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.

[Okay, she can't exactly deny that first part. Still...]

I'm sure it'd be angelic, but that's neither here nor there.
More over, you're there and not here and you DO know this is supposed to get worse before it gets better, right?

[peacefulwinter]

[...she has to squint a bit through the raindrops obscuring the screen.]

It is? Huh. Maybe I should have looked at the forecast before I went shopping. Hey, do you think calling up Diamond's power and making myself an umbrella out of ice would work?

[Please be practical, Winter.]

[How does one describe a pancake to someone who's never eaten one, let alone a kid? He wonders if he'll have to get her an extra stack. Not that it's a bother.]

They're like... flat cakes without the frosting, but you get to put whatever you want on top. [He grabs one of the mini menus displaying their most popular items from behind the stacks of jellies and other condiments, laying it flat between them. He points to one stack in particular covered in the works: whipped cream and fruit galore.] Somethin' like that.

Cassian's heart almost stopped entirely to hear Jyn's confession. But he gently pressed his forehead to hers, and his lips lifted into a small smile, and hoped that hearing that she was not alone in it would quell any embarrassment she might be feeling. "Me, too." Often. And even though he only had his own hands to help out, just the thought of being with Jyn really and truly was more than enough to help him find his pleasure.

And yet ... even just in this, actually getting to touch her and kiss her and map her body with his hands was infinitely better than any fantasy he'd conjured up in his head.

He couldn't help worrying, though, that reality wouldn't be better than fiction, that he'd somehow end up unable to satisfy Jyn in the ways that she deserved, and ... no, he shouldn't think like that. It would just sour their enjoyment, it'd make him overthink and ultimately end up a total kriffing disgrace.

Best to take each moment as they came, without wondering every step of the way if he was living up to her fantasies. But it was easy to stop thinking once Jyn removed her undershirt, and Cassian found her halfway bare in front of him for the first time. It was easy to let his instincts take over, urging him to reach out, to set a palm against her stomach, and even to keep it there no matter how much he wanted to explore every inch of her.

"Can I?", he asked, his voice nothing more than a hoarse whisper. He needed to discover her. But he needed her permission first.

[pellucidus]

I know it's too late, but I think we should get breakfast anyway.

[ it isn't in serah's nature to take full command of any situation – that has always been her sister's thing – but she falls easily into that role when it comes to these outings with snow. so she takes that menu as he hands it over to her and runs a clean fingertip down their options. ]

I'm thinking something sweet, [ which should provide snow an ample opportunity for a good joke. serah can already predict this and it makes her smile even wider than it already is. ]

[steelguard]

It's never too late for breakfast. ( because honestly. who would think to overlook something like bacon, or pancakes, even taking the hour into consideration? breakfast is the sort of meal one can have at any given time, and this is no exception, especially when he sees her perusing the menu like she already has something in mind.

which, she does. which leaves him open for the joke she knows he's going to make — ) Got something sweet right here — ( but he reigns himself back in easily enough, still taking to peeking over her shoulder to weigh his options, even if ultimately it's all up to what she wants.

and they'll share, or something. because that's just a thing they do. )

[pellucidus]

[ the rain grows louder outside and serah goes quiet as she watches the fat droplets slide down the window at an angle. thank goodness they have both taken shelter together. it takes her a moment to respond to his comment which naturally makes her laugh, a sunny and – well – sweet thing. ]

I'd say you're sweeter today.

[ she lifts her chin to nuzzle her nose against his cheek, lightly touching his face but keeping all these shows of affection brief lest they make the other restaurant patrons uncomfortable. or maybe she is just accustomed to toning it down around her sister. ]

Mixed berry pancakes, [ serah announces, keeping the menu open for him. they will absolutely share because that is what they do. no meal is complete without picking something off snow's plate and vice versa. she can't remember a time before it. ]

[steelguard]

( well, one of them has to be good about the whole toning it down thing, and between the two of them, being lightning's sister serah has the homefield advantage; snow likes to think he's gotten better at handling himself when they're in the other's presence, but sometimes he just can't help but to give in to the need to kiss her cheek. or hold her hand. or just hold her against him, like he absolutely can shield her from everything that could possibly hurt her.

damn it, he's going to. anyway.

he peers at the menu again briefly, scanning the lines and trying to decide what would go best with berry pancakes, and ultimately — ) And sausage and hashbrowns. ( is it really all that surprising that he has a tendency to carbload? he's not exactly a small guy, he needs his energy to stay at peak performance, and who can honestly say no to hashbrowns?

seriously. but there's more than enough for them to share, and of course he's going to let her have anything she wants without question. ) And we'll finish it all. I just realized I'm starving.

[pellucidus]

[ serah thinks that lightning is coming around, even if the thought of the little sister one day leaving the nest is something that upsets her. she is still young and there is a lot of ground she and snow have to cover anyway before they even consider other big relationship milestones. as tempting as it is to move quickly, as much as she does love him, she has to remind herself that they should slow down once in a while.

with a sister like light and being a strong person herself, she knows that she is capable of just about anything but at the same time, knowing snow is there to shield her from any harm is a great comfort.

and as far as food goes, not even the smaller farron can say no to a breakfast staple. at his comment, she laughs and pats his stomach. ] You burn through all that food so quickly! [ he is a big, active guy and, darn it, she loves that.

eventually, she does place the order for the two of them, politely handing their menus over to the waitstaff.
with two coffees placed in front of them, and her boyfriend's arm around her shoulders, it's as if the rain never chilled her in the first place. ]

[steelguard]

( slowing down … is not something that he's ever really known the ins and outs of, even if it's a relatively simple concept; he's never so much as been in a rush to push their relationship to its next marker as he has been relatively adamant about just being with her, and that's a whole other thing in and of itself. as long as they're happy together, hell. they can stay right where they are. maybe lightning will come around in entirety eventually.

or maybe she won't, and she'll just keep knocking him flat on his butt every chance she gets. it's a pretty fifty-fifty thing when it all comes down to it, isn't it?

anyway. he is a big, active guy and he is her big, active guy — and he might just puff up a little bit when she says that, but don't mind him, because he's just this big galoot with an even bigger stomach and the metabolism of some giant thing that never stops moving. ( like … a behemoth, almost, and sometimes he's about as smart as one, but we're just going to leave that alone for now. )

he takes a second to dump a rather large amount of sugar into his coffee, another second to take a sip, and gives over a pleased hum. ) I burn a lot of energy. ( he says mildly, though there's the shine of his amusement in the light of his eyes, clear as anything. ) Not everybody can be as tiny as some people.

( 'cause you know. u tiny. )

[pellucidus]

[ she knows in her heart that lightning will come around for her sake because they always put family first. snow is the only person she wants to be with and she hopes that her sister understands that even if she rolls her eyes and puts up a fight.

and that's serah, always realistically optimistic, not so young and green that she doesn't realize there are limitations. they need time. right now they have time. ( she doesn't know what's to come, what will pull all of them apart, what will test their love for her. )

as snow pours sugar into his coffee – always too much in serah's opinion, but he usually counters that by saying something like nothing's as sweet as she is – she pours a touch of milk into hers. a smile forms on pink lips and she wrinkles her nose, squinting an eye. ] I thought I was gonna be taller when I grew up. I hoped I would be.
