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 singing. Singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO, RAIN.
006 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it.

[ He's right and she knows he's right, but that doesn't mean she has to like it.

She leans into him, despite herself, letting her forehead rest on his shoulder. ]

I'm plenty warm.

[ Even as she reaches down to wind her arms around his waist, to take advantage of how warm he actually is. ]

Do you just intend for us to stand here like this until the rain lets up?

[animated]

[ Charlie can’t remember the last time he anticipated a kiss this much, but those few breaths between Sam stepping closer, putting his hand on Charlie’s cheek, and their lips finally brushing feel like they take forever. He’s almost certain Sam should be able to hear his heartbeat with the way it’s thundering in his ears with nervous excitement.

It doesn’t take much, that first brush of their lips is gentle, but Charlie just melts into it. He brings his free hand to the back of Sam’s neck, and gets up on his toes a little to kiss him back.

God, he’s been wanting to do this for a long time. ]

[impersons]

[ The absolute last thing on Sam's mind is pulling away from Charlie, especially with the way the blond melts into the kiss. Sam ducks down a little more, makes it easier for them to meet in the middle, and he just lets the kiss linger, lets his lips move against Charlie's for a long, wonderful moment.

Jesus, it's been ages since he's kissed anybody and liked it this much, and he only lets it break to speak, soft and tinged with a bit of amusement, ]

Is that enough for your victory, or can I keep kissing you?

[lawbreakers]

[ He shrugs a shoulder, considering she’s leaning her head against the other one. It’s all part of the act, he knows it’s all part of the act, but there’s still something warm that blossoms in his chest unbidden when she leans against him, slipping her arms around her waist. ]

I don’t know. You’re the one who dragged us out here to the trees, cisne.

[ And there’s a word he hasn’t used with her since he told her what it meant days ago. It just slips out without him thinking, too distracted by the way they’re pressed together. ]

[gunpoints]

... It seemed practical in the moment.

[ Except the yacht would have been a much better option. Or the canopy with the other guests.

At least then it would have been easier, felt more natural, to just slip into her role again.

She turns her head on his shoulder, letting his face rest near his neck as she gets comfortable, her nose brushing lightly over his throat. ]

Again with calling me a swan, Vasquez?

[ She'd noticed the lack of it in the past few days, though, and she'd almost thought he'd decided to drop it altogether. ]

[animated]

[ It feels like the kiss is over much too soon, and Charlie has to stop himself from surging forward to chase after Sam’s lips. He’s in the middle of mentally scolding himself for moving too fast when Sam asks his question. It’s probably the most wonderful question he’s ever heard, and he laughs.

Apparently they’re more on the same page than Charlie thought. ]

You absolutely do not have to ask to keep kissing me.

[lawbreakers]

Practically the worst option, you mean.

[ A week ago, he would have thrown those words in her face with all the cutting sarcasm he could muster. Though it comes out a little exasperated, it’s miles away from mean.

He’s not sure which shocks him more, the way her nose brushes along his throat or the way it makes him feel. He got himself in way too deep when it comes to Emma Cullen, and even days later, he’s having a hell of a time reaching the surface.

Her question goes unanswered, because he clears his throat and says gruffly, ]

You keep doing that and I’m going to want to kiss you again.

[impersons]

[ Sam was hoping that's exactly what Charlie would say.

He's not going to waste any time after he gets the green light, and he leans in to kiss Charlie all over again, tugging him closer. He doesn't try to deepen the kiss too much, doesn't go for anything heated or demanding, and instead, just enjoys the moment.

... But he's also realizing that he's enjoying it and enjoying Charlie, and that rational part of him is rearing its ugly head to remind him that he's getting in a lot deeper than he should before they've talked about some pretty important stuff.

Crap. ]

[gunpoints]

[ For once, Emma is actually startled into momentary speechlessness by his response, and it throws her off-balance — but only for a moment.

She gets her bearings back, pulling away to look at him, her usual disapproving frown solidly in place. ]

That's unnecessary.

[ And it's different without a proper audience, like the other guests or Bogue. The idea of him kissing her is a completely separate thing after that stupid mess they'd gotten themselves into a few days ago. Because it was a mess, a mistake, and it's not something they can or should fall back into.

Not even a little. ]

And I wasn't doing anything. You wanted to keep up appearances, and I was doing exactly that.

[kyberheart]

Lovely. No one had called her that before - most of the adjectives associated with Jyn Erso usually didn't have good connotations. But she liked lovely. She liked that Cassian had called her lovely.

"I'll take your word for it," she said with a laugh, ducking her head, seemingly in disbelief that she was in fact what he described. But she looked up at him with the softest expression she could muster and then pressed her lips to hers - wanting that kind of contact again.

[consumingclaw]

((Of course I am, I'm always right! :3))

[ ... she looks so uncomfortable, Velvet almost takes pity on her. Almost. ]

Shopping. Unfortunately the rain broke sooner than I thought. [ AND she couldn't get the item she wanted either. ]

It doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon either. You're going to get sick. Again.

[rebellionbuilt]

He'd suspected as much. But Cassian didn't call Jyn lovely simply because nobody else had bothered to see it before. He said it because he meant it. She was a lot of other things, too, including stubborn, capable, determined, downright scary, and sometimes a pain in the ass, but that didn't mean that she couldn't be lovely, too.

