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.

[ the world is different now than it had been that first weekend at the farm. there are others, even superman can die, there are new wars and problems. the things that matter most to lois are still the same — or the same again. she shares an apartment with clark. they visit his mom. she writes articles and drinks too much coffee and he's still the best man she knows.

and not even because he comes when she calls him because there's no way to escape the rain. ]

Yeah.

[ it's good to see him. it always is, it always was, but ever since he came back, it's been hitting lois more. she knows what it's like to lose him, now. (sometimes, she has to remind herself that this is real, that he is.)

she moves up on tiptoes to brush a kiss against the corner of his mouth, a greeting more than anything. ]

No kittens in trees that needed saving more than me?

[signifies]

No kittens in trees.

[ They always come down by themselves anyway!

He grins at her. it's felt more important to do that recently, just as he rarely leaves her alone in the apartment. They cling to each other for a bit, and that's okay too.

But he can't promise he's never leaving again. It might come to that choice a second time, and he hopes it won't. Now that there's so much to do and others to do it with. If it's selfish, he doesn't care. ]

Shall we?

[ he can't promise he's never leaving again, and she won't ask him to. she wishes that she could and she hopes that she'll never have to go through what she did again, but -- he wouldn't be the man she loves if he could make that promise. he's here now, closer even than before, his grin bright as the sun even on a rainy day like this, and it's enough.

(it has to be.) ]

Just waiting for you, Smallville.

[ it's an easy thing, wrapping her arms around his neck and knowing that he'll pick her up, carry her, keep her safe. trusting him was never difficult, but she cherishes it more now, turning her face to press it against his neck, to breathe him in as much as to shelter herself from the rain. ]
