bakerstreet | into each life some rain must fall.

caught in the rain
it started out quietly, and then, quite suddenly, you're caught in a storm. time to find cover. nothing much to do but to wait it out.

scenarios listed below for those who want 'em.

i. WHERE;
001 PLAYGROUND - well, you can try to hide under the slide or maybe in the jungle gym... at least you're some place fun?
002 PARK - always happens, caught outside trying to take advantage of the weather... and it ends up pulling a fast one on you.
003 STORE FRONT - better hope they have an awning you can take advantage of.
004 THE BEACH - not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm.
005 WILD CARD - anyway you want it.

ii. HOW;
001 TREE - not the best cover, but it'll have to do, stay close to the roots and you won't get too wet.
002 UMBRELLA - most conventional... kinda boring. But it works.
003 NEWSPAPER - not permanent, but it'll have to do. good luck.
004 BAG - well... y'gotta do what you gotta do.
005 NONE - you know what. you're a rebel. you don't need cover. screw convention.
006 WILD CARD - that's the way you need it.

iii. WHY;
001 REJECTED - welp. rejection sucks. and no one will see you crying in the rain.
002 WAITING - for the bus? for someone else? for some revelation? what are you waiting for.
003 MELANCHOLY - sometimes the best place to feel a bit down is out in the rain.
004 HAPPINESS - is everything going your way? are you singing a refrain while walking down the lane? just singin. singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO RAIN.
006 WILD CARD - anyway you want it.

Of course it had started pouring the minute Castle had sat down on the park bench.

He was only supposed to be here a minute, just meeting Kate and then going off to a coffee shop or something. His umbrella was back at home and when he come up from underground after riding the subway, the rain was only a slight drizzle. Now, 10 minutes later, he was soaked straight through and searching frantically for Kate. Maybe she wouldn't come in the pouring rain?

Either way, they needed to talk.

She's just--late and that frustrates her as much as it worries him because Kate Beckett hates being late to anything. Traffic all but stopped because of the rain, as if suddenly people forget how to drive because of a few drops of water. Castle sounded pretty serious when he said that they needed to talk, and she's trying not to be nervous about that but if it couldn't wait and they couldn't talk about it over the phone? It's serious.

Fifteen minutes after the time they agreed to meet, Kate finally makes it to the park, her leather jacket zipped all the way up to her neck and there's no umbrella in her car either-- one of the boys must have taken it.

"Castle? I am so sorry-- there was traffic and you know how drivers get here."

Castle nods, completely understanding. Rain means that people turn into idiots. He wraps an arm quickly around her waist.

"Let's go over there."

He points to an overhang on the side of a nearby building. At least over there they won't continue to get completely drenched. Castle grabs her hand and runs with her across the pavement. After they're out of the downpour, he gives her a proper hug.

"Next time we'll meet some place less wet."

Kate hugs him back, and leans in to kiss him briefly.

"You wanted to talk?"
