts.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“What’re you doing on the floor?” Zayn asked his flatmate.

“Dying of heat exhaustion.” Liam whinged.

The heat in London had hit stifling five days ago, with no relief in sight.

“C’mon.” Zayn pulled Liam to his feet. “I know someplace cooler.”

Zayn led Liam up to the roof. Liam sighed in relief at the breeze drifting above the city.

“Is this where you’ve been hiding?”

“Yeah. It’s easier.”

“Than what?”

“Seeing you half-naked.”

“Oh…”

Lightning flashed. Thunder rolled. The skies opened, a deluge enveloping them. Liam glanced sideways.

“Can I kiss you?”

“In the rain?”

“It’ll do - for now.”
