*A year ago from present time*
Laughter.
A feeling that makes all your worries wash away.
That was all that was heard as the both of you step out of the restaurant you had just been on for your first date. "It's raining." His smile is wide, your perfect smile reflecting his. That's what he would describe it as.
He intertwines your hand with his. "You ready?"
The moment he catches the small nod you had sent him, the both of you make a run to his car. Fits of laughter and giggles echoed on the street and stares from strangers was received, but who cared?
None of you did. This would be a memory that will forever be implanted in your brain. That was all that mattered.
He rushes to open your door and he makes a run to the drivers seat, the both of you sliding inside his car as quick as possible.
You sigh as you give a quick glance to your shoes, "My shoes are now full of water. Should've parked closer." You spoke as you tucked in your seatbelt.
"It wasn't on my agenda that it would rain on our special day." He says as he places the seatbelt in its place, a few skips of your own heartbeat when the word special leaves his lips.
Special day.
It made your lips twitch into a smile.
"A run to the car didn't do anything." You shake your head as you observe Niko's wet hair, plump lip, wet shirt on sight.
He nudges you, "You look way worse than I do. Don't come for me." His eyes are on you as he starts the engine.
You giggle as you shake your head, "Now that is not true!"
"Yeah it is. You look like Shrek's wife except your makeup is more damaged." He laughs deeply as he sees the way your face retorts into offense, your mouth slightly open.
You chuckle to yourself as you open your phone and go to the camera to check how you really looked, "I'm holding this one against you. Just wait and you'll see."
He shrugs like he was unbothered, which makes you roll your eyes despite the grin on your face never leaving.
But without you noticing, he almost curses at himself, scared that he had already said something wrong. He was observing from time to time how you always took a small look at yourself. How could you not see how perfect you already looked? You didn't need to fix anything.
"I don't wanna leave." You whisper to yourself so he couldn't hear, but the small glance he gave you as he parked outside your house proved that he did infact hear you.
After he safely parks the car, he responds with a, 'Me neither.' Which made you relieved.
A few minutes pass by with just pure silence, except you were comfortable in them. And so was he.
"Did I hurt you with what I said earlier?" Niko was the first to break the silence, your eyebrows furrowed.
A small confused smile appears, his heart warming at the sight.
"Hurt me with what?"
He looks down, ashamed. "You know." He shrugs. You squint your eyes, confused.
"The Shrek wife's joke. I'm sorry if it made you upset. I got too comfortable with you. I know it's our first date and i don't want to ruin this because I really like you. I like this." He signals to the both of you.
You smile at how much of a gentleman he was being. "Don't apologize, Niko. That's exactly what I wanted, for you to be comfortable with me. It's really attractive that you threw a joke at me. It's hard to find anyone like that." You fully turn around to him, even though you were supposed to say goodbye to him and get out of the car.
But instead, you wanted to stay for just a few minutes.
He does the same as well, turning fully around to face you.
You swore you could see his eyes dilate at the compliment you had just given him, his eyes softening. He raises his hands to tuck the soaked strand of hair that stood by your eyes behind your ears, "You look incredibly beautiful. From the start of it, till the very end." He whispers loud enough for you to hear.
You grin at his words, enveloped with the way his eyes took every part of your feature with love.
You didn't know what was coming, but the next second, you felt his warms lips on yours. You take a deep breath from the feeling that was overwhelming you with excitement and sick butterflies that developed in the bottom of your stomach.
You didn't know it, but he was feeling it aswell. His lips perfectly fit yours, like it was fate. The world just knew you were meant for each other.
One of his hands lay on the curve of your waist, the other lying on the nape of your neck. Both of your hands go up to his cheeks, smiling as you scratch his stubble.
"Tomorrow?" He rasps against your lips, sending vibrations against you as he spoke.
"Mhm." You hum. Just as you wanted more of his luscious lips, you take the last taste from his lips that happens to be already swollen.
The night had to be put to an end at some point.
"Can't wait." He says with giddiness, a faint blush on his face.
Before you got up to leave, he gives you one more kiss. Except, it was a forehead kiss.
His face becomes a mess as it slowly goes red, looking at anything but your reaction. "Bye." He almost stammers.
He gets out the car to follow you, to make sure you got in there safely. The rain soaks your clothes once again as you go up the steps, your boots making rhythm with the harsh rain.
Once you stood right infront of your door you get out your keys, but you found your hand in the air frozen, not being able to do it.
You knew you were hesitant to unlock the door to your home. You were aware he was right behind you waiting until you go back to him. You just felt it.
How could you feel so addicted to someone after one night?
You turn around slowly, and there he stood with a small smile on his face, "What is it?" He asks, although deep inside you knew that he knew the exact reason on why you couldn't stay away.
"I can't leave." You admit, "Not yet." you felt as if what you were saying right now might be creeping him out, but he proves you wrong by pulling you by the waist with an aggression you never came across.
His lips touch yours with softness, enveloping you with an unfamiliar feeling that has you curious to unveil every part of it.
"So," He mumbles against your lips. "Pretty."
He smiles when he feels your smile triggering at the compliment. The both of you stood right infront of your door and the water soaking your clothes, but that didn't matter at all.
It all felt like pure love.

*Present time, exactly a year ago.*
All of this movie replayed on your mind as the exact date of last year hits you all at once as you looked outside the window from your home.
But it wasn't just a movie all playing in your mind, was it?
It used to be real life.
How could it coincidentally just be raining at the exact same day, oh wait. And Niko being in the exact same car and being right outside your house, parked at the exact same spot.
Except in the car, it was with some other girl. Not you.
Was the world trying to do this to you? To taunt you and torture you because it didn't work out with him?
But now, Niko was in his car with a girl. Well, she wasn't just any girl in the passenger seat... She almost looked like you.
but it wasn't you.
A sense of Deja Vu hits you as you remember this exact moment. You knew what was coming.
A kiss. A kiss in his car.
A kiss in your car. You thought to yourself.
You see that exact smile before the kiss, the smile you've grown to memorize. The moment his lips fall on hers, you look away, feeling the way your heartstrings tug on you with pain.
You're tempted to look back, but this time, the girl was gone, and he stood there in the rain looking at a door that was closing.
Your heart drops as you catch his eyesight for a second, you swore to yourself that he noticed you.
It was confirmed when he looked back, like he had to take a double take to actually know if it's you.
His eyes are wide, his hair wet from the heavy rain, his lips plump just like the night of your first ever date.
This time, the love he had for you was gone.
It felt like the Niko you had known, doesn't really exist to you anymore.
You couldn't look at him anymore, your fingertips shutting the blinds with force, a loud noise occurring.
You shoot up from your bed, you felt like your ears were ringing. You were breathing heavily as you try to differentiate between what's real life and what wasn't.
What the hell was that loud noise? You thought.
As realization hits and everything started making sense to you, you slowly lay back down. Your breathing getting more steadier.
All of this wasn't real.
Now you had remembered what had happened. You were laid out on your bed, staring at your ceiling as you daydreamed of a person who didn't really exist.
None of it was real.
Niko wasn't real and you were just making him up. Well, at least that's what you thought.
You being unaware, the exact person who you daydreamed of, is exactly doing the exact same thing to you.
The both of you unaware that when the time has come, the world will indeed connect you.
