A/N: My prompt was "lightning". The title is from the Paul Simon song "Hearts and Bones". Thanks to honeyandvinegar and aliensouldream for putting this together!

Love Like Lightning

Casey's never minded thunderstorms. People he might get scared of sometimes, but nature's on his side. Water's cool and cleansing on his face, and lightning reveals the nightscape with the beautiful clarity of a camera flash.

He doesn't mind them tonight either. The hard rain keeps the kids away and leaves him alone with Zeke and the chocolate. They turn out the porch light, undress in the dark, and in bright instants Casey flashes on – a plane of torso a – dark thatch of hair – tongue licking lips Zeke's – long arms reaching out. To touch him.

They roll with the thunder.

Whee, thank you!

(I'm at my parents' place now and the kids who just came to the door said, "We're voting for Obama too," 'cause they saw the lawn sign. So cute!)
