Morning Rain
Sometimes rickety old umbrellas weren't too bad.
"Aren't you drenched?" She asks, tilting her head.
He flashes a smile, shaking his head. "Nothin' too bad, I'll wait it out. Shouldn't I be asking that to you?" His eyes move towards the holes in her umbrella and Holly laughs.
"I don't mind," she replies, and - after a pause - offers her umbrella. "Here."
He smiles again, tipping his hat.
"Thank you, but I couldn't leave a pretty lady like you here all your lonesome," Wayne says (he swears that somehow telling her that is different, but can't understand why). He thinks that her smile's gotten bigger from his compliment (and much more pretty) and before he knows it they're walking down the road together under her umbrella.
"Which house?" Holly grins and he can't help but grin back. He forgot she was like that - playful. He doesn't mind though.
"First to Meg's," Wayne says as he stares at her. A droplet falls off the tip of his hat, another falls onto the nape of his neck, making him shiver. He's much too big for the umbrella.
He glances at her.
She's much too small for it. (Where the heck did she get the shabby thing anyways?) He notes the skip in her step though, the glow in her eyes - she likes it, he thinks.
When he realizes that, he decides he likes it too.
Her smile made up for all the holes in it (and the cold rain).
AN: And here is the first of many drabbles to come! I hope you enjoyed this one. I needed to get back into the habit of writing and I was thinking of ways to do that while keeping them fairly short. I looked down and lo and behold, there was my Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns. Coincidence? I think so! But I've become a huge fangirl for Wayne and I swoon even after being married to him for nearly a year. He's honestly so adorable, it's a crime!
So for Wayne's adorableness, I've decided to do a mini-story for fifty days between Wayne and Holly (Female main character). Married, dating, or just friends.
