It had been raining steadily for a few hours now in Ikebukuro yet it did not stop several people from going about their daily lives.

.Stupid Humans…

The raven haired teen watched in stony silence as people walked towards their destinations in raincoats or with umbrellas. They wandered around like little rats that occasionally tripped and got soaking wet. Even without knowing where they were going it seemed pointless to scurry about in the rain.

Growing tired of watching the loathsome humans he walked away from the window he had settled by. The man, Roppi, picked up his favorite black jacket with furry red trim and headed for the door. He didn't really want to go out and be near humans but he'd rather do that than stay in his cursed apartment.

Slipping on the jacket so that it dangled from his arms hiding any traces of the bandages circled around his wrist along with his hands he walked out the door. He wandered around aimlessly ignoring all that was going on around him until he came to rest at a bench in front of a convenient store. Long walks with constant rain plus a weak immune system usually did not end up well.

He sat and rested hoping he would not get so sick that he could not get back home when he noticed a small voice next to him saying something. He closed his eyes and ignored it until the owner softly shook his shoulder.

"E-E-Excuse me… Y-You don't look to well… Do you n-need help?"

The now irritated raven haired teen opened his red eyes to see who the person annoying him was. Through the grey dull drizzle of the rain the young man next to him seemed to be glowing. He looked out of place with his roughly dyed blonde hair, glasses, and large scarf wrapped around his neck. What surprised the raven the most was that the blonde's eyes matched his… They both had the same red eyes.

"I'm fine human…" he sighed "Why are you even talking to me? Do you need something?" He watched as the male grew flustered and looked down blushing.

"S-Sorry… I'm Ts-Tsukishima… You c-can call me Tsuki…" he stuttered shyly "I had originally stopped to ask d-directions to the nearest store b-but didn't because y-you looked sick…" At this last part his flustered look quickly turned to worry.

Aaaah… This human is worried about me… Why does he even bother? What does he have to gain from worrying about someone he doesn't even know?

After a long pause in which annoyed red eyes watched worried ones until he finally responded. "My name is Hachimenroppi… Have you considered looking around?" He sighed and shook his head "this bench is directly in front of a store…" The blonde looked over at the building and blushed darkly.

"I didn't k-k-know" he exclaimed eyes widening as he got even redder. Without warning he started to hyperventilate. "Oi! Calm down!" Roppi cried watching the panicking blonde. Tsuki kept breathing fast and hard while muttering apologies under his breath.

Roppi looked around for help but there was no one else at all. Then without a single thought he yanked the blonde closer and covered the others lips with his own. Tsuki instantly froze still blushing deeply but now breathing normally. "R-R-Roppi-san...?"

Roppi felt a blush of his own creep over his pale face but instead of talking he started coughing violently. He tried his best to stop but as it was currently impossible he doubled over in pain. Tsuki patted his back in an attempt to help calm the coughing fit enough for it to stop while looking extremely anxious.

"Roppi-san! Are you okay!" The brunette didn't respond as he still could not possibly respond through his continues coughing though he attempted to. After a while he finally stopped coughing and took deep breaths to get enough breath back to talk. Once he finally had fully calmed down he looked over at Tsuki. "…Seriously? 'Roppi'? Are you seriously going to call me that?"

After a serious nod he sighed. He looked down and noted that they both were soaked. "If your house isn't near by you can dry off at my place. But only because I did something w-weird…" Tsuki blushed again and nodded silently accepting the offer.