"I'm glad", he murmured, a light in his eyes that usually wasn't there, more than happy to adjust his grip, hold her all the closer still, and return the kiss - this time, unafraid of taking the chance and deepening it just a bit, wanting to explore and taste her all the more fully.

[kyberheart]

The intention in the way Cassian kissed her back was clear and she was more than happy to comply - deepening the kiss as equally. She hummed softly, tightening her arms around his neck. But after a moment, she broke that kiss, too - to breathe, to take things slow. "How's the pain?" She asked. Back in the medley, she had been concerned about it - she knew Cassian was strong, but pain was pain. She wondered how he had gotten on in that time without her.

[prettyawkward]

[Rabastan blinked a few times, looking down at himself, and still not quite making the connection that this was out of the ordinary. He instead focused on her question.]

I will be. I'm sorry I'm giving you a bad impression. I'm usually much better when I've slept. You're very kind, and I'm not a good guest.

[He took in her new look, eyes lingering on the scars. They didn't shock him, not really knowing what they came from, and he had plenty of scars himself. But they seemed unique and he couldn't quite keep his eyes off of them.]

[rebellionbuilt]

Taking it slow was good, and he knew that he could get lost in the emotions and sensations of it all - both of which he'd become very good at compartmentalizing away. It would be good to remember to breathe. Cassian shrugged softly, tilting his head to the side as he thought. "Bearable, most days", he answered, smiling wanly. "Some days, I'm not so lucky." He'd never be 100% again, but he'd be able to function more or less the way he had before. "Yours?"

[animated]

[ Charlie remains blissfully unaware of Sam's inner turmoil and is just enjoying kissing him. He murmurs in approval as Sam tugs him closer, pressing their lips together.

He is, however, made quite aware of just how soaked they are when a trickle of water runs from Charlie's hair and down the back of his neck, making goosebumps stand out on his arms. ]

Can we like, continue this inside?

[lawbreakers]

[ Something about the way she looks at him draws a laugh out of him. Either he's the only one still trying to make sense of a few days ago, or she's being a good actress. ]

You were nuzzling.

[kyberheart]

She knew he would never fully recover from his injuries - her heart seized up thinking about it, too. They had been so close to death so many times in such a short amount of time. She was happy for the long break in the medley if only to comprehend everything that happened to them. She was happy Cassian was still alive despite everything that happened to him.

"I'm good." Unlike him, she only suffered from scratches, burns, bruises - but no broken bones, nothing worse than bruised rib.

[impersons]

[ Reluctant as Sam is to break the kiss, going inside is definitely the right option — and it'll give them a chance to talk.

He rests his forehead against Charlie's for a moment, giving a short chuckle. ]

Yeah. Yeah, let's go in.

[ And with a quick kiss to Charlie's nose, he takes a few steps back, intent on leading him up to his apartment. ]

[gunpoints]

That was not nuzzling.

[ It was absolutely nuzzling. ]

And where exactly do you expect me to put my face if you're intent on holding me like this?

[ She shifts her weight, letting one of her arms drop from around his waist so she can rest her hand on his chest instead. She really doesn't think this is a good idea, being close like this after the last few days, but she also doesn't want to try pulling away — though if that's because she wants to keep up appearances or because she actually wants to be pressed up against him, she can't honestly say for herself. ]

[metades]

You're not-- if you need to lie down for a bit I can get you a blanket or something?

( For the most part she ignored his gaze on her scars; it wasn't in her nature to bring them up unless prompted and even then she'd probably have to think up a good excuse. )

You're not a bad guest, you were under that terrible weather for a long time. If you want I can make you some coffee or tea. Or call someone for you?

[thegoodbad]

[He knows that look, the one of wariness, anger, and fear. Clearly she knows something about defending herself and Frank's eyes fall to the blades coming out of her hands, massive and dangerous, and so very unexpected.]

You shouldn't be. Are you lost?

[Frank still keeps his distance but the rain is falling hard, soaking them both, and even he in all his gear and layers is shivering. He can't imagine how she feels.]

[forcefaithful]

[It had been sometime now since Chirrut had felt the gentle coolness of rain upon his warm skin. The first drop had came soft as he walked along the side of the beach, staff in hand as he kept it before him.

It wasn't much longer until soft drops of water fell into a heavy down fall. He could hear the crashing of waves pick up as he came to a sudden stop, that hadn't been what caught his attention.

He sensed something, someone.

And with that his milkey eyes fell along where young Laura happened to be jumping.]

[rebellionbuilt]

He'd go through it all a thousand times over should Jyn ever need him to. He'd climbed back from Hell in order to help her ensure that the job was done, his back and legs giving out time after time after time, and gone through excruciating recovery and physical therapy, and it hardly mattered, if she needed him to, he wouldn't even hesitate, he'd do it all again without giving it a second thought.

"Good", he answered, and he meant it. He was glad that she hadn't been as wounded as he'd been, glad that she would heal easier and more quickly. Cassian would have given anything to be able to take Jyn's pain away if he could. "I've missed you."

[kyberheart]

She didn't need him to go through what he went through a thousand times - in fact, she'd hate the idea of Cassian getting hurt again - watching him cringe and sweat at his injuries - watching him struggle through the physical therapy. She was happy to take him no matter what condition he was in.

"I've been right here," she murmured - looking at his lips and then up into his eyes. He was the one who cut off communication between them, after all.
