"It's raining." Lance said, looking out the window to the balcony of their apartment. Keith was writing a paper for his history course. He looked up.

"Yep."

"Again."

Keith pressed 'enter' on his computer and made a new line. 7 more paragraphs to go.

"It does that."

Lance sighed and crashed on the couch. "I'm so bored."

Their dog, Grayson, jumped onto the couch and lay down on Lance's chest. Keith saved his document.

"Why don't we take Grayson on a walk?"

Lance got up, making Grayson jump off of the couch.

Minutes later the boys got dressed for the weather. Keith slipped his foot into his rain boot. Lance had leashed Grayson, the chocolate Labrador puppy.

"Ready?" Lance asked.

Keith zipped up his jacket. "Yep."

They lived on one of the top floor of the apartment building and so they took the elevator down. One floor, two floors, three floors, ten floors, twelve floors. Ding. They stepped out and Lance greeted the doorman in the lobby.

Grayson was pulling on the leash.

"Heel." Lance ordered.

Grayson ignored him. Keith laughed. "Wow his training classes are really paying off."

Lance laughed. They held hands and walked in the rain. Grayson stopped in his tracks to smell the ground and walked around Keith and Lance's feet, pulling them together. Lance grinned and kissed Keith, who kissed him back. Grayson wagged his tail, happily.

"It's cold and rainy. Let's go back." Keith said, forehead resting against Lance's. "I have a paper to write."

"Or-" Lance began. "We can go home and cuddle on the couch."

"Yes."
