Work Text:
It was finally the weekend. Work had been quite the headache recently, so you were looking forward to staying home all day and doing absolutely nothing. You woke up to the sound of raindrops softly hitting the windowpane. It rained a lot during this time of year in Otheon, and you couldn’t get enough of it.
As you’re about to get up, you feel your partner’s arms wrap around your waist. You quietly chuckle as Rody’s grip tightens.
“Why are you getting up?”
“I gotta go to the bathroom, babe.”
Rody softly grunts and sits himself up, rubbing his eyes. He stretches and lets out a big yawn.
“Fine. But this cuddle session isn’t over.”
“Shall we reconvene on the couch?”
“Deal.”
You finally wriggle out of Rody’s grasp to use the restroom, and Rody gets up to start on breakfast. This has been your routine ever since you moved in together.
As you exit the bathroom, the smell of freshly brewed coffee fills your nose. You stride into the kitchen to see Rody at the stove, preparing to cook eggs and bacon. Rody was an amazing cook. He learned a lot from his time working at Stanleyk’s bar, which is where you met him. You knew fairly quickly that he was someone you wanted in your life, whether that be a friend or a lover. You got lucky when he became both.
As you grab the glass carafe to pour yourself a cup of coffee, you catch Rody looking at you.
“Is everything okay babe?”
“Oh yeah, I just can’t believe I get the best view every morning when I wake up.”
You blush at your partner’s flirtatious comments. Rody had been a flirt from day one, and that hadn’t changed in all the time you two had been together. You hug him from behind and rest your head on his back.
“Thank you for making us breakfast.”
“Of course. Anything for you, my love.”

The rain continued to pour as the day dragged on. You and Rody made it a habit to stay home together on days like these. You also developed a habit of doing movie marathons whenever you were both off of work. Rody got first dibs and he decided to pick (Insert your favorite movie here) , which happened to be the first movie you two saw on one of your first dates.
“Did you pick this movie on purpose, Rody?”
“Whaaaaat? No way. I just know you like it, and nothing else.”
You roll your eyes as you open up the blanket so Rody could cuddle next to you. He eagerly jumps on the couch and snuggles into the crook of your neck. He gives you a small kiss on the cheek as you start the movie. You both had seen this movie way too many times, because at random intervals, one or both of you would start quoting it. Sometimes it scared you how in sync the two of you were, but it was also quite endearing.
-----
A few hours had passed of you two lazing on the couch, and your stomach began to grumble.
“Guess that means it’s time for dinner!”
Rody threw the blanket off and jumped off the couch to run to the phone.
“Is Chinese food the move?”
You turn to look at him with your hand on your chin, pretending to contemplate the obvious answer.
“Hmm.. yes, yes it is.”
Rody does a happy dance as he eagerly types the number in for your guys’ favorite Chinese food place. You had been ordering from there for so long that the employees knew your exact order. You sat silently for a moment, watching Rody animatedly talk to the person on the phone. You recalled the day you met Rody, and how every detail was still crystal clear in your mind.
-----
It happened to be raining on that day too. You just had one of the worst days at work and all you wanted to do was drink it away. Stanleyk’s bar was one of your go to’s, but you weren’t expecting your future partner to be working the bar that night.
Rody was chatting up the customers from behind the bar. His charming attitude caught your attention quickly. You watched him make drinks for the patrons, and you were distracted by him asking you what you wanted to order.
“Oh, I-I um..”
You grabbed the drink menu and began scanning it, trying to brush off the fact that Rody caught you staring at him.
“I’ve never seen you around here before, are you new?”
You looked up to see Rody taking in every detail of your face. Your face grew red with blush, and you used the menu to hide your flushed cheeks.
“I was gonna say the same thing actually. I come here all of the time, and you’re a new face to me.”
“Does this face satisfy you?”
You chuckled at his comment, and his smile quickly became one of your favorite features about him.
“I’ll give you an answer when I see what kind of drink you’re going to make for me.”
Rody laughed in approval at your ability to bounce off him so easily. He proceeded to make you one of the best drinks you ever had. He also happened to walk you home in the rain that night, and now, rainy days were your absolute favorite.
