into each life some rain must fall.

[luft]

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.

((He can't help but giggle, reaching a hand up to bush his hair, then gently draws his thumb and forefinger along the curve of his jaw. He lets out a heavy breath.)) We'll have to do it again, then.

((Haru had such a messy way of showing his affection, and Makoto loved it. He reached behind him then, grabbing a tissue, his expression relaxing.)) Though probably not at my house again.

[mackerels]

Then mine. [ since there's nobody at home with him anyway. ] Next time.

[ then he leans up to give makoto another kiss, insistent despite the fact that they should really get cleaned up. ]

[dorka]

((The first kiss catches him unaware, and he half laughs out of it.)) Ha-Haru... ((But the second one he leans in for, and opens his mouth wide to Haru, sliding his tongue in again. The third doesn't happen like he wants it to, because he's laughing again, his lips meshed against his lovers sloppily before he turns away.))

Haru, please, lay down a moment and let me get cleaned up. ((he blushes amorously.))

[mackerels]

[ haru acquiesces reluctantly, pushing himself back a little so that they have room to maneuver. ]

I'll go to the bathroom.

[dorka]

Uh, you don't have to! ((Admittedly, he wanted Haru to simply stay with him for a while.)) Besides, it might be weird if the twins saw you walking around naked.

[mackerels]

They're sleeping.

[ and he strips into his jammers all the time. but he acquiesces, stretching his legs out in front of him and reaching for tissues to clean up with. ]

[dorka]

I hope so, ((he mutters, cleaning himself up.)) It's lucky that their rooms aren't next to mine. ((He shifts a bit, pulling himself properly onto the bed and letting his head drop into the pillow. He hums sweetly.)) There's a lot of things I could call lucky, really.

[mackerels]

[ once he's done, haru lies down next to him, curling closer despite the fact that he really does want to take a shower. ]

Mm. [ like what? he means, but he doesn't ask it out loud. ]

[dorka]

((He's lucky Makoto doesn't need too many, if any words to know what Haru is trying to say. Still on his back, he turns his head to watch Haru with soft eyes.))

Well, I'm lucky you put up with me, for starters. ((he laughs.))

[mackerels]

I don't 'put up' with you.

[ as in, he doesn't just put up with him. haru doesn't know what he would do without makoto in his life -- if he were suddenly not there. ]

[dorka]

Sometimes you do. ((He knows he's irritated Haru before; sometimes for Haru's good, other times without thinking. And even then, Haru let him be a part of his life. Makoto didn't really know how he'd live otherwise.

He rolls over and curls an arm around Haru, sweetly kissing him.)) I'm glad you say that, though.

[mackerels]

Sometimes you put up with me.

[ he relaxes into makoto's touch, eyes shutting as he calms. ]

[dorka]

You think so? ((A pause, but he has to be honest with himself:)) I guess I could do without the public stripping.

[mackerels]

[ haru frowns into the pillow. ] There was water.

[dorka]

Haru, you strip for fish tanks.

[mackerels]

There's water.

[ haru no ]

[dorka]

((Half a laughs.)) I guess there's no point arguing.

Which is too bad, ((he sighs,)) I was sort of hoping to take you to the aquarium one of these days.

((your move, dolphin boy.))

[mackerels]

[ ...!!!

he probably wouldn't be able to get into the aquarium tanks -- oh wait, he would find a way. ]

They'll kick us out if I climb in... [ looks away, apparently thinking. ]

[dorka]

Haru, the point of going to the aquarium isn't to jump in with the animals....

[mackerels]

[ but the water! ]

I won't, then. [ though he's pouting a little, annoyed at the prospect of being near so much water and not being able to swim in it. ]

[dorka]

((Makoto chuckles, running his hand up Haru's side and into his hair and drawing a little nearer.))

We'll have to go on a date there, then, sometime.

[mackerels]

And then the pool. Or the beach.

[ because there's no chance he's going a whole day without submerging himself in water somehow. ]

[dorka]

Hmm.... I can probably manage that much.

((Already formulating ideas.))

[mackerels]

Good.

[ tucking himself closer to makoto, calming down enough to want to actually sleep now. and he'll have to get up early to take a shower, if he wants to be clean. ]

[dorka]

((Makoto smiles gently, sits up briefly to draw a blanket over them, then kisses Haru's head when his eyes close.)) Good night, Haru.
