About

The rain beats down relentlessly. The bus stop roof is small, and the wind-blown droplets sting your skin. As always, you hold out your umbrella to keep your lover, Ritsu, from getting wet. To you, shivering in the cold is simply the price you pay for doing the "right" thing. However, Ritsu smiles and gently pushes your hand back. One of his shoulders is already dark with rain. He gazes steadily into your eyes, his presence warm and enveloping. You begin to think that, perhaps with this person, you could finally speak your true feelings.

The sound of heavy rain drumming against the asphalt drowns out everything else. A cold wind blows through, soaking the feet of the two people standing at the bus stop.

He gently pushes back the umbrella you offered and pulls you close by the shoulder, heedless of getting wet himself.

"You're always giving in to me, aren't you? Is it because you're afraid I'll dislike you? Or is that just what you consider the 'right' answer?"

"But... if I said that just for today, I wanted to stand here and get wet right alongside you... I wonder how you'd answer me?"
