This is just a really short one shot for a Friend. Inspiration hit this morning and here is the result!

Rainy Day Hugs

Pit Pat Pit Pat Pit Pat

Kai looked at the rain falling in a steady stream outside his bedroom window. He had always thought of the rain as someone, whatever god he believed in when he was younger, was crying over the sins on Earth. He had long given up on those thoughts though. He had grown up and given up any hopes in gods, saviors. But, the rain still comforted him somehow. Even when he was in the Abbey. Now, it calms him after one of BladeBreakers ticked him off.

"Stupid Takao…" He muttered, he just had a fight and now Kai was thinking over what he said.

"I shouldn't be thinking over what that idiot said."

"Kai?"

He turned to the voice to find Rei standing behind him with a black book.

"My Journal…" He muttered, frightened.

"Takao found in when he was looking for Dragoon…"

Kai's eyes widened.

"He didn't read it, Max stopped him. But we knew you were upset so I brought it up."

Rei held it out to Kai who hesitantly took it. He looked to see seal and inwardly sighed. Takao or Max hadn't opened it.

"Thanks…" He muttered and turned back to the window.

"Are you alright Kai? I just said that Takao lost Dragoon and you didn't flip…"

"Whatever, let him loose Dragoon. Maybe if he never finds him, he'll smarten up." Kai growled.

"Kai…"

"Whatever Rei, just do what you came in here for and leave." Kai cut him off.

Kai suddenly felt weight on his back and tanned arms wrap around his torso. Kai's eyes were wide.

'Did Rei just… hug me?'

Before Kai had time to fully get what Rei had just done, he had let go.

"Sorry, I just thought you needed that."

Kai turned to Rei who was sporting a small blush.

"Bye Kai…"

Rei turned to leave.

"Could you…" Kai trailed off.

Rei turned his head toward the Captain.

"Could you do…"

"Are you trying to ask for another one Kai?" Rei asked in disbelief, only to get a nod in response.

Rei smiled slightly and took Kai into another warm embrace.

"If you want a hug, just ask. They usually make people feel better."

Kai grinned.

"Oh yeah, I feel better, now, think Takao still hasn't found Dragoon?"

Rei chuckled and shrugged.

"Takao!" Kai bellowed.

"Rei! Did You Tell On Me?"

Rei started laughing and followed Kai down to the living room.
