...whale food porn. what is my life. thanks, nasu.

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.

>> TAG others, use RNG if you need to, or just make up your own scenario if you want!

[Slowly Tohsaka curls forward a little so he can easily access the majority of her back that's no submerged by the water and bubbles of the bath.]

Don't count on it. This War might not last that long.

[ Astolfo leans a little further forward so he can match her movement. His wash cloth rubs across her back in small circular motions and he's close enough that she might feel his breath. ]

Ah, you're right of course. I'll do what I can to help you no matter what, Rin.

[ He smiles. It's almost a little sad, really. ]

That's my duty as a paladin.

[She's... not quite sure how to respond. With her Servant being more obedient and less frustrating that usual she's out of her element. At a loss for how their banter should continue. For a while silence settles between them as the only noise is Astolfo dutifully washing Rin's back.]

...Thank you. [She finally whispers, but it echoes a little against the bathroom tile.]

[ Maybe it's forward, maybe he's just a little crazy (he did leave his reason on the moon) but he leans forward forward. He rests his hands against her shoulders, watching water drip across her skin. ]

It's the least I can do for my cute Master. I know that you want the Grail and even if I don't care about it, I'm supposed to help you.

[ He smiles. ]

That you strive so hard for something is admirable to me. You have a cause and you're dedicated to it.

[...Ah. That catches her off guard. He'll feel her body shudder underneath him as she instantly becomes thankful her back is to her Servant. Rin can feel warmth flooding her cheeks as her desperately wishes the bubbles in the bath could hide even that.]

I— I'm glad you feel that way, Rider. It's nice to know you're loyalty.

[ The blush is... pretty noticable. Astolfo rests his head against the back of Rin's with a quiet noise. His hnads move again, going back to scrubbing lazily at her back. ]

You should keep fighting for what you desire as long you're alive.

[ He's silent, then probably ruins everything. ]

Anything else you need me to wash~?

[Rin's skin comes alive when Astolfo's head rests against her. She's sensitive from not having been touched by anyone for ten years, but at least she doesn't make a noise.]

Are you offering to use the pumice stone on my feet?

[Go ahead. Gently rub any callouses forming so she keeps her nice delicate and pampered look. She normally does all this on her own, but if she can foist it on someone else? Great.]

[ Astolfo shrugs a little. He seems ready to take whatever comes to him with his Master. ]

If that's what you'd like for me to do, I'll do it!

[ Astolfo picks up the pumice and adjusts his seating to scoot closer to the edge of the tub. He pats the tiled rim with a smile. ]

Left or right first, Master?

[Tohsaka is surprised. She turns around carefully so that the bubbles still keep her fairly decent.]

Are you serious, or having a bit of fun?

[ Astolfo grins that stupid grin of his. ]

It can be both, can't it?

[Rin huffs, pouts, and flicks water at him.]

[ Astolfo laughs at that and tilts his head towards her. He doesn't seem to mind that he's getting splashed. ]

You're cute when you pout, Master.

[ Is he flirting? Or is he just teasing? Who knows? ]

[Rin presses herself against the wall of the tub, and flicks his nose.]

You say I'm cute a lot.

[ Astolfo goes a little cross-eyed as Rin moves up to the edge of the tub to flick at him. He half-snorts and half-laughs, then reaches out to gently nudge his finger up against her nose in return. ]

Because it's true, Master. And besides, I like cute things.

[ He crosses his arms on the edge of the rub and rests his chin there, practically nose to nose with Rin. ]

Do you not like it when I call you cute?

N—no... I don't mind.

[She has avert her eyes and turn her head away to put some distance between their faces.]

Keep up the good work, Rider.

[ He watches her turn away, then without warning leans in and gives her an affectionate kiss on the cheek. Astolfo sits back, looking as if he's done absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. ]

I'll give you my all, Master. Don't worry!

[ ? ]

[ ?!?!?!!!!! ]

Astolfo!

[ CHIN IN HANDS. He gives Rin the most innocent look in the world. ]

Yes, Master?

[She growls:] Get out.

[ Astolfo bows his head in a brief motion of acknowledgement and gets to his feet in a smooth motion. If he's bothered by the curt dismissal, he doesn't show it. ]

Of course, Master. I'll start your tea. Mata ne~!

[ And he breezes out of the bathroom with a little wave. Soon enough he'll be puttering around the kitchen starting the tea and keeping himself busy. ]
