It's Always Raining | KomaHina

Cold

Hajime's POV

drip...drip...drip...

I listened as the rain outside poured down, nothing out of the ordinary since it was always raining here. I sighed and looked at my clock- 5:34AM. I didn't wanna get out of bed, but if I didn't start getting ready now I would surely be late for work. I sat up and rubbed my eyes letting out a yawn, I did my morning routine, brush my teeth, comb my hair, put on my work clothes. 

I hummed to myself while I waited for my coffee to brew, once it was finished I put it in a coffee cup that I got from a café I went to once. I grabbed my favorite coat and quickly slipped it on while grabbing my umbrella, and heading out the door. I shivered feeling the rain on my face, I opened the umbrella and holding it above my head. I looked down at my watched and sighed- 6:04AM. If I ran I'd make it on time, but I saw a TED talk one time talking about how if you ran in the rain you'd get even more wet. And I was not about to show up to work drenched, I'm sure it would be fine if I showed up a little bit late. 

I began walking in the rain, cringing every time I felt myself step in a small puddle. My work wasn't much, I worked in a small cubical next to a bunch of other people who also worked in a small cubical. It wasn't the most amazing job, but it paid my bills which was enough for me. I looked in the windows in the stores I passed, nothing caught my eye. As I was nearing my job a car zoomed past me, and into a puddle. I gasped upon feeling the cold water hit me, and watched as the car drove off. I groaned and stomped my foot, I was soaked! 

Annoyed, I stormed into my work place and took my coat of placing it on a hook. This wasn't the first time this happened but it sucks every time, I mean could you imagine sitting in a small cubical in soaking wet clothes all day? Not fun. I took a seat and began typing away. 

Through out the day I watched as people quietly did their work, while others clocked out for the day. I even saw someone get fired for being late to many times, maybe it would be wise to wake up earlier. At around 8PM my shift ended and I could finally go home, I let out a sigh of relief and grabbed my coat and umbrella. It may have been night time but that doesn't mean it wasn't bright out, stores were lit up and so were the headlights of cars. I began walking home, I think I'm gonna go to bed earlier tonight then I normally do. 

While I was walking I started to hear quick footsteps behind me, as if someone was running. Hah sucks for them they're gonna be all wet even with an umbrella! My cocky demeanor soon vanished as I felt the cold water, once again, splash on me. The person who I heard running had run into a puddle, and unfortunately I was splashed it wasn't as bad as the car but it was still annoying having wet socks. The person quickly turned around and looked at me "w-wah! I'm so sorry!" They said, while making eye contact with me. The person had white fluffy hair that looked like a cloud, and wore a green coat, they had a beautiful greyish green eye color and a pale complexion. 

"it's- it's fine, just watch where you're going". The person nodded and continued on their way, I walked home and the moment I stepped inside I practically ran to my shower. I was freezing cold and was still soaking, I took a hot shower and changed my clothes. I flopped down on my bed and pulled the covers over me. I stared up at my ceiling and thought about that person I ran into earlier, they weren't anything special- although I couldn't get my mind off them, oh well. I felt my eyes get heavier and heavier until I fell into a deep slumber.
