Title: Hope

Theme: in the rain

It wasn't really raining, just drizzling, but the drizzle alone was enough to make Cagalli smile.

« It's about time it rains! » she exclaimed happily, sticking out her tongue to catch a raindrop. « This should help those farmers suffering from the drought, » she told Athrun, who had already taken shelter from the rain.

« I don't see what you're so happy about, » he said pessimistically, taking a step into the open after realizing that the skies were not about to open on him. « This little rain will do nothing for their crops. »

« Oh, I know that, » snapped Cagalli, rolling her eyes, « but it's hope, isn't it? »

Two thick raindrops plopped onto Athrun's shoulder as he stared at Cagalli, startled. Hope; he would have to remind himself to remember it existed.


I'd love it if you'd review!
