Something with these three, please. It's raining outside, after a long hot dry spell. Maybe something that fits with that setting? I'm feeling more 'established relationship'y, but mostly I'm easy :)
You had to wait a while and I hope you like what I came up with.
~~~
It's raining outside and Chris stands in front of the window, watching the raindrops run down the glass. He can almost see the steam coming from the earth when the rain hits the overheated ground, charging the air with energy.
He feels it in his veins, almost like electricity flowing through his body, energizing him after the long heat wave that made him feel like an old sloth. He starts to bounce on the balls of his feet. He's getting impatient and all he wants is to get out and feel the power of mother nature surround him.
Turning around, Chris sees Lance and Joey curled up together on the couch, watching Star Wars on TV. "I'm going outside," he says, the urgency in his voice so clear to his own ears.
"What?" Joey lifts his head to look at him. He's confused and he's frowning, but he never stops running his hand over Lance's arm. "It's raining outside."
"I know." Chris smiles. The both of them look so cute and comfortable together and he almost wishes to be on the couch with them, being petted by Joey. But the rain is calling him, trying to fill him with energy he so desperately needs.
Lance blinks at him, raising an eyebrow, but after a second his expression changes. His eyes soften and he starts to smile. "I'm coming with you."
Joey starts to protest when Lance gets up. Chris doesn't blame him. There's nothing better than Lance cuddling up to you on the couch. He's always warm and it just feels right and safe to hold onto him. And Lance seems to enjoy it just as much as Chris and Joey.
Just one glance of Lance and Joey shuts his mouth, sighing, and gets up as well. It makes Chris grin, Joey's such a sucker for Lance, just like him.
Chris turns and opens the big glass doors. He's just standing in the doorway for a little while, inhaling the cool air that feels so good flowing over his hot skin. It smells of rain and energy and wet grass and then he finally steps outside, letting the rain wash over him.
Within seconds he's soaked to the bone and it just feels so good. He tilts his head back and opens his mouth. The rain prickles on his tongue and he remembers that he used to do this when he was little. Just standing outside in the rain, trying to catch the raindrops with his mouth, while his mom yelled at him to come back inside.
He starts laughing, the joy pulsing through his body. He feels so young, so small and big at the same time, and when he feels the presence of Lance and Joey right behind him he feels even better.
"You okay?" Joey asks and he can tell he's amused.
Chris looks at the dark sky, the clouds looming dangerously above him, but also so peaceful. "I've never been better."
I have a total weakness for rain-worship in stories [why yes, I am identifying wth Chris wanting to be ut there feeling it] and the three of them together make me happy, and Lance gets it and Joey's happy to accept it and *rar* - thank you!
