The Rain is Beautiful

(I got the idea from a Saiouma oneshot I read.)

3rd Person Perspective

The rain dripping from the clouds were lightly soaking everything in sight. Most students were either inside their house or dorm room.

When its raining, Shuichi would usually sit by the window in his dorm and read while listening to the soft sounds being created by the rain, tapping onto the window.

But not this time. Shuichi was standing in the rain, holding an umbrella above his head while waiting for the playful purple haired leader to arrive.

He and Kokichi had a date planned for today. Despite Shuichi's offerings to cancel the date due to the rain, the dictator reassured him, saying he wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity.

Truth be told, the two ultimates both had feelings for the other and would occasionally, but discreetly, show it. But yesterday is when they officially asked one another to go on a date, and in the form of a romantic picnic.

Unfortunately, they hadn't expected the weather to change so dramatically, so Shuichi didnt have a plan for them. That was until Kokichi had suggested that they go on a walk during the rain.

Thats how Shuichi ended up standing in the rain and waiting for his date to arrive. A few more minutes passed and Shuichi could see the supreme leader jogging towards him. Once the boy was in clear view, the detective noticed that Kokichi was soaked.

"Nee-heehee, sorry I'm late Shumai. I had to go last minute grocery shopping. I hope you didn't have to wait to long!" The leader greeted.

"It's okay, Kichi. Don't worry about it. But why are so wet?" Shuichi asked with concern.

"I didn't have any umbrella, and the store was out of them." Kokichi replied, calmly.

Shuichi sighed and moved closer to Kokichi, placing the umbrella in his hand above him and the drenched dictator.

Kokichi visibly blushed a faint pink because of how close he was to the detective he loved so much.

Shuichi gently and softly took the boy's hand in his and intertwined their fingers while starting to walk around their college campus. They walked and chatted together about various topics, occationally bringing up their past memories they made during the past school years.

Upon their time, they came across a bench that was conveniently placed under a big tree, leaving the bench to be almost completely dry. The boys sat down and watched the rain in silence. It was a silence that they had grew fond of long ago. Just savoring the peaceful sound of the pidder-padder coming from the rain.

Either they hadn't noticed that they were still holding hands, or neither wanted to let the warmth of their hands go. Kokichi leaned his head onto Shuichi's shoulder and closed his eyes softly. Shuichi smiled and rested his own head on the leader's.

Time had seemed to stop for the two of them. Both were in a state of a peaceful bliss, and neither wanted it to stop. Their nervousness they had at the beginning was completely lost and replaced with a feeling of tranquility.

Shuichi suddenly felt the boy next to him start to shake. He tilted his head to look at Kokichi and spoke calmly but with worry in his voice.

"What's wrong Kichi?"

The leader spoke with shaky words, "N-nothing to w-worry about Sh-shumai! I'm j-just a bit c-cold is all."

Shuichi took a moment to fully take in what the leader was dressed in. Although Kokichi looked absolutely adorable in the sweater he was wearing, it looked rather thin and didn't seem to retain any heat.
