Author's note: These themes are done for the LiveJournal community 52flavours. I will also be basing the story off of the manga storyline since I have never seen the TV series.

There also will be spoilers for those who haven't followed the series to where I am at now, so read at your own risk!

once upon a rainy day
Theme #3 - laws of variation

I'm moving on, I know I'm done
I'll find a place where I belong
I'm not afraid, just like you said
I've been disgraced just far too long
— Without You by ANNA TSUCHIYA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)

He wondered if she would gallantly profess her love to her or apologize to him like she normally did, or would ignore him. He wanted to apologize, but wasn't sure if she'd accept it or reject him tearfully.

As the rain started to shower upon them, she barely even noticed that her hair was falling limp from the weather.

As the rain started to drizzle upon them, he didn't even realize that his clothes were being dampened from the weather.

Her actions would have varied, but she made up her mind and turned away, yesterday's tears flooding back to her. She wiped the last of her tears from her face, pushing the dreadful memory away, and continued moving ahead.

His actions would have varied, but he made up his mind and looked away, yesterday's guilt weighing down his heart once more. He tried to focus on a different topic, pushing the dreadful memory away, and proceeded going straight.

She knew the time was not right, and would never be. Maybe there would be a time where she could say sorry to him and settle things, but right now did not seem like the best time to do so.

He knew the time was not right, and would never be. Maybe there would be a time where he could apologize to her and heal wounds, and maybe someday there would be the best time to do so.
