The Rain Won't Stop
(Pile and Soramaru)
Black clouds starts forming outside our building. We just finished practicing for our next live and now we are getting ready to go home. Well, not really home. The other members will be going in their recordings and the others will be doing some shooting for our variety shows. As for me, my schedules for today are quite free.
"Hey, we're going now." Kussun said as she and Nanjou-san went out of the room. The two them are going to the recording of NozoEli Radio. Those two are really famous because of the ship pandering that they are doing. Their characters in the anime are also shipped by many fans so it's not really surprising.
"I also need to go now." Rippi said, packing her things in her bag. "I still have a photo shoot later."
"Let's go together Rippi." Shikaco beamed, tugging Rippi's sleeve. "I'll also be doing photo shoot next."
Rippi just nodded then opened the door for the two of them to pass through. Mimorin was not in the practice for today because of the recording of her album. We would always go somewhere together like Rippi and Shikaco after practice but too bad she's busy today.
"The three of us should also be going now." Emitsun sighed.
"Are you going to stay here for a while, Soramaru?" Ucchi asked, looking at me with those obviously worried eyes of hers.
"Just a little bit more." I responded. I'm not really in the mood to go somewhere today because of the weather.
"You should go home." Pile said, giving me her usual poker face look. "It would be bad if the rain pour and you're still on your way, right?"
Well she has a point but the fact that I can't hang out with anyone even though I have a free time today, makes me feel bad. I hate the feeling of being left out. I hate being alone.
"We'll be going now Soramaru." Emitsun said, waving at me before she closed the door of our practice room.
Where should I go now? I don't want to spend all my free time at home. Maybe I should do some strolling huh? I went out of the room after, carrying my bag. When I got out of the building, there's surprisingly lesser amount of people on the road. I walked down the usual way to the park and decided to spend some time there. After reaching my destination, I went to get some drink in the nearby vending machine before sitting down in one of the benches in the park. There are no people around. Maybe it's because of the weather.
"It's really boring." I mumbled to myself, leaning my back in the bench. I closed my eyes and hummed some of our songs. Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan is the first song that come it into my mind so I hummed it peacefully but I stopped when I felt rain drops starts falling on my face. The rain started pouring heavily and so I stood up and run towards a near shed. I forgot to get my drink but I really don't mind at all.
"I'm soaked." I sighed. My clothes are really wet because of the sudden rain and now I don't know how to get home. I didn't bring any umbrella with me today because I never thought that it would really rain this hard. I sat down and drop my bag beside me. The place is really gloomy. I just stared at the distance and started singing the lyrics of the song I hummed earlier, tears starts flowing down my face.
'Why am I crying? It would be bad if others see me like this.' I thought, looking down. I wiped the tears from my eyes but it keeps on falling. Am I afraid? Am I lonely? But the thoughts vanished when I felt a warm object around me.
"Didn't I tell you to go straight home?"
"Eh?" I looked up at the owner of that familiar voice. She's arranging the jacket that gave me warmth. "Why are you here, Pile-chan?" was the only thing that came out from my mouth as I stared at the woman in front of me.
"They cancelled the shooting for KotoHonoMaki today and so I decided to go home." She sighed, sitting beside me. "Then I saw you here. Why are you even here?"
"Well the rain started pouring so I'm stuck here." I mumbled huskily.
"Your voice is weird. Are you okay?"
I didn't answer. The tears start forming beside my eyes again. I don't want anyone to see this side of me, especially Pile-chan. She's a cool and composed person. I admire how she strives hard in practice and in everything she does. It's amazing how she handles work and problems at the same time. I love her voice and her smiles. Even though we're quite akward with each other, I still find it comfortable being with her.
"Hey… Sora?"
She held my hands and gently squeezed it, letting the warmth of hers travel to mine. Happiness starts swelling up inside me. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. Is it because of her presence? Will I also feel this way if the other members found me instead of Pile-chan? Once again, I didn't respond to her. I just hugged her tightly, not letting go of her hand and tightly gripping her back with my other hand.
"S-Sora? H-Hey… What are yo-"
"Can we stay like this until the rain stops?" I barged, closing my eyes while inhaling her nice and calming smell. I also like how Pile-chan smells. Sometimes I would lie and tell her that I forgot my perfume so that I can borrow hers but it's really different when it's from the person herself. It smells much nicer.
"O-Okay…" She mumbled, patting my head.
I hope that the rain don't stop so that we could stay like this forever, comfortably hugging one another, without worrying anything. I wish I could just stay like this with her.
