Heavy, lightning-brimmed showers began falling over the set of Titanic. Not fifteen minutes had gone by before director James Cameron sent everyone back to their trailers.

The rain poured down on the two leads, drenching their clothes and muddying their shoes as they ran through the warm, humid air.

The set was a mess- they wouldn't be called back for some time.

As Kate and Leo sought refuge from the thundering storm that fell on their heads, Leo's trailer was the nearest option.

Laughing and screaming, anyone who saw them would think they were escaped maniacs.

"Get in, get in!" Leo ushered her, opening the door to his trailer.

Inside, they caught their breaths, riding out the aftermath of their laughter and sighing in relief.

"Fuck, it's so cold. How did you even get an AC in here?!" Kate questioned Leo, wrapping her arms around herself for warmth.

Leo turned to look at her after switching on a little lamp that tinted the room with dim orange light.

"Easy. I called Tho-"His smile fell as he drank her in.

Drenched fabric sticking to her skin, hugging her figure and going see-through in the most inconvenient places.

He noticed, then, that she was wearing no bra.

He didn't even realise that the same applied to him until he noticed Kate biting her lip.

He followed her gaze, which, to his dismay, landed firmly on the growing bulge in his wet pants.

The blood in his body drained to his feet from embarrassment as he fled the room to fetch them both some towels and blankets.

He offered her a dry t-shirt, but she refused.

"No, it's alright. James will probably want us back when the set is ready, I better stay in this dress and try to dry it off." He could've sworn her voice was lined with something new to them.

"Sure, no problem." He begged the heavens that she chose to cover her chest with the towel- the sight of her rosy nipples threatened to make him say things he shouldn't.

Desperate for something to drown the sound of their heavy breathing, Leo lunged over the cushions of the couch and turned the knob on the little radio he'd brought with him from home.

Sighing in relief, he let himself relax into the moment, laughing lightly as he saw Kate do the same.

"Dance with me," he suddenly said, earning Kate a chuckle.

"What?"

"Come on, we'll dry faster that way."

With a cheeky smile and confidence he didn't really possess, he offered her his hand.

To his surprise, she took it, dropping her towel and standing, allowing him to lead her to the centre of the small room.

They swayed to the sound of romantic tunes.
